More cool Graco products

Graco now makes a twin playard/bassinet. Is that not just the cutest idea ever? Features include an extra-large play area, two bassinets with canopies, and of course Graco's new "wave" style shape. It doesn't have the little music box thing or a mobile, but you can buy the music box seperatly so that's not a big. Available at Baby Supermarket.

Also check out Graco's new Baby Einstein playard and swing.

New Graco SafeSeat

Graco's new infant car seat for 2006 is called the SafeSeat. It replaces the Snugride and includes the newest must-have car seat feature, Side Impact Protection. Seems like everyone is getting SIP this year. It's very much like the Snugride of course, however there are a lot of very big improvements. The headrest looks to be nicer, and the blanket attachment is bigger. Actually the headrest is now called the "Infant Body Pillow". Get it now at Buy Buy Baby.

Ooba

I saw this on Daddytypes. What a cool bassinet! This modern little cradle is a part of the Nest collection at Ooba, a modern baby company statrted by parents who wanted to buy furniture for baby that went well with their home. Ooba right now only sells the bassinet, but they are planning to expand their line and have a crib, rocker, and glider soon. So stay tooned!

New Maclaren Travel System

For 2006, Maclaren has created a travel system like no other. The Easy Traveller Car Seat Carrier Stroller is an umbrella stroller that accommodates most major brands of infant car seats, including ones from Britax and Combi. It's got a HUGE storage basket, a cup holder, and a very unique way to fold it with one hand. I assume when they say "umbrella stroller" that they mean it later turns into a regular Maclaren for an older child. Although Maclaren has not updated their website with this product yet, so I can't be sure. But it's available now online at Bare Babies.

Liv's Carrier

Liv Tyler stepped out in New York City over the Christmas holidays with Baby Milo in hand. Well, maybe not in hand. Liv carried her year-old son in a Baby Bjorn Active Carrier. The posh sling, which came out last year, was designed for parents on the move. Features include increased back and shoulder support for both parent and child, as well as a unique design for breast-feeding. Available at most baby stores.

PBK gets a Tiny Love mobile

Over the years, Pottery Barn Kids has teamed up with a lot of baby companies to produce special versions of their products, mixed with a PBK flavor. Arm's Reach, Boppy, and Zooper have all created luxe versions of their best selling items in recent years. And now it's Tiny Love's turn. Introducing the Symphony In Motion Mobile by Pottery Barn Kids. This mobile, like the original by Tiny Love, plays Mozart and other classical tunes while entertaining the baby with special shapes and movement. PBK vamped it up a bit though, adding their own characters and fabric. Retails for $69.99, a tad bit more than the original.

The New Papasan Bouncer

Here's a sneak peek at Fisher-Price's new Papasan bouncer for 2006. They've added some new features and tweaked a few others. The bouncer now includes a toy mobile with a built-in mirror and a removable soft toy. The headrest and bodyrest have been changed a litle bit and I'm not seeing anything in the review about a blanket like the old one. The new model is suppose to fold flat, unlike the older didn't. It's available now at Babies R Us.
