Babystyle gets some new clothes for spring

Trendy store babystyle has some new looks out. This season, they've totally remade their First Wardrobe layette pieces. Cream is out and white is for the new looks, which include a lap bodysuit for the first time ever (pictured above) and a diaper cover. All the colors are new as well. Some other new patterns include butterfly blossoms for girls and fun fishies for boys.

Expect their new catalog out soon.

Britney makes Combi cry

Or at least they should be crying.

Stroller and baby gear company Combi makes such cool stuff. In fact, their carseat the Connection (owned by Spears) is one of the best infant seats around. It has a five point harness, special foam in the headrest for impact protection, and it's got LATCH. And guess what else? It's not that freakin complicated to put a baby in! Just lay the kid down, buckle the top harness, and then put the five little sections together at the bottom. Combi even has a virtual demo on their website.

Yet for some reason Brit, who spent $150 for the seat, didn't even try. Poor Combi. This isn't the celebrity rub they wanted.

*edit* It has been reported elsewhere that Britney owns another carseat in addition to this one. I cannot confirm that. The Combi Connection is the only one I have seen her with.

Gwen shops in style

Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale sure know how to shop. The pair recently were spotted at the chic London store Elias and Grace, a baby and maternity shop, where the couple spent 13,000 pounds (around $26,000!). Gwen adored the clothing by French baby company Petit Bateau and bought pretty much the entire range in all different sizes and colors (neutral colors, mostly). Gwen also stocked up on maternity wear by Vivienne Westwood and See By Chloe. Nice choices.

Gwen plans to start her own line of maternity clothing soon.

The Maxi Cosi Tobi

Maxi Cosi's newest child seat, the Tobi, is made for parents in a hurry. That's what the company is saying about it's newest invention, which was designed by experts in child safety to be quick and east to use. How does it work? Automatic seat belts! Yes, the safety belts on the seat open and close automatically with the touch of a button. When the belts have been fastened on the baby, the green ‘All-clear' button tells you that your child have been secured safely and properly. Too bad Maxi Cosi still hasn't made it over here yet. You can of course order them from Baby Care nl and also Baby Concierge will ship to the USA.

Over the Rainbow

The Wizard of Oz is one of those movies! My mother remembers when it was first released, and whenever it played on television (in the sixties), she would let us stay up late and make us cinnamon toast. And my two girls . . . Halloween . . . Ruby Red Slippers . . . sound familiar? We all have our Dorothy memories, yet somehow I wonder why our family pet is a Cairn Terrier? So of course I had to get the whole line of Cuddle Factory's Wizard of Oz Beanie Characters for the shop. How could I choose between Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, and Glenda? For all us OZ fans, follow the yellow brick road to our store link Recurrent Dreams : http://estore.websitepros.com/805672/Detail.bok?no=93

Not so Desperate Housewives

I am always excited, when I get a new item in the shop. Especially when it's an asian inspired brocade "Kecci's Shanghai Mommy Bag"! It is similar to Petunia Pickle Bottoms, the celebrity status diaper bag, but a fraction of the price, at $58! Lynette (Desperate Housewives) can keep her $150 Petunia Pickle Bottom Bag. Life is different away from Wisteria Lane, but if Gabrielle saw our Shanghai Bag she would definitely use it as a yoga / spa bag. Then she would treat herself to a facial!

Pronto Changer

The newest creation from Skip Hop is the Pronto Mini Changer, a portable changing station that's small enough to fit in a diaper bag or attach to a stroller. The changer comes with a wipe-clean and removable chaning pad complete with head pillow, a translucent wipes case, a large mesh pocket, and a front zipper pocket. Sold at Modern Seed and other hip baby stores.
