Maxi-Cosi gets IsoFix

Dutch carseat and stroller company Maxi-Cosi now has the IsoFix system. Called LATCH in the good old USA, IsoFix allows a carseat to be installed using anchors that fit into holders made on the car (all new models have these). I know Maxi-cosi is much loved by American parents as well, however I am not sure if the anchors work with our LATCH sytem. I have heard that Maxi-Cosi does plan to eventually spread to American within a few years.

Sorry, even more Britney

I am very sorry for the number of Britney posts recently. However, she seems to be all over the news. German tv station RTL was given a photo tour of Britney's home shortly before the birth of her son Sean. The photos included Britney's room, Kevin's kids' playroom, and little Sean's nursery. And by the looks of it, I'm guessing that Britney really didn't know what she was having. What's up with the all the pink.

The Corisican Cradle can be bought at Poshtots.

And yet more Britney

People Magazine has reported that Britney's new baby is named Sean Preston Federline and already he has recieved a lot of loot. Now I cannot be sure that Britney actually got this stuff, it's just what the magazine said. But here's what People reported on.

EDE Metallic Diaper Bag by Pauline Quintana (above) - Friends bought this in gold for Spears as a gift. Available at Intuition in gold only. La La Ling has it in other colors.

Lulah Sweater - By Amber Hagen. Britney bought this blue cahsmere cardigan herself at Kitson.

Little Giraffe Blanket - In blue chenille. Another Kitson prize.

Brad Spitt Onesie - Yet another find at Kitson for Brit. Angelina Jolie is said to have one for her daughter as well.

Babystyle Chair - A present from Britney's mom. She bought the kid-sized chair in leather for Sean at Babystyle of course!

Sophie the Giraffe

I was curious about Sophie the Giraffe. After seeing her picture on our site's ads for several weeks, I started to wonder who she was. So I checked it out and was quite amazed. Sophie started in France in 1961 as a toy designed to stimulate the senses and soothe the teething gums. She quickly became Europe's "must-have" baby item. To date, Sophie has sold over 10 million units in Europe alone. Impressive! I can't think of any other baby item that has done that. But there's more! Sophie is also made by hand of finest rubber and food quality paint. Nothing unsafe.

She can be bought online at Kanai-Yu, along with a whole bunch of other Sophie related products. I'm getting the stuffed one!

New For Mountain Buggy

New Zealand stroller maker Mountain Buggy now has clips for American made carseats. The new adaptors work for Peg Perego Primo Viaggios and Graco Snugrides, allowing the all-terrain buggies to become travel systems. They even sell a clip for double strollers too. I know a lot of Mountain Buggy owners who have talked about this, and I'm glad that Mountain Buggy has added this new feature.


Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Work has been busy.

Robeez are popular

I have been seeing this shoe everywhere lately. The pink cupcake bootie from Robeez Footwear has appeared on every celeb baby girl from Sam Sheen to Dayna Devon's baby's closet! I really like Robeez shoes and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a baby shoe that will stay on. They come in a million different styles and they even make boots now for babies!

Ben and Christine like Posh Tots

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor recently called upon hip internet store PoshTots to create a special environment for their new arrival. When Quinlin Dempsey Stiller was born in July, the couple had a nursery designed for him by the artists and decorators at Posh Tots, whose client list also includes Dylan and Shiva Rose McDermott and Benjamin Bratt and wife Talisa Soto. You may recall the last time around, Ben and Christine had their daughter Ella's nursery designed by Auntie Barbara's Antiques.
