May 2, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Kids,Shopping | Tags: Strollers, Stylin', Technology
Here you splashed out for some sweet wheels with the Bugaboo Cameleon, and yet you’re still left looking a bit silly as you fumble around trying to stroll-and-Tweet.
Not to mention that poor little old lady you mowed down in the process. (Grandma is never going to forgive you for that.)
Well, get a grip! Literally. With the new Bugaboo iPhone holder that helps you get a better grip on your Cameleon or Bee and your phone, giving you the freedom to stroll-and-text, stroll-and-talk, stroll-and-rock-out, stroll-and-navigate and, yes, stroll-and-Tweet.
Be sure to Tweet this: Bugaboo is contributing 1% of total revenue to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. And, let’s face it: the only thing that feels better than the smooth ride of a Bugaboo is the joy that comes from trying to help others.
Available at Bugaboo.com and other online retail stores; $24.95
Give Your Baby a Leg Up with the Peg Perego Skate
May 1, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Kids,Shopping | Tags: Strollers
No, we’re not talking about making your kid the next Michelle Kwan. This Skate is a versatile carriage-to-stroller system from Peg Perego that has just been updated as a three-piece system with new colors — including Kiwi, Tropical and Java (sounds delicious) — and an even larger removable bassinet with a handle for easier carrying.
Well, as easy as it can be, considering you’re also lugging a diaper bag, toys, blankets, what remains of your sanity…
The bassinet feature has also been redesigned to offer baby additional padding, while the seat feature features more space for the quickly growing tot. Knowing that ease is key for harried parents, they’ve also made the stroller easier to open and close. The rest of the Skate, however, is the similar to last year’s version: The bassinet can stand alone and offers a 3-position height adjustment plus an adjustable backrest. Aaahhh. Meanwhile, the reversible seat allows baby to face parents or, if he grows tired of you making googly eyes at him, you can turn him around to see our crazy world.
The company’s Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat (sold separately) can be attached directly to the frame with the included adapters. Best of all, the stroller has a “one-hand” folding system that you’ll appreciate as you also juggle that diaper bag, baby, toys and, of course, the crumbs of your sanity.
With the Skate, you’ll be gliding around the neighborhood in style in no time. (See what we did there?)
Available at BabiesRUs.com among other online retail stores; $699.99

"Oh, crap."
Hey, parents — if you have a Maclaren stroller, you’re going to want to mute that “Two and a Half Men” rerun on the TV and pay full attention to this story. Yes! I have something important to share for once!
British stroller maker Maclaren and the Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling approximately 1 million strollers after the company received a dozen reports of children’s fingertips getting amputated by a hinge on the strollers.

Taga Stroller/Bike Combo Converts, Pushes, Rides, Fetches Martinis

Helmet, Schmelmet
Introducing a baby stroller that may be ridden in almost as many positions as Paris Hilton on any given night: the three-wheeled convertible Taga, described by makers as the ultimate “yummy mummy accessory.”
Well, wearing Ryan Reynolds on my arm may be a tad more yummy, but this is still pretty damn cool.
To help us burn calories and save fuel, the Taga converts into a child-carrying bicycle in just a few seconds. Although, given my recent struggles in figuring out our new car seat and stroller, I’m guessing it would take a bumbling idiot like me longer than that.
Taga, which is available in red, green, orange or light-blue, is no joke: it has been developed over the last four years by a team of international designers and safety engineers. As you can see, kids are carried in forward-facing seats between the handlebars and are secured by a five-point harness, and mothers can apparently ride the contraption in five-mile-high wedges.
Of course, this may all be a moot point considering you’ll have to sell your first-born in order to afford it: the Taga will set you back a whopping $2,500. MILF not even included.
