• A Plush Grill Set for Baby Grill Masters

  Before you have kids you think the weird toys will be the ones that don't look like anything in particular - the toys that just rattle, have a lot of black and white stripes and seem to have the sole purpose of being put in a baby's mouth. But as it turns out, the truly strange baby toys are the things that are supposed to be things in your life that you never thought someone would make into a toy. Case in point - My First Grill Baby Activity Toy from Russgril. Read More...

• Cute Prints for the Tiny Babies

  When I was shopping for my baby-to-be, everyone said, "Buy things big! They grow out of clothes so quickly." And I did (and they were right), but I may have taken people's advice a little too much to heart because my 7-pound baby was swimming in most of his clothes for the first three weeks. If I had it to do over again, I would have picked up a few items from Zutano's Itzy-Bitzy line, especially Read More...

• Organic puppies & whales & bunnies, oh my!

  After hearing my sister share many, many stories about her days of working in a toy store and the bug-infested condition in which most plush toys arrive from overseas, she has scared me away from stuffed animals completely. However, Peacetoys creates Organic Foundlings: soft, organic cotton animals in modern, irresistibly cute shapes that are safe even for infants! Read More...

• Dog Saddlebags: The Best Diaper Bag on Four Legs?

  Last week I wrote about this diaper caddy from Skip Hop, and although I'm not a big fan of bringing your diaper changing gear from room to room, I thought it was a pretty good product. But then in the comments Babble reader "Rocket" had this out-of-the-box solution: put a saddle bag on your dog and stuff it full of diapers and wipes. Genius! Read More...

• Softest Baby Blanket Ever!

  Maybe baby isn’t old enough yet to appreciate satin sheets, but who can resist a snuggly 100% cashmere blanket? Kinder Cashmere makes super-cute, super-deluxe cashmere blankets and carriage throws in gorgeous pastel shades with designs featuring seahorses, bunnies, whales, and sailboats. Probably not the blanket you’d want to toss on the grass at the park or risk having splashed with spaghetti sauce, but an unbeatable blanket choice for naptime. Available at FAO Schwartz.  photosource: Kinder-Cashmere.com Posted Apr 26 2008, 04:02 PM by alibaba with | with no comments Filed under: infants, bedding, toddlers, gifts, baby gear

• DIY Baby Books: No More Blank Pages

  Baby books can make a new mom feel so guilty. If you don't remember to fill in baby's first coo and smile and burp, there are all those blank pages staring up at you for a lifetime. That's why I love Ex Libris Anonymous. They recycle cool vintage books into fresh, spiral-bound journals. You can write what you like, when you like. There are loads of topics, from Are You My Mother? to the How To Do It Encyclopedia (ahem) and many more. $12, $13 or $15 depending on size (includes shipping) at bookjournals.

• Green Baby: Sprout Basics

  There's a lot to like about the Sprout line of eco-friendly baby clothing. Made from a combination of 70 percent bamboo and 30 percent cotton, the pieces themselves are incredibly soft. But it's the style that grabs me. You don't see a lot of purple infant-wear and the contrasting blue piping/footies really sets off the look. The new sprout kit--kimono top, footie bottoms and a hat--is $47. Posted Mar 25 2008, 05:08 PM by Erin Behan with | with no comments Filed under: eco-friendly, clothing, green baby, infants, sprout

• An Elephant's Backside Can Be Pretty Cute

  I always appreciate a little babywear humor--as long as it doesn't venture too far into the world of poo jokes. This elephant and bird bodysuit from Craftsbury Kids (on sale for $12.95) works for me. Available in the 6-12 month size, the bodysuit is screenprinted by hand on an American Apparel onesie (meaning it runs a little small).

• Combi Car Seat Recall

  Combi USA just announced a "Voluntary Safety Recall" for three types of child car seats they make, the Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle. Apparently in frontal crash tests the "seat of the restraint could potentially separate from its base." The seats were produced from October 2005 to December 2007. Apparently you can use the car seat without the base, which is what they are recommending until you receive your free retrofit kit (which takes 6-8 weeks). More information about the car seat recall can be found on this .pdf file from their official web site.
