Do You Dream of Electric Pink Sheep?

SunnyChanel — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:00:00 GMT

You got your white sheep and your occasional black sheep but what little kid gets to ride on their very own pink sheep? The lucky one who gets the Electric Pink Rocking Sheep by Danish Crafts. This fluffy hot pink sheep is an adorable option for the nursery that goes beyond just the black and white. But it’s an expensive option. It goes for $575 from Vivre here.

Like Pink Poodles? Well, Here Ya Go...

Cathy Hale — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Rocking horses are so last year. Welcome to the delightful world of non-traditional rocking animals. Cows, pigs, ducks, dinosaurs, sheep, etc. Dubbed a "prim and proper rocking toy," this Pink Poodle may be the ultimate girlie rocker ever built. Don't worry, they have a less-pink brown cow too. For children (and poodle aficionados) up to 60 pounds. Retails for $159 at Room Service Home.

The Office's Dwight Schrute Crash "Tests" An Orbit Stroller

Chris Ford — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:52:00 GMT

Wondering what kind of stroller Dwight K. Schrute abused so unmercifully on tonight's episode of The Office? Well, for one it's not just a stroller, it's a total "Infant System." And it's actually a little cheaper than the $1,200 price tag that set him off on the show. At least the part he was running over with his car.

The Orbit Infant System is a modular stroller/car seat system, designed to adapt and grow as your baby grows. With the infant system (the part Dwight was "testing" on the show) you get an infant car seat, a base and a stroller, all for about $900.

The Orbit Bassinet and Cradle was also shown on the show (in the conference room while Dwight was in the parking lot running over the stroller with his car). The Bassinet attaches to the stroller, as well as a Rocker base that can swivel and lock, allowing your baby to rock either front to back or side to side. That part sells for around $280. And eventually as your children grow up, you can buy a regular stroller seat and a regular car seat from Orbit as well.

The Orbit is definitely one of the top stroller/car seat systems out there, and it was cool to see it featured so prominently on The Office tonight. And for $900 (minus the bassinet), it's still cheaper than Dwight's bomb shelter.

Check out the Orbit Infant System at OrbitBaby.com (and find a local or online retailer here).

Or check out the official web site for The Office at NBC.com (and don't miss Dwight's official blog, Schrute-Space).

Keith Haring Rocking "Horse" Is For The Pop Art Freak In All Of Us

Chris Ford — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:54:00 GMT

Are the late 80s in again? For me Keith Haring's iconic art screams the late 80s, but if it's in again, then you should check this one out. Someone has gone and made a rocking horse out of Keith Haring's drawing "The Radiant Baby."

The Keith Haring White Rocker by Vilac is 26.3" wide by 17" high and is for ages two and up. I'm not sure exactly who this would be perfect for - maybe for someone who has done up a nursery with a Haring motif, or maybe for the kid who's parents are pop art freaks. It's a little pricey for a rocker, but not totally unreasonable for something so unique.

Cool Dirt-Cheap Kids Rocker

Erin Behan — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:13:00 GMT

Sure you could drop $215 on the Small Paul log rocker (I'm not denying its lust-worthiness), but if your budget is more modest, consider Ikea's new Rusig rocker for just $9.99. It's made of polypropylene and rubber and is recommended for kids 18 months and up. Best of all, unlike most of Ikea's stuff, it can be ordered online.

Nursery Rockers that Rock

elizabeth leach — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:00:00 GMT

At last. A comfortable nursery glider that is also attractive. (Dare I say “cute”? But not too cute.) Sure, there are plenty of cool, sleek modern gliders and rockers but try curling up on one of those at three in the morning to nurse your newborn. Pottery Barn Kids is now offering gliders, rockers and ottomans slip-covered in Hable Construction fabric. Choose from kelly green or espresso beads, black and white boxes (think Jonathan Adler), pink poppies, brown with pink dots and many others. With Hable’s clean graphics these chairs aren’t in danger of looking too “shabby chic” and if baby spits up… no worries because the slipcovers are removable. These rockers will complement your nursery’s fab design without compromising comfort. (And should I remind you again about the three in the morning part?)

Woodie, Couldie, Shouldie Old School Rocker

Sarah Verdone — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:24:00 GMT

Is anyone else old enough to remember Woodies? That wooden paneling made cars look so smokin'. When I saw Charm Company's rocker at last month's Toy Fair, I could practically feel my legs sticking to the back seat upholstery again. All that nostalgia will cost you though - $299.99. C'mon, Harriet, let's go buy some groceries - VROOM!

CES 2008: Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker

Chris Ford — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:29:00 GMT

Guitar Hero, aside from kind of being a cultural phenomenon, is a pretty fun game to play. The Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker isn't a video game, but a fun little gadget that plays a song based on how you "play" air guitar.

The way it works is you put on a belt buckle that plugs into a small speaker box you clip to your pocket. The buckle has a sensor that detects when you wave a magnetic guitar pick in front of it, and plays the song as long as you keep waving the pick in front of it. It looked like kind of a fun toy, but it's definitely handicapped by the amount of songs it plays. It comes with ten songs, and according to the guy demoing it, five of them are licensed and five aren't (which is to say, five you'll recognize, and five you probably won't). It looks like you'll be able to add new songs via cartridges in the future, but I couldn't find out any information on that.

Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker will be $29.99 and will be available in the US on March 1st.

Re-Set Your Re-Babe

Mir — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:31:00 GMT

Who amongst us hasn't sat beside a bassinet or cradle, falling asleep ourselves, and yet rocking, rocking, rocking to try to settle the baby? Behold a slightly more comfortable solution: The re-set from Berlin designers collective e27! The re-set includes the re-babe (a rocking cradle) and the matching, attachable re-tire rocker. Bind them together and baby rocks while you do. When baby grows bigger, the cradle converts to a rocking horse for years of play.

The re-set will run you €540 (About $736) at Tiny Dodo.
