The Babble Review: Mighty Buggy Hooks

Chris Ford — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Bugaboo (the stroller company) used to make something they called "bag hooks" so you could hang shopping bags to your stroller. But then I suppose some idiot must have loaded down the stroller with too much stuff and flipped the stroller, because a while ago they stopped making them. Mighty Buggy Hooks from Think King work just as well (if not a little better) than those original hooks - and you don't have to keep them attached to strollers.

I've had a set of the Buggy Hooks for a while now, and they've been working great on my Bugaboo. They stay on the stroller well and they are really lightweight. They should work on any type of stroller (not just a Bugaboo) and will fit all sizes of shopping bag and purse handles.

So if you're looking for a good way to attach your diaper bag, purse or shopping bag to your stroller, you should definitely check them out.

The Babble Review: Soft Buggy Cup from Think King

Honestly, what's more American than a cup holder? Some strollers come with cup holders, and others (like my un-American Bubagoo Frog) don't. The Soft Buggy Cup from Think King is a portable cup holder that you can use for much more than beverages in many more places than your stroller. But it works pretty well holding your drink while you're at the mall with the kids too. My full review is after the jump.

The Soft Buggy cup is made of a silver mesh that keeps it's form while still being soft enough to collapse into your bag or pocket. It attaches to whatever you are trying to put it on with a series of velcro straps. In fact I was successful in attaching it to a bunch of things without a problem. On my Bugaboo it worked very well as a cup holder for my daughter, but trying to attach it to the top of the handle while keeping it upright was more of a challenge. It worked better when I attached it a little farther down the handle, but it is the sort of thing that will work best with a capped drink in a bottle (like the picture on the web site).

The cool thing about it though is the other places you can attach it to. Wheelchairs, scooters, bicycles and bunk beds are just some of the suggestions Think King has (I particularly like the bunk-bed idea) but it's limited only by your imagination. If you can wrap a piece of velcro around something, then chances are you can stick a Buggy Cup to it too.

If you're looking to find a place for the kid in the top bunk to keep his water at night, or if you just want a place to keep that caramel macchiato handy, The Soft Buggy Cup is definitely worth checking out.
