Introducing the Astro High Chair

The new Astro High Chair from Valco is genius in its simplicity. With a unique folding system, the Astro High Chair folds up easily and completely flat, so it's perfect for small spaces. The shape is modern and sophisticated and the price tag is a brilliant $150.

With a deep, comfortable leatherette seat (that really looks like leather) and an adjustable, removable tray, the Astro High Chair has everything you need. I, personally, have wanted an all white high chair that didn't cost a ton, so this chair is perfect! Available in graphite, ivory, chocolate and aqua.

Visit Valco here. Purchase the Astro High Chair here for $149.99 and free shipping.

Jessica Alba Baby Shower "Gifts"

If you haven't heard yet (and if you haven't, then you really should be reading FameCrawler more often), Tyra Banks just threw Jessica Alba a baby shower on her television show (because really, if there's one person who needs free kids stuff, it's the Fantastic Four's Invisible Girl). Apparently the Tyra Show got together with MomLogic.com and came up with a bunch of new products that every new Hollywood mom must have. After the jump I'll list them (along with some of my own snarky comments).

The Cariboo Classic Bassinet ($359.95) & Cariboo Activity Gym ($159.95). A beautiful, expensive bassinet that she'll use for about six months and then get rid of.

Cariboo Puretec Blankets $99.95 - $159.95. A baby blanket for $159.95 doesn't even deserve a comment.

Lillebaby Euro Tote ($119.95). Baby in a bag! We've been talking about these for a while on Droolicious.

Svan High Chair ($249.95). Even at that price, it's hard to make a snide comment about a beautiful high chair. Even though if you so much as cut a piece of pizza on it you'll dramatically reduce the resale value. OK. It wasn't that hard.

Svan Scooter ($119.95). For the right age group (i.e. not Jessica's impending infant) this is a really cool product.

Svan Bouncer ($119.95) For a hundred and twenty dollars it better take care of the midnight feeding too.

Yo My Booties Baby Booties ($50). If you can't put your infant in Uggs, super-furry baby shoes are probably the next best thing.

Yo My Booties Zebra and Cheetah Sweaters ($85). Expensive, but these look pretty cool.

Yo My Booties Pom Pom Hat ($50). Isn't a baby hat for $50 the definition of conspicuous?

Valco Baby TriMode All Terrain Stroller ($425) with Infant Bassinet ($150). No comment. I'm a Bugaboo man myself.

Lautrec Toulouse Diaper Bag ($236), Mommy Chic Diaper Bag ($395) & Femme Chic Diaper Bag ($360). Any one of these would be way too much money, but three? If you're worried about your kid crapping on it, it's time to get a new diaper bag. And if you don't care about your kid crapping on a $395 diaper bag? More power to you.

Lil Safari Girl Pre-Walker and Lil Dino Boy Pre-Walker Shoes ($34.95). A new Robeez ~~competitor~~? [Reader Laura correctly points out, Robeez is also owned by Stride Rite, having a virtual baby shoe monopoly. -mdd] I'll have to check them out.

Sleep Sheep, Sleep Sheep on the Go, Lavender Lab, Baby Sheep Rattle ($6 - $24). Finally. A baby toy.

Bel Bambini Gift Basket ($500) and Gift Certificate ($1000). Oh. I guess there wasn't enough free crap. Now she can go pick out some more herself.

So there it is. And the grand total of all the free swag Jessica Alba is getting? About $4,861.50 by my calculations.

Check out more about it at Mom Logic.com (including a clip of the show).
