Brooke's Baby Bjorn







Celebrity Moms has a picture of Brooke Sheilds out with her baby daughter Grier this week in Brentwood. Brooke carried Grier in a Baby Bjorn carrier as the two took a walk together. The picture originally came from Life & Style Magazine.

Also, I've updated the links on this site today. I added a TON more, so be sure to check them out.



Apple wears Uggs







Gwenyth Paltrow left the organic Brittish grocery store Fresh and Wild (called Whole Foods over here in the USA) with her daughter Apple the other night. Apple wore a pair of brown Ugg boots and carried a small backpack full of crayola stuff. I guess she colored somewhere while her mom shopped?



What did Tori buy?







So exactly did Tori Spelling pick up for her little boy when she visited celeb favorite Intuition a few weeks ago? Remember? It was the shopping spree where she pushed the dog in the stroller.

Well, Intuition's staff had an inside look and here's what she got.

- One "Baby I'm The Man" Onesie

- One DJ Camo Baby Bag

- One pair of blue and silver Baby Metallic Track Shoes

- One blue Baby Hooded Cuddle Towel

- A copy of The New Parents' Book Of Firsts


Sounds like baby McDermott is going to be one fashionable little guy.

Kingston in a Bumbleride







Gwen Stefani and her family hit the shops in LA yesterday, with Kingston sporting a new stroller. Gwen pushed her pretty baby boy in a Bumbleride Queen B in Ruby print. He also had a Petunia Picklebottom blanket and a Bla Bla Knits toy in there with him too.

Just Jared has more photos.



Graco Quattro Tour Duo







The Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is Graco new double stroller for 2007. It has a Toddler Centric front with 2 position recline and an infant centric rear seat with 3 position recline. It supports two Snugrides or Safeseats. Cupholders for both mom and babies. And it fold using only one hand.

I love the modern look of it and the smaller size. For sale now at our online store.



New Techno XLR now available







The new Maclaren Techno XLR for 2007 is now for sale at Magic Beans. So far, this is the only one I've seen available. The only color they have in right now is Storm Grey, but the website says that Maclaren will be introducing other colors (including the pink one we showed you a few months ago) very soon.

Julia Roberts is pregnant!







Yes, Julia Roberts is pregnant again. Her rep has confirmed to people that she is expecting a third baby next summer. And while she was announcing this, her twins Phin and Hazel took a ride with their dad, Danny, on their Kettler Kettrik with a Tandem Double Insert. Get your own at Tiny Ride.

Victoria Beckham and Bluebell







I guess Ginger and Posh are friends again? Victoria Beckham held Geri Halliwell's daughter Bluebell as Geri ice skated with Victoria's sons this week in London. Baby Bluebell wears a Baby Dior fur snowsuit, like the one above. Geri is a big fan of Baby Dior it seems, as Bluebell was wearing their clothes last week at an outing to Harrods.

Mollygood and US have more pictures.



Kingston's Socks







A new picture of Gwen and Kingston, and this time Kingston is wearing cute Trumpette socks from their Jungle Critters Collection. Gwen must really like Trumpette's socks. Kingston seems to wear them all the time!

Also, our 2007 Gear Guide is up now so please have a look.

Christina sends more baby gifts!







If I ever have a baby in Hollywood, I want Christina Aguilera as a friend. Once again, she was very generous on the baby gifts. TMZ is reporting that the one and only Xtina gave P. Diddy's twins a boat lod of gifts from (you guessed it!) Petit Tresor.The singer sent Diddy's twin girls a basket from the store, which included two of every item and consisted of frog slippers, hand-embroidered clothing sets, musical teddy bears, pink cherry shoes, chenille pillows, mobiles, and leather diaper bags which retail for $340 each.

Diddy's girls were born on Dec 21st.



Gwen and Kingston shopping







JustNoDoubt has a few photos of Gwen Stefani and baby Kingston shopping at a children's store in Bel Air on Dec. 23rd. I'm not sure which store this is, as I can't recall any children's stores in Bel Air. My guess is it's a store in Beverly Hills, almost to Bel Air. If anyone knows which store it is, email me.



Coco in a Silver Cross Pram







Celebrity Babylon has pictures of Coco Arquette and her parents at Disneyland in California this past week. Coco seemed to be having a great time, riding Dumbo and Cinderella's Carousel. But after that, she was tired and mom Courteney pushed her around in her Silver Cross Micro V.2 stroller. Coco is getting so big!

Stroller available at Tiny Ride.

Graco's new SnugGlider







New for 2007, is the Graco SnugGlider. It's a portable swing that you attach your Graco Snugride or Infant Safeseat to and it safely swings the seat back and forth. It's suppose to be for babies who cry when removed from their infant seat after a car ride or who fall asleep in the car. This allows them to be swung without having to leave the infant carrier. The swing frame features variable swing speeds, 2 speed vibration, music and nature sounds.



The Beckhams







Just Jared has several photos of the Beckhams shopping for Christmas on their site. Victoria, David, and baby Cruz (almost 2) were spotted leaving the Cuban restaurant in Covent Garden in Central London on December 25 together. Cruz drinks from an Avent Bottle.



More Denise







Denise Richards, it appears, also shops at Gymboree. As you may recall, we posted earlier this week that Charlie Sheen was seen checking out the sale rack at Gymboree. I guess the girls like their clothes.

This pciture was taken on December 21, at a park in Beverly Hills. Denise took her daughters there after a shopping trip. In Case You Didn't Know has more pictures.



Sam wears Juicy







Sam and Denise hit the stores in Calabasas, Calif. on Sunday according to People Magazine. Denise bought a box of Opus One wine and Sam showed off her style by wearing a Juicy Couture shirt for kids. Juicy can be bought at Fred Segal's kids store, Lifesize.



Look who else stopped by FAO Schwarz






While visiting New York City for The Good Shepherd premiere, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stopped by FAO Schwarz with their kids, minus Baby Shiloh. Zahara checked out what appears to be an Elmo doll, while Maddox looked at a dinosaur picture book. I wonder if they ran into Wilmer while they were there?



Wilmer dances at FAO Schwarz







Wilmer Valderrama sure knows how to celebrate Christmas in style. The actor stopped by the famous FAO Schwarz toy store on 5th Ave. in New York City on December 21st to pick up some toys for a few special friends. While there, he gave the giant piano on level 2 a try and was joined by some FAO characters/employees. Why can't he stop by when I'm on town? I always go to FAO Schwarz in NYC!

The Limited Edition Bespoke models of the Silver Cross Pram's Balmoral Carriage are being sold online now. Santa Barbara store Mon Petit Bijou has the blue and white model, the pink and white model, and black and cream model for sale on their web store.

Heidi Klum likes Silver Cross Pram!







Heidi Klum was seen in Aspen this week, pushing baby Johan in a Silver Cross Classic Sleepover Pram in Apollo fabric. Heidi was joined by her mother, husband Seal, and two other children, Leni and Henry. As you can probably tell, she isn't wearing any makeup and still looks beautiful! Some people are so lucky!

More pics at ONTD.



Merry Christmas!




Merry Chirstmas to all of our loyal readers! Lots of sales still going today and this week, so check out our left sidebar. I'll still be posting news today and tomorrow as well.

Monte Design







I cam across this new modern furniture company, Monte Design, in the new issue of Pregnancy Magazine. Their furniture, especially the above bassinet, is so pretty! I love the look of it. Their rockers and gliders are especially nice too.

Monte Design was founded on the belief that a parent should never have to sacrifice form for function. Ralph and Michelle Montemurro created the company so parents would have baby products that offer beautiful and simple designs that don't clash with their own style. You can view their entire collection online and email them for store locations.

Denise Richards and Angelina Jolie at Kitson







While Charlie Sheen was busy at Gymboree, Denise Richards stopped by Kitson with their girls to pick up some baby clothes. While there she bought some Little Miss Hoodies and Tees, and some South Beach Barbie and Bond Girl Tees for Sam and Lola.

Also shopping at Kitson that day was Angelina Jolie. Celebrity Babylon has a whole bunch of pictures of both ladies shopping.



Violet's Shoes







Does little Violet Affleck wear the same shoes every day? If not, it has to be every other day.

This photo comes from Life & Style Magazine, and it's Violet with her famous parents at a Starbucks in Brentwood, CA on December 16th. Violet has on her favorite pair of Robeez in Classic Brown.

4moms







4moms is a great new company that I had the honor of accidentally running into at the ABC Kids Expo back in September. They sent me their newsest product, the Digital Bath Spout Cover (pictured above). It's a very soft, cushy foam bath spout that is mildew resistant and allows you to see the actual temperature of the water as it comes through the faucet. If the screen flashes green, the temperature is just right for the average child. Blue is too cold, and red is too hot. No more guessing the temperature or having to stick your hand in and getting all wet.

Also look for their really cool baby bath tub and digital sink and shower themmometers, which will all be in stores soon.



Julianne Moore and daughter dress in style







Julianne Moore & her daughter Liv Helen showed off their mommy and daughter matching styles, as both sported looks from J. Crew. As you may know, J. Crew starting making their kid's line Crew Cuts last year. Little Liv is quite the spokesperson for them, since she's dressed in Crew Cuts' winter line from head-to-toe.



Charlie Sheen at Gymboree







Actor Charlie Sheen checked out the sale rack at Gymboree this week, shopping for little girl's clothing. Obviously he had his two daughters Sam, 2 1/2, and Lola, 18 months, in mind. Gymboree is currently having a very nice sale that you can check out too, either online or in store. Up to 40% off.



Bluebell wears Baby Dior







The London newspaper The Sun has a picture of Geri Hallwell's daughter Bluebell, shopping with her in London on Wednesday. The story makes fun of Geri's spending on her daughter (who is dressed in Baby Dior's Daisy line, pictured above) and disses her fur coat (also Baby Dior). You can buy some of Baby Dior's Dasiy line for your own baby at Babye.



Tori Spelling baby shopping






Tori Spelling hit the stores on Monday with her husband and pet dog, Mimi La Rue. They went baby shopping at LA's Kitson boutique. Kitson is extremely popular with the stars and their kid's section is very unique. Tori pushed Mimi in a dog stroller, perhaps practicing for her baby.

Splash News has a photo of Tori in the baby section.

Kingston at a party







Gwen Stefani, her husband Gavin Rossdale, and their son Kingston attended a birthday party together this week and Kingston was once again wrapped in his Petunia Picklebottom blanket in Sunset Dragon Roll fabric. There are two more pictures of the family at ONTD. In one picture, Gwen carries Kingston's Baby Gap white bear coat.



Katie shops for Suri







Katie Holmes shoped at the Marc Jacobs store in LA last Sunday (which also happened to be her 28th birthday). Katie picked up this cute dress/top (not sure what that is) for Suri. Marc Jacobs ventured into the baby clothing world earlier this year with a cashmere infant line and a regular clothing line for toddlers. It's called Little Marc, and you can view it on their website.

Graco Touch-Free Diaper Pail






A new item from Graco that will be out shortly is their new diaper pail. How is it different from all the others? Well, for starters you don't have to touch. Just wave your hand in front of its sensor and it opens automatically. And you know what that means. No more accidentally sticking your fingers in poo when you go to throw away another one. Nice, Graco.

And there is more. Much like the Diaper Champ, you can use regular garbage bags. No buying special refils. Look for it next month.



Lots of new stuff at Giggle!







Giggle's online store has in a ton of new stuff including the Like-A-Bike Mountain, pictured above. The new Like-A-Bike is an upgrade from the original, with a more all-terrain feeling to it. They also have in Dwell's new 2007 bedding line and a few new items from Nurseryworks.

As you can see from our Up-To-Date Sales section, Giggle is still running a deal with Cookie Magazine where you get a free, one year subscription for purchasing more than $100 at Giggle.



Barron Trump is baptized








Little Barron Trump was baptized on Friday, December 8th, in Palm Beach, Fl. The baptism took place at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea as part of the noon service. This is the same church were Barron's parents Donald and Melania were married back in 2002. Little Barron looks so cute in his Christening outfit. I have no idea what scary-looking object he has in his mouth though.

In attendance for the ceremony were Melania's parents and her sister, as well as Donald's three grown kids and pregnant daughter-in-law.



Barney's and a Safe Seat?






Did every celebrity visit Barney's this past week?

Drew Barrymore was seen exiting from Barney's last weekend with a friend and her baby. The baby was being carried out in a Graco Safe Seat in Roxy fabric. I can't believe she didn't attach it to a stroller or anything. The Safe Seat is pretty heavy, considering all it's got inside of it. I'd hate to have to lug it around. Especially a store like Barney's where everything is so close together.



Terri Hatcher's daughter's style






Terri Hatcher and her very stylish daughter, Emerson, were spotted walking their dogs yesterday in Studio City, CA. Emerson is proving to be just as fashion-conscious as her mom and was seen wwearing a Juicy Couture set from Juicy's kid's line of clothing. You can buy Juicy Kids at the trendy Fred Segal boutique.

Famous Kids







German tv station RTL has a special section up on their website featuring celebrity kids and their lifestyles. They have a lot of really cool pictures that I have never seen before. It's a rather long slide show and be aware that the articles are written completly in German. Also, look out for the pop-ups!



Violet wears Amber Hagen







Just Jared has photos of Ben, Jen, and baby Violet at Barneys in Beverly Hills yesterday. Violet wears an Amber Hagen coat, sold as part of a set with a matching blanket. You can pick up the set for yourself at Jen Klair Kids.

Claudia Schiffer's Stroller






Claudia Schiffer was spotted in Notting Hill this week, pushing her two children Casper and Clementine. Her giant double stroller is an Urban Detour Alpine Twin 3-Wheeler Pushchair in red. It's sold in Europe only and is available online at Mothercare and in Mothercare stores.



Heidi Klum likes Childish






Right before she gave birth, Heidi Klum was spotted with her two children Leni and Henry, both of whom were wearing tie-dye thermals from Childish Clothing. Childish is a maternity and baby clothing company that is popular with celebs like Courteney Cox, Tori Spelling, and Reese Witherspoon. Sadly, Childish is sold out of the shirts Leni and Henry are wearing, as they were part of the summer line. But they still have a whole ton of great stuff for sale on their website.

New Combi now available







Online store Bare Babies now has in much of the 2007 Combi line, including their new stroller, the Torino DX.

Bare Babies also has in a few new 2007 Peg Peregos, and they are getting the entire new collection in very soon, so check back for updates.



Kingston's Car Seat!







Yes, more Gwen Stefani and her little guy.

Gwen was seen leaving the Ivy in LA yesterday after dining with some friends. She and Kingston got her their car and we were treated to a glimpse of his Graco Safe Seat in Central Park fabric. You can buy one yourself at Buy Buy Baby or any other outlets were Graco is sold. Pictures came from Just No Doubt.

Rather cool-looking Bugaboo






Yet another cool piece of baby gear owned by Gwen Stefani. Have you ever seen a Bugaboo in those colors? It appears to be black and white stripped with some sort of Louis Vuitton symbols at the bottom. Does Louis Vuitton make a special Bugaboo cover now?! If so, I MUST know. If anyone has seen this type of Bugaboo cover before, drop me an email.

More Gwen, Gavin, and Kingston pics at ONTD.



Vanessa Minnillo buys baby stuff? Huh?






Is she pregnant or just going to a shower? You be the judge.

Website TMZ.com reported today that Vanessa Minnillo was seen on Tuesday at baby store Petit Tresor in LA, where she spent a total of $600 on baby stuff. Vanessa came in without Nick and picked up a chenille baby basket for $189, a pair of adorable dinosaur slippers for $32, a frog plush toy for $38 and a blue Ultrasuede blanket for $269. Vanessa took all the gifts with her and had none of them wrapped.

Sofia Coppola pushed her new baby girl Romy around Paris last week in a 2007 Peg Perego Pliko P3. You can see more pictures of Sofia and her baby with dad Francis at ONTD.

The new 2007 Peg Perego collection has just started arriving in stores, but don't except to find Sofia's actual stroller here in the USA. The Mezzanotte fabric she has is only available in Europe. But some good news: Peg Perego USA now has the entire new 2007 collection available online to view.



Boppy's New Bouncer







Ever since Kids II bought Boppy, they have moved full speed ahead with the new products. Now we have the Boppy Cradle in Comfort Bouncer, currently available on Amazon.com and soon to be available where ever Kids II is sold. The new bouncer looks a bit like the Fisher-Price Papasan but with a a removable toy bar instead of the mobile. However, this bouncer grows with the baby. It has a unique 2-stage, grow-with-me design that allows adjustment for newborns and infants. The seat reclines for a new baby and then adjusts to bouncing position as the child grows older.

The faux-suede padded cover is removable, as is the head support. It vibrates, has 5 gentle melodies, and 3 soothing sounds complete with volume control.

But Kids II isn't finished just yet. Amazon also just got in a new product called the Kids II SWADDLE BOPPY. There isn't a picture or description available on the site yet, buy I'll keep you posted.
