Britney shops






Britney Spears went shopping as well yesterday. Dressed in a really bad outfit, the ex-singer went looking for stylish baby clothes at the Naked Baby Boutique in Studio City, California. Despite its name, it's actually a really cute little store that offers trendy, funky, unique and traditional clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.

While there, Brit checked out items from Lacoste for her boys. At least two members of her family will be decently dressed.

Flynet and X17 have more photos.



Marcia and twins








Marcia Cross also spent Saturday shopping. She and husband Tom Mahoney headed out with daughters Eden and Savannah to Santa Monica, shopping at Shabby Chic for some baby goods. That's where the bag in picture 3 is from.

Marcia carries one twin in a Baby Bjorn with a Baby Bella Maya Slipcover, as dad Tom does the exact same! Marcia's slipcover is a Couture Tangerine Dream and Tom's is a Couture Ocean Mist.

Both girls are wearing Trumpette baby socks. Marcia's twin has one pink Pixies, while Tom's has on purple Ballerina Socks.



The Baby Bunch wins 2008 JPMA Innovation Award






The Baby Bunch was one of about eight winners at this year's JPMA show (I'll be posting more on the other winners later). The baby gift company won the prize for their organic line of gift boxes, pictured above. So what's in it? The larger Baby Bunch includes a t-shirt, two onesies, hat, bib and two pairs of socks, while the smaller Baby Bunch contains a t-shirt, hat, bib and four pairs of socks. Both are packaged in the signature and distinctive Baby Bunch gift box, and wrapped like little bouquets of flowers.

They come in two sizes, 0-6 months and 6-12 months, and three colors: blue, pink, and yellow.

And of course, celebs love them. Angelina Jolie got one as a gift when Shiloh was born.



Apple and her blanket






Actress Gwyneth Paltrow took her daughter Apple Martin out shopping in LA yesterday, including a stop at Maxfield's on Melrose Ave. Apple stayed close by mom, all the while drinking a bottle and carrying a blue Little Giraffe blanket. Apple turns 3 next month.

Medela introduced it's newest Limited Edition Pump In Style Advanced Tote at JPMA this year. The bag, which is right now arriving in stores, will feature easier carrying handles, pockets on the sides for easier access, and a taupe and chocolate brown exterior with mulbery trim. Perfect for use as a year-round bag, instead of the seasonal bags Medela had been selling.



Svan's new bouncer






The Svan Bouncer will be getting a makeover soon. First, the fabric will be changing for better durability and to reduce the piling over time. This was a problem with the first models and it has no been phased out. Second, we're getting new colors. These are all shown above are. They are doing away with the pink and black this year and creating a pink and white one to look more girly. Black/red and green/white will also be added to the collection.



Tori drives and Orbit






Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott headed to an LA grocery store yesterday with baby Liam in tow. Liam rode in a mocha Orbit Baby stroller and carseat while mom pushed and dad walked beside them.

Jaime Pressley's Wild Nursery






Jaime Pressley gave US Weekly a look into her nursery this week. She chose a Safari themed room for her upcoming son Dezi James. Celebrity Moms has all the photos from the magazine if you'd like to see them. It's such a cute nursery!

Items inside the nursery include the Pottery Barn Kids Larkin Dresser and Sleigh Crib in espresso, a giant giraffe and elephant from FAO Schwartz, Pottery Barn Kids' Marin Table Lamp, and a pair of Baby Dino Robeez.



Baby Star makes a Cariboo







Bedding company Baby Star has created some new bassinet bags for the Cariboo bassinet. You can visit their website right now to see the current bags. Above are some pictures of the new stuff, set to hit stores this fall. The Tag/Pink is shown above, as is the Tag/Blue in a bag of it's own in the last picture. The Spring (yellow, brown, and green) bag is not shown.

The bags will be available for all styles of the Cariboo, including Classic, Folding, and Gentle Motions. Also look for matching accessories for the bassinet veils and the changing tables.



The Kate Spade Stroller - A Celeb Spotting






Actress Melissa Joan Hart stroller her young son Mason through New York City this week, alongside husband Mark Wilkerson. Little Mason rode in Kate Spade's Limited Edition Maclaren Quest (this is last year's version, the new one is navy). I really love all the special strollers Maclaren makes. My favorite is still the Lulu Guinness.

What's new at Britax - JPMA Report







Meet Britax's newest carseat, the Diplomat. It's a more compact version of the Boulevard, about the size of the Roundabout. It has True Side Impact Protection, just like the Boulevard, and features the same deep expanded polystyrene foam lined side walls and wings. It will hold children up to 40lbs and will be coming out this August. It will be available in four patterns, including the new Taylor pattern above.

Britax also has some new colors in the Couture line, featured below, as well as a new bright blue color for the Companion and the Vigour.

The new Couture line includes the pink Trellis, the red and tan Sunburst, the black and grey Retro, and the Mossy Oak.







The WashPOD






Prince Lionheart introduced a brand new product at JPMA called the WashPOD. It's a European-style bath tub that provides a safe and secure environment for the baby to bathe in, similar to the inside of a mother's womb. This is PL's first venture into the world of baby bath tubs, a world that is often filled with dislike and frustration by many parents. But I think this tub will do well, as most people who own similar European ones have sung their praises.

Buy it now at PL's website.



Right on Target






Have you ever strolled through the aisles at Target and seen an Orbit stroller? I haven't. But then again, I don't live anywhere near Heidi Klum. The model turned mom was once again at an L.A. Target, shopping with the family this week. Heiditook her mom Erna and her three kids Leni, Henry, and Johan along for the outing.



New Skip Hop Items - JPMA Report










These are all new items from Skip Hop that are expected out later this year. First we have the PlaySpot, an interlocking foam tile activity mat. The EVA foam is safe for children of all ages, not just 3 & up like most foam. It comes in bubblegum & chocolate (above), gold & blue, and brights.

Next we have a baby tray (no name was given for this new item that I could see) containing modern table pieces such as a baby cup, a bowl, and three snack cups. A little different from their more traditional animal table wear (seen below), which features a sippy cup, a bowl, and silverware.

Also we were introduced to the Diaper Details Bag, a gift item including an insulated Bottle Bag, Pacifier Pocket, Wipes Case, and Diaper Holder. All of these things comes packaged in a see-through laminated Zip Case.

The Bugaboo Bee - JPMA Report




I just got home from JPMA in Orlando and here are some of the first photographs you will ever see of the Bugaboo Bee in all its glory. I got to touch it, watch it fold, and the push the thing around the Bugaboo showroom. It's super lightweight! And it even holds a carseat (same ones as the other Bugaboos).

All the bases I saw were black with either red, blue, yellow, tan, or black hoods. It will have a few accessories such as the foot covers and the diaper bags shown below. And the new Bugaboo cup holder fits onto it.

Look for it this September in the USA (no word on when it will come out in Europe).










Another stroller for Heidi






Yes, I didn't think it was possible at first either. But it's true. Heidi Klum actually has yet another stroller. This time, it's a double. The model mom was seen pushing her children last weekend in a 2006 Peg Perego Tender in Newport. PP no longer makes this model, but my guess is that it was bought last year before Johan arrived.



Mira Sorvino wears Bebe au Lait






While on a family supermarket trip, Mira Sorvino was spotted wearing a Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover in Mayfair. Bebe au Lait is the Hollywood mommy's favorite new "accessory" that is both functional and fashionable, allowing moms to privately breastfeed comfortably in public.

Mira also wore a Baby Bjorn Original Carrier.

When was the last time your newborn ate?

Can't remember? Are you one of those new parents who help remembering baby care details like when your baby last ate or napped? Forget the hassle charts and trying to write it all down yourself. Get the new ITZBEEN Baby Care Timer.

ITZBEEN has four baby care timers that count up with the touch of a button. Each timer has a picture to remind you of what it's for. One for diaper changing, one for feeding, one for how long your baby has been asleep or wake, and one for medicine, exercise, and misc.

ITZBEEN also has a nursing reminder at the bottom, helping the mom to remember which side the baby nursed from last. It has a display light for nighttime. It even has a clip on the back for easy travel.
