Liam McDermott, Tori Spelling's 9-month-old with husband Dean McDermott, was seen out and about with his parents a few weeks ago near their San Diego home. Liam rides in an UPPAbaby G-LiTE Stroller in Jake fabric.



Marcia & TWO Orbits






Marcia Cross and husband Tom Mahoney headed to Mexico on Thursday with their twins, Eden & Savannah, to celebrate a family New Year's together. They posed for pictures at the airport in Mexico after arriving with TWO grey Orbit Baby Strollers. I guess if you can't get a double Orbit, seeing as they don't make them, you will need two.

Marcia's nanny also carries a Mia Bossi Maria Diaper Bag in Tangerine.

Orbit Toddler Seat coming soon to Magic Beans






The Orbit Toddler Car Seat will be released at the end of February, and Magic Beans will have it online then.

The Orbit Toddler Car Seat can be installed into a car rear facing or forward facing. In the rear-facing position, the seat can be installed with or without the Orbit Base, and the seat is designed to keep children rear-facing for as long as possible - from 20 - 35 lbs! Front-facing, the seat is installed using Braces (supportive pieces that connect on each side of the seat to ensure a secure installation) instead of the Orbit Base, and it can hold a child from 20 - 49 lbs, and up to 49″ tall.

It's got foam that is EPP foam, a higher grade, softer and more durable material than the standard EPS foam. There’s extensive side-impact protection and an adjustable head rest.

And best of all, it is fully compatible with the Orbit stroller system so you can actually hook your toddler car seat onto a stroller!

Singer Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale took their son Kingston to a London park yesterday in his not-custom-made Bugaboo Cameleon. As you may recall, Gwen had Bugaboo make her a special LAMB fabric Cameleon which is the one you usually see them with. This is their other ride, the common black and grey Cameleon.



J-Lo at Barney's






J-Lo was snapped while leaving the Barney's New York store on Madison Ave in NYC earlier today. The singer shopped for Christmas gifts, as well as baby items.



Jamie Lynn already getting gifts from Brit?






I should have just stayed off the computer the last few days. So much headache-inducing news. And here's some more! Ready....wait for it....

TMZ is reporting that Britney Spears just spent $500 on a gift basket for her newly pregnant unwed teen sister Jamie Lynn. Brit Brit got on the horn and called fabulous baby store, Petit Tresor, yesterday and ordered her sis a Tuni & G tank top with the words "Hot Mama 2 B" on it, along with a bunch of all white items including a blanket, a stuffed elephant with a white satin bow, onesies, socks and sneakers.

Let's just hope JL can find her own car seat, because that's not a gift she'll be getting from Big B.



Everyone loves Gap






Isabella Damon was spotted out with dad Matt and mom Luciana at Lax airport earlier today. She wore Target's Circo Lizzy suede boots in brown along with a pink sweater and cream pants from the Baby Gap, which were part of their fall line and are no longer available.

Britney buys toys

Advertising




I just wanted to take this opportunity to address some questions that I have been getting from stores/companies/product makers/etc. about advertising on this website. We have an Advertising FAQ over on the left-hand side, but I think I will post some of the information here as well.

First, we charge a one time fee of $250 for a lifetime listing on our links section. We do not link other sites free of charge, even if that site puts up our link in return. This website gets well over 1000 unique visitors a day, and this is also how I make my living so I do have to charge. It would also be unfair to our other advertisers for me not to.

Second, we do not take product or website submissions except from certain companies, most of whom are advertisers with this site. We do however offer one post with every 3 month blog ad purchase.

Hope that clears thigs up. Thank you.

Update on Crowe Mountain Buggy Urban






Russell Crowe's infamous black Mountain Buggy Urban stroller is a celebrity in its own right. The three-wheeled phenom has survived 3 years and two children, as well as the Crowe family's rugged lifestyle in Australia.

And we are happy to report this week that despite rumors of retirement, the stroller is still going strong and plans to remain on the road for the foreseeable future.

This picture of mom Danielle and sons Charlie and Tennyson was snapped only days ago as the family attended some kind of Christmas event in Sydney.

Snugride blocks a partying Nicky Hilton's escape






Nicky Hilton was caught by TMZ cameras leaving Los Angeles's Club Villa last night and hopping into a sliding door, soccer mom special. That's right! Girl was picked up by a minivan! And not only that, but a Graco Snugride in Metropolitan fabric was blocking her from entering.

The car seat had to be removed by the driver while Ms. Hilton was left at the mercy of the paparazzi. See the video here.



The m1 Baby Carrier






We recently got a new m1 Carrier from Lascal and I wanted to share some thoughts on it. The m1 has been out in Europe for quite some time and just this past year it made it to the USA. Lascal is a Swedish company, also known for it's Buggy Board that attaches to strollers so a toddler can ride too.

The fabric on this carrier rocks! Lascal uses a high tech ventilated Bamboo fabric that is both super soft and naturally anti-bacterial. GREAT idea for a baby carrier, since your infant will probably suck, lick, and chew on it a few times. It has a removable top cover that's easy to clean, and they also sell replacement top covers for when yours get a bit dirty.

Everything is adjustable. It has a three-way adjustable front piece creates a secure and perfect fit. The adjustable width creates a custom fit at all times, growing with the baby from 8-30lbs. Adjustable head support cradles the newborn’s head and later folds down when baby is ready to face forward. It can also be used a canopy for sun.

It also has a unique, built-in back support in the front piece that keeps the baby's developing spine straight at all times.

And it's so beautiful! Very modern looking, and it come in so many colors.

Boon's New Feeding Items






As we reported yesterday, Boon's new feeding items for 2008 are already available for purchase and they are short on nothing, especially coolness. I especially LOVe the above Squirt. There is nothing else like it on the market. It's a baby food dispensing spoon that holds up to 3 ounces of baby food in the top orange bulb and then allows you to squeeze the clear part to dispense the exact amount of food you want.

No more traveling with big bulky jars or looking for a place to pitch them when you're done. And it's great for people who make their own baby food and need some place to stick it. Also it's dishwasher-safe and it comes with a cap to keep the spoon clean. What a great idea!

And make sure you check out their other cool products including the new ModWare and Groovy feeding sets for the modern tot, the Snack Ball that is specially made to protect snacks from crushing, the Fluid no-spill toddler cup, and the Catch Bowl that helps control spills.
