Vannessa & Nick at Petit Tresor






According to sources, Vannessa Minillo walked into Petit Tresor earlier today with boyfriend Nick Lachey in tow. The couple picked up three organic baby blankets by Robbie Adrian, sparking rumors of a pregnancy. The blankets that she purchased were chocolate brown, eucalyptus and neutral.



The Phil and Ted’s Vibe Buggy






Here is the first look at the new Phil and Ted’s Vibe Buggy, due out in March/April. It's quite different than their current Sport Buggy as you can tell. It's made out of aluminum and is supposed to be 1 lbs lighter than the Sport Buggy and will fold with the toddler seat on in the rear or front position. And there is lots more padding on this one as well. I have not seen any pictures of the new Dash or Classic buggy, but they should be out around the same time.

Thanks to Let's Go Strolling.

Brooke Burke's Nursery







Look who has that carseat now!






In order to have a baby and be famous, you MUST have a Graco Snugride in Metropolitan. It seems like every single celebrity mother has been seen with one. And now there is another.

Julianna Margulies was spotted in NYC this week with her brand new son, Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal, and I think that's her mom. The baby rode (obviously) in a Graco Snugride in Metropolitan on a Bugaboo Cameleon base.

BPA Free - Who's got them






There has been a lot of talk recently about BPA - bisphenol-A - in baby bottles. Last year, Environment California released a report entitled “Toxic Baby Bottles” that got a lot of attention nationwide. Here is what they found.

When heated, five of the most popular brands of polycarbonate — the clear, shatterproof plastic used in baby bottles — leached bisphenol A at levels that have been found to cause harm in laboratory animals.

Even at low levels, bisphenol A has been linked to abnormalities in the mammary and prostate glands and the eggs of laboratory animals. Animal tests also show bisphenol A can speed up puberty and add to weight gain, and may cause changes that can lead to breast and prostate cancer. Other studies have shown that is may cause brain damage, abnormal organ development, and hyperactivity.

Obviously it's not something you want your baby sucking on. So a lot of companies have started making (and some always did) bottles that do not contain BPA. Here is the list:

Adiri
Boon's Fluid Cup
Born Free
Dr. Brown - Glass Bottles ONLY
Evenflo
Green To Grow
Foogo
Medela
Mother's Milkmate
Nuby
Think Baby

What Avril bought yesterday







Here is what sources tell us Avril Lavigne bought at Petit Tresor in West Hollywood the other day. This " I Know I'm Gorgeous" onesie from Huddy Buddy ($24) as well as these burp cloths from Booyah Baby (set of two for $24).



Look who else has that Juicy Coat!






Geri Halliwell and her daughter Bluebell left Crus Beckham's third birthday party yesterday together, and Bluebell was wearing a very familiar coat. It's the same Juicy Couture Hooded Faux Fur Jacket that both Suri Cruise and Zahara Jolie-Pitt own. She also wore Baby Gap's Daisy eyelet dress.



Buy a EuroTote, get some shoes!






We're all about special promotions this week, and right now if you buy a EuroTote from one of the following web stores:

www.totsonthego.com
www.lillebabystore.com
www.littlebabyshoes.com

They will receive this free pair of baby booties. Very cool!



The Peg Perego Skate




Here are some pictures of the new Peg Perego Skate Stroller, which is due to drop any day. We got one for a product review and here are some highlights about what we liked!







What We Liked:

- ALL the extras! The attachable diaper bag, the rain cover, the boot, the cup holder.
- The adjustable handle bar.
- The adjustable seat height. It goes right up to a table!
- It runs so smooth, turning corners like a breeze!
- It looks like really high quality material.
- The colors and patterns are cool.
- The bassinet, baby can sleep in it in whatever room mom is in.
- How the child can face you or the world.
- It is pretty easy to convert back and forth between the bassinet / cradle and the stroller.
- Lots of room underneath for bags, or the diaper bag.
- Unique look.
- Child likes riding in it and pushing it!

But my favorite part of all has the to be how it can also be used as a ighchair when you go out places, as you can see above. It goes right up to the table, which avoids putting your child in a dirty public highchair.

Do be warned that it does take a little while to put together, so make sure you have some time to do so. But if you run into any trouble though, Peg Perego has a wonderful and VERY friendly hotline you can call.



Happy Birthday to Eden and Savannah






Jewels & Pinstripes was on a role this week, creating yet another birthday gift bag. This time the celebutots were Marcia Cross's twin daughter, Eden and Savannah, who turned one yesterday!
