Another creative bumper solution







If you are not in the market for a crib bumper, there are some very creative solutions out there for you. A new one is Oliver B, a bedding company that offers a Slat Bumper instead of a traditional one. The Slat Bumpers work by placing each individual pad over every two consecutive crib slats and tying in a knot across the exposed vertial wooden or metal slats.

What you get is a beautiful display of ribbons that appear to be a bumper, but aren'. Plus they protect the baby from hitting the actual slats of the crib, as a traditional bumper would do.

The Mutsy Evo Stroller






Mutsy has a new stroller on the market and it's even available now in the US. The Evo is one of their most compact strollers yet, weighing in at only 27 lbs. Yet the seat basket is HUGE, the canopy stretches pretty far and you can use either a Graco or Maxi Cosi car seat with it. As you can see from the video above, it folds completely flat.

Britax launches G3 convertible car seat line





Britax is about to launch a new, updated line of car seats called G3. These convertibles will offer visible and clearly labeled safety and convenience features, along with new technologies such as the HUGS™ Chest Pads with SafeCell Technology and the EZ-Buckle System.

HUGS chest pads are affixed to the back of car seat shell to ensure that they are properly positioned on the buckled child. SafeCell padding on the chest pads, identified by their honeycomb design, are engineered to compress to manage energy and create resistance to the forward movement of a child in the event of a crash.

The EZ-Buckle System keeps the buckle in a convenient, easy-to-reach forward position, making boarding a child faster and simpler. Also new is better labeling to identify BRITAX’s Energy Absorbing Versa-Tether.

Along with these new features also comes a new car seat, the Pavilion (above), which accommodates a child up to 70lbs.

This is an interesting idea. Giuliana and Bill Rancic are having a shower for their upcoming baby in a few weeks, but haven't told the guests what sex the baby is. Instead, they registered for neutral gifts at Bel Bambini and plan to reveal the sex of the baby at the shower.

E! already threw Giuliana a surprise baby shower in her office a few weeks ago that was gender neutral.
