Kourtney's Donkey finally appears

If you are looking for a birthday gift....

If you are looking for a fun and creative gift for a child under 3, you might want to check this out. 20 Questions is a birthday interview book, something fun to try when the baby book is finished. Every year on the child's birthday (starting at age 3 and ending at 18) you ask the same 20 questions listed within the pages of the book and fill in their answers. Questions include things like favorite color, food, what they want to be one day, etc. It's a great way to record memories and keep them for a lifetime.

I've always been a big fan of the Stefani/Rossdale family strollers. I think Gwen has had at least 20 between the two kids. Here is Zuma getting into a Chicco Echo stroller, sold in Europe.

Romeo Beckham, the 10-year-old son of David and Victoria, has ventured into the modeling industry. He is prominently featured in Burberry's upcoming Spring/Summer 2013 campaign. The recently released photos have made the boy an internet sensation overnight, with his name trending on Twitter for the past several days.

Own an Orbitbaby? Need to clean it? Well now you can with Orbitbaby's brand new Spa Kit. The $50 box comes with 4 bottles, each for a different part of the strollers. There's an upholstery wash, a wheel serum, a spot cleaner and a cream scrub, as well an included wash cloth. Right now it's back-ordered until January.

ToysRUs to stay open for 88 hours this weekend!

Yes, you read that right. Your local ToysRUs is staying open extra hours this weekend to help you finish your toy shopping. And we mean A LOT of extra hours. The stores will open at 6 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21 and remain open until 10 p.m. Dec. 24, Christmas Eve without closing. And if you're in NYC, visit the flagship store in Times Square, which has been open 24 hours since Dec 2! Another neat addition this holiday season is the "buy online, pick it up in store" feature. You can place your order online and pick it up at your local Toys"R"Us or Babies"R"Us store without a shipping fee.

Bugaboo Quality Initiative for Cameleons/Donkeys

This is NOT a recall. In response to customer reports, Bugaboo is proactively reaching out to provide a new and improved carry handle for the Bugaboo Cameleon and Bugaboo Donkey. Some customer reports have shown that the white button of the carry handle of these two models may pop out when the carrycot or seat is resting on the ground or on an unstable surface. It is important to note that the safety risk is low, and no injuries have been reported. To receive your new handle, you must register on Bugaboo's site. The Cameleon handle is ready now and will ship with two weeks of registration. The Donkey handle will not be available until the end of February. Bugaboo will follow up with Bugaboo Donkey owners when the new handle will become available.

The Maclaren Mark II

I saw this over at Pish Posh Baby, which plans to have the Mark II in stock this March. The stroller will be among the lightest ever made, weighing only 7 lbs. It can hold a child from 6 months to 55 lbs. It comes in 4 colors and will cost around $170.

Another celebrity Nuna spotting

Model Miranda Kerr was spotted with son Finn out and about in New York City this week, along with a very familiar stroller: The Nuna Pepp. Even though Nuna has only just arrived in the US, it is gaining popularity very quickly among celebrities. Kimberly Stewart and her daughter Delilah were spotted with one not too long ago.

Nap Nanny responds to CPSC complaint

We reported last month that Nap Nanny was closing its doors and now the reason behind it has been made more clear. The CPSC has filed a complaint against the company, seeking to stop all sales of the product. Nap Nanny responded to the complaint on their website yesterday, and I think it's something all parents with a Nap Nanny should read. Even if you don't have a Nap Nanny, it makes for an interesting read.

Bratt Decor featured in Twilight Breaking Dawn
