2010 BabyPlanet Strollers {GIVEAWAY @ AAB}

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Our Grand Prize giveaway item at our July 18th All About Baby event here in Charlotte, NC is none other than a brand new BabyPlanet Sahara timi & leslie stroller!  It’s gorgeous, it’s compact, it’s going to be the talk of the town!  Before our event {BTW, we started a Facebook page for AAB too, check out all our amazing sponsors} and for those of you not local to us, we wanted to introduce you to all the new designs from the 2010 BabyPlanet Stroller collection; there’s 7 and they are all stunning!

Above is the Sahara timi & leslie I mentioned that we’re giving away on July 18th right in the Belly Elan shop for AAB.  I had the ultimate pleasure of receiving this giveaway item at my house to look over and put together for our winner.  Yes, I actually said that putting this stroller together was a “pleasure”.  I’ve had, I don’t know how many strollers over my 9 years of parenting and it’s always been pure torture putting plenty of them together.  This BabyPlanet stroller went together in minutes, the boys even helped, and it’s so easy to open and close…and of course looks so darn stylish and fresh!  Two fav features that stand out, for how compact the stroller is {which is NOT a bad thing, compact is good…bulky is bad}, the storage space underneath is awesome and LARGE.  AND, the beautiful stroller liner is reversible, that’s both unique and ever so convenient since kids are messy and have a fun habit of destroying stroller liners with stains and gum and leaky diapers and lollipops.  And sometimes, mommy or daddy just need a style change…simple flip the liner over and it’s like you have a whole new stroller!

There are 4 timi & leslie inspired BabyPlanet strollers including the Felicity above.  From the BabyPlanet website, here’s some brilliant features:

PVC-FREE Rain Cover
Reversible, washable seat pad
Lightweight aluminum frame
Ultra-Compact fold
Comfort-Padded 90% reclining seat
5 point harness with comfort covers
Peek-A-Boo canopy window
Adjustable leg support
Angled Ergo-Grip handles
7″ All Terrain wheels
Front wheel swivel locks
Auto fold lock
Oversized storage basket
1 month and up
Children up to 50lbs; 60lbs max weight
Recycling Program

The other new collection from BabyPlanet is the Endangered Species line like the Monarch Butterfly below {3 total in this line}.   “At Baby Planet we take our role of preserving and protecting the planet for future generations very seriously.  Although there are so many avenues through which conservation efforts can be championed, we have chosen to do our part through raising awareness of animals in peril around the world. With this in mind, we have developed the newest line of our signature Endangered Species strollers to focus on and draw attention to the plight of three animals which are threatened by extinction. Unfortunately, Monarch Butterflies are suffering the consequences of the destruction of their roosting grounds by logging operation, and the chemical destruction of the milkweed plant on which the female lays her eggs.” BabyPlanet makes an annual contribution to organizations fighting to preserve and protect endangered animals.  Feel good about your purchase with them.

In the market for a stylish stroller, look no further!  Want to check out the BabyPlanet Sahara, if you are in the Charlotte area, check out the details for All About Baby on July 18th and come for your chance to win!  Our thanks again goes out to the BabyPlanet team!

Before we get to the fun part…meet Zigo:

Think GREEN, but to a whole new level! An all-natural, healthy adventure everyday, away from the pollution of automobiles. My oldest rides a bike like a crazy man and I’m only able to join him on weekends when hubby is home to watch the little ones. This would solve that problem in a heartbeat! A brilliant way to exercise for me while getting the kids out of the house and into the fresh air! And it’s not just what you see above, keep looking, versatility is key with Zigo!

Ride alone, or with your kids {front or back}, or use in stroller or jogger mode {easily converted into any mode in 30 seconds or less, no wasting time}. All-in-one; no need to buy a new bike, a bike trailer, or a jogging stroller…Zigo Leader X2 has them all in one spectacular product {with so many additional features {and accessories available} as well, view them all here}! Think of the possibilities! A “ride” to the park could mean so much more for the entire family!  Anyone who is ready for a more active family lifestyle should look into this, cheaper than buying a “home gym system” for yourself, and that’s just for you…what about the kids? If you’ve ever seen how thrilled little ones are to ride in a bike trailer, you’d been sold already!

Here’s what founder Michael Ehrenreich has to say about the history the Zigo invention: “I was sitting on my front porch with my wife and then six-month old son one beautiful summer evening. My wife complained that her feet hurt after jogging with a jogging stroller. I said, “you need to cross-train.” She said, “I want a foot massage.” The rest is history. Over a period of more than three years and several designs, the Zigo LEADER took form. A fearless group of engineers, industrial designers, and now manufacturing and sales and marketing specialists were added to the growing Zigo family. We hope that you enjoy using your Zigo LEADER as much as we enjoyed building it.”

Tots On the Go

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Every parent should visit Tots On the Go before going on any type of trip or vacation.  Besides offering some of the newest nessesities and luxuries for families with children Tots On the Go also offers personal consultations to help every busy parent select the perfect travel accessory for their family!  I was sent two fabulous travel items for my family to use during our recent trip to Disneyland!  My kids and I loved both of them so much I purchased them so we would be able to use them on future vacations!

The picture above is of my youngest son Will who is 9 months old.  Tots On the Go sent him the Air Play {also pictured}to use on our vacation!  This is a great toy that slips over an airplane’s tray table very securely and is covered with toys on both sides.  There are peak-a-boo flaps with a mirror and another with a picture album where personal pictures of baby’s favorite people can be inserted!  There are also several Velcro toys and balls attached as well.  Will looks tired in the picture above but I promise you he had a fabulous time with his Air Play during our four hour flight.  I loved that everything was attached so I did not have to pick anything off the floor.

My two year old daughter fell in love with her Trunki as soon as she saw it.  While she had fun scooting on it around the house she LOVED being pulled on it through the airport!  Being a big girl of 2 {and almost 3} she thinks strollers are for babies but still gets tired of walking sometimes.  Her Trunki was a life saver for us.  Not only did it provide entertainment for her and an easy trip through the airport for us, it doubled as her carry on.  The Trunki fits perfectly under the seats on the plane and has room for all of the important items little gals and guys need to stay busy on long flights!

Tots On the Go is great for purchasing everything from Strollers and baby carriers to some of the great items I have outlined above.  Another great feature Tots On the Go offers is their rental program.  {Check their website to see if they offer rentals in your area please.} They will ship many items parents need to take care of baby and big kids to certain locations.  Mom and dad will  have the peace of mind that that each item will be clean, sanitized, safe and will arrive at your home or travel destination.  Choose individual items or go for one of their package deals!

Visit Tots On the Go to see all the products they have for families with an on the go lifestyle!  Happy Shopping!
