As much as they want to take control and feed themselves, very young children have difficulty using spoons and forks because the bones and muscles in their hands and wrists are still developing. Which means they aren’t able to easily rotate and manipulate conventional utensils.

The Learn ‘n’ Turn allows you to adjust the angle of the spoon to help babies and toddlers feed themsleves easily. The spoon or fork attachment can rotate to various positions, creating the proper angle so food can be easily placed into his or her mouth. Eventually your child will be eating with the Learn ‘n’ Turn in the straight position, just like a conventional spoon!

If you were like anyone else yesterday, you were outside basking in the sunshine and the beautiful warmness of the day!  Mother Nature is taunting us bringing back another wicked cold day right after we had a blissful taste of spring.  Winter has taken its toll and wreaked havoc on my skin, hair and even mood. Yesterday .. I felt like the sun was shining inside me and I felt so happy. Today … well lets just say I hear the wind howling outside and I have this chill. My mind and heart is begging for some more of the sweetness that I had yesterday : )

Aside from your babies nursery furniture it is the next biggest purchase and to ensure that your money is well spent you want to make sure that your stroller has all of the features you need.

Being in retail and a parent myself, I can completely understand how frazzling this experience can be for first time parents. When customers come in to our store beginning their search for the “perfect” stroller I tend to probe them for information.  I want to make sure that I am going to direct them to the stroller that is a good fit and one that will make them happy.The following are a few things to think about when purchasing your stroller and will hopefully provide a bit of ease with this task.

Your Lifestyle … Are you active and like to get outdoors? Will you be getting out for lots of walks once your new baby arrives? Are you anticipating that you would like to take the baby on your nature walks? Rain, shine or even snow, do you want a stroller that will take you anywhere, over any terrain? Or are you more of an “urban city parent”? City sidewalks, shopping malls and light errands is more or less the general purpose for your stroller?  These are questions that I tend to ask our customers in order to find the type of stroller that would be better suited based on lifestyle.

For the active parent whose lifestyle tends to be spent for the most part outdoors, you may want to consider a stroller that is bit more rugged and can encompass more terrain.  Strollers with bigger wheels (at least 12″) and either air filled or EVA – Forever Air Tires tend to be in this category. These type of tires accompanied with shocks in the stroller unit provide a smoother ride for the baby. The stroller absorbs the bumps rather than your baby.  Most can adapt a car seat to its frame for every day use, and most have similar functions that the light weight strollers have (i.e. storage basket, recline seating, Swivel / Lock front wheel and an all around smooth ride for your little one.

If you are a runner and plan to do so with your baby, you would want a stroller with a wheel size of 16″ as this will provide you with the best stride.  Most jogging strollers are versatile in that they can be used for more than just a running stroller.  With the 16″ wheel size, you will definitely know no boundaries as these size of wheels will cover a lot of different terrains. Disadvantages with just solely having a jogging stroller are that they are heavier than most strollers, and tend to be bulkier making a simple trip to the mall or store, not so easy.

For the urban parent whose life entails city sidewalk and shopping mall terrain, you probably would not want to be pushing the bulkiness and size of the all terrain type stroller, but still want a stroller that will take you places.

Most single 4 wheel strollers are smaller  and more compact than a typical all terrain stroller making it easy to get your stroller in and out of your car.  Also, most 4 Wheel Strollers have a smaller wheel base  than  a 3-wheel all terrain model which tends to have a wider wheel base. The shorter wheel base allows easier maneurverbility and a shorter turning radius allowing for them to fit through the check-out at the supermarket or between aisles of crowded shops. These strollers tend to have a smooth ride and are a joy to push.

Travel Systems are strollers that come with a car seat that snaps into the stroller frame. These “Click and Go” systems are your Graco, and Peg Perego Strollers. You are no longer limited to these systems however, as nearly all strollers  today adapt to take a car seat. Gone are the days of having no choice but to purchase the clunky, heavy travel systems.  You now have options to have the stroller that fits your needs and will take you from birth right through.

There is a vast amount of strollers available today compared to the days when our mothers were babies and our Grandmothers had maybe one or two options. It really doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. Breaking it down and looking at the strollers functions and features and eliminating the “not so important” stuff, will help narrow down the options.

Of course you can always come into The Baby Boutique or call us for our help. We are always happy to answer your questions, and love to assist “parents to be” with choosing their stroller : )

The week is crazy … running the boutique leaves very little time in the week for family moments. Mark and I try our best to squeeze them in here and there throughout the week.  A quick trip to the park with the kids, a few minutes of imaginary play with our three year old, entertaining our little guy with toys and funny faces … all stolen moments as the day is filled with work, chores and responsibility.

Sunday is our day of the week to come together and enjoy one another. We minimize the stuff we “have to do” on Sunday and get out and enjoy the day .. do something special and memorable. Even Megan, our three year old, has come to recognize that Sunday is family day. I’m waiting for her pitter patter of feet as she explodes out of her room with a burst of energy and happiness pronouncing that it is “family day”.

Today is a beautiful sunny day and I am looking forward to filling my day with being with my family.

Enjoy your day and family!
