With the holidays coming up , I've been on the hunt for beautiful high chairs that will actually look nice at the dining room table -- unlike the sweet potato-crusted plastic monstrosity I'm currently using. Let's just say it won't be wi…

Now that I've had three kids, I'm a big believer in only spending money on baby gear that's really worth it . That spendy bottle warmer you'll use for oh, 3 months? Skip it. But a highchair that will literally last until your kids are in…
I had three kids in four years and learned very quickly how fast kids outgrow their gear. That's why I love companies like Oribel, smart engineers who are creating modern, multi-stage products that are meant to last throughout several de…
I've had my eye on Micuna, a popular, gorgeous line of eco-friendly, modern baby furniture made in Spain, for a while now. But shipping from Europe is kind of a nonstarter. Well, now parents of new babies -- at least who happen to have a…
Having a new baby is exciting and fun and...crazy expensive. We've all been there, it can be hard figuring out whether you splurge on the crib, or get a cheaper crib and spend more on all those cute clothes and room decor accessories and…
As you might imagine, we see a lot of baby gear 'round these parts (yes, I'm still a southern girl at heart) and that includes all kinds of booster seats. But the new Mamas & Papas Baby Bud booster is worth a look for several reasons, no…

You know what's always a major disappointment? When an amazing company like Phil & Ted's releases a great new baby item after my babies are already too grown up to need it. And now they've gone and created a high chair that almost makes …
Until now, I'd never realized that a highchair could be a style statement. I've always steered toward simplicity when it comes to kids' furniture , but the dazzling new highchair from Bloom has me positively wowed. The Fresco Chrome Spec…
High chairs can really be the bane of style aficionados everywhere. Cumbersome, big, and frankly....ugly. Is it too much to ask for a high chair that looks cool, functions well--oh, and doesn't cost $500? [ don't miss a great high chair …
Other than wearing hearts on their clothing and looking at us with love in their eyes, our babies are still a little young to be celebrating Valentine's Day with lollipops or big messy chocolate hearts. But since we love red all the time…
Surely I'm not the only one who's often grossed-out by restaurant high chairs? They're handy, yes, but they're usually filled with the remains of some other kid's meal. This is just why the new Phil & Ted's Lobster seat comes in very han…
The last thing that the world may be waiting for is another stroller brand. And yet Mamas & Papas is not new to the world--just to the US. As of, oh, about right now. And I actually was waiting for it. For real. After nearly 20 years, Br…
One of the greatest joys of travel is not having to cook, do dishes or feel the slightest bit insulted when one of my kids pushes something off their plate. Yes, I do love eating out, though I know all too well what can happen when I arr…
When you discover a kids shop through the Wallpaper* Magazine Facebook Fan Page , it's a pretty good bet they're going to have taste up the wazoo. So when I clicked over to ella+elliot , yep. That's just what I found. This beautiful Toro…
Sure, dining involves more crayons than caviar for my family these days. But it seems like every restaurant's high chairs are missing straps, are wobbly, are sized for a preschool linebacker, and/or spackled with nasty goo. Besides, my b…
If the Fresco Fiamma was a car it would be a Lamborghini, all sleek and red and sexy. But since it's a limited edition baby high chair it feels weird to refer to it as sexy, so I'll just say super-awesome-cool. Bloom Baby , purveyors of …
Stokke's Tripp Trapp high chair is a classic that's been around for 37 years--in fact, my daughter recently sat in the one that I had used as a kid. How's that for longevity? The basic principle behind it remains as popular with parents …
We've always loved modern high chairs but they tend to be on the squint-your-eyes- as-you-hand-your-credit-card-over side of things. Even so, the cheap plastic versions aren't a very appealing alternative when you consider the damage to …
