After a pinched nerve sidelined my beloved babywearing, I was stuck in mid-toddler crisis. But the stroller that saved me can save more than just moms of chunky two-year-olds. It can help moms slinging around newborns in buckets, moms wi…
So, let's say you have a thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket (humor me) and you need to get a new stroller. Are you going to want the same stroller that everyone else will be parking outside your Mommy and Me class? Or are you…
I opened the gate, and we smoothly rolled passed the oglers, the whisperers, and the merely curious. I wished I had remembered my sunglasses, because everyone was staring. Finally, one woman stepped forward from a small group and asked m…
When I found out Bugaboo had come out with an iPhone holder accessory my first thought was to roll my eyes. What, we can't stand the idea of being out of reach of our precious phones for the time it takes to fish it out of our jacket poc…
It's been a while since I saw a stroller that made me go oooh , or at least until this weekend when I got an in-person demo of the new-to-the US iCandy stroller . And oooh I did. The first thing you'll notice is that this popular British…
It's only mid-October and already the babies in my hood are being bundled under stroller blankets and sleep sacs and other bits of coziness to keep the chill out. After four winters doing this mom thing, I've learned that it makes sense …

I was initially introduced to the members-only sale site bTrendie as a beta tester and later as an advisory board member offering my opinions about the site itself as well as what products moms would want to buy. One of them is easily a …
It's turning into good cause day at Cool Mom Picks, which is just okey dokey by us. In this case, it's Bugaboo , whose Frog stroller saved this Brooklyn mama from three years of curbs, cobblestones, and car-eating potholes, and the noble…
I consider myself quite a connoisseur of strollers. Having lived in the city, in urban suburbia, and in the suburbs proper, I know that owning a variety of strollers can be as essential as owning a variety of handbags. My latest stroller…
I had forsaken double strollers because, let's face it, they are gigantic monstrous beasts that can hardly be tamed by one poor mother. The front-to-back strollers made me feel like I was pushing a huge shopping cart, and the side-by-sid…
I may be done having babies, but that doesn't mean I am done coveting the cool gear the new ones get, like the Micralite Toro Stroller . As the name implies, this fairly new little technological marvel is super-light, weighing in at just…
