Jessica Alba’s The Honest Company Now Selling Exclusive Stroller

December 6, 2013

Jessica Alba can now add stroller designer to her very long list of achievements. The mom of two launched her eco-conscious company, The Honest Company, back in 2012 — offering non-toxic diapers and wipes, as well as cleaning and bath & body products for baby. Now, Alba has partnered with Baby Jogger to create a designer stroller that will be available exclusively through TheHonestCompany.com.

The award-winning City Mini GT ($369) is the ultimate stroller that blends safety, design, simplicity, and beauty with all-terrain capabilities and deluxe standard features in a chic compact package. The best part? You can pick up and fold the stroller with one hand — because really, who ever has two free?

“We put our Honest design twist on an beloved classic — light gray, ultra-durable and easy-to-wipe fabric, subtle stitching details, and a pop of teal accents streamline this ultra functional stroller without sacrificing style.”

Splurge-Worthy: 4Moms Origami Stroller

March 11, 2013

You might have heard all the buzz recently about the new $3000 Aston Martin stroller that hit the market. Sure, it’s got style and flare. But even if I had the money, I just don’t think I could bring myself to spend a small fortune on a stroller.

The 4Moms Origami Stroller ($849) on the other hand, is worth every penny in my book. It has everything a mom could ask for in a stroller. Literally. EVERYTHING.

POWER-FOLDING: Opens and closes itself at the touch of a button.
SELF-CHARGING: Generators in its rear wheels charge the Origami while you walk and can even charge your cell phone.
LCD DASHBOARD: Includes thermometer, speedometer, trip and lifetime odometers.
CELL PHONE CHARGER: Use the Origami to charge your cell phone while you walk with this optional accessory.
LOTS OF STORAGE: Strollers need to work in the real world, not just in the store. That means cup holders, storage pockets and a big removable storage bag.

Just watch the video below and you’ll see what I mean. But we warned, you’re going to want to run out and buy it this instant.

Rockin’ Baby Sling: Wear your Baby with Style!

February 21, 2010

Baby Slings are the trendiest and most convenient accessory for any new mom. It provides a nurturing environment for breastfeeding, baby is calmer and feels secure because of the closeness to you and it can be worn much longer than a traditional baby carrier (up to 40 lbs. vs 25 lbs.).

Reversible Baby Pouch by Rockin' Baby

But just because you’re now wearing a baby, doesn’t mean that you aren’t as chic as ever! Rockin’ Baby was launched in 2002 by 2 moms that wanted to wear their babies but didn’t want to sacrifice their style.

Rockin' Baby Sling : Reversible

Based in Los Angeles, California, all of the products sold by Rockin’ Baby are made locally. They are also pre-washed to set colors and all of their edges are overlocked then seamed twice to ensure no tearing. Best of all, they use low impact dyes for their prints and their material is 100% certified organic cotton.

Rockin' Baby Sling Adjustable Ring

Rockin’ Baby carries slings and pouches in a variety of colors and prints to ensure that everyone will find one that fits their style. And did we mention that the slings and pouches are reversible? They are made with a hip pattern on one side and a dad-friendly solid color on the other. Easily adjustable, both mom and dad can wear baby and still rock it!

But don’t just take our word for it! Parenting Magazine has called Rockin’ Baby “a must-have” and it was an Editor’s Pick in both Fit Pregnancy and Pregnancy Magazine. And celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Brooke Burke have been photographed wearing their Rockin’ Baby slings (more Press here).
