Yezz conquered New York City

quinny_yezz US_2013_purplerushQuinny had an exciting day on Sunday as the new Quinny Yezz conquered New York City. 400 lucky Big Apple Moms lined the streets of Manhattan to receive a free Yezz stroller. Some Quinny fans braved the rain to line up as early as 2:00 a.m. at locations including Giggle, Albee Baby, the New York Family Baby Show and more!

The Yezz is Quinny’s latest breakthrough concept in design, style and materials. A culmination of extreme urban design, the Yezz uses innovative IXEF high performance composite material to create a highly durable yet very lightweight frame. The stroller switches from pushing to carrying and back again within seconds.

The Quinny Yezz features six interchangeable seats so parents can change the fashion easily. It is available in the following fashions: Blue Loop, Yellow Move, Blue Track, Grey Road, Red Signal and Purple Rush. For children from 6 months to 40lbs.

Features Include:

  • Approximately 11 lbs
  • Ultra compact quick fold
  • Stands when folded, includes adjustable carry strap
  • Frame is made of IXEF® material, a high performance injection molded composite fiber — allows for the stroller to be light weight and extremely durable
  • Interchangeable seats to allow parents to change the fashion
  • Available Accessories: WeatherShield
  • SRP $279; additional seats for $69

Bob Gear introduces its first four-wheel stroller the MOTION

Bob Gear introduces its first four-wheel stroller the MOTION

Wed, Sep 5, 2012 1:35:06 PMFollowing BOB’s 15-year focus on its signature “jogger” strollers, the MOTION’s lightweight aluminum frame represents the company’s most compact design and  complements the BOB joggers as a daily stroller.

Made for everyday freedom, the MOTION is designed for parents on-the-go.   From the first day of parenthood, the MOTION is ideal for active family outings, including trips to the park, as well as the mall or playgroups. Helping parents juggle the chaos that accompanies parenting, the MOTION features a one-hand, quick-fold with an automatic frame lock and a padded, adjustable handlebar for effortless maneuvering.

The new stroller includes the BRITAX Click & Go integrated adapter for convenient attachment to the BOB B-SAFE in matching BOB fashions or BRITAX Infant Car Seats. When coupled with the BRITAX infant car seat adapter frame (sold separately), the MOTION is compatible with a variety of infant car seats to seamlessly create a complete infant travel system.

Appropriate for children from birth up to 65 pounds, the MOTION offers a padded, supportive seat with an adjustable head-pad, a five-point harness system and an infinite seat-recline. Durable pneumatic tires mounted on high-impact polymer wheels and a rugged independent spring-suspension system absorbs bumps in the road. An extra-large canopy with a mesh ventilation window provides an added sense of security and convenience, while a big Low Boy cargo basket holds daily essentials.

Available now exclusively at  REI.com (MSRP: $349.99), the stroller is offered in black, orange and navy.

Nuna Leaf swings into the market

Nuna Leaf swings into the market

nuna-leaf-that-will-sway-your-baby-to-sleep-3The Nuna Leaf is pretty amazing when you think about it… No cords, no batteries, its kinetic energy.  While most products swing or bounce to put a baby to rest the nuna leaf’s unique motion is a sway.  Think of the sway like a leaf floating on the air (now you get the idea of where the name comes from).  The product that was announced in 2012 at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas is currently available in select stores now.  Interesting to note its only available at select baby retailers (think mom and pop owned) — you’ll never find it on amazon. You could find the leaf at J&R Jr. who usually offers free shipping and double rewards dollars.

The product out now comes in 3 different color patterns as shown here.

USA-leaf-colours-2776-xl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It supports up to 130 pounds… Thats not a typing error this item made for babies supports some full grown adults but really all typical kids age 7 and under. Why purchase a product they’ll grow out of in the first 3 months or in the first year.

67728b

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The insert is 100% organic cotton insert is soft to the touch and helps draft away the heat that babies produce.  The leaf can be locked into a single position for feeding times. Since it just 10 lbs its light enough to move from room to room or to be taken over to grandma’s house for an afternoon.

 

Over the course of the next year I’m going to be doing more video reviews — so I really hope you enjoy what will be the first of many.
