I think having a baby would be so much easier if the getting from point A to point B wasn't such a pain the butt. In my family, we've tried pretty much all of the travel systems that are supposed to make life simpler; let's just say that…
Sometimes it can get boring pushing around the same old stroller year after year. I know you mamas know what I'm talking about. Now, if you've chosen your stroller wisely (which, as a CMP reader, you surely have), it's not going anywhere…
It's got to be said: I've never been a big fan of the in-line stroller concept. I was always worried that the poor kid in the bottom kind of gets the shaft, staring at the back of a seat for the whole ride. Much to my surprise however, a…
UPDATE: On 2/3/12 there was a CPSC recall of Bumbleride Indie strollers : model numbers I-107, I-110 and I-205 with a Date of Manufacture from 1/09 through 8/11.The front wheel can crack causing the stroller to tip. There have been no ma…
You know what I love most about my stroller? Having something to toss all my stuff in whenever I'm out. I'm not kidding. I really do depend on a stroller to be my pack mule . And now there's the simplest little invention that helps me do…
I've been a huge fan of my Maclaren Techno XT. It's a 2003. Sadly, it's reaching the end of its usable years and I'm in the market for a new stroller. It must be subway friendly, lightweight and comfortable. Before I just purchase anothe…
I do believe I have just discovered the umbrella stroller to end all umbrella strollers. All hail the Cybex Onyx. First, let me say, the Cybex Onyx is a high-end umbrella stroller. Which means it's not a $25, throw-in-the-trunk, departme…
Dear reader, I jumped for joy at the opportunity to test drive the hot-off-the-presses Bugaboo Donkey for you all. (Right. For you.) It is the most talked-about stroller I've ever seen, and I had been ogling it online ever since I first …

Any mom in a big city knows how hard it can be to navigate in-and-out shopping with a stroller. The stores and restaurants are small and crowded and the unsecured stroller parking zones don't provide a who lot of assurance. What's a mama…
We started Cool Mom Picks because we just had to share all of our amazing finds with someone besides each other. It's all about sharing-- deals, discounts, splurges, handy helpers , giveaways, and so much more. Our subscribers have an ex…
It's one of those rare faults of nature that moms don't sprout a few extra arms after they have a baby. Even simple walks get tricky when you have only two hands: you have to push a stroller, shoulder your purse, hang onto a shopping bag…
I've been a fan of the latest and greatest baby gear for a long time. But now I think I can say I've seen it all because I've just opened up a package of Buggy Socks . They are exactly as the name describes: Cotton socks. For your umbrel…
You're going to think I'm crazy, but believe me when I tell you that the Orbit Baby infant car seat has totally changed my life. It comes with the Orbit Baby Stroller Travel System G2 --which includes the amazing stroller frame, too-- an…
The Movement edition stroller, in case the name isn't clear enough, is all about getting moms moving and keeping babies comfortable, making it easier to be active with baby, no matter what the weather. (Because we all know how a wet, unc…

All the Bugaboo talk this week is about the new Bugaboo Donkey double stroller --that oddly-named, but coolly-designed single-to-double convertible stroller that our Editor-in-Chief Liz got a sneak peek at a few days ago at the US launch…
There's a running store on my block with a BOB stroller displayed in the window. Every time I pass it, I marvel at the lean, mean, baby-transporting machine. So when I had the opportunity to give their new 2011 Revolution SE a road test,…
Last year, we introduced a baby brand pronunciation guide for all those baby brands that you might not know how to say. Or really, those brands you only think you know how to say. Let's just say Robeez ? It doesn't rhyme with Brobee's. A…
When Maclaren invited me to their NYC showroom to get a sneak peek at what's in store for 2011, this was one preview I was not going to miss. From fun and flashy stroller shades to cool new buggy blankets, Maclaren has loads of goodies I…
My favorite new jeans have wheels on them. I'm talking about the new Maclaren Denim Quest stroller . As part of their Objects of Design series, the denim stroller is meant to be the coolest thing on wheels at the playground, but it's def…
If you mamas are owners of the Graco Quattro or MetroLite strollers that was bought before November 2007, check the serial numbers because they've been voluntarily recalled by Graco and the CPSC. The CPSC reports that babies can try to s…
I've only been waiting for this stroller for six years. Well, I guess only three, really, since that's when my second child came into the picture. And that's when I started wondering why Bugaboo didn't have a double stroller. Not an issu…
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…
