I first discovered the Taga pram back in December 2008 and have been following it closely ever since. I love the idea of a pram that converts into a bicycle and back again – very ‘Jetsons’, if you ask me.
Balance bikes have become a huge hit all over the world but here’s one with an edge. A British pop-meets-mod edge to be precise and it doesn’t matter if you prefer the Beatles or the Spice Girls, your tot is going to love this set of wheels!
The wind is in my hair, the sun glints off the water and the kids are rosy cheeked and laughing, enjoying the brisk autumn air as we cycle to kindergarten. Actually, that’s the ‘hip mother living by a canal in the heart of Amsterdam’ version of my life which is not entirely accurate.

When I was little, summer twilight hours were spent cruising the street on our bikes with other kids from the neighbourhood. And nothing said more about you than your bike accessories – a basket with plastic flowers, handlebar streamers, Spokey-Dokes, or a cool seat like the fancy orange glitter and white vinyl trim on my … [Read more.]

It’s about time! Finally here are some ultra-groovy, super-cool skate and bike helmets for toddlers and kids, with designs that even I would wear. I’ve often cringed at the offerings in helmets and even though they’re essential for safety, it never hurts to look funky when out and about on bikes and skates.
Living in a small city apartment, I can’t rave enough about multifaceted products that don’t take up too much room such as the Wishbone bike.
After the initial outlay of $295 (which can seem like a lot when you’re purchasing for a one year old), you’ve got a bike which evolves with your child’s stages … [Read more.]
Brio keeps churning out the classics and it’s two latest releases are no
different!
My baby boy is such a fan of walkers right now, but
safety is an issue as he’s not yet able to steady himself and stop the
walker from rolling away. Brio’s new
Walk On
walker has an adjustable brake
that can prevent those accidents when baby … [Read more.]
