Bebe Confort Elea
31st August, 2010, 5.09am CESTThe new Elea stroller from Bebe Confort has one of the most unusual folds I have seen. It has two fold modes, the everyday fold and a further step that makes it more compact for travel or storage.
The comfortable well padded seat is reversible, with an easy adjust harness and the large wheels with high performance suspension assure a smooth ride.
The Elea can be used as a travel system with the Bebe Confort Creatis, the Streety Fix or the Maxi Cosi Pebble. You can also attach a Windoo Carry Cot for use with a newborn.
Available in Intense Red, Brown Earth, Total Black and Steel Grey (pictured). Available accessories include a parasol, change bag and footmuff

Maclaren Quest: Denim and Yellow Submarine
27th August, 2010, 1.33pm CESTSince 1967 Maclaren has been at the forefront of the world of lightweight buggies. The two new offerings from Maclaren maintain all of their standard high quality features, wrapping them up in fun and funky packages.
The Yellow Submarine Quest as you can imagine is inspired by the iconic band The Beatles. It will certainly turn heads with its blue denim fabric and signature sunshine yellow liner (which reverses to a psychedelic coordinating pattern). The liner and rain cover are sold with the stroller, and a cosy denim and fleece foot muff is sold as an accessory.
The second offering, due for release later in 2010, is a timeless all denim Quest, featuring high quality dark wash denim and the most adorable “jeans pocket” on the back of the hood. There is also a coordinating foot muff available separately.

The iCandy Pear has been reviewed!
16th August, 2010, 11.38pm CESTiCandy is a British family business that dates back to the early 1930s. The iCandy range was specifically developed for the parent who needs something special, something different, something that catches the eye.

Whether you are expecting twins or your second child, the iCandy Pear offers the ultimate flexibility all within the footprint of a standard single pram....

Phil & Teds sub4
15th August, 2010, 2.20pm CESTPhil&Teds vision was to give active parents the power and freedom to walk jog or run, and so the sub4 was born. They boast it is the world’s fastest jogger!
The seat is the same state of the art areocore as the Smart stroller, with high tech cushioning providing secure comfort for your little one.

The lightweight frame combined with a low centre of gravity aids speed and the dual brake system provides safety and control.

The smooth sleek and very space age design of the Sub4 will have everybody turning heads as you whirl past.

Phil & Teds Explorer
30th July, 2010, 3.21am CESTThe design team at Phil & Teds has been very busy tweaking all the little things that were just not quite right on their older inline models. The result is the Explorer which will be replacing the Sport.
The Explorer has a new sunhood with pop out visor for more sun protection and finally a sunvisor is available for the doubles kit. The brakes are now peddle style making them much more user friendly, and the recline is a multi recline system similar to the Dash model. The footplate is no longer fabric which will stop the problem of your toddler pushing down and stopping the front wheel, and you can now use the Explorer as a newborn/toddler travel system, mounting a car seat in the main seat and having your toddler in the doubles kit.
The really impressive change is the new fold mechanism. It’s a lift and pull one handed, single action fold that needs to be seen to be believed.
The Explorer will be available in 5 colours, Black and Red, Black and Grey, Navy and Grey, Black and Green and all Green. Have a chat to your local stockist for availability.
Sneak peak of the fabulous fold
Quinny Zapp Xtra
29th July, 2010, 3.50am CESTMore news from the world of Quinny. There will be two different Zapp models with reclines. The Quinny Zapp Recline will be available in the US market on their 4 wheel model and the Quinny Zapp Xtra will be available in the EU market on the 3 wheel version.
The Zapp Xtra has a separate seat unit that can be reclined and reversed! It is now a 2 piece fold, but is still a smaller then average unit when folded. I am sure for most the luxury of a lightweight face parent option will outweigh the convenience of a one piece fold, and lets face it the Zapp is hardly a one step fold anyway.
Even better news, if you already own a 3 wheel zapp there is no need for a full upgrade. The Zapp Xtra seat is able to retrofit!
Discuss the Quinny Zapp Xtra on the forum
Mothercare My Choice

Why not buy both chassis, keep the 4 wheel in your boot for shopping and use the 3 wheel for walking around your neighbourhood, the best of both worlds with the same comfy seat unit.

Baby Jogger City Micro spotted in Kentucky
09th May, 2009, 12.52am CESTSadly not by me, but by Sheri from Magic Beans who is attending the ABC Spring Educational Conference in Louiseville Kentucky. It appears the Micro part of the name refers to the price, and not the stroller's weight, since the Micro actually weighs more than the Mini. With a smaller canopy, smaller wheels and a lesser recline, the Micro will however cost just $159.99. It comes in both a single and double version and is due for release at the end of June 2009. Have a look at Sheri's video for a great sneak peak.
