• Vintage Tin Picnic Basket: Classic nursery rhyme illustrations cover this tin basket. We love these vintage metal baskets for storage.
• Baby Bjorn Cover: Baby Bjorns may be great, but they ain't pretty. Now then can be. Adorable baby not included...we think.
• Stroller Cup Holder: A clever way to keep from dropping one's lowfat venti mocha while pushing the stroller.
• Stokke Tripp Trapp: this instant classic needs no description. Love it in the blue, and if you are bidding, be sure to check out the shipping costs first, which the seller is upfront about.
I hate to be a "debbie downer", but you really shouldn't put hot drinks in those stroller drink holders... one bump and you can splash kiddie with the hot stuff!
ps. "yikes" on the shipping cost for the tripp trapp! and the Bjorn covers... very clevah!!

I, too, hate to be a Debbie Downer, but everything I have read about Baby Bjorns has said they are not very good carriers because of what they do to a baby's developing hips. They make baby hang from her crotch rather than her butt, and her legs dangle. Babes need their hips and knees at right angles when they're in a carrier in order to promote healthy joint development, and newborns should be in the Lotus position. Also, when a small baby is made to face out in the bjorn, she can't turn her head away when she becomes too overstimulated. :[

ditto (tritto?) about the bjorn. There are TONS of carriers out there that are very user-friendly that are so much more comfortable for baby -- and parent!

The trip trap may seem cute and stylish but it's an uncomfortable, dangerous, poorly designed waste of money. we bought it because friends recommended it and we liked the fact that it "grows with your child" . it does not have any safety mechanism in case of choking, which is frightening since it's quite difficult to get your baby in and out at the best of times. and, the padded cover you can buy for it can't be removed to be washed without dismantling the chair! a nightmare. in the end we sold it at a huge loss and graduated to a proper chair - a fisher price "classic" from toysrus! much more practical. teaches us from trying to be yuppies.!! as for slings, have tried several and found karime to be the best for us by far.

Lou: Definitely the MobyWrap above all. I get mine from http://www.thegoodmama.com. She has free shipping on her MobyWraps and her customer service is superb.
I also like Mei Tai carriers for back carries, and I dream of a custom BabyHawk for my next baby!
