Things To Consider When You Find Out You’re Expecting (Part II)

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

This week we continue our discussion about things to consider when you are expecting. Two important considerations are about getting out and about with your new arrival!

 *Strolling. What kind of stroller do you think will be the most functional for you and your family? Do you spend a great deal of time outside – walking in the park or trails? Or are you more likely to be using it in the mall? Will you be jogging with your baby? Do you need a stroller that can fold compactly to fit into a small car? Is it important for an infant car seat to fit into the stroller so that you can move a sleeping baby easily between stroller and car?

 *Driving. What kind of car seat best fits your lifestyle? Do you want to start with a convertible car seat that will take your baby from infant to toddler? Many people prefer an infant car seat that can be easily removed from the car and carried around or attached to a stroller. Is this something that you would prefer as well?  How important is the size of the car seat? Do you have other car seats or passengers who also need to fit in the back seat?

We hope this considerations have given you some direction. Please remember that our knowledgeable staff is always happy to help you select the products that best meet the needs of your growing family!

 *green tip*  Jogging and walking strollers make it easy to get out with your little one on all sorts of terrain. Why not try some active living? It’s good for you, baby and the environment!

What is your favourite stroller or car seat?

Winter Getaways

Monday, February 8th, 2010

If you happen to walk by our Fredericton store this week, you might think it was summer (and boy do we wish it was!!). Our front window and store are filled with wonderful products – many of them new, made for much warmer weather. Why? Because March Break is less than a month away and we are hoping you have an amazing warm weather holiday planned for you and your family.
We have super cute sun hats with big wide brims, Banz swimsuits (on sale!), life jackets, summer clothes, sandals, and hooded beach towels! I should probably mention the HUGE Melissa & Doug order that just arrived filled with the best and cutest summer toys we’ve seen! We have toys for digging, toys for building, toys for watering and toys for planting (we even have toys for cleaning up!).
If you are expecting slightly wetter weather for your March holidays or just preparing for a (hopefully!) early spring, we also now have our new Western Chief raingear in…. we have so much new stuff in our store you might not even recognize it!
Of course our Saint John location also has a full stock of all these products and is ready and waiting to help you despite their recent water damage from a mall flood. Excuse our mess while we make repairs, but as always, we are happy to help!
**This week’s Green Idea: Have you considered bamboo? Bamboo is a very sustainable resource; being earth’s fastest growing plant, it can grow up to 48 inches in a day! Bamboo is harvested and turned into one of our softest fabrics. It is lightweight, strong and wicks moisture away from the body (making it the perfect material for cloth diapers!). It even has antibacterial properties!
At Stylin’ Mama we carry, clothes, diapers, socks, bedding, face cloths, toys, games and reusable nursing pads all made from bamboo!
