Get A Grip! Hold-On Handles Help Keep Little Ones Safe

Get A Grip! Hold-On Handles Help Keep Little Ones Safe

How many times have you been pushing a stroller, trying to open a door and holding onto your toddler, all the while thinking, "I sure wish I had another hand"? Well, here's a solution, and it won't require some sort of futuristic limb transplant, either.

Hold-On Handles from Greater Than One Kids is an innovative stroller accessory and walking rope that helps keep your child within arm's reach without restraining them. One end loops around a parent's wrist or through a belt loop while the child holds on to the whimsical, inviting handles. The result: your child is kept safe and learns to stay close without the use of restraining harnesses or “leashes" and allows children to be more active and independent while still giving parents an extra means of keeping their kids safely in their sights.

The patent-pending Hold-On Handles is the brainchild of Greater Than One Kids company founders Susanne Budofsky and Robyn Spritzer who know first hand the challenges that parents face - both are the parents of multiples.

These new plush Zany Zoo handles (pictured) join the Bizzy Bugs and Ocean Odyssey Hold-On Handles plastic handle collections. Zany Zoo handles are available as Single Handle Sets, which are packed with one plush cuddly handle for one child and a carabiner for $24.99. The Bizzy Bugs and Ocean Odyssey original collections are sold in sets for one and two children. Additional Spare Handles are sold separately. Double Handle Sets retail for $27.99, Single Handle Sets for $19.99, and Spare Handles for $9.99 each.

Hold-On Handles are available at buybuyBABY®, and independent retailers nationwide as well as Amazon.com, Diapers.com, and buybuybaby.com. Visit greaterthanonekids.com for a complete listing of retailers.

Jacadi’s Thanksgiving Collection Channels 1920s Paris

Jacadi’s Thanksgiving Collection Channels 1920s Paris

Thanksgiving outfits from French brand Jacadi? Mais oui!
The couture-like children’s label favored by celebrity moms including Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Rutherford, has pulled back the curtain on their dressy looks for fall. And oh la la – it’s love at first sight.

Taking inspiration from 1920s Paris, Jacadi designers combed historical fashion archives to achieve the perfect balance of vintage references and of-the-moment freshness. The result is an expertly crafted collection made from the finest fabrics and timeless patterns. From newborns to children up to 12 years old, a charming and romantic Thanksgiving ensemble awaits.

For girls this means dresses in polka dot taffeta, faux fur stoles and the perfect poplin blouse. Bows, rosettes and ribbon details conjure effortless elegance and classic French girl chic. The head-to-toe collection includes accessories, outerwear and a full line of European-made shoes. A polished pair of ballet flats or Mary Janes provides the finishing touch.

Boys are treated to perfectly tailored flannel trousers, oxford shirts and cashmere cardigans. A striped sateen tie and supple leather loafers? Check and check.
Updated knickers capture turn of the century trends, but this time in luxe materials like wool tweed or woven herringbone. Paired with handsome knit knee socks they’re a nostalgic alternative to traditional dress pants.

No matter how hectic modern life gets, the holidays remain a celebration of tradition and heritage. Investing in heirloom-quality pieces from Jacadi is just one more way to make and savor beautiful memories.

A Diaper Bag a Day Throughout the Month of May

A Diaper Bag a Day Throughout the Month of May

Mother’s Day is great and all, but one day of appreciation out of every 365 isn’t a whole heck of a lot. That’s why our friends at Pregnancy & Newborn are dedicating the entire month of May to celebrating motherhood.

In honor of diaper-changing, meal-making, laundry-washing mamas across the country, Pregnancy & Newborn is offering up a fabulous and functional diaper bag each and every day this month. (That’s right, even on Saturdays and Sundays, because we all know moms don’t take the weekends off.)

Your Nursing Lingerie Does Not Have to Be Drab With You! Lingerie

Your Nursing Lingerie Does Not Have to Be Drab With You! Lingerie

You! Lingerie brings beautiful high fashion, playful and luxurious breastfeeding lingerie to stylish moms at an affordable price. The mission of You! Lingerie is to make breastfeeding mommies and mommies-to-be feel confident and look beautiful every day, even with the “mommy” title.

This beautiful and very affordable lingerie brand offers bras and panties made with luxurious soft fabrics and playful colored laces featuring the decorative signature hot pink bows. Every bra is designed to provide maximum comfort with accommodating soft cups. With 20% spandex panels, four-hook back clasps, molded cups and wide elastic bands, the nursing bras are easy fitting and adjustable for the changing woman.

Owner of You! Lingerie, Uyo Okebie-Eichelberger, told us that during her market research, she was really surprised to discover that so many moms felt exactly like she did... stuck between a rock and hard place. "I was used to wearing beautiful and sexy lingerie before I became pregnant. I hated the idea of wearing just plain black functional nursing bras,” said Uyo. After becoming frustrated with the nursing industry and not wanting to settle for drab nursing bras or breaking the bank for expensive lingerie, Uyo took matters into her own hands and designed something perfectly in-between.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are beautiful experiences, so why wear unflattering lingerie or pay an exuberant amount for a high end one? The quality features and gorgeous colors distinguish You! Lingerie bras and panties from its drab counterparts. Even better, the lingerie is reasonably priced. All bras are between $29.99 and $34.99!
