MomLisa’s Top Five Finds of 2007
Category: Children Meal Time Strollers Children's Fashion Children's Shoes Top FiveAll of us writers here at MomFinds have the enviable job of reviewing some of the coolest stuff around for moms, babies and kids. As any loyal reader already knows, there’s a lot of great stuff out there. It was hard to narrow it down to just my five picks for the best of 2007, but here it goes.
Uppababy Vista Stroller ($599): I will admit I’m somewhat of a stroller snob. But that doesn’t mean I can justify spending $1000 on a stroller. Uppababy’s Vista
isn’t cheap, but it’s totally worth it. It looks great, functions well, navigates urban and rugged terrain alike with ease. And, well, as any stroller snob will agree with, it’s totally great-looking.
Shoes from Vincent: Without question, my favorite kids shoes are made by Vincent. This line of high-quality and great-looking children’s shoes was launched by two Swedish designers. The brand was named for the eight-year-old nephew of the designers. Vincent shoes are fun, fashionable, but most importantly, they hold up under a ton of abuse from the young ones. I just have one request for the designers—when will Vincent start making shoes in my size?
Customized Shirts and Hoodies from Neighborhoodies: I absolutely love how designers have embraced the interactivity of the Web to develop really clever ways to “build your own” designs online. Whether you’re getting a custom hoodie made that features your neighborhood’s name, or making a cow that says “hoot” with their new “Petting Zoo” line, Neighborhoodies is my favorite of the custom sites online.
Playspot from Skip*Hop ($79): For too long, we parents had little choice for foam tiles but the alphabet tiles in garish primary colors. Leave it to the clever designers at Skip*Hop to design something that is truly versatile, functional, and downright stylish. You can configure the Playspot tiles to create a variety of different and color combinations. They cover a lot of ground, with a roomy and cushy 72x54 inches.
Flair Pedestal Highchair from Boon ($199): When it comes to well-designed children’s products, you can’t forget Boon. Whether they are coming up with a stylish way to store the stuffed animals that threaten to take over your home (the Animal Bags) or even helping potty train with the excellent design of their Potty Bench, everything they do is pretty much exceptional. But it is the Flair Pedestal Highchair that won my heart this gear. Beautifully designed, it doesn’t overwhelm your kitchen space and looks lovely, even when your little one isn’t sitting in it.
