{sneak peak} Going Gaga Over – Bugaboo Donkey

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Due to hit the market in 2011 the latest bugaboo – The Bugaboo Donkey is the first stroller on the market to be fully convertible to offer parents three possible configurations: mono, duo and twin. It offers the possibility of transforming a mono stroller to a duo configuration with the same comfort for all children. It is also the first stroller to be designed specifically to meet parents’ needs for flexible and multiple storage space, courtesy of an expandable side shopping basket and underseat basket.

All Bugaboo strollers are named after animals like the Bugaboo Bee and Bugaboo Cameleon. The characteristics of a donkey perfectly reflect Bugaboo’s new stroller as it’s well known for its ability to carry both luggage and people with ease. They are also known for being faithful, intelligent and eager to learn.
The Bugaboo Donkey will be available in spring 2011 in the Netherlands, the UK, USA and Spain. As yet there in no word as to when the Bugaboo Donkey will be available in Australia, but we will keep you posted.

The Bugaboo Donkey is the first stroller on the market to be fully convertible to offer parents three possible configurations: mono, duo and twin. In mono configuration the Bugaboo Donkey is 60 cm wide, which is the same width as the Bugaboo Cameleon. In duo configuration the Bugaboo Donkey is only 74 cm, which is the narrowest side by side duo stroller.

Going Gaga Over – Ubabub

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010


Who said one must compromise style for practicality? Natasha & Daniel Dumais certainly didn’t when they designed Australia’s newest nursery furniture brand Ubabub. Ticking all of the boxes stylish, practical, safe, durable, ecologically friendly and did I mention stylish? With a distinctly modern aesthetic, the carefully designed and constructed pieces not only add a streamlined modern edge to the nursery but also bring extra comfort and freedom to parents and babies. Both the Pod and Nifty grow with your child from a cot to toddler bed with the addition of a bed kit, which means you get a good 5 years use, and that’s just for one baby.

Ubabab is available for pre-order at Bebe, due in store later this month

The HiLo chair combines contempory design with simplicity and functionality.  From the safety harness and intentionally curved armrests to the raised plastic tray lip, crotch bar and ultra resistant nylon wheels, each added design feature is strategic, clever and understated.

 

The HiLo chair has taken both the  North American and European markets  by storm, and is now available in Australia through nought2five.com (want to one of the very few retailers of the fantastic HiLo chair? contact nough2five.com)
