Air Travel: Lap vs. Child Seat 2008-08-17 08:17:34 So you’ve decided to take an airplane trip with your little one, but have chosen to skip out on buying them a ticket for their own seat. You think, he’s too small or I can hold onto her; nothing will happen. The FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, don’t currently require children under 2 to travel in [...] Read more:Travel
BBB: Babies Behind Bars 2008-08-16 08:01:40 It’s kind of funny when you think about it, infants in prison, but it is a real fact for many penitentiaries around the U.S. Mothers who were arrested while pregnant or have a young infant are sometimes allowed to have their babies live in the prison with them (is that really fair?). I [...] Read more:Babies
Snow White Heads to the Big House? 2008-08-15 14:44:32 A protest at Disneyland apparently got pretty heated as costume-clad employees marched for health care benefits and were subsequently arrested. I can see the point the protesters are trying to make by wearing Disney costumes, but I think that point gets muted by just how cute and slightly absurd they all look. [...] Read more:White

’s Beginning will be available for a limited time starting August 26th!
I watched the sneak peak, and it looks pretty good…not to give too much of the plot away, but apparently there is a ban on all music in the kingdom of Triton and Ariel is once again [...] Read more:Release

Kids Go Bananas for Hannah Montana 2008-08-12 13:06:07 I do not get the HannahMontana
trend at all, so I have been trying to avoid writing about it. Sadly, both Hannah Montana
and her alter ego Miley Cyrus seem to be here to stay for a while, especially now that kids can get their very own back-to-school Hannah Montana Wake Up [...]
More Obscene Baby Toys: Fisher Price Go Diego Go Walkie Talkies 2008-08-11 15:37:11 First Death Threat Elmo, now this: a Fisher
Price “Go, Diego
, Go!” walkie-talkie reportedly picked up some questionable trucker banter in West Virginia. Apparently there was talk of marijuana and strippers, but the humor of the overheard conversation was ultimately lost on the mom of the tot who owned the walkie-talkie kids’ toys. [...] Read more:Obscene

Even More Babies for the Brangelina Family? 2008-08-10 12:54:21 We’re very accustom to how quickly Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt extend their family, especially when the three well-known adoptions (Maddox, Pax and Zahara) and their daughter Shiloh come to mind. You may have already read all of the headlines about their newborn twins Vivienne and Knox, but have you heard that Brangelina
are now [...] Read more:Babies

Silence of the Babies 2008-08-07 16:19:29 Here are some novel ideas to soothe screaming babies:
Cry No More pacifier: For the baby that likes his binky with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Teen Pregnancy Barbie In the News 2008-09-25 11:11:51 I had no idea when I stumbled upon Teen PregnancyBarbie
last week that she was going to turn into an internet sensation. Here’s what people have to say:

Teletubbies Dancing Back into the Spotlight 2008-09-24 13:38:13 The Teletubbies
craze in the US has definitely waned in recent years, but Tinky Winky, Laa Laa, Dipsy and Po are still shaking things up in the UK with the Teletubbies Dance with Me dolls. It’s a shame Teletubbies dolls are only available in the UK, because they actually look like a lot of fun [...] Read more:Dancing

Kissing Hands and Shaking Babies: Infants in Politics 2008-09-23 12:40:05 The “shaking hands and kissing babies” routine has been in politics as long as there have been politicians, but this year, babies are demanding a more active voice in the election process. If you have a baby that is screaming to make their opinion heard, check out the following baby clothes:

More Baby Halloween Costumes: Superheros 2008-09-19 12:34:32 Here’s a quick rundown of superhero-themed Halloween
costumes for babies:
I am not quite sure why this is called the Deluxe Animated Batman Bunting Baby Costume, but the description is correct in saying that “your baby will be the talk of the party,” especially if your kid is as happy about this Halloween costume as the [...] Read more:Costumes
Another Blow for The Bratz 2008-09-18 16:16:17 Looks like Canadians have had enough of the Bratz
’ saucy attitudes and skimpy attire. Parents and psychologists convinced Scholastic Inc. to stop selling Bratz related books and merchandise as of this school year. This comes as terrible news for the Bratz, who are already in debt up to their eyeballs thanks to Barbie’s legal maneuvering [...]
Disney Princess Perfume: The Nose Knows 2008-09-18 12:58:39 Fans of the DisneyPrincess
es can rejoice: each Disney Princess now has her own signature perfume, which comes in a collectible bottle. I don’t fully understand the perfumerie terms “exit”, “body” and “background”, but Disney Princess Ariel scent is supposed to have an exit of rose and iris, a body of white wood and grape, [...] Read more:Perfume

Barbie’s Been Getting Busy: Teen Pregnancy Barbie 2008-09-17 16:32:19 I didn’t know how right I was when I first said this has been a busy summer for Barbie
. Artist Nina M. Westerberg got straight to the point when redesigning Barbie as a commentary on 2008’s unexpected social concern, teen pregnancy. This Barbie is a funny, ironic, yet painfully sad reminder of teen pregnancy’s current [...] Read more:Pregnancy
The Joy of Breastfeeding: Now for Dads! 2008-09-16 12:50:02 My eyes have been opened to a WHOLE new world in the past 24 hours: breastfeeding fathers. When I stumbled upon Milkmen: Fathers Who Breastfeed, I had a hard time believing it was even possible for men to breastfeed. But I did a little research, and apparently it’s not only legitimate, it’s becoming somewhat popular [...]
Another Exceptional Stroller Concept: Kid Kustoms Roddler Trike 2008-10-14 12:17:35 I have been a big fan of Kid Kustoms‘ awesome stroller designs for a while now, but they have really outdone themselves recently by introducing the world’s first trike conversion kit for Roddler strollers. The tricycle is just as cool looking as the stroller, with mag wheels and fender covers that will appeal to the [...] Read more:Exceptional

Angelina Jolie Takes Breastfeeding Center Stage 2008-10-10 13:04:55 Let me start off by saying, where does AngelinaJolie

Kids Halloween Costumes: Disney Princess 2008-10-03 13:27:02 One great thing about DisneyPrincess
costumes is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween
, which makes them something of a bargain. Hours and hours of playtime fun from just one costume! The downside is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween to places like [...] Read more:Costumes
