A growing family means even more beautiful, busy moments. And the more you grow, the more it seems you’re on the go, which means it might be time for a sanity-saving double stroller. These two styles are the newest additions to our big stroller selection at Baby’s World.

The City Select (above left) $549.99

Baby Jogger’s innovative City Select lets you choose one of 16 different seating combinations. Add the Second Seat Kit (which comes complete with seat-mounting brackets) and you can convert it into a double stroller. While the City Select is not meant for jogging, it is meant to move – its swivel front wheels are agile for quick cornering and they can be locked when you’re cruising long distances. All this and it can still fold up in one simple step thanks to its patented quick-fold technology.

The City Mini (above right) $649.99

Your dynamic duo can cruise side-by-side in this double stroller by Baby Jogger. At less than 30” wide, it’s designed to fit through standard doors and its lightweight design can carry up to 100 lbs. For your growing passengers there are adjustable five-point safety harnesses and for you, a large under-seat storage basket. It’s the stroller built for two (and you!).

To find out more about our single and double strollers, please contact our Baby’s World team.

Chic and modern, this grey velveteen dress ($39.99) goes beautifully with all the pink accessories she already has – think frilly tights and polka dot hair bows. The faux fur vest ($34.99) will keep her chic and cozy well into summer evenings too.

For your little garden-exploring entomologist we have new printed graphic t-shrits, like this cheeky little one from Mexx ($14.99).

No frills? Not as far as we’re concerned! We love embellishments, even on diaper covers like this ($20.99). After all, it won’t be long before she’s rebelling in ripped t-shirts and skin-tight jeans.

For now, though, you can dress her in a much sweeter take on denim. This rouched dress ($36.99) is perfect for early spring days.

In looks like these, your little fashion plates will be dressed to impress everyone, even your mother-in-law.

Safety first! Those are words we live by. That’s why our car seat selection is unparalleled – we want your little passenger to cruise in comfort while she’s traveling safely.

Joining our car seat selection at Baby’s World this summer is the Foonf by Clek. What makes it such a game-changer? Its REACT™ — Rapid Energy-Absorbing Crumple Technology – Safety System, which absorbs energy from a collision so less force is transferred to your little one.

The Foonf seat is relatively compact too. Less than 17 inches at its widest point, most vehicles can fit three of them side-by-side. Plus, it’s approved for use in aircraft. (If you and your little jet-setter are frequent flyers, check out some of our top travel accessories.)

This convertible car seat one of the easiest to install, and as with any seat purchased at Baby’s World, we’re happy to help you install it. Just ask any of our advisors.

Happy trails!

Pronto Changing Station by Jonathan Adler for Skip Hop ($39.99)
Small and chic, the foldable changing station can transform any bag (even your carry-on!) into a diaper bag. Made of wipe-able fabric in eye-catching prints and stocked with a translucent wipers case, the Pronto Changing Station makes it easy to keep it – and your little traveler – clean.

Jujube travel-ready diaper bags ($65 – $200)
Style has finally met its match. The Be Prepared bag by Jujube is made for moms on the fly. Its Teflon-coated fabric deflects those (all too common) spills and its “Mommy pockets” keep all your accoutrements at hand. Plus, it’s cute as a button. Not unlike your little one, in fact.

Gogo Kidz Travelmate ($129.99)
Leaving on a jet plane? Bringing your car seat with you? Don’t lug it through the airport, wheel it with the Gogo Kidz Travelmate! It fits many toddler car seats (ask a Baby’s World advisor if it’ll fit yours) so your back can be spared the hassle of carrying a seat through YVR.

Travel-sized skin care from Gaia ($18.99)
Just for mom! This travel trio features a foaming chamomile and green tea-infused cleanser to wash away the day’s travels; a refreshing toner with rose floral water to make you feel like you didn’t just spend the day in transit; and a light facial moisturizer with ginseng and jojoba oil to soften your skin when you’re on the go.

Revolution Sun Shield ($71.99)
Heading for the sun? You lucky ducks! Protect the smallest members of your family with a BOB Revolution Sun Shield. It fits over a stroller to shade your little one from the sun, protect her from the wind and it will block out bugs come summer.

Happy travels! To inquire about available styles, please contact our Baby’s World team.

Bake Valentine’s Day-themed after-preschool treats. This can be as simple as adding a little pink icing to a cupcake mix or as indulgent as Martha Stewart’s recipe for heart-shaped brownies and brownie bites, which little hands will love to roll.

Dress up your littlest sweetheart in a red tutu (we have them in store), take photos and send virtual Valentines to far-away family.

Pop some popcorn (you can even make it red), grab the family and curl up on the couch for a movie night. If you’d like something comfy to sit on, it doesn’t get any cozier than these bean bag chairs.

Book a babysitter (if you can get one!) and head out for the night, just mom and dad. If mom’s still nursing, we have breast pumps in store.

And if you’re still looking for a gift for dad – Baby’s World is offering free delivery within Greater Vancouver on nursery furniture ordered before February 14^th.

Baby Delice $159.99
Is there nothing this can’t do? The Baby Delice cooks and steams chopped fruit vegetables, meat and fish. It’ll even blend them too. But that’s not all, it can warm jars, sterilize bottles and even defrost baby food. If only it did the dishes, too…

The Wean Machine $27.99
Simply brilliant, the Wean Machine lets you mash fruit and cooked veggies and serve it straight out of the gadget. It’s compact so it fits perfectly in your diaper bag.

Baby Cubes $6.99
End up making enough baby food to feed the whole family? (Now that would be a memorable meal time!) Store extra meals in these stackable freezer trays by Baby Cubes. Available in three sizes, each cube pops out to defrost one meal-sized portion at a time.

The Food Mill $12.99
Grind and go with the Deluxe Food Mill. Its snap-on lid makes it easy to take with you when you’re hopping from Mommy ‘n Me to baby yoga to sign language class.
Looking for recipe ideas? Here’s a list of five healthy baby food recipes so good, we’re tempted to try them ourselves.

What does a new parent need this holiday? Well, sleep would be nice. But a new parent’s wish list is also filled with plenty of must-haves like carriers and car seats, blankets and Baby Bjorns, plus a host of gadgets and trinkets that will make their lives easier. All of which we carry at Baby’s World.

If you’re not quite sure which baby food freeze tray or which stroller add-on they’re looking for, give them Baby’s World gift cards. They’re the perfect size, the perfect colour and they’re available in any amount. Pick them up in store at Baby’s World.

We love anything that does double duty. Especially when it comes to furniture. Right now, we’re offering a Double Up promotion on our convertible cribs.

When you purchase $1500 or more of furniture, including convertible cribs, you’ll receive free double bed conversion rails. Plus, you’ll get free delivery and complimentary set-up anywhere in the Lower Mainland!

But only for a limited time. So hurry in! Details in store.

Get comfy with these high quality bean bag chairs, brand new at Baby’s World! Great for ages three and up, they’re family-friendly furniture at its finest: they’re shaped like a tear drop so the foam pellets can be formed to offer back support for mom and dad, and their covers are made of washable material that can be zipped off easily in case of a spill.

They come in three sizes, small ($139.99), medium ($199.99) and large ($249.99) so you’ll find one that’s just right (Goldilocks would approve!). And they’re available in three colours too: blue for his room, pink for her room and black for the family room.

Plus, they’d be fun to wrap up and put under the Christmas tree!

She’s made her shopping list and checked it twice. But what does the new or expectant mom want for herself this holiday? We’ve compiled a few of our favourite gifts for the new mom and mom-to-be. Even if the number one thing on her wish list is a good night’s sleep.

Musical Pregnancy Pendant $35.99
Nothing accessorizes mom’s bump quite like a musical pendant. The necklace hangs low on her belly so it chimes gently as she moves, a sound that baby can hear as early as 20 weeks. If she wears it often during her pregnancy, its sound can help soothe baby after birth too. At Baby’s World, we carry these pendants in many colours and styles.

Nursing lingerie $49.99
Once upon a time nursing bras were plain and boring. Those days are gone. You! Lingerie makes beautiful, stylish bras that look nothing like the nursing bras of old. In bright colours with soft lining and pretty lace accents, they make a great gift for a new mom. Available at Baby’s World in many colours and styles.

Teensy Teether Amber Anklets $19.99
Technically, it’s a gift for baby. But a happy teether makes a happy mom so these Baltic amber anklets make our holiday wish list. The theory is this: amber naturally reduces the acidity levels in a baby’s body, which helps soothe the little one during teething. Spoil mom with some matching amber jewelry too.
