So it turns out that that tattered ‘ol blankie you’ve been carrying around (secretly) for the past few decades may actually have a positive psychological benefit. A recent study has found that children who are attached to a toy or baby blanket seem to adjust better to anxiety-producing situations. Luckily, your little one doesn’t need to carry that big blankie Linus-style – Larucci, the design house that brings you the fabulously soft and luxurious faux fur baby blankets, makes these conveniently sized security blankets. The Larucci security blanket is perfect for toting around, easing sleepless nights, and self-soothing. Each security blanket measures 15″x15″ and is fabricated with the same microsuede and faux fur as the full size version. Now that’s definitely an idea Linus would approve of!
Inanimate objects can take on a life of their own in a child’s imagination. Such is the case with Frazier & Wing’s gorgeously whimsical baby mobiles.

This unique baby mobile can be used above baby’s crib or in any room in need of a blast of color. Made in the USA. Measures 5.5″ x 28″

Back in 2007, it was found that several large toy and children’s product manufacturers who were outsourcing manufacturing overseas sold hundreds of products in the US that were found to be toxic and unsafe. Our congress acted swiftly, passing the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act in August of 2008 – a step that was absolutely necessary in the manufacturing of children’s toys and one that gives parents peace of mind.
This act, however, may inadvertently put small Handmade Toy and children’s clothing companies in the US, Canada and Europe, out of business. Because this law mandates third party testing, which could cost anywhere from $200 to $4000 per item, the cost of making the product outweighs profit for small, independent designers. The result may be a dramatic decrease in unique and creatively designed products for children and babies.
What can you do to help save these independent Children’s Clothing Designers and Toymakers? Sign the Handmade Toy Alliance’s petition here and the Children’s Apparel Industry Petition here. Urge your local congressman to make exemptions or amendments to the law for independent designers.
If we had to pick one must have stroller accessory this season, we would undoubtedly go with the 7 A.M. ENFANT B212evolution Stroller Footmuff. Not only does this footmuff beat the competition with incomparable features, but the nylon exterior, which comes in bold color combinations, looks great with any baby stroller including the Bugaboo Bee and the Bugaboo Chameleon. Unlike the Bugaboo footmuff, the 7 A.M. ENFANT footmuff is waterproof – an invaluable feature on snowy and rainy days. The fiber insulation is feather light and as warm as down filling. Versatility is key with this footmuff as the hood zips on and off for colder days and features a velcro strap just for pacifiers (no need to use the 5 second rule any more!). The 7 A.M. ENFANT B212evolution Stroller Footmuff can also “grow” with your child, from birth to 4 years, with it’s 3 different lengths. With a countless number of features and its ability to adapt to any stroller, it’s no wonder this footmuff has been so popular with parents!
