Anything on wheels is a hit with the kids. You know it. The Corkels by Ben Blanc blend wheels with eco chic.  A lion on wheels? Sure!

Ben Blanc is a talented and witty American designer. The Corkels are a fun toy at a great pricepoint ($10) but also are really witty and I think I will snag a boat... for my own desk. 

I recently gifted myself with a Bumbleride Flyer. In the name of research, of course. I have a handful of different strollers and so I am not easily impressed. But I have to tell you, the Bumbleride Flyer really blew me away.

It has an amazing amount of features for a very reasonable pricepoint ($329). My top 3 favorite things about the Flyer: 1. The handle reverses so you can face your baby or have the baby face outwards. 2. It comes with a lot of cool standard accessories including a raincover and infant carseat adapter. 3. Super easy fold! Fits in the trunk!

Also, new for 2009: New Colors: Lava (black) and Vita (pink). Redesigned canopy, wheels and footprint of the Bumbleride Flyer. New 1 touch harness system. The raincover is also now a standard accessory. Cool!

The proof is in the pudding: my 7 month old sat in the Flyer for 1.5 hours during a recent Ikea outing. Amazing! No tears. Total happiness for all involved.
