Personally I love the stuff that comes out from the Dwell Studio and the Rose Cowgirl Stroller Blanket is no exception. Pretty and Pink, the blanket will make your bundle of joy feel like a little princess. Made from 100% combed Egyptian cotton and velour, the blanket is retailing for  $33.75 after discount.

At times, we fail to realize the length to which a nursery or children’s rooms would last. Normally, once our kids grow out of their room and become adults, chances are the need to redecorate the said room will become necessary considering that no adult would be comfortable living in a baby-themed room.

Hence for people building homes, the trick is to come up with a trendy design that can be general in nature. We often follow a certain theme, normally depending on the age and preference of kids according to our beliefs. But these days, modern design includes not only art but by also being to integrate forever with initial designs.

Those in the know in the baby business report Zayn’s room is a part of a trend mirrored in the boutiques of L.A. and New York, and even here in Jacksonville. It’s a modern twist inspired by reasons both practical and ideological.

“People are liking the simplistic look vs. over-the-top frou-frou types of stuff that I think at one point has been popular,” said Kacey Roache, an interior designer and owner of Lulu, a baby boutique at the St. Johns Town Center. Roache helped Larmon design her son’s room.

The GULLIVER is a new crib from IKEA. Available in finishes like birch and white, the crib retails for $139.00 and comes with a conversion crib. The perforated bed base is not only good for air circulation but can also be placed at two different heights.

Apparently this news article is something that has me confused in a way. For one, why would a country allow furniture exports into their wing without the proper safety standards that is practically a requirement for the sake of consumers? Perhaps it took a lot of deaths and injuries to tighten the standards of furniture quality. But as they say, better late than never!

This developed as we have seen a lot of recalls, particularly crib safety, and while many of us love cheap furniture, it should not serve as a compromise for safety. Hopefully though with these set mandatory safety certification, better control for erring suppliers who seem more to look at profit over consumer concerns.

The requirement will take effect on November 12, an official from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said here Monday.

Richard W. O’Brien, the commission’s director of Office of International Programs and Intergovernmental Affairs, said President Bush had signed a sweeping revision of consumer product safety laws on August 14, 2008.

For our babies, we would want them to get the best comfort wherever they may be sleeping like portacots. This includes placing additional foams, mattresses and pillows to get that soft sleeping position that babies are bound to love.

But while the intent is good, they can also be a threat. Babies do not have the same strength that adults may have and just in case, suffocation once these additional mattresses fall on them unknowingly.

Association executive director Tim Wain said he was alarmed by the findings of a Monash University Accident Research Centre study that suggested one in three people used additional padding with their portacots, unaware of the dangers to children.

“When you apply an additional mattress … it creates a gap that the child can roll into and because the sides of the portacot are flexible they can’t lift themselves out and suffocate,” he said.
