Coming Soon – Mutsy Strollers, Boosters and Accessories

Yet another great addition to the Gingerbread Monkeys family of booster seats, strollers and stroller accessories:

Mutsy, originally founded as Mutsaerts in 1937, got its start building traditionally styled prams. Initially serving the Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, the idea of portability and comfort were critical given these countries’ emphasis on walking. The result was larger than normal wheels to provide improved maneuverability and a smoother ride for baby.

Mutsy’s mission is to meet the needs of today’s modern and mobile parent, with a distinctive baby transport collection and a range of other innovative baby products offering flexibility for all lifestyles. The transport collection includes: 4Rider and 4Rider Light which both offer the flexibility and convenience of a reversible seat - may be used with baby facing mum or facing the world. The Transporter is characterised by its ease of operation, a height adjustable push bar and its compact volume when folded. The 4Riders and the Transporter can be used in combination with a carry cot, a seat cover, and different car seats. The Easyrider is a classic umbrella stroller with a uniquely shaped aluminum frame, fitted with small swivel wheels at the front, plus canopy and adjustable back. A unique front suspension system rolls over curbs. A very deep seat recline and 3 position adjustable leg rest makes it very comfortable for children 3 months and up.

In addition to a range of baby transport products with Mutsy’s signature quality, design and unparalleled flexibility, the Mutsy collection has expanded to include high chairs, booster seats and other innovative baby accessories. Check out the entire collection here. Coming to Gingerbread Monkeys in February 2012.

Back to Cool

The phrase “back to school” gives me the heebie geebies. Maybe because it stirs up some bad memories for me. Ok, so I had issues with separation anxiety for a lot longer than most. That said, I’m going to use the term “back to cool” because we have some really cool school accessories for your little rascals.

First up, LunchSkins Reusable Snack, Sandwich and Sub bags by 3 Green Moms. Although it looks like a little bag, reusable LunchSkins can make a big difference! Disposable plastic may have seemed like a great idea in 1964, but our standards have changed. Today, we look for products that are healthy for us and healthy for our planet, particularly things we use on a daily basis like disposable plastic baggies.

Dabbawalla Bags’ mission is simple: design fun, functional bags that appeal to both kids and adults while promoting social responsibility. Dabbawalla Bags are crafted by sewers who earn fair wages in safe working conditions. Dabbawalla Bags are crafted out of an innovative, eco-friendly, neoprene-like material that has earned the rigorous Oeko-Tex 100 standard of safety in textiles and they’re machine-washable!

A long-time celebrity favorite, Beatrix NY is a New York City based company that puts adorable characters and colorful graphics on simple, practically designed products made with a focus on quality and ease of use.

To round out our selection, Lunch Punch Sandwich Cutters are food cutters designed to keep the most amount of bread when cutting the crust off your sandwich. Cutters in the shapes of critters and puzzle pieces allow for a fun lunch with minimal waste.
