Peg Perego Makes Car Travel a Snap

The Perego family has been manufacturing top quality products for babies and children for over sixty years. Designed with Italian flair and made to conform to the highest safety standards, a car seat from the 2011 Peg Perego line ensures that baby travels safely right from the start.

The Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat exceeds the world’s most stringent side impact protection tests and can be adjusted in five positions. Headrest and padding made of soft “comfort dry” microfiber ensures that the fabric stays dry and cozy while allowing ample ventilation. There’s no hassle getting baby in or out of the seat with the quick-release five-point safety harness with shoulder pads and a fail-safe buckle.

The Viaggio seat, certified for use in automobiles or airplanes, has a special removable cushion for newborns and an adjustable hood to shield baby from the sun or rain during transport between car and home. The car seat base utilizes the Latch system and adjusts to fit all types of vehicles.

From bright apricot to sleek gray, this classy car seat comes in a choice of many colors to complement most cars and baby gear. With the Peg Perego Viaggio car seat, travel with baby is a snap from the first trip home to all future adventures on the road.

SwaddleDesigns Soothes and Secures Baby

Swaddling baby can be a daunting task without the right blanket or technique. Lynette Damir, RN, the CEO of SwaddleDesigns, combined her medical training with her art background from the Art Institute of Seattle to develop the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket.

The wrapping instructions sewn into the blanket’s edge keep swaddling instructions right at hand where parents need it. Swaddling helps babies transition from womb to world. Babies sleep better and longer, as swaddling decreases awakening caused by the startle reflex. Parents find swaddling incredibly helpful, especially during the first months of baby’s life.

SwaddleDesigns Ultimate Swaddling Blanket is a generous 42 x 42 inches and is made of soft, super-shrunk, premium cotton flannel –– the first choice of hospitals. Numerous adorable designs are available, including chicks, dots, stars and enchanting polka dots.

As a public service to parents, SwaddleDesigns offers the Safe Sleep Program to increase awareness of safe sleep practices for babies and reduce the incidence of SIDS. In addition to swaddling blankets, the company produces Baby Lovie, a security blanket; the zzzZipMe Sack, a wearable blanket featuring a special two-way zipper for babies who have graduated from swaddling, burp cloths, bibs, fitted crib sheet and bath gear including hooded towels and washcloths –– all in organic cotton that is soft against baby’s tender skin.
