The Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat includes EPP foam for energy absorption, a cozy infant insert, and a base that stays in the car. I noticed this car seat because it has a modern European style and a very chic look.

Car seats are very necessary and you can’t skimp on the quality because of safety hazards. However, most are cumbersome and time-consuming.The Maxi-Cosi Mico Car Seat, on the other hand, is very attractive. It reminds me of an egg shape which goes along with the idea of new life. That’s a perfect fit for your child.

The Mico’s weighted base (included) installs in a rear-facing configuration with LATCH connectors, but you can also install the car seat using only your vehicle’s safety belts and the carrier’s special belt guides. It weighs 8.65 lbs. (without the base) and is designed for infants 5-22 lbs. and up to 29 inches long. This unique car seat comes in a variety of colors and sells for $169 at PoshTots.com.

My two year old is currently obsessed with bags and backpacks.  She likes to hoard small toys in them and carry them around with her.  It is actually quite cute to watch–I just have to make sure she doesn’t run off with my keys or cell phone.  Because she is having so much fun with this game, I think I may feed our Haba addiction with this great Solemio Little Bag for the holidays.

I love the gorgeous colors–the red is so deep and luxurious and the contrast between the red, pink, and green is really attractive.  The bag has a magnetic closure and pockets for all your little one’s treasures.  It is also machine washable.

You can purchase this bag for $7.99 at oompa.com.

All three of my children are close in age. So while I was running after my two toddler boys I was also trying to hold onto my infant girl! Someone had given me a metal-framed baby carrier (almost like a hiker’s backpack) but it was just too bulky and cumbersome for everyday use.
