Valco Ion and other Valco- new for 2010
I did say that my next blog post would be devoted to Valco, and therefore, I am going to take the time to try and do just that. I do hope I will be able to fill the space here with everything you want to know about the 2010 colors and new strollers available from Valco for the next model year
With the Ion, Valco has finally "made it" into that little nieche market of single and double full service strollers that fall into a lightweight category. With wheels and canopy and all the trimmin's, the Ion single weights in at 16 lbs and the Double weights the same as the city mini double, a mere 27lbs.
Of course, the Ion is soon-to-be car seat adaptable (Peg, Graco, Maxi and Chicco), and even has an innovative bassinet attachment for a newborn that turns the seat into a bassinet in an instant. Great option for twin newborns because you can buy two bassinet attachements and put them side by side (unheard of for a lightweight design). It is also a great option in single form, for someone who wants a bassinet without all the fuss of a hard cased bulky bassinet. The "egg" shape of the stroller is very modern and funky and the cool oval shaped handle bar greatly resembles the push bar on the Stokee, yet still maintains the ability to push with just one hand or a few fingers.

The "egg" shape of the stroller is very modern and funky and the cool oval shaped handle bar greatly resembles the push bar on the Stokee, yet still maintains the ability to push with just one hand or a few fingers.
Of course, a single canopy isn't the most ideal. I do prefer separate sun canopies, especially for newborns with an older sibling, because parents may not need coverage over both children at the same time. However, the canopy has the new Valco EX feature, and is a truly full coverage canopy, great for sunny days in winter or summer. The shopping basket will not let you down either. It is big and spacious and most importantly, easy to access.
The fold is an easy two step process. What's great about the Ion as well is the larger 12" tires in the back and the single tires up front, make the overall profile of the stroller a bit taller than average. The back canopy includes two storage pouches, one of which is completely removable for extra ventilation and complete with a cell phone pocket. The accessory pack for the Ion includes the front bumper bar(s), and the raincover which make for a great value, seeing as most strollers these days come a-la-carte.
If you are looking for something different, something special in a side by side double, then the Ion could be an option for you. It is definitely worth checking out at the very least.
The Matrix, scheduled to be released this coming winter, is a slimmed down version of the single Tri-Mode. This will not be available in a double. The Matrix will weigh less, have a smaller different wheel and will be a bit more "zippy" than it's Tri-Mode counterpart. Also, the Quad scheduled to be released next Spring is a four wheel version of the Tri-Mode and is also a fully featured infant to toddler stroller. We are excited to learn more about these two strollers as they become available to us.
Again, more to come, as we update our lines for 2010.
Also, FYI we have just become an Orbit baby dealer. Strolling in Style now has 13 different stroller lines, with an option and price range to fit any families needs and budget. We are not an ordinary retail chain store. We do not steer. We are a family owned and operated boutique that strives to match every family with the perfect stroller to fit their needs and lifestyle. Call us for a consultation and we will prove to you that we are stroller experts.

Back and Soon to be Better than EVER
Wow! What a week. I can't believe it's been a few weeks since my last blog update. I am making a resolution to religiously update this blog at least once a week but we shall see how busy this month will be and how it will fly by me.
If you don't know already, we are undergoing two, yes count them, two expansions/renovations at Strolling In Style. One is our long awaited store expansion. We will be increasing our showroom space by another 1000 feet in the coming two weeks. We are busily working on the interior of the store to get it ready, so instead of blogging, I have been painting furiously! We are also renovating our website which is an ongoing process that will probably last until the year is out. As you know, between these two expansions, running a store full time, and a two year old who, as the lady at the supermarket yesterday remarked, "Wow, he's so cute, but my is he a handful!" life is greatly hectic right now.
I dream about strollers. I dream about writing this blog constantly. I have been so excited to finally find the time to update. Now where was I regarding the 2010 collection??
Ah, Bugaboo Red. Starting now and for 2010, Bugaboo will be donating 1% of all US sales to the RED campaign to support AIDS in Africa. How world concious! They are rolling out two special collection canopy sets, one for the Cameleon and one for the Bee. However these will only be available nationwide at Neiman Marcus. How sad! I would have loved to have these displayed in store. Of course, canopy sets can be ordered for $99 from them and you can get your rad Bugaboo Cameleon from Strolling In Style! Also, in 2010 Bugaboo news, soon the Bee will come in base only, and consumers will be able to choose their canopy color, just as with the Cameleon. However, the base will at this time, only be available in black. Production on the age-old and much loved Frog will continue thoroughout the 2010 year but will most likely be on it's way out after this which is sad because I love my Frog! But hopefully there will be new and better things to come from Bugaboo for 2011!
Now onto I'coo. The newly redesigned I'coo Targo has a new name as well. It will roll out for 2010 as the I'coo Pacific. I like the name. It makes me think (of course) of the great ocean and wide open spaces. The Pacific will have the I'coo Targo Chassis, plain and simple. They are making no changes at all to the stroller Chassis (frame) or wheels. So if you like the classic, classy look of the Targo, you are in luck. Also, if you love the original Targo seat and bassinet you are in luck because the company will still produce and sell both models of the stroller.
The change that the german company I'coo made for the 2010 Pacific, lies in the seat and bassinet. This is the best part so listen closely:
The bassinet on the Pacific converts to the seat and back. What does this mean? It means that no longer do you have a frame, a seat fabric and a bassinet fabric to deal with (as with the Bugaboo, which the Targo was most similar to). The stroller will come with a one stop shop kit that makes it incredibly easy to convert from bassinet to seat and back again without having to switch the fabric out ever or even take the darn thing off the chassis.
Sounds familiar, right? That's because the Peg Perego Skate touted this design when it first rolled out. However, consumers complained of the bulkiness and weight of this type of design, eventually causing Peg Perego to toss this idea out the window. SO what makes the Pacific think it can do this any better?
Actually I'coo made it more simple. It is really easy to accomplish the conversion. Simply recline the seat fully and disengage a series of clips on the back and footrest. The bassinet is more shallow then the Targo bassinet, and there is no chrome look to the frame, which equals less weight on the seat/bassinet as well. Although I am a self proclaimed stroller ace (sorry guys I work with these products daily) it took me less than three minutes to change to the bassinet and then to the seat. It shouldn't take the average mom more than two or three tries to get it right. I know ease when I see it! Also, the seat/bassinet is lightweight making folding the stroller in one piece and lifting it into the car not a breeze, but at least manageable at 23 lbs complete. Of course you can take the seat off and fold the stroller itself as well.
Great news as well, is that the canopy extends out more than the Targo canopy, which usually fell short for our South Florida Sun.
I myself love the Targo Chassis, but was never a huge fan of the bassinet/seat arrangement. The bassinet always felt heavy and bulky, and the seat seemed clunky to me as well. I am hugely excited to view and put my hands on the the actual product of the I'coo Pacific and not a prototype. If I'coo and GT baby can pull this off, it might just be a big hit for 2010 at a great price point for a good quality bassinet stroller kit.
I promised Valco this time, but of course you need something to look forward to, right??
Happy Strolling!

Sorry folks. Yesterday got the better of me and I was entirely jet-lagged from Vegas. Besides that my dear, lovely, wonderful two year old was up at 5:30 am two days in a row and we were swamped with work yesterday (which is a good thing!!) Excuses, excuses...
As promised, I am committed to going through what we saw in Vegas (not revealing any industry secrets) but I will tell you as much as I think I am allowed to. Here it goes.
Our first appointment on day 1 of the show was to see the all new Baby Jogger City Select, which I was eager to see as of course, it was the subject of my pre-show blog after seeing the the advertisement for the stroller in Preg and Newborn mag. Baby Jogger has followed in line with some other great companies who've created single chassis, two seaters including Uppababy and Phil and Teds. This modern 21st century tandem stroller is seriously the future of the double stroller. By single chassis I mean, one single stroller that weighs the same, same width, same everything as let's say, your Bugaboo, yet can accommodate two kids, including two toddlers, a newborn and a toddler, two newborns...heck, any combination you can think of, and with sixteen different customized choices to fit your family, Baby Jogger has seriously thought of everything with the City Select.
Of course, I loved that immediately after we entered the booth, the president of Baby Jogger, a cool dad, who actually designed the City Select himself (as well as all the other City strollers- remember, stroller engineers are usually really, really uber-smart Ivy League school grads) came up to us and did the demo on the stroller for us himself. To me, I was incredibly impressed by the attention we received from the company. He actually mentioned to my husband, who is also my most valued employee, that his first concept for the stroller was on a napkin at a restaurant, so all you folks that have ideas hit you when you're out and about with your kids, do this. Find a napkin and a pen because apparently, it works.
Therefore, I have to say that the prototype for the City Select was very cool. The chassis comes in somewhere in the heavier-than-25-but-lighter-than-30 range, quite light for a double. The fold was incredibly easy and definitely in line with the other Baby Jogger strollers. The stroller can be folded with the front seat on, so it is convenient for suburban moms. However, as I mentioned, there are other single chassis double strollers out there, but the design on the City Select is completely different than anything in the industry. First off, the mechanism that fits the adapter for the second seat/car seat/bassinet is on the top of the front wheel, instead of on the actual frame, making installation of the second seat/carseat/bassinet, incredibly quick and easy. The car seat adapter was made to still fit over fourteen different makes of car seats. What's also cool is, the two stroller seats are the exact same seat, compared to the other companies that make the second seat a different size and shape. The wheels are no-flat! I love the practical option for a toddler seat and bassinet, or a toddler seat and car seat. Of course the seats can either face you or away. Moms of twins will love the two car seat option. Look for the City Select at Strolling In Style and www.strollinginstyle.com in January of 2010. It will retail for $499 base (chassis +seat). Other options include bassinet, and car seat adapters. The stroller will come in black, red or off-white.
Also in Baby Jogger news, a new color City Mini, the new Scarlet/Grey, has arrived and should be available in store and online very soon. A car seat adapter for the Chicco car seat will soon be available for the City Mini as well. And bad news for those City classic fans, it will be discontinued for the 2010 production year.
Later on that day, we visited the most awesome brand ambassador in the entire world (hope she reads this too) over at Phil & Teds most excellent buggy company!
The world has been awaiting the Smart buggy from Phil and Teds and it will finally be released first quarter of 2010. Here is the scoop on the Smart Buggy. Think of it as a small, lightweight, four wheel version of the vibe. Same chromed out frame and black to chrome contrast. However, the canopy of the Smart is made entirely of Lycra! Definitely innovative. The seat is not lined in cloth but in a rubbery type material, although the new "cushy ride" accessory from P &T will be an optional addition. A Peanut bassinet is available from P &T for the Smart, as well as car seat options for Graco, Peg Perego and Chicco, although I'm not sure which will come first and in what succession they will be released. The Smart Buggy is definitely the buggy for the urban mother, who travels by car and public transit and needs an easy quick compact fold and a lightweight zippy ride. The Phil and Teds Smart Buggy is definitely smart for mom's in any urban or suburban area. One more plus for the Smart- the larger than umbrella stroller wheels will allow city moms to easily maneuver cracks in sidewalks.
In other P &T news, production for the Hammerhead Buggy, once scheduled to be released this coming October has been pushed back. The four-wheel all terrain buggy by P &T will be very similar to the Sport, and will have two front wheels instead of one. It will be available in black and red, hopefully by next Spring.
My fingers are sore and my store needs attention so goodbye until next time when I will cover Bugaboo "red", Valco and I'coo!

I'm not sure where to begin. There is so much to tell about our time in Las Vegas at the 2009 ABC Convention. It went by in a whirlwind and there was so much to see and so little time that of course, I had absolutely no time to blog/tweet/or facebook. We were so swamped and at the end of the day all we wanted was to go to the hotel and sleep it off!
Now that we are back I can get serious about everything we saw and let all of you in on the best kept industry secrets! Lucky you, if you read my blog this week...
Of course, I can't write everything today. I am going to break up my blogging into daily snippets. There is no other way, because if I tried to write everything here it would end up being a fifty page blog which I highly doubt you want to sit through in one reading. Face it, you're busy moms (or dads) and this will make it easier on all of us!
This is how I will break up my blogging.
Days 1 and 2: Here, I will focus on the current brands we carry and what is coming for 2010. I will review the Baby Jogger City Select (yes I saw it!), the Phil and Teds Smart Buggy and Hammerhead, the Bugaboo "red" campaign, as well as the new Valco Ion and Matrix; I'll cover the newly redesigned I'coo Targo and Peg Perego Skate, and the all new redesign on the Bob Revolution.
Day 3: I will let you in on what new lines we will take into the store for late 2009 to 2010.
Day 4: I will focus on new stroller accessories, including new branded accessories for 2010!
Thanks for reading and check back tomorrow! Happy Strolling!

Baby Jogger City Select and the quest for a single to double tandem stroller
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrRPlncnBW39V_ty7a82kv4bk7rGWnb9WQdAZH2ooBPee3nyEV4rkMIMIBAg8wlkojCiK-RYUXtnaq_ZOGRap7lDc8vlW-UfNlLBY3RXYBz5xU60DccwfBvBQ68nWtcyUbGmZYEgtgzZhI/s320/city7.jpg)
I just happened to be in the bookstore in the local mall yesterday night with my two year old and my husband. My two year old was, for once, well fed and quietly looking at a magazine with pictures of dogs. I picked up the newest Preg and Newborn mag and- low and behold-I come across this add for the all new Baby Jogger City Select.
Wait one moment. A stroller that I don't even know existed? How is that possible? I thought I knew everything that was out there... See pictures above. I was a bit floored. Here is my honest opinion.
The City Select seems too good to be true. Sure, it looks like the tandem double every mom of multiples or mom of two dreams about. Two car seats, bassinet and toddler seat, two toddler seats and about fourteen other combinations all of which are customized. Also, speaking of a single to double tandem, a few months back I saw a picture of Rebecca Romijn pushing her twins in what looked like a single stroller with two car seats at staggered heights. It looked and pushed like a single. The city select is "almost" the same as Rebecca's, except it looks like it has two front wheels. Rebecca's had one and the car seats were facing away.
The reason I'm a skeptic about the BJ City Select is that I have absolutly no specs. How much does this bad boy weigh, how small does it fold, how wide is it, how big are the seats, what is the weight limit. is it user-friendly for us moms?? So many questions that I must have answered.
The worst part is, I dislike how secretive BJ is about this one (I'm sure they are going to make a huge to-do about it this weekend in Vegas). I mean, I am a Baby Jogger dealer. I own and operate a stroller specialty store and had no idea, pricing, or information on the stroller... I had to find out about it in a magazine add. I wish BJ was more open with retailers....we can keep secrets too!
The only other stroller the City Select compares with is the iCandy Apple/Pear/Peach, which is coming to the states this fall. The i-candy sports the same, single to double chassis with many customizable options. It is now the test to see which one is built to withstand, and which one makes more sense in this market. The price on the City Select I saw on one website was $499, but that must be for the single chassis and seat, and of course the other items such as car seat adapters, bassinet, extra seat, etc are optional. The iCandy will most likely be in a higher price range but that is yet to be determined.
More to come on the City Select and the iCandy after the ABC show this weekend...

Phil and Teds Peanut on the Vibe. Just had to post a couple of pics in case anyone wanted to see it. It is in store and on display and I assure you that it is beautiful. With the seat off, it is even sweeter, and it's not even that hard to do. Come on in for a demo! I just love Phil and Teds. So beautiful, so practical.
We are headed to Las Vegas for the All Baby and Child Show (formerly JPMA) in a few weeks. This is the show that all other shows bow down to. Imagine, anything and everything you would ever need or want for baby in display in one giant place! Of course, we are headed straight there to find the newest and most awesome, super, incredible, spectacular strollers and accessories for the store. Every best brand in the industry is bringing their finest, and we will also be able to get a sneak peak on the 2010 collection of some brands and their accessories. Can you believe in just a few short months it will be 2010??
Of course, we have twelve amazing brands but we are still looking for some industry changing, innovative, and practical strollers for our South Florida moms and the store. It's amazing how the needs of our customers in this area are so varied, yet so alike at the same time.
Also, we are going to be searching for some new registry accessories including possibly, shopping cart covers. If there are any suggestions on other items that you think we might want to carry or you would like to see us carry, please email me at info@strollinginstyle.com and let me know!

It has been a rainy few days in South Florida! Hopefully that means a change in the seasons. Definitely can't wait for fall! It was one long, hot, steamy summer.
Happy Strolling!
