Out on the Street Again!

On April 25th, Strolling In Style, in association with Stroller Strides of Boca Raton was able to raffle off a Stroller Strides BOB Revolution to benefit the March of Dimes. The raffle raised over $500 dollars for the organization.

While at the event, the March for Babies, we were honored to meet so many babies who had fought for their lives as preemies and were now thriving and healthy thanks to the organization. Of course with so many babies there, it was obvious that there were some beautiful strollers!

My favorite of the day was the Red Bugaboo Frog with parasol, followed closely by the Bumbleride Flyer in Seagrass. I did see a Baby Jogger City Mini and a Baby Jogger City Series elite double as well! The BOB 12" AW looked great, and there was a blue BOB Sport Utility stroller somewhere in there as well!

It was exciting to see so many strollers out at once, all in support of such a great cause!

Maclaren GTLX

The Maclaren GTLX is here!

The brand new Grand Tour LX is a hybrid multi-terrain stroller by Maclaren, a trusted leader in strollers since the 1960's. Whilst Maclaren is known for their A-frame, umbrella fold strollers, they have leapt head first into this fully-loaded, full featured, luxury infant to toddler stroller. IN short, the Grand Tour LX is for parents who want it all in one convenient package.

The Grand Tour LX, which I will call the GTLX for short, has many features you will not find on any stroller in today's market. Here are a few:

Safety lights. The GTLX has safety lights located below the front swivel wheels. These lights are activated by a switch under the footplate and can be operated with a remote control which is included. The LED lights will give out a continuous bright white glow, flash red and green, or flash red, white and green. Safety lights allow for more night visibility to see your baby.

Console. The GTLX console is an outstanding marvel. The console consists of a timepiece, a temperature gauge and a strollometer. The Strollometer allows you to measure distance with every step and is easily calibrated. The conosle also consists of a phone/glasses holder, always allowing for easy access at your fingertips.

Nano-Tex. The stroller fabric is Nano-tex, making it UV treated, water resistant and even fire resistant. The Nano-Tex fabric makes the stroller unbelievably protected from the sun.

SO that is only a few of the amazing things that make the GTLX so edgy and unique, putting it at the top of today's market. Plus, the ticket price isn't bad, considering the amount of accessories that are included in the price of the stroller. Watch for it on our site in the next few days, and you'll see what we mean.

It's been awhile since our last post, but boy have we been busy! Our store is expanding and making the most of the space we have hasn't been the easiest process, but things are looking great!

In accessory news, we have new stroller organizers from Carry You, including the double stroller organizer which works great on the Maclaren Twin Techno and other side by side twin strollers! We of course have the Torino jogging organizer for jogging strollers and all the velcro-on snack trays for the bugaboo, phil and teds, UPPAbaby and other strollers with front bars. We have the demi milan organizer for umbrella strollers as well. An organizer from Carry You is a great way to add extra storage to your stroller and the soft cup holders are great for sippy cups, water bottles, and even your iced latte! Also, we are adding some stroller toys to our collection so watch out for those! Oh, and we have a bazillion stroller liners that are NOT online so if you live in the area and want to come by, you can see our collection here in the store...sorry everyone else, I hope to update that part of the website, but like I said, we've been so super busy!

In stroller news, the carry cot from Bumbleride has arrived and it is SO adorable! The picture above is the carry cot on the Bumbleride Flyer in Vita...doesn't it look precious? The best part is the fact that the Indie Twin can take two carrycots for newborn baby twins! The mattress is nice and soft, and it is just enough room for baby to get cozy and dozy. It fits in all Bumbleride strollers except the Queen B (which of course we don't have yet...shhh. One day soon!)

Also, expected to arrive next week is the Maclaren Grand Tour. However, no real definites on that, but will keep you posted. If you don't know what the Grand Tour is, and most of you probably don't, stay tuned; all will be revealed in the coming weeks. I assure you that this might just be the years hottest stroller...

Take care until next time! Happy Strolling!
