Maclaren, Baby!

So, I've been saying it for months, but now it's finally true! Strolling in Style is finally Maclaren's newest retailer! We are proud to carry the original buggy from England!

Let me speak for a moment on Maclaren strollers. Maclarens are known for their lightweight frames and classic style. Adding a Maclaren Triumph or Quest to your stroller collection is a great idea for quick trips around town, or for traveling! A Techno XT or the luxurious Techno XLR would be more than ideal for your primary stroller! The Twin Techno XT is an amazing lightweight double! Also, a Maclaren stroller is also a great stroller for every stage of your child's development. Most are compatible from birth or three months, and will accomodate up to 65 lbs; simply amazing, since Maclaren's heaviest single stroller weighs in at just 16.3 lbs! The picture shown here are the Maclaren's in our showroom! Check out the Maclaren collection on our website as well, http://www.strollinginstyle.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_218!

In other news, the majority of the Bumbleride '09 Collection has arrived! We are still missing the Carry Cots and Snack Packs, but the strollers are in the store and looking fabulous! The '09 Indie in Orange Spice is dressed in a daisy green liner by B and V kids (find it in the dress up my ride section). The backrest on the Indie has been upgraded for '09, in addition to the harness and the streamlined canopy. Next, the Ruby Flyer for '09 is here on the floor. The '09 Flyer features an updated canopy and harness as well. The same great Bumberide features such as the reversible handle, full recline and adjustable footrest have stayed the same! Also, the Ruby color features a beautiful beige falling leaf patten in the lining. You can check out pictures of these strollers on our facebook page! Also, while you are there, you can become a fan!

We have had a bit of interest in the Bumbleride Queen B lately, so look for it in our showroom soon. Speaking of adding strollers to our collection, if anyone has any ideas, if you love a stroller or wish we carryed it, please let us know. Your opinion matters!

Also, I wanted to thank our customers for their patience! Here is a small bit about us... we are a small family owned and operated business whose number one goal is to give you, our customers, excellent one on one service. If you do pay us a visit and we are busy with another customer, we want to make it clear that although you may have to wait, we will strive to give you the same individualized service. Please be patient with us. Also, if you would like a phone consulation feel free to call and we will return your call at a time when we can speak serious stroller talk without interuption! Alternatively if you crave individual attention, please make an appointment for Sunday or Monday by calling 561-994-3535.

Happy Strolling!

Enough Said! Wow! Bugaboo has done an amazing thing in taking their first stroller to hit the market, the Frog, and offering it at this unbelievably competitive price without changing a single thing about the stroller!


The Bugaboo Frog, with it's Frog like-suspension, beautiful colors, and bassinet seat combination is the perfect mix of style, comfort and function! Check out the Frog on the website for information on specifications and more features!


Coming soon: the arrival of Maclaren (Finally!), and new Skip Hop bags, new Bumbleride strollers and more surprises in March!

Accessories and Gifts galore!

I feel like things are always changing here, every day is something new and different!

In accessory news, our latest and greatest accessory is the brand new Carry You snack trays! The Carry You snack trays fit on all strollers with a front safety bar including Bugaboo, Uppababy, Phil and Teds, and Icoo! I have heard many complaints from customers about how "Bugaboo's don't have snack trays!" I knew there was such a demand for this product that allows moms to feed their kids on the go. What a cool product, Carry You! Carry You also makes innovative stroller organizers and other stroller accessories.

Also, we have the most beautiful gifts on the floor now. The Mia Belle Baby bunny is a plush bunny that features a posh Fleur de Lis stroller clip on one side and pacifier holder. A perfect gift for the baby who has everything! Another gorgeous option for a gift are the all new Blankeyclips. Blankeyclips are plush dog, bunny or ducks that are also used to clip a blanket to a stroller so it doesn't fall off! Furthermore, Blankeyclips come with their own beautiful fleece blankey!

Here at Strolling In Style, your opinion matters! We love feedback, so if there is anything you think we should carry and don't, please email us or give us a buzz and let us know !

Stroller Update!

Since my last post...

We have officially become the lastest Valco Baby dealer! Valco strollers are extremely practical and functional. The Valco Tri-Mode features an optional toddler seat and hitch-hiker standing board. Therefore, with one single stroller, three children can take a ride! Upgrade to the twin Tri-Mode and 'up' the capacity to four, yes, four kids on one stroller! Whoa! Valco strollers are also known for their wonderful extra storage both in the canopy, and the sides of the under basket! The fold is also fantastic! So if you are looking for a jogger hybrid with doubles potential, this is the stroller for you mama! Also, Valco cup holders and hitch hiker boards are univeral accessories for any stroller!

In other stroller news, Bumbleride rolled out their '09 collection this past week! The '09 Flyer, Indie and Indie Twin boast new colors including Vita (Hot Pink) and Lava (Black.) Also, standard accessories will now include a rain cover! Check out http://www.bumbleride.com/ to view the new collection. The '09 collection will be available at Strolling In Style in late February.

We've been enjoying such cool weather here in South Florida. What better time then ever to take a stroll! Stroll on into Strolling In Style for the hottest brands and stroller accessories!

Stroller Addicts Anonymous

Ok, so I never really considered myself to be a stroller addict until last night...

I was sitting with my husband on a date night (without my baby, mind you) and we're at this Greek festival with all these sights, sounds and smells and all I can do is sit and look at good looking, sleek, beautiful strollers walking by me!

I oohed and ahhed when I spotted it. The Red Phil and Teds Dash with doubles kit in the front position. The stroller looked sleek and modern on the street, a pleasure to push...really, but completely un-bulky, like some inline rides...the stroller looked awesome. As smooth as water falling over rocks. The baby in it looked comfortable and happy...of course if you were sitting in that ride you would be too! Believe me, if you would have seen this stroller on the street, you probably would have fallen in love like I did.

Then not two seconds later I turn to find a Bumbleride flyer in Spice (orange with teal lining). What a cute stroller on the street! Lightweight, but full service with the reversible handle allowing you to see your baby! The mom in question had the handle in the front facing position so she was able to look at her little one. Also, she had linked toys onto the safety bars. Baby in question wasn't sitting in the stroller but happily munching on the handle!

Of course, it wasn't two seconds later that I turned around and saw the beloved Bugaboo! The Dark Brown based Bugaboo Cameleon was in Bassinet form and was dressed (unusual for a chilly night) in a pink breezy canopy! I wasn't able to catch a glimpse of the little baby girl laying bundled and sleeping soundly on the comfy air flow mattress.

Well that was my fun night out, stroller watching. I wish I had taken pictures so you all could see these buggys out and about (reminder to take my camera wherever I go!) Also, if you ever happen to see a really cool ride, you can shoot me some pictures too and send them to info@strollinginstyle.com. I would love to see what you find!

I'll write more on my adventures in Strollerland, now that I am a full blown member!

Also, you can read this article about how to realize that you are a stroller addict and what to do if you are! I love this article, especially the end where the author spells out how many strollers a person should have so as not to turn your garage into a veritable stroller graveyard.

1) Full service ride for every day- parks, malls, walks
2) Lightweight, umbrella style- quick trips, airports
3) Jogger- exercise, fairs...

Just read the article, it's great! Take care until next time!

Presenting...

Enjoy!

What an Exciting Time!

Yesterday we were setting up our new Bob display and had a blast changing a few of the other displays around. Hopefully, I will get a chance to post some new pictures of the displays on the facebook page. If you havn't checked out our facebook page (Strolling In Style), please do because it's a great way to see pictures of the interior of the store.

The Bob display looks really great! We've got the weather shields, sun shields and even the Stroller Strides fitness kits (for those fit mama's out there!) Along with the car seat adaptors and handlebar consoles, you can completely outfit your Bob at Strolling In Style!

We are also working on our new Grand Opening flyer that will be running our new in-store promotion...shh...can't tell you what it is yet, you'll have to wait and see the new flyer! I should have one posted up here soon!

It is so wonderful to have such nice people come into the store who are expecting new little bundles in the Spring or Summer. What a fun and exciting time it is for you as a couple! Shopping for a stroller is a part of that excitement and I am so glad to be helping people make the right decisions and assisting them in finding the right stroller for them! I certainly remember how exciting it was for me (and I'm sure you moms of toddlers or older children out there do too!) For those of you we have met in person, we are so happy to have had you in the store and look forward to assisting you in the future! For those of you we have not met yet, please come by and see us!
