My Baba Measure / 3 May, 2019 / My Baba
From summer fashion pop-ups and kids’ party trends to compact strollers and non-toxic cleaning products, here’s what the My Baba team are loving this week.
A compact stroller is fast becoming an everyday essential for modern parents, particularly city dwellers. While, traditionally, parents would choose a bulkier option for their main pushchair, Ergobaby is proving that its compact stroller is a real all-rounder in the pushchair world. The Metro City Stroller is comfortable, compact and foldable, easing travel on trains and planes and simple to fold up and put away at home. The stroller starts from £299.90 and can be used from six months, or from birth with the Newborn Kit (sold separately).
