Nip/Tuck, Babesta's Stroller "Facelifts" in Urban Baby NY

Big thanks to Urban Baby for giving our Stroller "Facelifts" a shout out in today's Urban Baby NY!

Bring your stroller in and we can quickly diagnose what you need or suggest some fixes that give a good bang for your buck. Some of our most popular: Canopy renewal, 12" wheel replacement, and carry handle replacement. Check it out in Urban Baby here!

Farewell Dear Poe - Giant Ugly Doll Donated to Charity

We are already missing our GIANT ugly doll, Poe. At about 5 feet tall and with a 4 ft wingspan, he was the "elephant in the room" so to speak. There was no denying him. 

On Wednesday, he was donated to the Montessori School of Manhattan on Beach Street for the Annual Benefit. We've been wanting to donate a Giant Ugly for this event and are happy that we finally did! We know we made a child both surprised and totally psyched, while raising money for this fabulous school!

That being said, we didn't realize, over the short time he's been with us, how attached we'd be. Luckily we are adopting another Giant on Tuesday. Can you guess who it is? Neek, if you're reading - hint - he's your favorite! Shop Giants here!
