Argington’s Sahara Crib/Delphi Changing Station Combo

---

I LOVE this crib/changetable combo!!! The placement of the change table on the back of the crib is a great idea giving parents extra room in the nursery. The crib incorporates many features that are good for parents who don’t have much storage. Blankets and extra sheets can be stored under the crib as well as in the three drawers under the changetable. Argington uses a fixed rail construction, which eliminates the chance of your toddler lowering the rails when you aren’t looking. This is the first convertable crib that actually converts to a real toddler bed. An additional kit is nessecary to finish the look, but once done, your child will have a nice looking bed to sleep in for the next years.

Offered in five finishes: White, Birch, Walnut, Red Maple, and Cherry. More information available at argington.com

The Mutsy Spider

---

The recent trend in travel strollers is for them to be ultra compact when folded. The newly released Mutsy Spider follows this trend by being so compact it can fit in a transit bag.

Its unique 3-wheel design supports a fashionable reclining seat with side protection. The Spider is also equipped with an adjustable handle, a fully protective hood and a basket for storage.

A large hood and shopping basket are included, the coordinated transit bag, nursery bag, footmuff and rain cover are available separately.

I found the stroller at babyguru.ca for $335 CAD
