What strollers and car seats can we compare?

We typically have over 35 strollers on display which includes single strollers, double strollers, compact travel strollers & travel systems from top brands including NUNA, UppaBaby, CYBEX, Bugaboo & more. Additionally we usually have about 15-20 different car seats on display that include infant, convertible, & booster car seats from brands like Peg Perego, Clek, NUNA, CYBEX & AxKid.

These are the strollers & car seats on display and accessible during one of our consultations.
You can always calls us to confirm before booking your appointment.
Can we browse the strollers without an appointment?
No, our demo area and samples are available exclusively during our scheduled consultations.

While many families think they just need to “look,” questions almost always come up — about fit, safety, compatibility, or features — which naturally requires guidance from our team.

To ensure everyone gets dedicated attention and the opportunity to fully explore the products, we handle all hands-on demos during a booked consultation. This way, you get the answers you need and leave confident in your decision.

How do consultations work, and why is there a deposit?

Your time is valuable. Our consultations provide dedicated, one-on-one time with an experienced member of our team to help you find the right stroller, car seat, or combination for your family.

You’ll have the opportunity to see, test, and compare products in person without feeling rushed or competing with other customers for assistance.

The consultation fee supports the time we dedicate to each family, along with our investment in display models and product training. Your deposit is applied toward your qualifying stroller and/or car seat purchase with us.

How does the consultation deposit work with our baby registry?

Not a problem!  After your appointment, we send a follow up email with the products we went over so that you’re able to do additional research & follow up.  In that email we can include instructions on how to create a registry with us or link our store to popular registries like BabyList or My Registry.  Your deposit is refundable when the applicable items are purchased through our store.

Please note, with universal registries like BabyList it's important to make sure your stroller & car seat items are linked to our store correctly to ensure they are not purchased through other retailers as this will result in your consultation deposit being forfeited.

Is your pricing competitive with online and other stores?

Absolutely! We’re committed to offering competitive pricing along with the personal service and expertise you can only get in-store. Our pricing is often the same as—or better than—what you’ll find online or at larger retailers like Nordstrom.

Plus, when you purchase from us, you’re getting more than just the product. Our team can help you compare products, try them in person, answer your questions, and provide services like assembly and car seat installation.

And if you find a better qualifying price elsewhere, let us know! We’ll often price match because we want you to feel confident that you’re getting a great value while supporting a local business.
Do we have to decide at the end of our appointment?

No, your appointment deposit is applied to your stroller & car seat purchase when you’re ready.
