Space Saving, Multi-Use Baby Products

November 3, 2011 No Comments

Being based in Chicago, the Kolcraft staff knows all too well the challenges of raising a family in the city. When living quarters are tight and the kids are growing up quickly before our eyes, products that offer space saving solutions and extended usage are not only convenient, they are essential! Check out some of our favorite space saving, multi-use products below:

When space in the nursery or child’s playroom is at a premium, 2-in-1 products that offer extended use are a great option. Kolcraft’s Baby Sit & Step 2-in-1 Activity Center easily converts from a height adjustable activity center to a walk-behind walker.

  • The Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet can easily convert from a changing table to a bassinet. The removable Moses basket and wheels allow baby to sleep soundly in any room of the house.
  • Navigating the sometimes crowded city streets of the city is easy for you and baby with the Jeep 2-in-1 Sport Baby Carrier.
  • The Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather side-by-side double stroller has a compact and convenient umbrella fold for easy storage! This stroller can be used year-long with the seat pad that rolls up in the summer to reveal a breathable mesh backing and rolls down in the cooler months to protect your little ones from the wind.
  • The Sesame Street 1-2-3 Learn With Me Potty Chair can be used as a both a potty chair and step stool. The life of this product is extended when you use the removable seat adapter that fits most adult toilets!
  • Our Contours Options 3 Wheeler accommodates a number of different infant car seats, a reversible stroller seat, and a height adjustable canopy, so this product can easily grow with your child.

  • It’s Back: the Contours 3 in 1 Bassinet

    October 13, 2011 6 Comments

    We are so excited to announce the return of the Contours Classique 3 in 1 Bassinet. This bassinet has been a favorite item for new moms and dads. The Classique Bassinet offers classic style, convenient features, and an elegant fashion for contemporary parents. The last model of this bassinet sold out several months ago. It was demanded back by new moms and dads. We updated the fashion and the materials and we are excited to re-release this product.

    We are proud of this product and we could gush about it for awhile, but we thought the best advocates are parents like you. Below are a few of the reviews of the previous model.

    • Minnestoa Mamas Must Haves
      “Pros: Beautiful design of wood and fabric, sturdy construction, on wheels for easy movement, dual purpose-converts from bassinet-moses basket-changing table.
      Cons: I can’t come up with anything I don’t like about this bassinet. It is a great bassinet for every baby”

    • Real Moms Real Reviews
      “It really is a wonderful bassinet and one I will be using for years and years to come with all my babies. I highly recommend this bassinet to anyone with a baby or expecting. It would make a wonderful baby shower gift too!”

    • Making My American Dream
      “I quickly fell in love with the Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet from Kolcraft and I simply cannot say enough good things about it. It is perfect for our small home because it has so many uses and it happens to match our decor perfectly.”

    This Contours Classique 3 in 1 Bassinet is a new model. We have updated the fashion, materials, and price, but it has all of the great features that these moms, and so many others, loved.
