Pretty little things
The weather is cooling off (in some parts of the country anyway) and pram-pushing mamas are faced with the annual challenge of keeping their hands warm and toasty yet free to fetch fallen toys, zip-up coat zippers and reposition hats. Everyone knows it's next to impossible to tie shoes with gloves on, and quite frankly, successfully completing any other tiny task is almost equally unlikely. What's a block-walking mom to do? Invest in a pair of Strittens, of course! The mitten-like pouches from Nomie Baby attach to the handlebar of most any stroller to keep your hands frostbite-free as you fit in your daily breath of fresh air. And when baby needs her paci reinserted or her nose wiped, you can easily do so with your bare hands. (They'll be able to handle a couple minutes of cold after being nuzzled into fleecey goodness for most the journey.) Plus, since the Strittens stay attached to the stroller when you remove your hands, you don't have to worry about losing them—you know, like you typically would gloves when the tuck-them-under-your-armpit-as-you-reach-into-the-diaper-bag move fails you and one cashmere beauty winds up on the curb, blows into the street, gets run over by a taxi, and never again has the pleasure of keeping your left hand warm. Sigh. Yes, Strittens are most definitely the preferable alternative.
