Songman Seal was out and about in New York City with his kids. The group was heading over to Nobu for a little lunch…ah now that’s the life. Seal held hands with 5-year-old Leni and 3 ½-year-old Henry. Henry showed his love for the rock and roll with his retro styled Hey Jude T-shirt by Trunk Ltd.. This limited edition shirt comes in heather grey and features an image of the Beatles, the Union Jack and the words “Hey Jude”. You can get ‘hey’ with a little help from your friends at The Retro Baby for $US39.95.

When I saw the price for this recycled/reinvented children’s chair I had to do a double take. Did it really say £6200.00 GBP ? After looking at the price not once, not twice but three times, I was still in disbelief. First off, I do appreciate artist made recycled items. This 50s children’s swivel chair has been revitalised by Apyrl Miller Studios with a loud mix of vintage Pucci inspired patterns. The back features hearts from a Queen of Hearts costume found at a flea market and ‘love’ ribbon framing the bottom.
But the big question is - why is something for a child and that is recycled so expensive? Yes, it does look like a whole lot of work was put into it but $US10,000 worth of work? If you do think the price is right, you can pick up this one of a kind chair right here.
What would you pay for this chair?

For all those little pieces of clutter that add up to yet another trip to the car-wash vacuum, the Mod Mobile’s Auto Trash Bags offer an 8″ x 12″ escape hatch. Each handmade bag is designed for easy placement over your stick shift, across a headrest, or anywhere else you can sling it, and you even get a roll of 15 biodegradable trash-bag inserts to get you started. That should last at least three car trips, right?

We love a good sale, and this one at Little Pinwheel is pretty hard to beat.
The store is offering 40% off winter clothing to make room for spring stock. Brands include Sudo, Itch and Nature Baby.
The gorgeous Apple jumper by Itch, above, is made from cotton knit with a great smiling apple on the chest. Officially it’s girlswear, but I’m calling unisex!

Of course we all know that no Imperial TIE Fighter pilot would ever be forced to share a cockpit with two fellow officers — but as you can see, three’s evidently not a crowd for the TIE Fighter Playhouse. Oddly enough, this is just the way my three boys would end up situated if a toy TIE Fighter were to land on our doorstep tomorrow — minus all the smiles, of course, and a lot louder, which means it’ll probably have to wait.
£44.99 from Play.com, and may the force be with you. [io9]

Our first Little Tikes Cozy Coupe was a sun-bleached-but-still-rugged gem we scored for $5 at a garage sale. By the time baby #3 arrived nearly six years later, Cozy Coupe was still going strong — which isn’t to say we wouldn’t have traded it in for one of these adorable 30th-anniversary editions of the classic ride-on, this time with a pair of bugged-out eyes that’ll have some little ones thinking Cars. Other new features include a removable floor and a rear handle for grown-ups; everything else is pretty much just as we remember it.
$169.00 from DealsDirect, and something tells me you won’t see these at garage sales anytime soon.

A New Zealand company has created a unique baby sleeping bag for mini Houdinis, or babies who like to scratch.
The Peke Moe sleeping ’sack’ is made from breathable brushed cotton. Babies have the ability to learn how to ‘self soothe’, by sucking on their hands (which are covered by the corners of the fabric) and they can develop the skills to sleep ‘unwrapped’! It can also prevent mosquito bites on babies skin as all (except head/face) is covered.
It also comes in a lightweight muslin version for the summer months.
You can order one for $AU57 from PekeMoe.
