Over the next week I will be posting a compilation of updates from the ABC Kids expo for some mommy friends of mine and anyone else who is interested. Since I am not there (but I hope to be someday!), these photos and product details are coming from other baby gear sources who are. I will try my hardest to give photo credits to whom they are due – and if I mess up, please let me know! WordPress is being a little finicky and has deleted a few of the captions…just let me know if there is an issue. I don’t mean to step on anyones toes!
So without further ado – here are your Day 1 ABC Expo updates:
4 Moms
4moms had the most anticipated announcements of Day 1. They announced the release of 3 new products (which are now all available for viewing @ http://www.4moms.com):
1.) The 4 Moms Origami mini – a lightweight, self powered, self folding, iPhone charging stroller
*update: check out a video sneak peak from BabyGizmo here*

2.) The Rockaroo – the tagline for this product is “reinventing the baby swing”. It looks like an update/improvement to the Mamaroo

3.) 4moms infant car seat – it is supposedly installs itself. Apparently it knows when the anchors are attached and tightens and levels itself at the touch of a button.
*update: the self installing car seat is still in early prototype mode, and expected release isn’t until the end on 2014 (and lets be honest…its ALWAYS longer than expected). So if you are currently expecting it may not be ready in time for your baby. So far, it looks like the seat will be rated from 4-22lbs (not that impressive) and will surely be VERY pricey. So…meh.*

Britax
**update: All convertibles that once had a 70 lb limit now will have a 65 lb limit due to new testing standards. They are also dropping the numbers from the end of the seat names. So the Roundabout 55 will now be the Roundabout, the Marathon 70 will be the Marathon, etc. Babies R Us will have an exlusive on an Ultimate COmfort Series of the new G4 seats with memory foam**

Peg Perego
This is the New Peg Perego Book Pop Up stroller. It folds with the bassinet attached and the bassinet collapses with a squeeze.

New Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 infant car seat. More comfortable and lighter than previous model, has inserts for optimal positioning for premies, a no-rethread harness, euro belt route, AND the handle flips to become an anti-rebound when installed without base.
*update: the infant seat is being called the “four thirty-five”. Harness is no rethread. Base includes “right tight” system to ensure proper tightness. Even though it has a high weight limit, it only measures 26″ front to back (similiar to a Chicco key fit) so it wont take up as much front row legroom as some other high limit seats. And it will be 2.2 pound lighter than the older model peg infant seat. It also has a label showing not to put it on top of a shopping cart (!!!).
shown here with preemie sized doll (look how nice the upholstery is!)*

They also have a showercap style cover called the “Igloo”, a cupholder for the convertible seat ($25) and a travel bag for all carseats ($60)
