Platinum Babies Series Premiere: Save or Splurge
Working with Tara and Andrew was a Baby Planner's dream! As an expecting couple they already had a good idea about what big ticket items they wanted to buy. They had narrowed down the brands, style and attributes they preferred with budget never being an issue. So, my work was truly spent on providing some guidance as to what products would fit their needs best, how to baby proof and prepare for the solid food feeding phase. Scandinavian Child, the distributor for the brands Micralite, Svan, Lillebaby and Beaba are all stellar baby products with beautiful design in mind. Tara and Andrew loved the products we chose because they represented the sleek, simple but still stylish look they preferred in their home. Not to mention every product they chose would last through a second child if they chose to have another baby.

Svan Scooter: A Smooth & Sleek Ride
I've only had the Svan Scooter ($99.95) for a week and already I've received a dozen compliments. My husband was blown away by the sleek, modern design. My twins love how smoothly it rolls. And friends and family who stopped by wanted one for their own kids or as a gift for new parents.

Svan Scooter Review
"I love wooden toys, and I am proud to say that my son loves them too. Recently we had the opportunity to try the Svan Scooter, and let me say that it is a fantastic little ride toy. The shape of this scooter allows children to use their imagination and make this ride toy whatever they would like it to be. My son has pretended that it has been everything from a horse to a truck."

Splurge (L): Henry IV High Chair; $1170
Steal (R): Svan high chair; $250
If you can't bear to park a white plastic monstrosity in the middle of your ultra-mod kitchen, these beautiful blond wood highchairs will help you serve up solids in style. And they'll both prove useful way beyond your diaper-changing days -- they convert to chairs your kid can use until he's a teen. The Svan chair also comes with a choice of wood finishes (if blond's not your thing) and plenty of color choices for the optional seat cushion.

I'm obsessed with our Svan High Chair!
This is now my latest baby obsession. The price point is higher than "average" but what makes it worthwhile is its versatility in comparison to other chairs. This one lasts for years as it grows with your child. It converts into various stages...and can even be used as a computer chair for teenagers. I feel like that alone makes the price justifiable.
...In short, I love it. In fact I'm debating buying a second one since this is actually great for both boys.

Product Review: Svan Chair
I bought a Svan chair ($250) for my youngest son almost 3 years ago, and I'm still convinced it is the coolest high chair out there: it gets the most compliments, keeps my son from climbing out of it or falling out by way of sliding through at the bottom, and most importantly, it is Not Made of Plastic. It comes to you in a flat box (much like some other stylish Scandinavian furniture), and if you can wield an Allen wrench, you can put together a Svan chair. The result is something that looks like furniture retro-modern, Eames-type furniture instead of something that screams "babies live here." It's also durable, cleanable and completely height-adjustable. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Svan chair someday accompanies my son to college.

Svan bouncer blends form, function
Our new favorite find is the Svan bouncer, a thoroughly modern gem crafted from beautiful bent birch and available in a variety of stylish colors from Svan of Sweden. The bouncer is not only beautiful, but functional as well, with a three-point harness and loops to attach toys. The padded seat is machine-washable (a Mamakaze must!) and the sturdy bouncer holds up to 30 pounds 10 more than Totakazes old seat did.
The bentwood frame and attractive fabrics mean this bouncer fits into even the most stylishly appointed home, rather than detracting from the decor. We think William Morris would approve!

It's perfect to help soothe babies to sleep and it folds easily for travel, because trust us-- you probably won't want to leave the house without it.
