I was stoked to be invited to a recent luncheon at Chicago's Luxbar, where Maxi-Cosi unveiled their newest car seat, The Prezi, due in late summer.  The Prezi is like no other car seat on the market today with plush fabric, modern style and safety technology inspired by race car engineers!   

Check out Maxi-Cosi's main site for the whole scoop and ordering info.    The Prezi will be available any day now!!

Here at ChiIL Mama, we've raised two urban babies, negotiated some of the country's biggest music fests with a double stroller, and lived the joys and pains of solo public transit travel with a stroller, newborn and toddler.   

Back in the day, when we were looking at baby gear....then double baby strollers and boosters, we waffled briefly between economical and awesome.   My husband piped up and said some words of wisdom that still ring in my ears today.  He said, "I don't cheap out on my work gear.  Raising kids is hard WORK and it's worth the extra cash to get the right gear that'll make your life easier."     

Those proved to be words to live by.  If you want a baby seat and stroller that will be a joy rather than a constant frustration, then check out these cuties.

 

Even celebrities are rockin' the Quinny & Maxi-Cosi look including Charlize Theron, January Jones, Selma Blair, Jenna Fischer, Denise Richards, Kimberly Stewart, Alicia Silverstone, Victoria Beckham, Ali Landry, Paul & Erin Stanley, Tori Spelling, Evangeline Lilly, Tia Mowry, Emily Deschanel and Mary McCormack.   

Everyone loves prezzies and what better gift to give a new mom or mom to be...or yourself for that matter, than a brand new Prezi!
