One hallmark of a good toy
store is that it transports you to a happy place the minute you walk through
the door. For parents, what makes for a happy place is a clutter-free,
reasonably priced shop that is easy to navigate a stroller through. For kids, a
happy place is one that has something for everyone, from a theater with
princess outfits for dress-up to whole sections dedicated to airplanes,
dinosaurs and robots. Madison Park's new Red Wagon has got all that and more.

How
would you like to spend 6 to 8 months of your life on a diet consisting solely
of pureed fruits and vegetables? Well,
you already have, but you were just a baby and chances are, no one was adding
cardamom, coconut cream, edamame or other flavorful touches to liven things up. Wee
ones graduating to solid food can now say goodbye to creamed spinach and hello
to a smorgasbord of world cuisine such as Tokyo Tum Tum, Baby Dal, Sweetie
Tahiti, or Que Pasa Calabasa, courtesy of Dr. Susanna's World Baby Foods.

National retailer J. Crew did
its homework before deciding to open its new stand-alone kids' store at University
Village earlier this
month. On most days, the outdoor
mall, often referred to as Maternity
Village, bustles with
moms, strollers and kids of all ages. And even during a recession, University Village attracts well-heeled customers who can afford the spendy kids' clothes at Crewcuts.
