StrollerQueen LIVE at ABC Kid's Expo, with Silver Cross prams, strollers, carriages

Continuing with our look at stroller companies that are well-known in Europe, and hope to make a big splash on this side of the pond, today's pick is Silver Cross! It was the first pram my first-born rode in, it's the official choice of the Buckingham Palace gang, and their coach-built carriages are still hand-made in Northern England! What do you think?

StrollerQueen LIVE at the ABC Kid's Expo, with Seed Pli'

 The Seed Pli' was my Halloween stroller a few years back. It's one of those super fun to push all night strollers, which is one of the reasons it made the cut. Not to mention the huge basket, which held at least two pumpkins full of candy.

Then they left the U.S. And now they're baaaaack!  Check out the fold. The wheels actually turn inward, and the flame folds completely flat!

StrollerQueen LIVE! at the ABC Kid's Expo, with Cosatto

 If you like wild prints, you will love Cosatto. In fact, their motto is" "Saving the world from boring baby stuff."  It's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Another great pushing small stroller is the BabyZen YoYo. It's been traveling a lot with me lately, and is performing beautifully.
