About Easywalker

Easywalker was founded in Amsterdam by René Floore in 1989. He left his job at the butchery of his father to develop single handedly the first three-wheel stroller in Europe:  the Easywalker Classic.

With this award winning three-wheel stroller René completely changed the parents view on baby strollers. The stroller not only became suitable for all terrains and for running, but also became an object of desire. And finally also men wanted to walk behind it!

After introduction, the brand rapidly expanded from The Netherlands to the surrounding countries Belgium, Germany and France.

Still based in Amsterdam, Easywalker now serves happy parents in 42 countries and still works in accordance with the philosophy of René, back in 1989: “keep things simple and beautiful”.

Easywalker prides themselves in making products that are easy to use, with clever design and of course highly comfortable for kids and parents. That’s how they Walk the Earth at Easywalker.

WHAT IS A BOLA PREGNANCY NECKLACE

The Bola is a chiming pendant traditionally worn by Mexican mothers-to-be to soothe the baby before and after birth. It is also a memorable pregnancy gift that beautifully highlights a future mother’s curvaceous form!

A SOOTHING PENDANT FOR BABY

Originating from Mexico, this traditionally spherical pendant contains a silver bead which creates a subtle, harmonious sound in time with the wearer’s movements.  Worn on a long necklace by mothers-to-be, the Bola soothes and reassures the baby after the 4th month of pregnancy, with its soft jingling sound. After birth, the familiar sound of the Bola will reassure the baby, especially while nursing or sleeping, reminding him the sweetness of his mother and uterine life.

A BEAUTIFUL JEWELLERY PIECE FOR MOTHERS-TO-BE

Beyond its soothing effect on the baby, the Bola necklace nicely enhances a future mother’ s belly throughout pregnancy. The Bola necklaces are unique pieces, handcrafted in precious materials as gold, silver or pearls. They can be worn all life long, as a memorable pregnancy gift from a future dad and as a symbol of the unique and infinite bond between mother and child.

PALACE SPA

The Gstaad Palace has been renowned for its authenticity, elegance and unique ambience. Thus when designing the spa, the main focus was to create an outstanding wellness oasis which blends perfectly into the overall hotel concept.  The Palace Spa features authentic decor and ambience which radiate a magical charm.

Its exclusive facilities are spread over 1800 m² and include eight treatment rooms, a Private Spa Suite, saunas and steam baths, relaxation areas with incredible views, an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a state-of-the-art gym, a Pilates Studio and a unique hammam experience with seven rooms. With this major investment, Gstaad Palace created an exclusive and extraordinary wellness centre, which exceeds the expectations of even the most discerning spa connoisseurs.

One priority was to bring the mountain feeling into the spa. Therefore a 60-metre-long stone wall was built with granite from the nearby Blausee region in the Bernese Oberland. Over 50 tons of rock were cut into small pieces and assembled into a stunning architectural masterpiece.

Further highlights are the comfortable lounge with its fireplace and the spectacular mountain view.

About Skip Hop | How It Started

In 2003, new parents Ellen and Michael Diamant were a lot like new parents everywhere: overjoyed with the birth of their son, and overwhelmed with so many choices, so little time, and so few solutions that satisfied.

When they searched for a diaper bag that looked great and worked well, they found nothing. So they invented something.

Almost a decade and hundreds of products later, Ellen and Michael are still inventing “everything-in-its-place” solutions that are smart, functional, and great looking to overjoyed, busy parents like themselves.

Today, Skip Hop is a global brand recognized by discerning parents for innovation, great design, and the highest quality in the baby products business.

Smart Kid Scale | Withings

 

SMART KID SCALE

The Smart Kid Scale of Withings is a must-have for every new parent. It’s the first ever connected baby and toddler scale, from birth to 8 years old (up to 25kg / 55 lb). When your kid is old enough to step on the scale – simply remove the cradle.

Establishing a growth chart is one of the few objective ways to assess a baby’s health. It also enables for an early stage detection of any obesity or undernutrition problem.

The Ap

The dedicated Withings app also allows you to keep track of baby or child’s height and nutrition – whether by bottle or breast. In this latter case, you can note which side you last nursed on.

Anytime you want to check that your child’s weight and height follow a regular trend, or you need to update his milk intake, just launch the Baby Companion app.

I’m a huge Withings fan and a happy user of the Withings Smart Body Analyzer Scale. I wished that the Kid Scale existed when my kids were younger. But luckily we now have the Smart Body Analyzer to measure them and it also keeps track of their weight via the Withings app.
