The Modern Baby: Part Three

“Most people make the crib the focal point of a nursery since it's usually the biggest piece of furniture, but as a parent I love the glider. It's where I spend most of my time in the room and even though babies grow out of cribs, you never grow out of a great-looking, comfortable glider. My little boy is five and we still read stories in our Oilo glider. The soft, faux leather makes it super easy to clean, so it still looks new.”—Annalisa Thomas. Pictured: Cohen glider. -
“Our play blankets are a great way to make a place for a baby and they are so stylish and fun. I've used them many times at the park, on questionable carpets, and even at the beach”—Annalisa Thomas. Pictured: Triple Band play blanket in stone and citron. -
“One of my first questions about a product is 'how easy would this be to clean?' Or, 'will this make my life easier?' This is actually how we came up with our two-tiered changing pad covers. You just remove the top and throw it in the wash. If you want a different look you can easily change out the topper on the changing pad as well.”—Annalisa Thomas.

“We love our Oilo car seat canopies, which are so functional,” says Thomas. They protect newborns from direct sunlight, dust, and rain (no more balancing an umbrella and a baby simultaneously). Pictured: Car seat canopy in cobblestone. -
“I always say spend money on the big items: Crib, glider, bedding, etc. and save on the accessories. I get tired of my accessories pretty quickly, so I switch them out a lot when I'm ready for a new accent color. If you don't spend a lot of money on the accessories you can easily change out the look of a room without the guilt.” – Annalisa Thomas.
