Okay, so maybe how to bundle up the kids for the cold isn’t exactly top of mind right now. But we just came across this super-warm stroller blanket and thought, gee, this is perfect for cold-weather and we have to share. If you love going out in the cold but are fearful for your little one’s ability to hang tough, this oughta do the trick.

We found this blizzard-fierce stroller blanket over at Delight. The ergonomic hood (no, we’re not sure what that is either) keeps Junior toasty, as does the thermal fill and the waterproof outer shell. Thanks to zippers, you can widen and lengthen it to fit any carseat, stroller, or child from infancy to pre-K. The pricetag might remind you of cashmere, but for this level of comfort - not to mention the potential lifespan of the blanket thanks to the expansion factor - maybe you’ll be able to justify shelling out that much to keep your precious cargo warm for winter travels near and far.

We had an opportunity to visit New York’s Scholastic Store in Soho recently. As a bookstore specializing in children’s reading, it’s a great destination for visitors and New Yorkers alike. Here’s the 411:

Pros: We’re enamored with the fact that it’s a bookstore, period! In a technological world, it’s nice to see kids reading a book every now and then and Scholastic, a household name in children’s books, has a nice bricks-and-mortar place. The store features reading fare for babies right on up to 12-year olds. And it’s not just straight books - there are dozens of science kits, princess accoutrements from Melissa and Doug, and other story-related paraphernalia.

We like the huge rubbery dinosaur that graces the 6200-square foot floor, providing ample seating for kids who want to read on the spot. There’s also a Magic School Bus area, complete with running TV shows on a built in TV. The store often holds events and readings in its activity loft, reached by stairs and therefore perhaps not so convenient for the stroller-set…

Cons: Speaking of the stroller-set, if you’re visiting this store with a stroller, head for the Mercer Street entrance. The Broadway entrance forces you to navigate stairs - trust us, you don’t want to deal with them.

The biggest drawback here, though, was the restrooms. Did we say restrooms? We meant restroom - as in one. Yes, one, marked “Employees” and fairly screaming “public toilet”. By the time we emerged from holding daughter gingerly over the toilet and changing son’s diaper, there was a long line of people, grumpily commenting on the folly of having one toilet in a large store catering to children.
