ABC Kids Expo 2024 Recap – New Car Seats, Strollers & Baby Gear!

New Carseats for 2024 & 2025

Kecia and I hit the ABC Kids Expo 2024 running. We had a jam-packed two days meeting with manufacturers, seeing new products we can talk about (and a few exciting ones we can’t talk about 😉). Every show we go to there are definite trends and this one was no exception. See if you can pick up on this year’s theme!

Britax/Romer

Britax brings it’s Euro brand, Romer, to the States and Canada. Romer, pronounced with a long ō, is a luxury brand, similar to Dorel’s Safety 1st/Maxi-Cosi line. Their story is about making mindful choices.
