Got CPR?

Diaper bag? Check. 17 changes of clothing (assuming the possibility of 15 colossal accidents and 2 spit ups)? Check. 2 pairs of shoes in case Junior decides their pair of Emilio Lime Livie & Luca slip-ons were simply not their colour? Check.

Think you're ready to head out? Think again.

Of all the things knick knacks parents stow away in their ginormous strollers, the last thing they think about is safety, pure and simple. Heaven forbid an emergency was ever to happen, but if it ever does (knock on wood) it's best you're prepared.

Honest to Blog

Shoppers at baby on the hip come in many shapes and sizes. Yes, we do get the occasional "My wife has sent me for diapers, I am here to buy what she needs," type of in-and-out customer.

But most of the amazing people who walk into our store end up in detailed conversation with our sales associate. We have everything from the "I'm due any minute and I need help finding a baby carrier" kind of customer to the "I haven't slept for 3 days because we need help with feeding" kind of customer.

And then there are those who -- be it because they are too busy figuring out how to turn off the breast pump machine or be it because their waking hour has been changed to 3am -- can not get to the store at all.

That's why we've created our blog: To give you our up-to-the-minute, honest-to-blog truth about what's happening in our shop, news, tips and events.

So cozy up. No dress code in effect. Just read on and enjoy.
