<p>As mentioned in previous posts, I'll be doing lots of baby product reviews this winter and spring. So we were pretty excited when our first stroller &ndash; the <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/stroller/stokke-xplory-concept.aspx">Stokke Xplory</a> &ndash; arrived in the mail. We purchased the <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/nursery/stokke-sleepi-bed.aspx?_s_icmp=s12cB948">Stokke Sleepi </a>crib and <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/nursery/stokke-care-changing-table.aspx">changing table</a> for our nursery nook (bought from <a href="http://www.giggle.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-giggle-Site/default/Default-Start">here</a>), so we've been big fans of the brand for quite awhile.
