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!

And we have a small token of our appreciation for our readers! As we walked around the floor, we gathered a few goodies and we’ll randomly pick a winner who gets them 🥳. There’s no prize value for this one since these are items literally left on the booth entrance counters, but you never know what fun or tasty treat you may get! So you don’t miss the scoop on the new gear, read through to the end to see how to enter to win (we know, we’re mean 😆).

Britax/Romer

While Roemer has been available in Europe for a long time, Britax is bringing this Romer brand as a new company for the U.S. and Canada and is separate from the one in Europe. 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.
