Crocs and Escalators

I don’t like to pass on alarming bits of news, but I thought I’d send along this Fox News article I read about Crocs contributing to injuries on escalators (especially for small children). My daughter loves her Crocs, so I’ll be taking steps to mitigate this danger whenever she wears them at the mall, etc.

Be safe!

Got Crocs? Be Careful on the Escalator

WASHINGTON —

At rail stations and shopping malls around the world, reports are popping up of people, particularly young children, getting their toes caught in escalators. The one common theme seems to be the clunky soft-soled clogs known by the name of the most popular brand, Crocs.

New Stores by Gymboree

 

I just read a blurb about Crazy 8, the new stores by Gymboree with prices to rival Old Navy. There are only a couple of clothing lines right now, but they’re cute and will look very familiar to those of you who follow the regular Gymboree lines. For me the best part (aside from the great “2 for” deals) is that they offer slim (and plus) jeans as small as size 4. The adjustable waist works OK for my daughter, but I’d prefer to do without the extra bulk around her waist.

Ciao!
