Here are some of the brands sold at Aux petits pas. Some of them are exclusive.

Bugaboo

Bugaboo was the first company to introduce modular strollers. The Bugaboo Cameleon 3 has many original features and is built to last! Bugaboo, has been teaming with top designers, including Marc Jacobs, Missoni and Diesel to make no compromise on style. Cameleon 3 can be used for children up to three years and is convenient in the city as well as in the country thanks to the robustness of its rear wheels and front-wheel suspension that fit the weight of your child. Its manoeuvrability and unique design also make it perfect on sidewalks and in public transport, which gives it a distinct advantage over its competitors.

Bebecar

At Aux petits pas, you will find the amazing Bebecar collection of beautiful and practical strollers for all occasions. Because the Bebecar Group continuously designed and manufactured its products in Europe for the past 45 years, it maintained its reputation to build safe strollers, comfortable, innovative and unique design. This year’s collection is no exception.

Bebecar believes it’s important for a baby to remain in a horizontal position and to maintain eye contact with his parents during his first few months. That’s why all their strollers’ seats are reversible to be used from birth to the age of four. To meet the needs of modern parents, Bebecar has developed various types of chassis, such as the Urban model, Off-Road, Sport and Hybrid.

Tripp Trapp scalable high chair

The Stokke Tripp Trapp chair is just fantastic. This is a very versatile chair in which a 6-month-old will be just as comfortable as a 10-year-old. The chair is made of wood and is therefore easy to clean. Timeless, this model has existed since 1972 and is still trendy today. Its clean lines can match both traditional and modern designs and the chair is available in several colours.

Supporting up to about 300 pounds, it can later be used as a dinner chair or as a desk chair in your child’s room. It is a perfect height and is equipped with a harness that will firmly hold a young child during meals. Finally, the chair is equipped with a seven-year warranty if you register your Tripp Trapp online.

Home collection

Stokke Home consists mainly of four parts for the nursery that evolves as your child grows: the crib, the cradle, the changing table and the dresser. The side panels of the crib can be removed when the child grows to turn it into a playhouse or a sofa.

The Stokke Home cradle is simple and lightweight, perfect for a bedroom. As your child grows, the cradle structure can be used with the changing station to form a desk. The Tripp Trapp highchair can then be used as a desk chair to complete the homework corner.

Finally, the Stokke Home dresser is a classic wood dresser with a timeless look. It can be used as a changing table as well as storage.

Bouton jaune addresses childhood with elegance and simplicity

BRITAX B-Safe 35

The safety features of the B-Safe 35 offer excellent protection against lateral impact while making the seat easier to install and use.

Also, it fits most babies from 4 lbs. to 35 lbs.

CLEK Foonf

Rear-facing car seats offer the best protection for children and the CLEK Foonf is one of the few car seats that can be used rear-facing with children up to 40 lbs The Foonf also features crumple zones through its “React” security system to reduce the impact in a frontal collision. It has two metal frames and is padded on the sides to reduce side impacts and is equipped with an anti-rebound bar designed to maintain a stable seat during a collision, while preventing tipping. The height of the seat shell is 26.5 in, while most are 23 or 24 inches. Again, it allows the seat to stay longer in the rear position.

Uppa Baby Mesa

The Mesa is the only infant car seat with self-retracting connectors. Its level indicator shows when the seat is correctly installed and it’s very easy to install! Another advantage of Mesa is the fact that it is recommended for small babies, even premature babies (4 lbs and over).
