BABY, LET'S GO SHOPPING

Shopping at the new Flying Pram is like taking a shopping trip around the world for premiere baby gear and duds. Owner Kimberly Rief's motto: Children's Luxury Around the World.

The Flying Pram carries an incredible assortment of European apparel, toys from Israel, Germany and France, bouncers and high-chairs from Sweden, handmade stuffed animals from Kenya, and the new Mutsy Sport stroller from the Netherlands.

Premier apparel lines include Lucy Sykes and Marie Chantal from New York, Papo d'Anjo of Portugal, Rachel Rieley of London, and Trelise Cooper of New Zealand.

Kimberly conceived the boutique after she couldn't find baby clothes that she liked for her one- and two-year-old children. And she made it her mission to carry all the lines she loved under one roof.

"I pictured a buggy flying all over the world selecting the best apparel and accessories for children," Kimberly says. "My friends shop here, and I have to look them in the eye with confidence that we carry things that not just look good, they're beautifully made, great quality and they wash well."

Personal service is paramount, too. Kimberly's associates set up high-chairs, strollers, and offer deliveries even to Hoag Hospital.

Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. 1576 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa. 949.515.3511.
