Just because you've become a mother doesn't mean you have to become serious and give up your style. That's the motivation behind Jeremy Scott's unlikely collaboration with Cybex, the infant and baby gear company, that was announced earlier this week. The designer best known for placing Bart Simpson-patterned clothes on his runway models and pink teddy bears on Adidas sneakers has created a fun, playful collection filled with animated snack foods ready to duke it out.

Hours before introducing his new Food Fight design, two editors and I were invited to sit down with Jeremy at London's Shoreditch Studios to discuss his inspiration, the moms he designs for, and what he thinks of the criticism of his friend Kanye West's pregnant girlfriend.

PopSugar: You just designed a Smart car and now a stroller. Do you have a thing for wheels?
Jeremy Scott: I would think the connection is that I love the idea of branching out into all kinds of design. For instance, I am the first designer ever to design a car now. Everything else has been an interior fabric . . . to have my designs go into a larger kind of spectrum in that sense. That's one of the reasons I agreed to do the collaboration with Adidas — to open that further. But then to do cars and strollers and next things, it's very fulfilling. I love the idea of my work touching people's lives in different ways. So much of high fashion can be so insular. As much as I love it, it, just by nature, is so insular. I like how these things can be parts of people's lives in different ways.

PS: You actually changed the exterior of the Smart car. Is there anything you'd change if you could create your dream stroller?
JS: If it was all neon and lighting up! There is a lot of safety baby issues, so I had to think about what would make the most impactful punch while not causing any trouble. That's why I decided to go with print more than anything. I just thought, well, it could just speak volumes, and keep babies safe, which is the most important after all.

It was quite a year for baby wearing mamas! Despite a Consumer Product Safety Commission warning about the use of certain slings, moms turned to the fabric carriers to keep their lil ones close and their hands free throughout the day. European-import, Cybex added some style and color to the baby carrier market when they introduced the 2.GO ($98) last year, and now LilSugar readers voted it the best baby carrier of year. Though the Moby Wrap and K'tan carriers waged a strong write-in campaign, the Cybex 2.Go walked away with 54 percent of the vote. The carrier distinguishes itself with a zippered seat that converts into the "spread-squat position" doctors recommend for infants. It also distributes 70 percent of a lil one's weight on its mom's hips, keeping her back and shoulders stress-free, which is something that all mums could use!

Wear your baby in style! Though Baby Bjorn made carriers mainstream, companies like Ergo, LilleBaby and Belle, not to mention all of the sling manufacturers, have given mothers many options.

When we took our first look at the European import Cybex last Spring, we were interested in the 2.Go baby carrier – a cross between the Baby Bjorn and Ergo that comes in bright colors. Working with orthopedists and midwives, the company designed the carrier to place 70 percent of the weight distribution on the hips, rather than the back and shoulders. With five different carrying positions – allowing parents to use it when their child is between eight and 40 pounds – the 2.Go proves versatile.
