Are You a Crocs Mom?

babysugar — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 06:00:53 -0700

Love 'em or hate 'em, they're everywhere! Crocs have taken tot toes by storm and are still growing and gaining popularity and not just in America. The Japanese are infatuated with the porous rubber shoes as are other cultures. The initial design suited gardeners and the like just fine but the business got sassy and added Mary Jane and ballet flat styles to the mix. Easy to slip on and keep clean, they can also be hazardous in certain situations. They are slippery when wet and they have been known to cause some trauma on an escalator or two. So tell us, are you a Crocs lovin' mom?

Celebabies Have Crocs and Slippers on the Soles of Their Feet

Summer's here and the time is right for lil ones to be dancing in the street. But before they get footloose, they've got to cover their feet and Tinseltown's tots and politikids are embracing two styles this season - laid back casual and dainty sophistication. Crocs are still tops for a number of kiddos with Leni Klum, Apple and Moses Martin and River Deary sporting the ubiquitous non-slip sandals that caused a stir when they first hit playgrounds two years ago. Lil girls looking to add some slip-on style to their wardrobes are shopping the ballet flats at Crewcuts. Sasha Obama boarded Air Force One in a pair and landed in Moscow in another, while Suri Cruise opted for a more wild style while attending the Australian theater.

Celebaby Style: Wyatt Crow

Rocker mama Sheryl Crow couldn't have asked for a better looking stud to pal around with. Her main man Wyatt Crow is turning into quite a looker with chubby lil cheeks, knowing eyes, and sandy blond hair. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this little boy was a clone of his adoring mommy.

Not one to shy away from noteworthy causes, the mama dressed her tot in a tee that reads, "Save some green for me! Drive a Hybrid"! Paired with some colorful madras shorts and some sporty blue Cayman Crocs, this tyke looks ready to soak up the sun.

Go Green: Souls Are United Over SolesUnited

babysugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:00:26 -0700

Tots grow quickly, especially when it comes to clothes and shoes. And most foot-gear is too tattered or torn to be reused by another wee one.

Croc loving parents and kids can now recycle their worn shoes with SolesUnited. To see how the process works, read more.

SolesUnited takes worn Crocs and sorts, cleans, and breaks them down into a material to make fresh SolesUnited footwear. Once created, the new shoes are shipped off to children and adults living in impoverished areas around the world.

To see how you can get involved with SolesUnited, look here.

Caution For Croc-Wearing Kids

Plastic clogs have become a fast favorite of lil kids and their parents who love the convenience of the slip-on shoes, but wearers should take caution.

A New York Times health blog stated that escalator accidents involving the nonskid shoes getting caught in front of or on the sides of the moving steps were reported in Japan and across the nation. It said:

Closer to home, local television stations and bloggers also have reported on several escalator injuries to kids who were wearing Crocs. In August, the blog Wisebread ran pictures of a mangled Croc shoe and a little girl’s bloodied toes, both allegedly the aftermath of an escalator accident. And one website, CrocsAccidents, is devoted entirely to injuries that occur while kids are wearing Crocs.

Do you think shoe style contributes to escalator safety, or is this just a crock?

As if they aren't cute enough, babies also get the best footwear. When it comes to covering your lil walker's toes, what type of shoes do you choose?

Soft slippered Robeez, sandal like Crocs, old school Converse, PediPeds to keep up with celebs, Pumas to run in, cub foot bottomed Pazitos, or See Kai Run for more advanced walkers.

With so many brands and styles to choose from, which pair does your lil one wear?

Seven-Year-Old Breaks into Zoo, Kills Reptiles and Feeds Croc

LilSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:00:07 -0700

Not all seven-year-olds spend their time hanging out in the school yard. A while back, lil Latarian Milton stole his grandmother's SUV and it took it for a joyride plowing through things in his path, but now an Australian boy of the same age has done something even more frightening. The child broke into the Outback zoo and killed 13 reptiles in a rampage some of which he fed to a crocodile. Since he is under the age of 10, Australian law prevents him from being charged with a crime.

Tell Mommy: Does Your Tot Have Her Own Personal Style?

LilSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:00:29 -0800

Suri Cruise may be a number one tot, but she doesn't wear the pants in the family. Tom Cruise recently revealed that his little star only wants to sport dresses, and refuses to put on pants. It may seem like Suri gets what she wants, but any mommy who's given up on getting her three-year-old to wear something other than her princess costume understands that some battles aren't worth waging.

In fact, a friend of mine has been struggling with her own two-year-old's refusal to wear shoes other than her pink tie-dyed crocs. She fears the day it snows and she has to force her daughter to change footwear.

Does your toddler display her personal style? Or does she refuse to wear certain items of clothing?
