THE BABY GIZMO BUYING GUIDE // Chapter designer brands
We have no problem shopping in the snootiest baby stores around. We love the designer brands. But we still get all sweaty palmed when we ‘re asked to refer to some of the fanciest, usually foreign, brands by name. No one wants to pull a Pretty Woman and get laughed out of the store for calling the modernist high chair dream a “Stow-key”. So to spare other moms out there, we present the definitive Baby Brand Pronunciation Guide. Impress your friends! Educate your playgroup! And maybe, just maybe, you’ll actually get to correct one of those uppity store clerks when she mispronounces something. Ah, the joy… Mutsy: MOOT-see; rhymes with boot (strollers from The Netherlands)
