Saturday we went to Baby’s First Furniture again, a store that sells....baby and children’s furniture along with other items like diaper bags and the like. This was our second trip there, albeit a different location as this one was in the Galleria, about 20 miles from our house. A smaller version (boutique) is located much closer and that location is where we picked out the furniture we like (crib and dresser/changing table).
But this location is larger and Tiffany wanted to go there to see if they had anything else we might like. They did have a larger selection, but the trip just confirmed our original choice. It was nice to look around this location though because they did have a wider selection of strollers and highchairs. Later on I realized something, the more difficult a brand is to pronounce, the more expensive it is. This is probably true in many areas, but it’s pretty glaring in baby goods.
They had a stroller, made in Germany, that had some name that started with a “P”. I already forgot the brand, that’s how complex the name was, but I told Tiffany that it must be the BMW of strollers. It was very nice, and not suprisingly cost $600...for just the stroller, it didn’t even come with the infant car seat.
Here’s another one of my favorites. This company makes a lot of items, in fact Tiffany likes their high chairs, but they are not in the same price range as say Graco. I’ve yet to run into a high priced item with a one syllable name.
Clearly you haven't heard of the Baby Bjorn...it's only one syllable, but it's got an umlaut, so surely that counteracts its simplicity.
ReplyDeleteLauren, everyone has heard for the Baby Bjorn, it's just the exception that makes the rule. Or should I just say the "fancier" the name, the better which is what you seem to suggest with your second point. Don't use such "fancy" words on my blog either! :) They don't talk that way where you are now anyway.
