Pregnant! How did
you share the news?
> about us
Enjoying
life’s journey
in so many ways
Being pregnant is a big thing and announcing the news to your family and friends
evokes happy, surprised and touching emotions. How did you share the big news?
Everyone at Bébé Confort feels privileged to do what we do. Privileged to be involved in
moments of enjoyment between parents and their children. Not every company can say
that they are in the business of creating happy moments. It’s an attitude that prompts
us to say in our communications to parents “your new life”.
It is this unique relationship between Bébé Confort and its
customers that has fostered a rather special corporate culture.
One that encourages Bébé Confort people to not only care
for their customers but care for their community as well.
On an organizational level, this culture also helps guide
strategy and decision-making.
Peter & Chris
"I told him in
January, we’ll be

Fanny & Cyril
"We spoke about it during
Thanksgiving, all the family was
here, and we found it perfect to
announce the big news before
enjoying a good meal."
Care for the environment
For example, many Bébé Confort people give their
spare time to organizations such as “CliniClowns” and
the “Theodora Foundation” - initiatives that work for the
well-being of children in hospitals. Bébé Confort and
its parent company are also sponsors of these – and
other charitable activities. You can read more about
how we get involved on www.bebeconfort.com >
about us > our engagements > social-responsibility.
4
Our caring commitment also expresses itself in our
sustainability activities. We believe it is our responsibility
to protect our world for our children and their children.
And we do everything possible to minimize the impact
our products have on the environment. Bébé Confort
uses the latest life-cycle analysis assessment tools
(LCA, also known as eco-balance, and cradle-to-grave
analysis). These are techniques to assess and minimise
the environmental impacts associated with all the
different stages of a product’s life. If you’d like to read
more on this, visit: www.bebeconfort.com > about us >
our engagements > environmental engagement.
You too can get involved. See us on our website or on Facebook

Dear Grandma and Grandad…
Ever since you’ve heard that you were about to become grandparents, you
haven’t stopped asking what you could buy us to help out. While surfing
the web we came across a few ideas - the Bébé Confort wishlist.
The safest car seat
family, 2wayFamily
Top rated safety and one-click
fitting. We only need a single 2wayFix
base unit to fit the Pebble and 2wayPearl
car seat. This will give us a total of 4 years
of rearward facing ISOFIX safety and
ease of use. We like that!

Easia
Doesn’t this carrier look cosi when
we - or you - go out with the baby?
The integrated Physiological Cocoon
of the Easia baby carrier emulates
the natural foetal position to ensure
baby’s absolute comfort. It also will
feel twice as light to carry our baby.
About Stephan:
About Jalil:
When my partner was done with the few trips
between the hospital and our home with the
various luggage and gifts, the three of us stepped
outside and we felt like it was the start of a new
life. The weather was great. We were so proud just
going around the neighborhood as a family. We
had chosen a Bébé Confort car seat for the first few
months, I found it more comfortable for the baby,
and for our first car trip it was very easy to set up,
I have to admit we had done some serious
practicing beforehand. Gerard & Maria
I knew how to use the stroller. The Bébé Confort Elea
is very easy to use, especially since my sister already
had the same model. Paul & Prune
Bringing our baby back home wasn’t
stressful at all, we were ready.
I was so happy! Becoming a parent it’s
the start of a new life!
About Carolina:
It felt almost surreal to bring our baby back
home, we were so excited after all that time spent doing
and undoing the infant car seat, making sure we’d be
ready for D-day. This time there was really someone in that
seat, our baby looked so small in it, it’s at that moment
we fully realized we were parents. Matt & Francisca

> dad’s story
Shopping
blues
With Billy & Emma >
I really don’t like shopping. I always
manage to say the wrong thing at
the wrong time.
Especially when my wife steps out of the fitting room.
As a result, I try not to speak. And I try not to think about
what I could be doing. I just hang around until she’s done.
I call this feeling the shopping blues. So when she asked if
we could go shopping for baby things, alarm bells started
ringing. But fortunately, it didn’t turn out so bad.
The first time I entered the baby shop, it gave me quite
a start. All these women with their huge round bellies
running around the shop. Like they could give birth at
any moment…
�The men were invisible at
first, but looking again, I noticed
they followed the women at
a short distance.�
8
Slowly and tentatively. Listening and nodding.
Like they were just hanging around. The shopping blues
were written all over their faces. It is good to know that
you’re not alone. I also noticed couples who were only
just pregnant. Their child-like innocence, their euphoric
mood, as they sauntered along the shelves.
That’s how we were too, my wife and I. Walking hand in
hand, like equals, gazing in wonder at the multitudes of
baby products. Laughing about the cutest baby clothes.
Have you seen these baby sports shoes? So touchingly,
endearingly sweet. I know they’re not meant for running
the marathon, but just try to control yourself when you’re
holding these tiny Nikes in the palm of your hand? I’ll tell
you, I couldn’t. Despite fierce protests from my wife,
my first purchase was a little dog. It had the cutest brown
eyes and lovely long soft ears and the cuddliest face
you’ve ever seen. I can just picture our child dreamily
sucking on its smooth black nose. Lightly, like a woman,
I run my fingers through the baby clothes. At least, that’s
how I imagine myself to look. In fact, it’s a little more
complicated than that. For instance, last week, I came
home with the cutest little baby summer suit. And by
the time, our baby would fit into it, summer would be
long gone. Luckily I’d kept the receipt. I should have kept
the one for the nappies as well. A nappy’s a nappy, you
would think. Well, think again.
These are the small setbacks I’ve suffered.
But I am refusing to slip back into the blues.
�It’s just too much fun.
So I decided to take the best of
both worlds and combine an old
hobby of mine with a brand-new
one: wheels.�
In this case, wheels for the baby. Although it’s early days
yet, I have examined every available option. Carefully,
I check the carriage work. How many wheels? Three or
four? I weigh up the pros and cons of all options. How
fast can it go? What’s the maneuverability like? I carefully
check the tire profiles. How will it handle in the woods?
Or on sandy beaches? I take my new role very seriously.
I travel far and wide to visit test courses. I take buggies for
a trial run whenever I can. And all the time, my wife says
nothing. She just looks at me with a vacant stare. In fact,
it looks rather like the shopping blues.

Which
stroller
suits you?
Our strollers
in the spotlights
Quick compact folding and even lighter stroller.
The new, improved Loola can recline totally flat. It’s easy to fold and store, and
fits in the tiniest of places. You will find it effortless to push, even with just one
hand. And because of the flexible travel system, the Loola is the best way to give
your baby great rides from birth up to the age of 3.5 years.
Streety
Plus
Make it fit your situation
Make it easy on yourself
Did you know that in baby’s first year, you will
probably walk a total of around 1,000 kilometers?
So it’s important you choose a good quality
stroller that will not let you down. Also take into
consideration how you use your stroller: in or
outside the city, do you travel by car or use public
transport? What is your housing situation? When
you live in an apartment building without a lift,
it makes more sense to go for a lightweight and
compact stroller.
The stroller is an item you’ll use every day, so
choose one that’s most practical for you. Is it easy
to steer? Is the pushbar adjustable in height to
fit you and your partner? For your child’s comfy
afternoon nap, check if the stroller has a soft
padded seat and a fully-flat recline position. A good
stroller will enable you to switch the seat in a few
seconds, so that your child can face you or face
forwards.
How do you use the stroller?
Strollers with suspension and large wheels are
great for off-road walks. Urban life is best navigated
in a (compact) stroller with smaller swivel wheels
to maneuver around the crowds. A good stroller
will have swivel wheels that you can lock. If you’re
a frequent user of public transport, you’ll often
need to lift and (un)fold the stroller, so a compact,
lightweight stroller or buggy is your best choice.
One that folds quickly to a self-standing unit, to
store out of the way on the bus. If you are traveling by
car often, make sure the stroller has a compact
folding system so it easily fits your trunk.

Which accessories do
you need?
Besides the suncanopy and raincover that are
included, you also need a parasol, a footmuff,
carrycot and a nursery bag. These are all usefull
accessories for your stroller.

I never expected taking home my
newborn baby would be such a
moving experience.
training. Everything will come naturally.” I go over all
the self-reassuring arguments that I have thoughtup over the past months. I remind myself that I’m
probably better prepared than most other first-time
mothers. I’ve read all the books. I’ve seen the DVDs.
It’s not so hard. Slowly, confidence returns.
But for me, the car trip home from the hospital
was an unforgettable emotional rollercoaster.
And although it was more than three years ago,
I can remember it as if it was yesterday.
�I’ve had no training! No one
has even asked if I am capable.
Yet I’m totally responsible!�
As we walked to the car, the nurses waved and
it seemed as though we were still under their
expert guidance. Everything was right in the world.
We had a beautiful little boy. I was taking him home.
And my husband was by my side. But the instant
I closed the car door, it struck me like lightning:
“Wow, I’m taking this tiny human home with me.
I’m responsible now. Responsible for feeding him,
changing his nappy, bathing him, dressing him…
But I’ve had no training! No one has even asked
if I am capable. Yet I’m totally responsible!”
I pick-up Bill’s phone. There are already plenty of photos
of Ricky on there. I flip through. Mostly, he’s sleeping and
sometimes crying. But always beautiful. A warm glow of
satisfaction and pride builds up inside. Flipping through
the phone photos there’s a close-up of Ricky’s hand
clutching Bill’s finger. Such a tiny, little hand. “What if it
gets trapped in something? What if I didn’t secure him
properly in the baby seat and one of the buckles is loose
and he inserts a finger in it and it gets jammed and…
What-the-heck am I thinking? I’ve never been hysterical
in my life,” I tell myself. “Get a grip.”
The clunk of the car door shutting seemed to
have disconnected me with the hospital, and
I was overwhelmed with a totally unexpected
feeling of being alone. Fortunately, my husband
Bill was, as always, perfectly at ease with everything.
And as we pulled out of the car park, Bill turned and
smiled at me, he put his hand on my knee and said:
“It’s just you, me and Ricky now.” “Exactly!” my brain
screamed. “It is just us. And you’ve had no training
either! What are we doing?” “Get a grip!” I tell myself.
“This is so unlike you. Everything is going to be OK.
And how hard can it be anyway? You don’t need
I ask Bill to stop the car so I can sit next to Ricky in
the back. His face is that of a pure angel. I can’t stop
staring at him. Just looking at him makes me feel happy.
I’m no longer thinking about anything – just looking.
He was asleep the whole time during that trip
back home. I, on the other hand, had experienced
my first ever (and until now only) mild anxiety attack.
But after talking to other first-time mothers, it’s not
uncommon to feel a range of emotions when you take
your first born home in the car. So be prepared, and if
it happens to you, just get in the rear seat and stare.

Breast, bottle
Enjoy feeding
your baby
or both!
If there’s one thing for sure, breastfeeding is something visceral and will have important
repercussions for your relationship with your baby. The basic idea is to feel at ease so you
can create a strong and serene bond with your newborn.
Breastfeeding, which is strongly recommended by
most professionals and various organizations, helps
you create a unique bond with your baby. It’s the best
way to ward off infections and the most natural way
of developing a baby’s sense of taste. Future mothers
tend to picture it as something innate that will happen
instinctively. Indeed it can be that easy! Or not; it all
depends: a lack of milk, for example, engorgement,
cracks, or a baby who refuses the breast. There are all
sorts of situations. Make sure you are as informed as
possible to avoid too many surprises. Always keep in
mind that this is all as new to your baby as it is to you,
and that you will both need three to four weeks to find
your bearings.

"I was in labour a very long time and ended up having
a C-section. It was very draining both physically and
mentally, so my breasts didn’t produce enough milk
for my little glutton of 4270 gramms! But thanks to
breastfeeding combined with formula feeding, I was
able to give her the little milk I had – which is better than
nothing! – and with the formula, I was reassured that

do everything that pleases him – that’s why it is particularly important at this stage to
have decorative designs on mealtime items to catch his attention and charm him.
4/9 months - Weaning
At this stage parents help their baby discover new tastes and new kinds of food. Parents can’t help
feeling a little apprehensive. Questions such as ‘Are the materials secure and reliable? Will my baby
like what I’ll be introducing? Will he accept this change’ are common concerns.

Recent research has confirmed that babies are
safer in a rearward facing seat up to the age of at
least 15 months. Only then is the child’s neck strong
enough to withstand the impulsive force of an
average forward collision. That’s why the new i-Size
regulation clearly requires using rearward-facing
seats for all babies up to the age of 15 months.
If a baby travels in the car facing forwards, the
relatively heavy head is unrestrained in a forward
collision – the head will be thrown forward. This can
cause serious neck and head injury. Rearward facing
restrains the head and spreads the impact over a
greater area.

ISOFIX is an international system, which provides
the safest, simplest and quickest method of correct
installation of a child car seat. Instead of using the
regular car seat belt, the ISOFIX system secures
the baby seat to the car chassis via two specially
incorporated anchor points behind the car seat.
Longer rearward facing
travel is safer

It sounds easy, but it’s easily done incorrectly:
installing the seat in the car. Research has shown that
80 percent (!) of parents make mistakes in installing
the car seat or fastening their child into the seat. 20
Percent of these mistakes endanger the life of the
child in an accident.
ISOFIX also helps reduce the forward and sideward
movement of the seat because of the 3rd anchor
point like the top tether or the support leg. For the
past 10 years, EU legislation mandated that all new
cars must have ISOFIX anchor points as standard.
Hence, currently approximately 60% of all cars on
the road have ISOFIX anchor points.

What is the best
car seat for my child?
You are pregnant and are going to shop for the best
car seat because you’re preparing for the first ride.
But what is your focus? When is it time to switch to
the next stage car seat? And having all those choices
doesn’t make it any easier for you. So, what is the
best car seat for your child? The best car seat is
one that fits your child, fits your car(s) and is easy
to install and to use. Here are some useful tips and
recommendations to help you decide for every age.
Enjoy your car seat
The highest ratings in independent safety test
clearly show that Bébé Confort car seats guarantee
the best safety for your child, in any age category.
The Group 0+ baby car seats are compatible with
and colour match Bébé Confort strollers to create
a smart (looking) travel system.
Go online and find out more how
you can choose the right car seat.
Don‘t forget to check out the checklist!

For toddlers only
In the car, your baby is safest when travelling in a
rearward facing seat until 13 kg (approx. 15 months).
Keep your baby in a rearward-facing seat as long as
possible. Switch to a toddler seat only when the top
of your baby’s ears reach the top of the baby seat.
As your child grows
It may seem a long way off, but time flies! Around
your child’s 3rd birthday, you will still want your child
to be well protected on trips to school, playdates,
football club, ballet class and many more outings!
The lightweight child seats of Bébé Confort are
easy to switch between cars. For your growing
child’s seating comfort, the seats are adjustable in
height and width. The cool designs are geared to
school-age kids with a mind and style of their own.

This extended rearward-facing provides better
head and neck protection. In a forward collision,
the impact is spread across the whole body and
the head is cushioned - not thrust forward. This
is especially important for babies since they have
a relatively large head and weak neck. i-Size also
provides better side-impact protection because,
for the first time in a child car seat regulation, i-Size
includes a specified level of required protection
against side impacts.
One other big improvement is that i-Size will help
prevent up-sizing too soon, because it has a clear
specification for rearward-facing up to at least
15 months and sizes in cm instead of kg.

"To create a new Bébé Confort style – one that
appeals to customers - we start by immersing
ourselves in all kinds of trends from different
but related fields,” says Constance Gerris, Dorel
European Styling Manager. “We survey and
investigate trends in fashion, art, architecture,
and more. Books, magazines, webinars and blogs
are all source material. We also sharpen our
understanding with analysis from full-time trend
forecasters and, of course, by understanding
our own customers’ preferences by analysing
our own sales patterns. We saturate ourselves
with all this input, and then we choose the
trend that applies most to our customers a choice that is based on experience
and intuition.�

�That’s how the ‘Graphic Crystal’ collection
started,” explains Mireille Kraneveld, Lead
Stylist. “We knew that the World Wide Web
plays a big part to young peoples’ lives, and
has done so for many years. But recently the
convergence between the physical world
and the cyber universe has accelerated
tremendously – thanks mainly to smart
phones, tablets and Wi-Fi.
Modern Black

T he Original Bag
Nowadays, interacting with friends is
instantaneous, at any time of the day or night,
in any place. This notion of living in a digital
web inspired us to create the Graphic Crystal
collection, featuring a digitalized pattern. A
design that suggests continuous connection
and interaction from anywhere to anywhere
else - just like the digital world.�
�That’s the creative side,” says Constance.
“But we also carefully look at fabric quality
issues. The fabric needs to be comfortable and
safe as well as being able to stay in shape for a
perfect fit. A car seat cover isn’t very good if it
loses its shape after the first wash. Also we try
to constantly reduce the environmental impact
that our fabric production has, you can read
more about that in the ‘About Us’ section
of our website.�
