Favorite OC Spots To Stroll With Your Baby

Stroller Suspenders, the latest “must have� product for moms and babies, offers tips to successful strolling and their favorite spots in the OC to stroll with your baby. Stroller Suspenders is an innovative patent pending strap and clip that is designed to secure a baby blanket in a position to cover the stroller for warmth, shade or privacy.

Strolling Tips

Travel Light! Don’t bring a huge bag with all of the baby’s things. A big bag hanging on the back of the stroller will weigh you down and get in the way.

Don’t pack the playroom. Try not to bring toys unless they are strapped to the stroller. It is no fun if you have to keep stopping to pick up a dropped toy.

Think Shade. Shade your baby in the sun or while they are sleeping. Use Stroller Suspenders to secure your blanket to the stroller and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Quench that thirst. Bring a bottle or sippy cup and a small snack. All kids inevitably get hungry or thirsty. And this can help you avoid meltdowns and stave off hunger pains before lunch arrives.

Play a game. Use this time to educate and talk to your baby. Point out things on your walk like the garbage truck, boats, dogs etc.

Favorite OC Spots to Stroller

Balboa Island – When in doubt, this is our “go to� walk. Not only is it beautiful to be right on the bay, but if you do both Islands it is almost 3 miles. Kids love the boats, dogs and the Balboa Island Fire Station. Reward yourself with a latte afterwards.

The Castaway’s Loop – This is an easy walk that lets you feel the ocean breeze while getting a great view of the Harbor. Bonus: After your walk, stop at the Bob Henry Park for some extra play time.

Dana Point Harbor – Stroll along this scenic path and watch the ships roll in.

The Circle in Old Town Orange – From the vintage Drug Store fountain shop to the beautiful antiques and made over service station turned café, this is a great place to stroll, shop and get a taste of OC history.

Irvine Regional Park – Stroll along with the wild peacocks through the beautiful oak tree lined paths then take a ride on the train and/or the ponies, play at one of the many play areas, have a picnic lunch and don’t leave without visiting the bears at the Zoo!

Main Beach in Laguna - No place is better for an early morning or late afternoon walk than this beach but you must have a good running stroller so your wheels don’t get stuck in the sand.

Woodbridge Lake, Irvine – The kids will get a kick out of feeding the ducks and swans as you stroll lakeside in Irvine.

Mission San Juan Capistrano – Take in some of California’s rich history, stroll the great shops and restaurants along Camino Capistrano.

Crystal Cove – If you are looking for a short stroll, park your car and walk down to the beach, making a stop at the Beachcomber for breakfast, lunch or dinner or just play on the sand. Don’t be fooled by the short distance. The walk up the hill to get back to your car will have you feeling the burn.

Your neighborhood – For when you need to quickly get out of the house before the kids meltdown, walk around your own neighborhood. It is the best way to get ideas for your future dream home and get fresh air at the same time.
