Jeremy Scott for CYBEX

Pram face: Jeremy Scott with one of his designs

Take one fiendish NYC designer with an eye for the garish and throw him together with a kids' buggy brand CYBEX and what do you get? The brilliantly kitsch new range by Jeremy Scott for CYBEX. Not the most expected of collaborations, but Scott, who is known for putting angel wings on Adidas trainers and creating outlandish outfits for Lady Gaga, rose to the challenge. 'I have so many friends who are young mothers and knowing how they struggle to find something that they feel is cool for their babies; it just felt like a natural fit to me, to design something that I could give as a gift to my friends.' Scott used the idea of a food fight to create culinary-inspired characters, including the delightful Sodapop Girl. We love the results – these buggies will certainly stand out among the identikit rows of Bugaboos at the local Stay and Play centre.

Available exclusively from Selfridges from June 1.

Little Hanbury - a new website for boys

Patch hoodie by ESP No1, £49

There are numerous great online fashion shops for little girls but hardly any dedicated purely to boys' style. Mum and creative thinker Sarah Elek spotted this gaping hole in the market and decided to fill it with a new website for tiny tykes (from 2-10 year olds). She has sourced a lovely selection of stylish pieces including Urbanears headphones, patterned Happy Socks (in super-cute tiny sizes) and fashion for mini hipsters by labels like Imps and Elfs and a CLB fave, Tootsa MacGinty. It's not all about just looking good though – Elek, mum to an active boy herself, knows that the items she's picked need to withstand the rough and tumble and multi-washes. At last, a one-stop shop for style-conscious boys (and their mums). Just add mud. www.littlehanbury.co.uk

Happy Socks, £10

Numbers watch by O Clock, £34.98

Plattan headphones by Urbanears, £50

Who Am I T-shirt by Imps and Elfs, £19.99

Scooby Doo – style icons for a four year old

Velma, Fred, Daphne, Scooby and Shaggy

Have you ever thought of the Scooby Doo crew as style icons? My nearly four-year-old has became obsessed with the dress-sense of both Daphne (red hair, head band) and Velma. Come to think of it, with her bowl-cut, think rimmed glasses and orange roll necks, Velma is the ultimate geek girl icon isn't she? Miss E currently alternates between being 'Daphne', complete with surgically attached headband (which she even wears it to bed) and Velma on the days she's in the mood for wearing socks and plastic play-glasses and feeling a little more demure. Apparently, daddy is Shaggy, Stewy the cat is Scooby and baby sis, Little Lola is Scrappy Doo. So there you have it, the American '70s  cartoon lives on and is still setting trends in our corner of north London. Zoiks!

Little Punk stick-on T-shirts launch

Toddlers aren't always at their most compliant when getting dressed. Miss E, for example, has VERY strong ideas about what she WILL and WON'T wear right now. At the moment anything with a pocket is IN and anything with stripes is firmly OUT. Helen Keenan, mum to a three-year-old thought a solution around the problem might be to incorporate stickers into the routine. Every kid loves stickers after all. She developed a range of T-shirt range with velcro and fabric stickers so children might actually enjoy the process of getting dressed and has just launched her label, Little Punk London. We love the idea but are yet to try them with Miss E though....it's either going to be a case of LOVE or HATE. We'll keep you posted. From £26.99 each at wwww.littlepunklondon.com
