The Best Gear for your Racerbaby:

This year a few racerchicks are adding to their pit crew - so we've gone out to search for some special gear for the future racerbabies.....  This is what we've found so far:

Gymboree had a racer motif set - need I say more? It is the perfect gift for the racerbaby! Cotton mixes for easy washing - vibrant colors - how can you say no to the subliminal messages such as "First Place" or "Pit Crew"?  The best part is that many pieces are interchangeable with others....as a good racerchick knows - you don't need a lot of clothes just the right kind to mix & match!  Prices were reasonable (especially at the end of season sale) so the pocketbook won't break either.

Next we found this adorable baby suit - at Sears Point.  Softer than soft this "Futuro Pilota" or "Future Racer" roughly translated, jumper will inspire junior to put the pedal to the metal. Ferrari has commissioned a children's line now that not only includes miniature Nomex-looking suits but separates such as T-shirts, and caps in the famous "Fans Club" racerbear motif.  Price ranged from $50-$55US. 

What about the little feet? At a local dollar store we found these checkered flag socks just waiting to be worn!  Junior may have to wait a few years to go-kart but I'm positive these socks can add horsepower when the race toddler needs that boost of speed!  At a dollar US - I'm just sad they didn't come in my racerchick size.

The best part of researching the baby gear for this story was knowing that racerchick Annie and her husband Alan brought a wonderful future racerchick into this world this past week.  Welcome little 9 lbs. Elise and congratulations to the whole Coulthard family!
