FACES: You became a mom for the first time last year. How has being a mother changed your life?
Wiebke: Not too much has changed, except that I’m also awake from six o’clock on weekends. (laughs) Joking aside, being a mother has made me an even more positive person and I have learned to prioritize even better.
F: When choosing your stroller, you opted for the new Xplory X stroller from Stokke. What do you think a good baby carriage should do, and does the Xplory X meet these requirements?
W : For me, safety has top priority, followed by a great design and functionality – for me, these three components are exactly what the Xplory X is all about. As a fashion blogger, design plays a major role, and I think the Xplory X is simply super stylish! Every time I take the little one for a spin, our pram is a real eye-catcher and the perfect companion for the city.
F: What do you find particularly important about the Xplory X stroller?
W : What I particularly appreciate about the Xplory X is the closeness to my baby. Our little man needed a lot of closeness and security at the beginning and loved to spend the day very close to me in the carrier. Some babies quickly feel lost in the low-slung carrycot of other baby carriage manufacturers – but not with the Stokke Xplory X! Even away from the baby carrier, our little son could feel a lot of closeness from us, because the Xplory X is height-adjustable. No other baby carriage on the market offers this.
F: And how does the Xplory X make your new everyday life with baby easier?
W: Thanks to the height adjustment, the height of the stroller can be quickly and easily adapted to the baby’s needs at any time. This means that the little ones can be close to their parents from birth and explore the world at eye level. I also think it’s great that the Xplory X allows you to adjust the height of the carrycot and the handlebar as well as the angle of the handle. Whether dad or grandparents operate the car, everyone will find the ideal setting for themselves!
F: What do you like about the design of the stroller?
W: The iconic shape is unique and both stylish and extremely practical. Thanks to the great variety of colors, there is something for everyone. The sun protection can be easily attached to the canopy with a zipper. We are also big fans of the summer cover, which is very easy to attach. It transports moisture optimally and ensures cooling plus comfort on hot days.
F: What is your favorite trick or mechanism on the Xplory X?
W: I particularly like the fact that the stroller is super easy to drive (even one-handed) and that the accompanying changing bag is so ingeniously integrated into the Xplory X. The changing bag can be easily attached to two holders, and the bag comes with a small pocket to take it out, a changing mat and an insulated compartment on the side. The changing bag can be worn both as a shoulder bag and as a backpack.
F: Did you necessarily have to change your style during pregnancy, or did you continue to wear your favorite labels?
W : I was able to continue wearing almost everything during my pregnancy, except for my jeans and pants. As I’m a big fan of oversized pieces anyway, my baby bump has always fitted well into everything.
F: Last but not least, as a successful fashion blogger, I’m sure you have a few tips on how to stay true to your style even as a new mom.
W : I’m increasingly opting for high-quality basics in simple colors and then combining them with each other. Since becoming a mommy, comfort and casualness have been the most important things for me. For all moms who are standing in front of their closet early in the morning and once again have “nothing” to wear, my advice is to put out an outfit the night before (e.g. when the baby is asleep) – then it will be ready in the morning in no time!
The new Xplory X stroller from Stokke
Let’s face it: a baby carriage doesn’t just have to be fun for the baby. Of course, safety and comfort for the child come first, but Stokke’s Xplory X also delights moms, dads and everyone else who proudly pushes the stroller around with its stylish appearance. There are numerous colors to choose from so that everyone can find their favorite model. The Ferrari among baby carriages also impresses with its various adjustment options to adjust the height of the carrycot and the handlebars. The water-repellent canopy ensures that outings in the rain or strong sunshine are also fun. The changing bag supplied with the pram fits in perfectly and makes it easier to take everything that babies need with them.
