THE FAMILY GROOVE: How did you find inspiration for
these wonderful strollers and accessories?
Cynthia Rowley: I have two kids of my own and I kept
wondering why there wasn’t a cool baby stroller that is as fashionable or fashion-y as other things. I wanted to branch out into baby gear and Graco was a great partner because not only are they aware of how important design is but they also wanted to do something for pediatric AIDS.

TFG: How did you get involved with The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGAPF)?
CR: I have been doing their Kites for Kids benefit for like eight or nine years. So I was happy tonight to do this and not be in a room being clocked in the head by a Frisbee or having bean bags being thrown at me or something. So it’s nice that I could do something that is aesthetically pleasing to a lot of moms but also helping to do good things.

TFG: What fashion advice do you have for moms?
CR: There are so many things that you can do that are little things, like in the morning when you have to get up early, instead of putting on sweat pants and sneakers, put on
little ballet flats and a dress. It’s so easy to put one piece on and flats rather than sneakers or flip-flops or something like that. You can carry the little evening diaper clutch. It holds one diaper and some wipes and a lipstick or something and that’s all you need.
