Simple Soles
 A baby is like the Bermuda Triangle. There are a lot of unexplained disappearances, particularly in the sock department. Babies make a habit of kicking their tiny socks off, leaving a trail of orphans around town.
Something a little sturdier and fidget-proof is in order. Boo Baby slippers by Modern Basics has a Velcro strap that keeps restless feet inside soft canvas slippers, nestled against a comfy terry-cloth lining. These rubber-soled slippers come in pink, blue, green and brown and feature sleek embroidered designs of frogs, hippos, and dragonflies. The textured rubber sole minimizes sliding for new little walkers in two sizes: 6 to 12 months and 12 to 18 months. And unlike their leather counterparts, these slippers are machine washable.
The same streamlined, non-fussy images adorn Modern Basics' baby bedding. Fleece blankets, reversible bumpers and crib quilts are sophisticated alternatives to looking babyish and overdone. (Just like baby socks, a life-size mural of Humpty Dumpty may seem like a good idea.)
Luckily these designers have done all the thinking for you. Let them lead you out of the danger zone.
