Reviewing Rockridge Kids is hardly digging up a lesser-known little parents' treasure; most moms and dads around here know this toy/kids gear all-too-well, having watched our kids duke it out over the well-worn train table. But be sure to go to the other side of the store, where strollers/car seats/high chairs and other more "durable" child goods are sold, if only to hear from Christian, the lanky red-headed local expert of the parent set. This guy knows EVERYTHING there is to know about anything that allows you to carry, push or otherwise bear your child (excepting, of course, the mother). He is remarkably friendly and goes out of his way to ensure that your child is safe and that you are satisfied. We recently brought a slightly dysfunctional car seat to him, and he came out to the car with us and worked with us for quite awhile to demonstrate just how it should work. I give Christian 5 stars - and that's not just Stanford grade inflation!
