Review of The First Years: Close & Secure Sleeper

The concept of this product is great, but it did not work for us. We have queen bed and with this between us, my husband and I were very uncomfortable.
It requires seperate bedding for me and my husband - this was not very practical for us. We used it a couple of times and then stopped. For the times we used it the baby seemed very comfortable.
This may be more practical if you have a king size bed.

Review of Tike Tech Comfy Padded Seat Insert

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair

We got this chair when my daughter was about 7 months old and now that she is over 2 she still uses this chair every day and enjoys it very much.She has always sat at the table with us, it has always kept her supported and no matter how long food was left on (it's funny how you miss some of the splatters) it was always pretty easy to clean off and I never felt I was going to break the chair from scrubbing, most of the time the disinfecting wipes would do the trick when cleaning after they are done eating.

Yes they are a little bit more money than a standard high chair but think of the cost you are paying for the high chair plus a booster chair and those together are not much less than this chair runs.

At this age we have removed all the straps and our daughter climbs into the chair herself, all we have to do is push it in a little more.She also will use the foot board as a table when she wants to stand and snack or wants a place to put her cup while she's "Walking around the house"

We got the orange for her and now are trying to figure out what color to get our next child, the only thing we won't need to buy is the pads and baby rail as we have those from our first one.We only used the pads till she was about a year, after that she just made so much mess we tried without and she seemed to be pretty comfortable without the padding and have since put it away.

I know when she gets older the chair will be what she ends up using at a desk and can even eventually bring to college or even use with her own children down the line, it really is a piece of furniture that will last a long time!

Review of Leachco Right Angle - Elevated Crib Wedge - Ivory

I bought this b/c my baby had acid reflux and did not like to sleep lying flat on her back.I actually bought a bunch of crib wedges and compared them and this was the best on in my opinion.I like that it has velcro to attach to the crib bars, rather than having to put it underneath the crib sheet like other wedges which is so tight it can never fit.I also use the Ultimate Crib Sheet on top of the mattress so I actually just have the crib wedge directly underneath that.If you don't use the Ultimate Crib Sheet, I'm sure it would be fine to use the wedge directly on top of your mattress.

My baby was better able to sleep in her crib once I used a crib wedge.She stopped immediately crying when I put her in.However, my baby is quite a mover in her sleep, so she does not stay long on the wedge.After a few hours of sleeping, I would always find that she was in another position elsewhere in the crib.But she was like this before too.The wedge did what I needed it to do - let my baby accept being put into the crib.

Review of Bumbo Baby Sitter

A friend gave her (lavender) Bumbo to us, and it's great.I only gave it 4 stars because they should come with trays and/or be less expensive.Also, it cannot be used as a booster seat at the table since there are no straps...sad.

Without the tray, it's good for helping a baby sit, but any active baby will be able to get out, no matter how big or small they are!Keep it on carpet, in sight, and (for heaven's sake!) on the floor.When my daughter was very little, she would "arch" out backwards, although her preferred exit method became a sort of sideways cartwheel as she got older.At 14 months, she still likes sitting and kicking in her special chair.

With a tray, it would be great for feeding/snacking at home in the kitchen.The tray pops on very tightly so your baby can no longer escape.His/her own weight will keep it from tipping over, but - still - stay close and don't set it anywhere but the floor!!!Bonus: it wipes clean easily - no little nooks/crannies!

It's not a bouncer, a bath seat, or even a booster, but it is a nice comfy chair for your little one.If you can afford to get this as well as a booster seat or high chair, I recommend it.(You can always put it on your registry and let Grandma decide...:-)

The Bumbo infant seat is manufactured to the highest safety standards from low-density foam material, which helps make these baby seats lighter and more portable.The seat is soft and comfortable for the baby.The Bumbo Baby Sitter is safe, hygienic and non-toxic with an integral outer skin of durable, easy to clean material. The Bumbo Baby Sitter baby seat is versatile and does not require any uncomfortable straps or fasteners and is designed so baby's own body gently keeps it in place.The Bumbo Seat should only be used on a flat ground level surface and should not be used until your baby is fully able to support its head. Depending upon the individual development of the child, some babies will be able to climb out of the Bumbo seat so never leave the child unattended.

Product Description:
SnugFleece Wool Crib Mattress covers, simply the most superior virgin wool cover in the industry. Nestle into the gentle embrace of quality, plush wool covers! Wool has an inherent ability to act as a natural thermostat. It is unique in the way it handles temperature and moisture, adjusting throughout the night to accommodate your fluctuating body temperature. Heaters and electric pads just can't do that! In summer you snooze cool because of wool's ability to wick moisture away from you on muggy, hot summer nights. A single fiber can absorb 30% of its weight in body vapor thus cooling you down. No more sticky sheets!In winter you doze cozy because wool is a natural insulator. Air spaces between the fibers trap body heat and circulate warm air next to your body. You are warm on the coldest nights. Wool covers are exceptional on waterbeds too. By absorbing excess moisture, they prevent that clammy feeling commonly associated with waterbeds. Slip a SnugFleece Wool Mattress Cover under your sheet and get ready for a perfect nights sleep. All SnugFleece covers have 2" elastic "SnugStraps" and come in standard bed sizes.

Review of Knit Double Headrest - Ecru

I purchased these because a couple of my baby's items did not have head rest/supports in them ( Eddie Bauer bouncer, Fisher Price Linkadoos swing). I almost spent more money on the elaborate ones, but I am glad I did not. This pack only costs about $11.00 for 2 (1 small, 1 large).

When my daughter was a newborn, she was very tiny. So for the longest time, I only used the small one. Once she hit 2 months, I started to use the large one. Now that she is 5 months, she really no longer needs them, but I don't regret buying this product at all. There are loops in these head rests, but I had no use for them. I believe that's for an infant carrier. The Eddie Bauer Latch 22 manchester print comes with one.

Go ahead and peak at all my reviews. I tell it like it is, I don't favor a brand or product. I keep it factual.

OVERALL: 5 stars

Review of Lug Koie Puddle Jumper Overnight , travel, gym or diaper bag with pockets galore, and many colors!

I thought this bag would solve all my travel problems--carry a thin laptop, in-flight necessities, and a change of clothes.

But after only a couple of short trips, the nylon began to rip on one side. I emailed the company with photos, but received no reply.

In addition, the nylon straps are very slippery, so they don't stay on my shoulder well. They're also a little bit too long, so I can't hold the bag securely in place with my elbow and upper arm while I walk--the bag is always slipping forward.

It probably works fine as a plain old gym bag, toting stuff back and forth to your car. But for actual travel through airports and lots of walking, it is not useful at all. I just bit the bullet and got a less-cool but more functional Buxton laptop tote.

Review of Chicco Polly 2-in-1 Highchair with Double Pad

Overall, this is a good highchair.It serves it's purpose.I like that it's very adjustable both in height and recline.However, my now 9 month old son has only ever wanted the chair in it's fully upright position, even at 5 months when he first started using the chair.So the recline options seem silly.The only real issue with this highchair is the tray.It's sometimes hard to attach to the chair because it's difficult to line up with the arms of the chair part.Also, while it has two snap-on tray covers - the covers don't go fully over the edge of the tray, making the tray, in addition to the tray cover, vulnerable to little hands covered with assorted food goop.This means that both the tray cover and the tray need to be cleaned.On the pro side, it's one of the few high chairs that is available in red (the color theme of my kitchen is red), it is comfortable for my son, it rolls around easily when I want it to, and the seat is easy to wipe off and remove for more deep cleaning.The bottom line is that it's a good sturdy, safe, and pretty highchair that has one design flaw regarding the tray.

Review of KidCoddler Child Head Support System in Amazon Blue

I purchased this item with high expectations that it would help keep my 8 yr.old child upright . First off the picture is not a good representation of the pillow size. It "looks" as if there are too big pillows on each side of the childs head. WRONG, it's actually two very small pillows that rest near the childs shoulders.

Review of Boppy Signature Pillow In Cotton Candy

The Boppy has been the underdog of our various baby paraphenalia, that has recently come screaming into the frontrunners. It came highly recommended in our pre-baby research, but I will admit we were disappointed with it in the first months after my daughter was born. If you are working on Baby #1, just give it a couple months - it will quickly become priceless.

My husband uses it in his lap every night as he sits in the recliner, my daughter facing him. This entertains her during her fussiest time of the day while he is able to successfully eat dinner, watch a little tv (while preventing her from watching tv), and put on what we affectionately term the "Super Rock" to get her to sleep at bedtime.

I use it all day long as a baby seat beside me on the couch as I do feedings, play endless silly face games, and, lately, teach her to sit up in it. It is also perfect for modified tummy time if you have a baby that hates tummy time.

My daughter loves it because she is sitting up just enough to look around without taxing her newly developing muscles so much that she gets tired. It's soft enough to fall onto when we have impromptu sitting-up lessons. It's snuggly enough to take a nap in. It's absorbent, easily washed, and easily tossed between my husband and I during the evening handoffs. A must buy.

I purchased the monkey version of this pillow for my 17 month old.

These do the trick and add some color to break up the blankness. My only complaints are that the colors look a bit more washed out than they appear in the photo and the clear edge around each dot is pretty visable in most light.

But no worries, these decals were the cheapest of their kind and they are worth the money to doll up the drab.

Okay, I was hesitant to buy this for our Tripp Trapp, but as we wanted to use it with our then-5 month old, we didn't have any choices as the old baby rail is discontinued and doesn't fit with the new model Tripp Trapps anyway.

We took the plunge. I have no idea what all the problems described in other reviews are about, because this set works great for us. We have no problems putting our 7 1/2 month old into this chair and baby rail set. We don't have any cushions installed because he makes a mess when he eats and would just get the cushions all dirty. But, we got a good deal and free cushions with the set so I just put them away for later. We don't usually use the seat belt presently because he likes sitting in the chair and doesn't try to escape. He just sits on top of the seat belt for now.

My son is about 27 inches tall and weighs at least 19 pounds. He's a very long and lean little guy. He sits up very well on his own now, but even before he was sitting well without help, he could sit in the Tripp Trapp with the baby rail and eat at the dinner table with us. The rail doesn't make him too far away from the table. In fact, I'm surprised at how far he can reach. We give him graham crackers to chew, and he can put them down on the table in front of him and pick them up as he likes.

We think he likes sitting here and eating so much better than when he had to sit on the floor in the bouncy seat to eat. Now, he's entertained sitting at our level during dinner. Thanks to the baby set which we added to the Tripp Trapp, he can do this at an earlier age. I do have to say that there is a potential for food to drip down between him and the baby rail when he leans back, but we use the Baby Bjorn bibs which have a great tray for catching food drips. Awesome combination, so our son stays mostly clean now when he eats.

Review of Allergy -Shield s TM Luxurious Down Alternative Comforter

My son has a lot of allergies so I decided to replace our down comforter with this one.I wasn't sure about purchasing a comforter online without seeing it first, so I was a little skeptical.Turns out, it was a great purchase.It's lightweight, yet provides a lot of warmth, and you can toss it into your washing machine for cleaning. I would recommend this to others searching for a good down alternative comforter.

Review of Leachco Prop O's - Head Support And Strap Covers - Natural

I strongly recommend getting this, this is a great product, and it's the safest for your baby. I had discovered in my child-birthing classes that the average head support devices create a distance between the baby and the car seat, and with even only being a centimeter thick that distance was enough to determine if the baby would survive a car accident or not. I had even gone to the local highway patrol to have a car seat installed and asked them about it and they confirmed. Not only is this product the safest, it's velcro made it easy to put on and it's easy to wash. I was terrified that most head support devices could do that, and that most infant carseats are sold with them.. I was even going to call off car trips all together, until I found this product.

Review of Best Rest

This pillow has been very useful, but it will only last for this pregnancy.I am a back sleeper, so it has helped to keep me on my side.It also supports my tummy and releaves pressure from my back.I opted for this brand because it wasn't made of memory foam (thinking the memory foam wouldn't give me firm enough support).I now wish I had gone with another brand that is made of memory foam, like the Rest EZ II, which might hold it's form better. I originally didn't go with that one because there were several reviews saying the velcro hurts when it comes in contact with your skin.Well, the same holds for this one.I have had to cover it with a blanket at this point, since the pillows are becoming so mishaped and it exposes the velcro if I move around.The nice feature about the velcro, though, is that you can detatch the two pillows and use one to sit on, and I imagine you can use one for support during nursing.I wouldn't be able to sleep without this pillow, so I do find it useful, but for the next pregnancy, I will probably try one with memory foam.I think it is just personal preference.I highly recommend the idea of this pillow.You will sleep much better than you will without it. But don't plan on it lasting for the next pregnancy.

Review of Basic Comfort Body Support Pillow

I bought this brand of the "pregnancy pillow" because it seemed to allow the most flexibility in shape.My wife tells me that she would give this item 5 stars primarily because it is flexible, firm but soft.She has no complaints and sleeps better with this than without.

ADDENDUM 12/17/07:It's now been 7 weeks after my wife has given birth to our son, and my wife still prefers this pillow to our Tempurpedic $200 pillow!In fact, I actually have stolen it from her and find that it's pretty comfortable for anybody, pregnant or not!

Review of Baby Boy - Decorative Pillow

I like this bed. My 20 Month old actually sleeps in it. I think it's because it's low enough to the ground that he can climb in and out whenever he wants.

I do have some gripes though: some of the peices of wood were either cracked or split near the screw holes (which leads me to believe that I received a unit that had been previously used - or at least had been put together by someone else and returned), a couple of the boards that connect to hold the mattress have cracks in them that appear to have been glued and were warped (slightly curved, like an arc), and the cams and cam bolts to assemble the trundle drawer are missing so I have no where to store my son's clothes.

Overall, it's a nice unit. I think that instead of just listing that the unit can use standard crib mattresses, the online description of the unit should include that it is not made for mattresses that are over 4 1/2 inches thick. My son's crib mattress is 5 1/4 inches thick and is to tall for the saftey rails. I would also suggest that folks inspect ALL parts and make sure all parts (screws too) are accounted for prior to beginning assembly.

Review of Boon Oval Animal Bag - Available In Several Colors

Every time my daughter receives a stuffed animal as a gift, I can barely suppress a groan. What is it about them? The kids love to snuggle with them, but there's a limit to how many can fit in a bed, much less a closet!

That's why I love the Boon Oval Animal Bag. This one is green, but it also comes in pink, and that's the one I bought for my daughter. Once it arrived, we pulled out all the stuffed animals I'd tucked away in various places to fill it up. It holds a TON of animals. In fact, as many as we had, we didn't actually get it filled enough for it to be as firm as a typical bean-bag chair. I padded out some of the extra space with extra winter blankets.

The animal bag is VERY well made. There are three entrance points, allowing the child to spot a desired animal and easily extract it from the bag. The zipper pulls are large plastic ovals, easy to grab even for little hands. And the softness of the bag is really fantastic. My 1-year-old son loves to run over to it, collapse on it, and roll around on the soft "fur."

If you're considering a bean-bag chair and want to avoid the potential danger of the fillers, the Boon Oval Animal Bag is a less expensive and safer alternative with a secondary purpose.

And the best part? Now the next time someone gives my daughter a stuffed animal, I can smile just as much as she does.

Review of KidCoddler Child Head Support System in Jungle Green

I bought two of these for my toddlers, both are4 and 5. The picture is very misleading to how their head fits in the pillow. It states the age is 4 to 10 I believe, but the kids just dont fit in them as good as the kid on the picture does.I believe this was just a waste of my money, and my poor kids are left with no neck support on our long trip because I thought I was getting what I ordered! :(

Using the same great patented design as the Toddler Coddler, the Kid Coddler is designed for children ages 4-10 (although adults love these too!). The primary difference between the Kid Coddler and the Toddler Coddler is size ? the kid coddler is half the length of the toddler coddler. The Kid Coddlers? are just as easy to install (just a click of a buckle!) and easy to clean. The Kid Coddler can be used with a booster, a backless booster or no booster at all. The plush Kid Coddler's come in three rich jewel tone colors - Amazon Blue, Jungle Green or Purple Grape.

Review of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece Large

We began using the SwaddleMe wrap the day our son came home from the hospital.We have been so thrilled with this product, that we bought the lighter weight cottons ones for the summer and into the fall.Our son has been sleeping soundly through the night (8 hours) since he was 6 weeks old, and I credit that to the tight swaddle this wrap provides.Babies are less likely to wake up if they are snuggly wrapped and can't "startle" themselves with loose hands and legs.I trust this company so much, that I've gone ahead and ordered the Beddie Bye blankets for when he outgrows the SwaddleMe wraps.The wraps wash very well, just one word of caution - before putting the wrap in the washing machine, velcro it closed so that the velcro can't attach itself to other clothes in the washer or dryer.I forgot one time and managed to damage a knit outfit because the velcro created a bunch of pulls on it.

I HIGHLY recommend this product!

Review of Cotton Tale Designs Beach Cottage Photo Frame

I love this baby set!! When I saw the design of this collection I was so excited becasue it was so unique and original. Little did I know that all of the Bedding designs by this particular company were this way. Cotton Tale Designs has by far, in my opinion the best collections of bedding for you little one. I chose this design because it wasn't like the other sets that were all pink and frilly and flowers and bears. I wanted something different for my little girl. I was able to buy each piece of this collection for my babys nursery and when I got it I was even more thirlled to see the quality of the craftsmanship. It's so detailedand well worth the money!!! I would recommend this companies designs for a girl or boy, this set is well worht the money and then some!!
