ERGObaby Front Pouch Review


ERGObabyFrontPouch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased a black embroidered organic Ergo and realized later that it did not have a pocket like other Ergos. I thus got the pouch off of Amazon. The pouch is worth the money and it much more versatile than initially anticipated. You can attach it to the front of the pack, the back of the pack (waist straps) with velcro, or you can carry it with the strap that comes with it. The strap itself is adjustable and features a handy clip with which you can quickly attack and detach the strap. Fantastic design. You have one zippered front pocket, an open pocket behind that, then the main zippered pocket and a small zippered compartment within that. I keep some doggy bags, my wallet, my iphone, ipod, keys, a burp cloth, a pacifier, a pack of kleenex and my rescue inhaler in it. There is room to spare, too. It has turned into my "mommy purse." I keep it in whichever diaper bag I am using and is the only thing I take with me if I have to run a quick errand by myself. Definitely a great addition to the Ergo pack or just on its own.

I couldn't agree more with the other reviewers. I have used the older ventaire bottles for my first daughter for almost 3 years without any problems (they only started leaking at the end of 3 years after thousands of washes). However the ventaire advanced bottles that I had purchased for my little one are absolutely horrible, leak almost every time. I would definitely go for the old type of bottles.

I absolutely love these bottles. My daughter loves them, too. Here are the pros and cons, and i think they are worth it.

Pros- Easy to clean
-Less gas
-Less spit up
-Less fussing
-they feel durable and of good quality
-angled bottle is good for preventing ear aches, which our baby is prone to.
-Happier baby overall

Cons- Lots of pieces
-If not assembled correctly, they will leak. All you need to do is run your finger over the bottom vent before filling and there are no leaks.
- thick bottles, and you cant use them in the bottle warmer. running them under hot water takes a while. i heat up formula in a storage container and pour it in the bottles.

Tiny Love Gymini - Black, White & Red Review


TinyLoveGymini-Black,White&Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Children grow in stages and as a consequence some toys are not forever, babies and children simply outgrow them.The Tiny Love Activity Gym is one of these types of toys.It won't keep a growing baby's attention for even 12 months, but this limitation should be viewed as a feature not as a deterrent to buying it.

The short duration of its usefulness is due to its intentional design.The striking combinations of red, white and black have been studied and proven to engage and stimulate babies in their early months when their vision is still developing.

And we loved ours.It went through 2 children without strain and now it has gone off to the neighbors newborn twins.It was easily washed and simply great in providing fun for that must have `belly-time'.

Summary:The Tiny Love Activity Gym has its place and function and our babies loved it.It is for those wonderful, romance months when your beautiful new baby is focussed on you and maybe a little bit of his/her nearby environment.

Baby Jogger Summit 360 Single Jogging Stroller Review


BabyJoggerSummit360SingleJoggingStroller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The original stroller purchased from Amazon.com suffered the same issue as reviewed previously - a strong pull (in our case, to the left).The pull occurred whether the front wheel was locked or not, and was extremely annoying even while walking on paved surfaces.

Wheel Alignment 101:

The issue is most definitely NOT caused by the front wheel itself, but rather a manufacturing defect in the frame of the stroller.The front wheel pin attaches to a bracket that is welded to the frame.This bracket was welded out of square, causing the pin to angle (substantially) to the right of the stroller.The pin is unfortunately not adjustable, and this angle is transferred to the front wheel, causing it to push left while rolling.Just like on a car, a cambered wheel will always cause a pull.

Now the good news:

I contacted BabyJogger and described the problem, and emailed them pictures of the disassembled stroller to explain what I thought was the cause.The problem wasn't news to them, but it sounded like my suggestion to look at the wheel pin was.They sent me a complete replacement the next week after verifying that the front pin was square to the frame on the new stroller.The new stroller now rolls straight and true.

There is still a small amount of turning play in the front wheel when locked.This is necessary because it allows you to make small adjustments in the tracking of the stroller while running.The important thing is that it does not PULL, which is caused by camber NOT a wobbling wheel.Wheels that wobble slightly or are out of balance just cause vibration at high speeds.And trust me... you don't run that fast.

Taking all of this into context, we really do love this stroller.It is extremely well made of high quality materials.It is extremely maneuverable and easy to push.The stroller holds more but folds smaller than our old clunky stroller, and we wish we knew about this one sooner.It really is a very well engineered stroller and we are so glad our only complaint (the wheel pull) was resolved by their fantastic customer service.I would have given this 5 stars if we didn't have to deal with warranty replacement.Hopefully this is a production run issue and not a quality control issue.Our first Summit 360 was built in Feb-09 while the second was built in May-09.

Perfect for baby boy and Dad loves it too because of the sports!! I got all of this for my recent shower and you would not believe how cute it is!! Everyone just awed when I was opening all the different pieces. I was surprised by the hamper because it's not in this picture. If you get some of it you'll have to have all of it. I did not register for the red plaid curtain panels, I ended up buying plain navy blue ones so I can block the light when the baby's sleeping. We also got a cherry colored crib & changing table which matches the Wall Art which are also cherry.

Stokke Tripp Trapp - Natural Review


StokkeTrippTrapp-Natural
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our primary complaints with the Tripp Trapp are:

- total cost is needlessly high ($350-$400 all in)

- fussy harness system is a PITA and gets in the way of removing the cushion for cleaning.also, very poorly written instructions make installing the accessory cushion with the harness a real puzzle...

- you'll need to bust out an allen key to make any adjustments whatsoever.this is inconvenience masquerading as a safety feature.

- "accessory" cushions = $40 each.plan to buy several since cushions need to be constantly washed...

- the "accessory" baby rail was recently updated/modified and the one we received doesn't fit the chair that we purchased at the same time... there is zero info about this on the Stokke site.in fact, the product manual that came with the chair and the instructions that came with the rail show TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT products WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME.this is inexcusable.pay careful attention to the design of the rail - make sure it fits your chair.the main issue is the configuration of the center column that attaches to the seat (curved vs. straight column) and the type of clip needed to connect to your seat base.

- Stokke customer service is not open on weekends, and the website is useless (98% marketing, 2% support - the updated product manual found online fails to address the differences between the newer chairs and accessories and older models - or the compatibility issues therein).as a result, we were left hanging after a Saturday AM assembly session.the premise of a "6M to teenager" chair is wildly optimistic. I presume our daughter will be sitting in a regular chair well before 6th grade...I can't imagine what child will tolerate sitting in a baby seat past the age of 6...if you plan to use this chair for an infant (6M+), the $40 baby rail "accessory" is required (not optional).plan to spend another $40 or so for at least one cushion just to get started, too.

on the other hand, the premise of a seat that promotes good social interaction and table behavior is most welcome.since the basic design of this product is almost 40 years old, it's surprising it hasn't caught on...

too bad Stokke doesn't realize that "good design" must be part of the entire value equation from purchase decision to end of use.their approach to sell many required parts as "accessories" has little to do with personalization - it's all about profit (or perhaps the weak strategy of a US distributor - this product is sold a bit differently in the EU).

sadly, the beauty of the original Kinderzeat was lost when the product was adapted for the U.S market...

I recommend this product for engineers, elitists who will pay someone else to handle assembly, and designerati who already have their minds made up.

Product Description:
If you did a double take looking at the picture, you're not alone - the Stokke Tripp Trapp doesn't look like a regular highchair or booster seat. That's because it's far more. A top seller in Europe for years, the solid wood Tripp Trapp is designed to let your child sit comfortably and securely at the family dining table, kitchen counter, or computer desk - joining in the action just like a grownup. Its unique design makes it incredibly stable. The seat and footrest easily adjust higher or lower, growing with your child. They also adjust horizontally, in and out from the chair's base, so you can get just the right fit. And the chair's armless design makes it safer for little climbers determined to get out by themselves. A safety harness helps keep your child secure, but the chair is made for kids who can sit well independently (around 18 months). The Tripp Trapp, manufactured in Norway, isn't just for kids, either. As strong as it is versatile, the chair's seat can be positioned at a perfect height for adults.

Diaper Genie XL Twistaway Disposal System Refill - Stage 1 Review


DiaperGenieXLTwistawayDisposalSystemRefill-Stage1
Average Reviews:

I bought my Diaper Genie in 1997 when I was pregnant with my first child, and used it again in 1999 when I had my second.I just had my third child and bought two refills, which I realize now don't fit into my Diaper Genie.Although I noticed it said "Diaper Genie XL" on the package, I didn't realize it was a new model, and I didn't know it wouldn't fit the old ones too.I really think they should clearly state this on the front of the package so that people don't get taken for a ride.The new refill canister is only off by a fraction of an inch, which leads me to believe that Playtex did this thinking they would make more money by everybody going out to buy a new Diaper Genie.Instead, I went out and bought a Diaper Champ from Baby Trend.It works just as well as the Diaper Champ at controlling odor, but it's easier to use (one-handed operation) and the biggest plus is that it uses regular bags--no special liners to buy.Ha!Take that, Playtex!

I purchase this sorting wheel for my grandson, because my own children loved the toy.On first use the toy fell apart. While it resembled the original toy, some of the shapes were too small for the post boxes and could fall out if shaken. The retaining bar was an undersized dowel and did not secure the shapes inside the wheel.I contacted Galt UK and was told that they no longer dealt with Original Toy Company and that the sorting wheel was discontinued by them in 2009.Amazon did give me a full refund but the toy is still being advertised.

Pampers Swaddlers Review

Average Reviews:

These are plain and simply the best diapers on the market. I can't say nearly as much for regular Pampers, Huggies, or even Luvs. We tried every brand available when my son was born a size preemie - nothing would fit on him, and everything leaked! We had our hospital guests running out for us to find us preemie onsies, sleepers, and diapers. Then we finally decided to try these, and they still fit him, no matter what he's growing like at the time. They're super stretchy and the softest diaper I've felt. Nothing scratchy touching the baby, and since they stretch and fit comfortably snug no matter what, you never have a pile of left over diapers that don't fit him anymore, when they go up to a new size. They fit till the end, and they overlap each other in size rage so there are no weird periods of growth when he's an 'in-between' size. They are also SUPER absorbant. We've changed more than one leak from Huggies, (regular) Pampers, and Luvs and most of them were all from 'weird angle!' accidents and the diapers were barely wet. With Swaddlers you go to change the diaper and it's as heavy as a softball and you're just flabberghasted. They pull everything away from his skin, and are just plain and simple = wonderful.

Playtex Deluxe Hip Hammock Baby Carrier Color: Black Review


PlaytexDeluxeHipHammockBabyCarrierColor:Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought the Deluxe Hip Hammock when they first came out. I chose the deluxe over the regular hip hammock because I liked the fabric much better. The regular has fleece fabric which I do not like. The deluxe is less fuzzy. The deluxe also comes with a cell phone pocket and a washing bag, but I don't really use those much. If you like fleece or live somewhere that doesn't get too hot, then you could save a considerable amount of money by getting the regular version.

The first one that we had was part of the recall. I contacted Playtex by e-mail and they sent me a bag to return it and then they sent me a new Deluxe Hip Hammock. The whole process only took a couple of weeks.

The Hip Hammock has worked pretty well for us. My son is very active and will not sit in shopping carts or strollers. So I needed a way to carry him while I am shopping and still be able to push a cart. When we bought it he weighed around 20 pounds and we could carry him for quite a while. We carried him all over Disney World in it when he was 16 months old. However, now that he weighs more than 25 pounds the amount of time that I can comfortably carry him has gotten considerably shorter. Even though the carrier may put some of the weight on your waist there is still some pressure on your shoulder. It does not put the weight on your hip in the same way that just carrying a baby on your hip does. Pulling the strap tighter puts more of the weight on your hips, but if you pull it too tight the shoulder strap rests on your neck which gets really uncomfortable really quick. So, I have learned to make sure that the strap is loose enough to stay on my shoulder. (Not too loose though). The strap has a generous pad, but I think that it would be improved by making the strap wider, perhaps enough to cup the shoulder. Also, the pad has a tendency to twist around the wrong way.

It is really easy to put on and take off. It takes less than a minute and I have no problem doing it by myself. Make sure you read the safety information. When not in use it rolls into a little bundle with the help of the button and loop. It is small enough to fit in a large diaper bag. I have always used small diaper bags, so I usually used the key clip to clip it to something.

Overall it has proved really useful and I think worth the money. I am looking forward to getting even more use out of it with my next child. Just don't expect it to make your child weightless. It does still put some strain on your shoulder. And don't expect it to be usefull all the way to 35 pounds.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Be advised...many of these reviews are for the OLD Diaper Genie, but the NEW Diaper Genie works great!!My daughter is six and a half months old.After fighting with the Neat Diaper Disposal System by Safety First (Way too wasteful!!!)for six months, we decided upon the Diaper Genie based on the recommendation of my cousin.We LOVE it!!The new version is very easy to use.To refill it, you simply drop the refill in, tie a knot in the bag, and you're ready to use it.Disposing of a diaper couldn't be easier...you just push in a diaper until it is between the clamps, close the lid, and turn the wheel a couple of times (We have found four to be the 'Magic' number.).I love how it 'sausages' the diapers into individual portions of the bag.It keeps in odors as well as anything.Let's face it...poop stinks.Any diaper disposal should be emptied at least two to three times a week, or it will become unbearable.Be advised, if you feed your baby anything other than breastmilk or formula, use the Stage Two bags!!Emptying it is a cinch...just turn the wheel an extra couple of times, push down the cutter button while turning the wheel a half turn, turn the wheel until the button pops up, open, and empty...EASY!!Unlike another reviewer, I see no way that you could reach the blades that cut the bag.They are covered for safety. (I tried every way I could think of before writing this just to be sure.) Another hint of something I have done is to apply restickable stickers to the Diaper Genie to match my daughter's nursery.We used ones you can peel and reuse.They add some 'glam' to an otherwise 'blah' diaper disposal.Overall, we love the Diaper Genie, if you can love a diaper disposal. :)It works great for us!!

Playtex BPA Free Disposable Nurser Liners 8 oz - 140 Count Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using Playtex Bottles with liners since my second child was born. I must say I loved the drop-ins until the expandable drop-ins came out. When my 3rd child started using 8 oz, I started searching for an alternative. I stumbled across these on Amazon and after some quick math, realized that these liners priced at $5.99/free shipping for 140 liners were the absolute cheapest liners you could get. So I had to try them. My aunts assured me that they were all that they used with their children and it wasn't that bad. They really aren't bad. In fact, there are some things I like better about them. I love that if you squeeze the air out of these that there is no chance of the liner popping off the ring and milk going everywhere. I love the more compact packaging and that the liners can be pulled easily out of the carton when needed. They do only go to 8 oz but I have never had a baby to take more than 8 oz at one time. The only flaw I can find is that it does take a few extra seconds to get the liner in the bottle than a drop-in but for the perks I will live with it.

Britax Roundabout 50 Convertible Car Seat Review


BritaxRoundabout50ConvertibleCarSeat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The new Roundabout 50 is a very useful addition to the Britax line, if it matches what you're looking for.It's a somewhat compact seat with the safety and convenience features Britax offers (though with a couple convenience feature changes).And it's Roundabout-level price makes it a very good value, as a safe seat that will have a long useful life.

The notable differences vs. the original Roundabout is that this model can handle a child of up to 50 lbs, and up to 49 inches in height.(The original Roundabout was 40 lbs and 40 inches.)Given that a lot of children will outgrow the height of the chair before they outgrow the weight, this provides another somewhat compact option for parents, and lengthens the amount of time the chair is useful.

By the way, this seat is a "Roundabout" only in concept - a somewhat compact, moderately priced seat (compared to the rest of the Britax line).It isn't physically a version of the original Roundabout.Reportedly it's actually based on the Decathlon, and it does have the same overall dimensions and weight and very similar details like strap heights. (Though the Decathlon has the extra HUGS padding and more pillows.)So you may want to read comments on the Decathlon, too, if you're wanting more info on this new model.

Other important differences relative to the earlier Roundabout:
- Larger (19.5 W x 27.5 H x 25.5 D vs. 18.5 W x 24.5 H x 24 D).
- Bigger seat area (9.5 D x 11.5 W, vs. 9 D x 11 W)
- Heavier (15.5 lbs vs. 13.1 lbs.), but still lighter than many seats.
- Four harness slot heights, so seated shoulder height of 10.75" (rear facing) to 16.25" (forward facing), vs. three heights with a range of 10.5" to 15".
- Three buckle strap depths (2.4", 4.4", 6.4") rather than just one (6.6").

There are a couple features the Roundabout had that you may miss having on the Roundabout 50:
- The Roundabout 50 does not have the push button harness adjustment, which many parents really (really) liked on the original Roundabout.Instead it uses a lift lever.
- The Roundabout had built in belt lock offs, while the Roundabout 50 uses a locking clip.(We use the LATCH system on our own cars, the lockoffs were nice because they were easy to use on rental cars, but I imagine we'll adapt.)

I don't find any of these seats especially compact, though!We have a large station wagon and the back seat is very crowded with two.So you'll want to research how it fits in your specific car - since this model is new, perhaps see what people say about the Decathlon and your car.

We bought a 50 to use as our older child grows, and we'll use the smaller original Roundabout for the younger child, to help a little with the space in the back.

We did use another car seat (with a base and a detachable bucket) for the first several months, because we found it easier to put a newborn baby in the seat in the house and use that to carry her around in that, than to try to use a seat permanently installed in the car. So I can't say what it's like to use either of the Roundabouts with a newborn.

And just a reminder to keep your child rear facing well past the old 1 year / 20 lb guideline, if your circumstances make that at all possible - a quick web search will give you the safety facts.This larger seat will help somewhat with making that possible.
