GEIGERRIG-Mother's-Pack

Our youngest turned one in April and she's got the travel bug just like the rest of the family. We have to barely mention going somewhere and she scoops up her shoes to bring them to us. She's adventurous. She's fearless (a tad too fearless). And she's prone to get a little too much sun if we're not careful. Here are some of our top product picks for keeping summer babies cool and comfortable. Reusable Swim Diaper by My Pool Pal For little ones that aren't yet potty-trained, a swim diaper … [Read more...]

Video Review: kokopax classic carrier

kokopax-classic-baby-carrier

Our youngest baby is just shy of 9 months old. She's a crawling, climbing, standing, smiling sensation.We all adore her. She alternates between my arms, her daddy's arms, her sisters' arms, and doing acrobatics around our house all on her own. When our arms get tired or the late afternoon grumpies visit, I like to put her on my back to keep my hands free for cooking, cleaning, and kid-corraling. Designed by a mom of four in Las Vegas, the kokpax classic carrier has been one of my go-to … [Read more...]

We tried to decipher the long words and lingo, weighing the costs with the bottle's promises. After the blur of options, we reached for the nearest bottle and came home to research the most common brands, their core ingredients, and their safety ratings. The products are listed from least expensive to most expensive … [Read more...]

babybjorn-babysitter-balance-air

She is a baby in arms. Always held. Forever passed between her adoring daddy and her two big sisters who fight for the chance to cuddle her. Most of all, she is close to my heart - usually resting on my chest. We are almost never apart, she and I. Still intertwined, cocooned together though she is no longer inside me. Even so, there are moments when hands need to be free and we have always appreciated having a bouncer on-hand. Lightweight and well-designed, the BabyBjorn Babysitter Balance … [Read more...]

summer-infant-4-sided-changing-pad

Cross "changing table" off of your list of MUST-HAVE baby items. Those shiny wood tables at Babies R Us are undeniably pretty, but - if you're looking to cut costs - be rest assured that they're certainly not necessary. Three kids later and we've never owned one. We've always just put a changing pad on top of a dresser. Summer Infant's 4-sided changing pad ($25) is an excellent option. Highly rated on Amazon, the pad is thicker than most and cradles the baby as she is changed. The … [Read more...]
