The Sammy Sack Stroller Blanket
comes in a variety of colors. It’s designed to keep your baby warm during fall and winter walks. If you feel that you are stuck in your home during this time of year and maybe just a little bit cold to bring your baby outside that’s exactly what these types of blankets are designed for.
The problem with other types of blankets is that they tend to move around while she were out walking with her baby as naturally they will move and not stay still as to be expected. The Sammy Sack can be attached to very easily and securely to any stroller. It comes with adjustable clips and a foot pocket that is designed to keep in place. This really helps and saves you having to stop and adjust everything once in a while when out walking.
What we like
- It’s comfortable for your baby
- It’s water resistant
- It can be attached easily to your stroller

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer
is such a beautiful colorful bouncer that will allow your child to have a nice gentle bouncing motion whilst they play or sleep. I really think that any child will find the colors mesmerizing and will be one of those go to items in your home that they will love to play in. It comes with a very entertaining toy as you can see in the photograph, which has a see through waterfall that is created using lights and is really the centerpiece. I really think this will hold a child’s attention for a long time as they giggle and laugh as they play with the two hanging toys that will definitely keep your baby amused and active.
One of the great things I find about is that you can make a decision whether to spend time playing with your child or it may give you the opportunity to do some chores while they sit looking at you enjoying their time. The design is very simple and makes a lot of sense. The funny thing is only today I came across my son’s old bouncer as I was cleaning out their garage to find the Christmas tree. That just gave me the idea to see what is available because his was really plan and did not have any attachment toy.
One thing I found personally annoying when using these types of answers is when it comes to feeding time. The problem is there is no locking mechanism so they still bounces when you’re trying to feed your baby. I personally used to just rest it against something and that would stop it bouncing, but I really don’t think it’s something that manufacturers think about and maybe something they will never put in. I suppose it’s not really the aim of this particular product but if your child finds it comfortable and fun it will be one of those nice little features.
When it comes to your child’s safety is always key so it’s always important to make sure that your child is strapped in.
Okay so we came across many positive reviews that you can check out over at Amazon when we were researching the product. So let’s have a little look at the features and benefits and things that some customers may not have liked.
Some of the features
- Music activated by mom plays six longer continuous songs
- Music activated by baby plays six shorter song
- Comfortable for baby
So what do we like
- The waterfall with lights seems to be a popular feature
- The toy bar is removable to allow your child get in and out of the chair easy
What we don’t like
- Some customers complained of a clicking noise from the play bar, however these were replaced immediately calling customer service
- The music can be little high, which can then be lowered. The problem is what is reset the volume goes back up again
What we were not sure about
- I’m not sure if the cover can be easily taken off and washed. This would obviously be a concern of mine but we could not find any reviewers mentioning this.
What the reviewers said
Generally there are many positive reviews of this Fisher Price bouncer. Many customers found that their children absolutely love this product and some very young will fall asleep very quickly. Nice, if you need a little break for a while.

As a new parent becoming it’s nice when you finally get your baby to bed. This then gives you time to get some of the chores that may need doing around the house done. I’m sure you’re familiar with the scenario. But, sometimes you’re on edge because you keep thinking you hear your baby crying or looking for attention. Believe me I know this feeling and running up and down to your baby’s bedroom when they are still sound asleep coming just a little bit annoying.
Having a baby monitor is obviously the solution as it allows you to place a transmitter in your child’s bedroom and for you to have the receiver close by so you can listen or watch them on video screen without having to leave the comfort of your armchair or be distracted from doing any household chores that you are presently doing.
There are many products on the market that can help you with this today we are looking at the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor
which even comes with any 1.8 inch screen so you can monitor your little one on the LCD on the receiver. It works on 900 MHz and has a two channel selection, which apparently is able to transmit to 350 feet. It comes with rechargeable batteries in the parent units of classical to 10 hours or alternatively you can simply use the AC adapter which is included.
It required you can turn the screen off on the parent units and there are LED sound lights which allow you to still monitor your baby’s level of activity.
So what do we like
- It can work outside so you can monitor your baby while in the garden
- Rechargeable batteries last 10 hours
- Very clear picture even in nighttime mode
What we don’t like
- Only has two channels so if a neighbour has the same units you may pick up what they are broadcasting.
- You may also pick up some static in near other electrical equipment
What other reviews say
As with everything in life you always leave positive and negative reviews of the product. On the positive side when researching there are many customers who have purchased the Summer Handheld Color Video Monitor that were very satisfied with the features, the wireless transmission, the sound quality, and the video quality.
One or two reviewers were not very satisfied with the reception and to be honest this can be the case with wireless technology. Wireless signals do not travel well through metal and concrete, this can cause weak reception and interfere with the signal. Sometimes other electronic equipment like wireless phones in your home that may be on the same frequency will interfere. If you do have these types of problems you need to make sure that their receiver and transmitter are in areas in your home where there is no interference to other signal to transmit.
Overall many customers were very satisfied with the product and even after sales service where they may have needed to replace the AC adapter or example. One particular customer actually received the adapter with no charge for postage. This is definitely a positive note after sales service on any product.

Although this is designed for traveling will definitely find use for this in your home also. It is very simple to assemble and can be done quickly by snapping into place. But, you may need to read the instructions because there is a little nack to doing it and once you understand this it will assemble in under one minute.
It’s convenient playard for your child and if they fancy a little nap after a while you will find that they will settle no problem. The bassinet, changing table is really suitable if you have a young child and urinary research and reading reviews and the people said that as soon as your child starts to get older the bassinet and changing table start to lose their usefulness. But, still the changing table is ideal for quick diaper changes when needed.
If you plan to travel the bassinet and changing table are really not suitable unless you are going by car and happen to have lots of space. But, most people will probably use this as a playpen and date for traveling and may not have the need for the changing table.
The mesh undersides are ideal to improve ventilation when the baby sleeps or plays and is also ideal for them to be able to observe what is going on around them.
Some features

What we like
- Can be assembled and disassembled quickly

It comes to the stage where your child will just get too big for a regular baby car seat and you had to consider using a booster seat so that the seatbelt is positioned in a more comfortable position. This particular model from Cosco is suitable for a child that is weighing between 30 and 100 lbs.
We very are quite simple and not much to them as I’m sure you’re well aware, but they are still an important safety aspect that you need to have a view of your child in the back seat of a car. If you find that your child still tends to fall asleep this is something you should not consider you will need a booster seat with a back and headrests so that they are more comfortable if they do happen to fall asleep.
This model comes with a stripped-down compartment which holds a cup holder. This is ideal whether you are going on a short journey our long journey. It has a removable and washable cushioned pad for laundering.
It’s a safe booster seat that is sturdy but yet very light weight. It’s inexpensive, but gets the job done.

When it comes to car baby seats for children our priorities should be safety, safety, and safety and just in case you didn’t get that safety is one of the most important aspects that us parents should think about when purchasing a car baby seat.
The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat has lots of features it’s also priced reasonably well. But, to be honest price shouldn’t be the most important aspect when shopping for a car seat for your child. This particular seat is designed extremely well, the headrest is easy to use and possible.
It comes with a five point harness which helps to ensure that your child is trapped in securely. It meets all the US Safety Standards, including U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213 and comes with a steel reinforced frame so that it is durable.
Doing some research for this article I came across many positive reviews from parents who have purchased this. It’s always nice to see feedback from users. The fact that it also converts into a booster for when your child is a little bit bigger is another bonus.

Having a stain protection mattress pad something that all of us parents need at some stage. Although you may have your baby wrapped in 14 diapers somehow they still manage to speak at times. The Sealy protection pad will really help to protect your mattress because the last thing you want to do is have a stained mattress which can start to smell after a while I’m sure you know what I mean.
A couple of reviews I read of this particular product people complained about the smell when they first opened it. This is basically the vinyl and as it straight from the manufacturer you need to make sure that you wash and air its first before putting it in your baby’s crib.
Having used a number of these in the past is always important that it is a snug fit on your mattress. This has deep pocketed skirts to prevent sliding and shifting which is important for your child’s safety as well as the mattress itself. The Sealy Stain Protection Crib Mattress Pad
is really absorbent and will prevent your mattress from getting wet.

What a fantastic playpen, I personally had one of these for my two children a few years ago. It is now being passed around between my various friends and is still in perfect condition and getting daily use. I came across this over at Amazon it started to bring back a few memories of my own children playing in safety whilst I was doing chores around the house. I also used this a couple of times when I took vacations and convenience of being able to pack it for travelling in about one minute is amazing.
Before we actually purchased ours we have borrowed one from another friend when we were travelling. It was great my son could use this to play in and if he felt a little bit tired he could simply put his head down and go sleep. Obviously at that age he could not tell us how good it was the fact that he was sleeping and looked very comfortable just says a lot.
Some features
- It’s very easy to store and folds in about one minute
- It is simple to clean the printed polyester pad
- It has mesh around all four sides which have bug toys attached
What we like
- I love the colors they are bright and cheerful
- The fact that it is easy to clean is very important
- Folds down very quickly and does not require assembly
What we don’t like
- Personally when I used mine there was nothing I didn’t like

When it comes to potty chairs you would not really take there was much to them were in fact there’s a lot of technology and thought into how they are made. If you are starting to potty train your child sure you are well aware of the challenges you will face.
When I was potty training my first child we had lots of problems with the particular one we were using. It leaked, the opening at the very front was simply to small and we had lots of issues with my son leaking out over the front of the potty and onto the floor. I wasn’t particularly over keen on it as it came apart in many pieces and you could see where bacteria could easily be.
I just wish of the time I have come across the BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair. I have read so many positive reviews about this and many parents saying because of the simple construction is easy to clean and most of all the opening is bigger than what you’ll find on the other potty chairs which reduces the accident factor completely.
Some features
- It has a high back support and arm rest
- It comes with a splash guard which helps to prevent accidents
- The inner part is easily removed
- It has a rubber bottom edge which prevents it from moving (I really like this idea)
What we like
- The opening is bigger than the other potty chairs
- Easy to clean
- The splash guard is perfect especially for boys
What we don’t like
During our research we found very little negative reviews you always get some votes they are in the minority.

If you have not come across stroller frames before they can simply be used with your existing infant car seats. This particular one has been made by Greco to go with their SnugRider range of products. This is a stroller frame that allows them Snugrider car seat simply fit into its and saves you money on purchasing a full sized stroller. It’s an ideal travel system that is very simple to use. I’m sure you have been in situations where you are trying to put something together but you have no need to worry as this is very sturdy and there is only one way to assemble it.
It comes with a large spacious basket which is very accessible and easy to get at. The handlebars come with a cup holder and a small compartment for storing keys and stuff like that.
One thing that many users have complemented is that it is very convenient to use and has a very lightweight frame. This makes it perfect and ideal for storing in the boot of the car as it does not take up much space and very easy to take out as you try and juggle holding your baby and everything else in one arm whilst you can easily snap together using one hand.
It’s ideal for shopping and is probably the best money you will spend a compliment your car seat.
