Description:
We bought this Graco Pack & Play before my son was born, and it has proven to be a great investment. It comes with it’s own convenient travel bag. It also comes with a changing table, and at first that changing table was all we used. The whole thing is easy to clean and stores easily in the closet
Review:
It is very easy to put it up. It stays in place well with no collapsing. It is equally as easy to take it down.
We have used it during a hurricane evacuation in the hotel room, during a few overnight babysitter stays, during multiple trips to visit families, during a move after packing the crib into the moving van, and as an alternate place of care in lieu of daycare for three months. After all that putting it up and taking it down, it still has retained it’s ease in opening and closing, and has retained it’s original safety as well. After 2 years, we are still using this Pack & Play during trips to visit family and other overnight stays. I would buy this playard again!

Description:
My son received this for Christmas at age 7 months. He absolutely loved the sounds and lights as he dropped the balls through the different holes in the dinosaur’s back. Each different hole sends the ball on a different path, from the dinosaur’s mouth to the tail. The hole in the middle sends the ball on a short maze that your child can watch. This toy comes with four Roll-a-Round balls, and will accept any Roll-a-Round ball through the holes.
Review:
I enjoy that this toy has different options for your child to try. They will learn the cause and effect of multiple areas of the toy. It also helped him learn to crawl as he tried to chase the balls that rolled out of the dinosaur’s mouth or down his tail. My son’s gross motor skills also became better after playing with this toy.
I also enjoy that you can mix and match the Roll-a-Round balls from any Roll-a-Round toy to use with this Drop & Roar Dinosaur When you send the ball through the hole leading to the dinosaur’s mouth, he either laughs or growls and is incredibly cute.
My son plays with this toy for hours. I recommend this toy to any young child, as it is a very fun toy. You may even find yourself playing along with your child. I did.
Angel Care Baby Monitor - Review

Angel Care Baby Monitor

Description:
The Angel Care Monitor will work easily as a sound monitor but also as a motion sensor. It comes with a pad that you place under the crib mattress and makes a light distinct sound, like a clock, whenever it senses movement in the crib. Should the baby stop breathing an alarm goes off within 20 seconds to alert you. The sensor pad is so sensitive that it detects a baby’s breathing.
This monitor allows you to have the peace of mind of knowing that should your baby stop breathing you will be alerted right away. No alarm means your baby is sleeping peacefully which will allow you to as well. At a cost of $99.90 this product is well worth the comfort of knowing your family is safe and sound.
Review:
This monitor is definitely a lifesaver. You can finally get a great night sleep knowing that if your child would have trouble breathing you would know about it right away. This product is one all parents of a newborn/infant should have. It works great! The Angel Care Monitor by Bebe Sounds is a top of the line baby monitor. You will have a tough time finding a better product on the market today.

Late night, and you can’t get the baby to wind down? Well, Aveeno has the answer for that! I must say, it is truly like giving your baby spa quality treatment! Aveeno Baby Calming Bath is conveniently packaged in a neutral tone squeeze bottle. Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion is conveniently packaged in a neutral tone easy to dispense squeeze tube.
Review:
One late night, while shopping the baby isle I came upon the Aveeno Baby Product Line. I was very familiar with Aveeno for adults and absolutely adored their products, so I decided to try their baby line.
I put three to five squirts into the bath and about two minutes later I put the baby into the bath. I enjoyed the smell of lavender and vanilla entwined creating an aromatherapy like environment. Within five minutes my baby was relaxed. No kicking and turning as usual and no more fifteen to twenty minute bath. He was out in about 5-10 minutes tops. I followed up with Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion in Lavender and Vanilla.
What I liked best about the product was it’s “non soapy” approach to bathing. I felt comfortable after rinsing off my baby first time that I didn’t have to double or triple rinse the baby. The lotion was light, not heavy, and easy to rub into the baby’s skin. It actually moisturized my otherwise dry all day hands. As I started to dress the baby for bed he fell asleep!
I now have a new approach to getting my baby calm and preparing him for bed at night. I also found a new hand lotion that I can use time and time again. I love Aveeno!

If you are looking for a chair that you can take anywhere with you and that you can use from ages 3 months to generally 14 months (depending on size) then this Bumbo Chair would be great!
Review:
It holds a baby up so you won’t be stuck holding him up. This way you can be there to interact with him better. It is a circular chair that has a dip in it for the babies to rest. The circular leg cuts hold your babies legs in. It is made out of foam, so if they are to run into it, they won’t get hurt. This chair is much smaller then most high chairs. It is great for taking to restaurants so your baby can sit in a seat at the table. It also has the option to buy the tray for the highchair. It is great and has easy clean up.
