Products for children are practical and useful. Sometimes they are cute, but very rarely do they strive for a truly unique and beautiful design. One exception to the rule is Hoppop, a line of children’s products with an Ikea-esque sense of design and functionality. With products for the modern parent, their lines of stepstools, training toilets and bath toys look great and are great for kids.

One of their truly unique products is the Bato, a baby bath that comes in three vibrant colors, lime, fuchsia and aqua. A stylish alternative to the kitchen sink, this baby bathtub has an old Victorian bathtub feel but would look great in any home. The style isn’t the only great thing about this tub though; it has lots of features to make giving your little one a bath super easy.

The Hoppop Bato has high, supportive walls, making sure that your baby won’t escape or fall out. It also comes equipped with a drain plug, so it’s easy to empty at the end of a bath, and a removable liner for easy cleaning. The cool thing about the removable liner is that it leaves space between the outside of the tub and the inside of the liner, insulating your baby from cold air. This makes for a warmer bath for baby and a better time for everyone.

I certainly wish that the Hoppop Bato has been around when I had my daughter. The color is beautiful and brilliant, and it almost makes you want to show the tub off, a far cry from the baby bathtubs that were available when I was pregnant. It feels very sturdy and able to withstand a slippery infant. The removable insert makes it much easier to clean, and I think it’s a very cool idea to insulate the sides so that bath water stays warm longer.

Although my daughter is way too old for such things now, I did find another use for the aqua Bato we received: toy basket. If you take the insert out, the brightly colored tub becomes the perfect size to hold trucks, books or bath toys. This double duty tub could be used for years in all kinds of capacities.

The originality and funky design of the Hoppop Bato makes it the perfect gift for any expecting mother. Forget trying to give baths in the kitchen sink, or ugly baby baths that are hard to use, because the Bato is the perfect solution. Its bright colors and modern design make it perfect for any new family, and any new parent will appreciate its sturdiness and easy to use setup. Furthermore, as the baby ages out of it as a tub, it makes the perfect holder for toys or books. Also, with its drain, it would be a great place to rinse off muddy rain boots or outdoor toys. There are literally tons of ways to use this tub. So if you’re expecting, or know someone who is, check out the Hoppop website, and prepare to be amazed.

WIN IT!

One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive one Hoppop Bato Bath Tub.

The Precious Moments brand name was started, when artist Sam Butcher’s drawing of the endearing teardrop eye children, which he called Precious Moments, became popular with family and friends. In 1970, Sam along with a friend, Bill Biel started a small company that brought to life his Precious Moments art through cards and posters. Soon people were clamoring for more of those cute picture cards so much so that other vendors came to help the duo with their orders. The first major order that came their way was for the three dimensional figurine, based on his work “Love One Another.” Today the Precious Moments artwork is famous the world over and there are hundreds of collections with several new ones being added each year. Every Precious Moments figurine is crafted, molded, and then painted to perfection.

Some of the Precious Moments products other than angelic figurines are apparel, books, video and music, gift items, jewelry, photo frames and plush soft toys. They have a limited but very attractive rage of giftware that includes Musical Waterball, Joy the Angel – Musical Waterglobe, Precious Girls Club Musical Jewelry Box, Victoria the Angel – Precious Girls Club Waterball and Precious Girls Club Canvas Tote Bags. The plush soft toys feature cute, adorable dogs and cats that kids will love to have. The figurine collection includes Disney characters, angels, and figurines for every occasion like weddings and baby showers. Their Home & Garden products include placemats, table runners, and wall hangings, bolster pillows and portable blankets. Registered users can download free Precious Moments coloring pages that can keep your kids engaged and they will love coloring the cute teardrop eyed children and other animals.

Precious Moments Baby Boutique has a fabulous collection of products for infants and babies. Figurines, feeding bottles, baby blankets, bedding sets, bib sets and music DVDs and CDs. Baby blankets are available in several colors. The Precious Moments Precious Beginnings Coral Fleece Blanket in pink would be ideal to provide soft comfort and warmth to your child. An adorable appliqué of the Precious Moments character is sewn on one corner of the blanket, and the rim on all four sides of the blanket has a satin band sewn on to the blanket. The blanket is of 30” X 40” size. This one was a gift to baby and the little one appears cozy and snug when I use the Precious Moments baby blanket on her. Cleaning the blanket is also a breeze and this is one top quality product, which retains its quality after several washes.

Machine washing instructions for this blanket, is a gentle wash cycle in warm water and tumble dry on a low heat. Should you decide to bleach the blanket, non-chlorine bleach is advisable. The blanket may be ironed using a cool iron. This ultra-soft lightweight warm blanket will keep baby comfortable at all times, both indoors and outdoors. The blanket weighs 0.6 lbs and is priced at an affordable $12.99.

You’ve probably heard about Boon and their line of creative children’s products. They’ve been in all kinds of magazines lately, from Southern Living and Ladies Home Journal to American Baby. They’ve also been featured on a range of TV shows, including The Early Show, Ellen and the Today Show. If you haven’t heard the buzz, here’s a primer: Boon was born out of a designer’s frustration with a messy bathtub. Rebecca Finell was sick of bath toys all over her bathroom, and created the Frog Pod, a handy bath toy holder. Since then she has founded a business on innovative products that address common parenting challenges, which are both high-quality and safe.

One of these amazing products is the Bug Pod, a variant of the original Frog Pod. The Bug Pod is the ultimate, all in one bath toy holder. The Bug Pod does many things at once. Most importantly, it holds bath toys and keeps them out of the way when it’s not bath time. The holder also has drains, so that the toys can dry out and stay that way. It comes with a wall-mounted base, instead of suction cups, so that the Bug Pod never falls off the walls.

One of the cool things about the Bug Pod is that it’s also a bath toy scoop. When bath time is over, it’s a snap to just scoop the toys up and store them in the Bug Pod. But that’s not all the Bug Pod can do. It also has space to store shampoo, conditioner or soap, keeping them out of slippery toddler hands. Finally, the bug’s cute antennas are the perfect shape and size for holding a little loofah.

I was really excited to try out this Bug Pod, because, like most moms of toddlers, my daughter’s bath toys were taking over our bathroom. I’ve tried mesh bags on suction cups, but they always fall off the wall, and I worry about them hitting my daughter’s head. Also, I’ve been looking for a way to limit my daughter’s growing bath toy collection, and this seemed like the perfect way. I told her that she could keep as many toys as would fit in the Bug Pod, and the rest we would donate to someone who needed them.

Although my daughter wasn’t super excited about giving away some of her rubber duckies, her excitement over the Bug Pod quickly overshadowed this minor pitfall. She loved how cute the ladybug looked on our bathtub wall, and she had a blast scooping up her toys with it after bath time. Also, with the Bug Pod, I didn’t have to worry about her getting hold of her baby soap and spilling it all over herself. The Bug Pod has truly made bath time an enjoyable activity for everyone in the family.

If you have a child who loves their bath toys, the Bug Pod will make a huge difference in your life. No more suction cups, no more bath toys taking over your bathroom, and no more spilled soap when you turn your back. The Bug Pod by Boon is the perfect addition to any family’s bath time, and it will make everyone in your family happy.

WIN IT!

One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive the bug pod from Boon Inc.

Finding the right shoes for your child can be a struggle. As a parent, you want to make sure that they get the right support and structure for their growing feet, but all your child cares about is how cool and fun they look. Well, Weboo’s shoes meet everyone in the middle. Weboo makes children’s shoes that are super cute and fun to wear, but with all the foot protection and support you’re looking for.

The reason Weboo shoes are so good for your child’s feet is their innovative WeFit System. The WeFit system is based on research and recommendations by pediatricians and podiatrists and makes shoes the right fit for your growing child. They feature shoe flexibility, un-tapered foot beds and arch supports. The WeFit system also uses a revolutionary ExoTuff exterior, which keeps feet cool and allows air flow within the shoe. Finally, the Weboo shoes come with a built in sock liner to keep feet dry and comfortable.

The Weboo shoes come in all different kinds of fun animals, including zebras, puffer fish, sharks and dinosaurs. I received the Tisha slip-on, which is a shoe designed as a pony, complete with mane and tail. The detailing on the shoe is incredible: the texture of the shoe has grooves to look like real horse hair, there are little indents in the front for the nose holes and two realistic looking horse ears poke out of the front. Two brilliantly colored eyes and a matching bridle round out this adorable shoe.

My daughter was immediately smitten with these shoes, as I had suspected she would be. She loved the bright colors and the dangly strings that represented its mane. She wanted to wear them everywhere and with everything. Wherever we went, other kids would become fascinated by her shoes, and would come up close to get a better look. Tons of parents asked me where they could get their child a pair. She also liked playing with them. One day she got bored in her car seat and took the shoes off, and happily spent the rest of the car ride making horse noises and galloping them up and down the seat back.

I was glad they made her so happy, but I also liked them because of how high-quality they were. The shoes were very sturdy and made to withstand the test of time. The air holes and built-in socks kept my daughter’s feet cool, which makes a big difference when she’s outside all day in the sun. Also, they were super easy to slip on and off, making it so much easier to get out the door in the morning. I definitely plan on buying her a few more pairs.

Weboo shoes bring the best of both worlds to children’s shoes: fun and support. Their imaginative line of shoes will delight any child, and the innovative shoe design will let you rest assured that their feet are protected and comfortable. With back to school just around the corner, these shoes are right in style and perfect for kids of all ages.

WIN IT!

One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive a pair of Weboo shoes of your choice.

Please Mum offers a wider selection of high quality durable kids clothes for all age groups from newborn, toddlers and boy and girls up to age 12.

Being a mom is one of the greatest things that can happen to a woman like me. Motherhood brings out the best in me and makes me the person I never imagined myself to be. My love for my child always comes first, and the need to protect my baby from any form of harm makes me extra selective on things I want my child to use. This is a mother’s nature and nobody can take it against her. This very nature of a mother is what Babee Greens takes into consideration when it comes up with the Growing Greens Cotton Diaper.

This magnificent diaper fits a newborn of 5-10 lbs up to a toddler of 18-35 lbs. It is made of the softest fleece, 100% unbleached cotton and natural rubber elastic which makes it totally harmless for my baby’s tender skin.

It has an umbilical cord cutout that promotes healing for the newborn babies. What more, it has a built-in snap closures so there is no need for diaper pins. It has fitted elastic legs and waistbands and the opening makes it comfortably fit and offers protection against leaks. So, it is perfect for toddlers who play hard and rough. I do not need to worry about leaks on the carpet or the sheets. So, wherever or however my child plays, I am very much sure that she is comfortable and that I do not need to worry about the mess.

It is also the best for my baby who is presently being potty trained. Since it has an elastic waistband, my daughter simply pulls it down herself which makes it more convenient for her and makes training easier for me. Growing Greens really satisfies my baby’s need and mine as well.

My meticulous nature as a mother, however, does not stop there. It is not enough that my baby’s diaper is comfortable and that it is convenient for her potty training, it must also be safe for her sensitive skin. Growing Greens organic cotton diaper is earth friendly and absolutely safe as it is made from certified organic cotton free from harmful pesticides and chemicals. It is certainly better than conventional cotton fabrics which are sprayed with pesticides, fertilized with synthetic fertilizer and bleached with Chlorine to achieve cotton whiteness. Growing Greens, on the other hand, uses organic cotton which is fertilized by organic matter and safe peroxide to whiten the cotton.

Now, I do not have anything to worry about. By using Growing Greens Cotton Diaper for my daughter, I am very much assured that my baby uses only the best, and why not? She deserves only the best I could give her, comfort, convenience and safety.

Mother knows what is best for her baby and a smart mother only chooses that which makes her baby feel good the whole day or night, while playing or sleeping. Moreover, a smart mother also thinks about the welfare of Mother Earth not for her but for the next generation in which her child belongs.

WIN IT!
