Britax Boulevard 70 Review and Winter Travel Event

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:30:00 +0000

Britax is one of the best know car seat brands available and has been for years. The Boulevard 70 is a convertible car seat that holds babies from 5-40lbs in a rear facing position and children from 20lbs (at 1 year of age) to 70lbs or 49" tall.

I personally have one in my car, and it is the easiest of the three different convertible car seats our family owns to install. My son is tall for his age and is very comfortable in it (more so than in the other two seats, his escape attempts are far fewer and never successful in this seat). Unlike with our other seats, this car seat has never damaged the surface of the seat below it. The cover stays on well and the recline is suitable for even my tall toddler, boosting him enough to see out the window. When we replace the unmentionable second car seat, we will be getting another Boulevard. I definitely recommend a Convertible Car Seat Child Cup Holder or two, sold separately, to hold your kiddos drink and snack in the car.

This car seat has many safety features, including:
- SafeCell™ Technology - significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front seat
- Integrated Steel Bars - strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash.
- Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether® - staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat
- True Side Impact Protection - offers a head restraint creating an extra layer of energy-absorbing EPP foam, keeping the head, neck and spine “in true” or aligned, and deep side walls lined with EPP foam to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body
- Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness - distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit
- Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS™) - provides resistance to forward movement in the event of a crash

Other great features:
- High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child
- Plush, Easy-Remove Cover with matching comfort pads and infant body pillow to provide extra comfort and easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the child seat
- Two Buckle Positions for your growing child
- Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately)
- Quick-Adjust, No-Rethread Harness repositions the harness shoulder height without disassembling the harness straps
- Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and simple installation featuring a push button for easy release
- Built-in Lock-Offs ensure a snug lap and shoulder belt installation with minimal effort
- Anti-Slip, Contoured Base grips and protects the vehicle seat while offering optimum vehicle fit
- Convenient Harness Holders keep harness straps out of the way when placing your child in the car seat
- Certified for Aircraft Travel
- Made in the USA with global components

To Bumper or Not to Bumper?

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:30:00 +0000

That is the big question currently being asked by bedding manufacturer and retailers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is re-evaluating the issue. Scott Wolfson, a CPSC spokesperson said, "We haven't come to a policy decision, but we are working to be able to give parents the best advice we can." For now, we are waiting to hear from the CPSC on this matter and in the meantime, offering advice and alternitive options.

Many bedding manufacturers have begun selling their bumpers as an option rather than part of their crib sets, such as this Carter's Elephant Green set; or selling pieces individually, such as the Tribal Tails set by Kidsline. Also, alternatives to bumpers are cropping up on the market recently. A few innovative products were seen by our buyers at the 2011 ABC Kids Expo last month that will be in stores later this year and early next year. In the meantime, we do carry some alternative mesh breathable bumpers. What are your thoughts regarding using bumpers?

What's in Your Diaper Bag?

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:30:00 +0000

So, being the curious person I am, I always wonder what other mom's are toting around in their diaper bags. Here is roughly the content's of my toddler's bag.

Disposable Diapers (We only use cloth at home these days)
Wipes
An extra pair of training pants (for when we are feeling brave)
Extra Play clothes
Wet Bag (Carry over from cloth days, great for dirty or soaked clothes)
Swim clothes: Rash guard, swim diaper and sun hat (in nice weather)
Hoodie (in cooler weather)
Sunscreen, Boogie Wipes, Bug Repellent (all year)
Things to Keep Little Man Busy:
Flashcards (His doctor was amazed at how many long Dinosaur names he knew)
A Ball (this one squishes and fits nicely in the bag)
His favorite Jelly Cat Dino
Zoli Teething Sticks
Snack Cup and Snack Bag (for refilling the cup)
Sippy Cup
Disposable Bibs (After finding a really nasty moldy bib in the bottom of the bag)
Disposable Place mats (These are at least a bit more Eco-Friendly)

I wonder what Jamie Pressley has in her Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack?

I will admit that I do not always lug the bag with me. We often just take a quick change kit with us and leave the bag in the car.

I also keep these compressed wipes in my purse with a spare diaper in case of "emergency".

When my kiddo was tiny, my bag was less about entertainment and more about function:
Cloth diapers
Nursing Cover
Feeding Spoon
Teether Rings
Links
Stroller Toys (that we would link together)
Swaddle/Receiving Blankets (Used as burp cloths, towels, and emergency cloth diapers)

What? A Double Orbit Baby Stroller?

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:21:00 +0000

Yep, that's right! Orbit Baby introduces the Double Helix™ and the Helix Plus™ upgrade kit coming soon in Spring 2012... Can you guess what that means? Orbit Baby made sure current G2 stroller owners can double up too! This stroller has it all, Orbit Baby keeps your family healthy with the world’s first strollers and car seats using fabrics eco-certified safe by Oeko-Tex®ll! Flexible to adjust to whatever your family needs for the day (you don't have to lug out the double when you only have one child with you for the day). Just like the G2, both of the Double Helix™ can rotate 360°, so stroller time can be sibling time too! With 6 wheels and 24 QuadShock™ shock absorbers, the Double Helix steers anywhere and goes everywhere. Check out the video to see for yourself how amazing the new Double Helix™ really is!

Breastfeeding Tips From Our Facebook Moms

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:30:00 +0000

On our facebook page, we asked you to share your top breastfeeding tips.

The most shared advice was not to give up, it takes at least 8 weeks to get used to nursing. Surround yourself and your little one(s) with supportive people. If no one in your family breastfed and you want to, join the local chapter of La Leche League or hire a Lactation Consultant. Many hospitals now offer LC's by request during your child's first few days of life, find out if this is an option the hospital you plan to deliver at offers ahead of time.

Foo Fighters frontman David Grohl sits by his wife Jordyn while she nurses daughter Harper under Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover in Papillon.

Nursing takes commitment, time, and patience, but it is one of the best things you can do for you and your baby. Listen to people's advice, but listen to your body and your baby first. Drink lots of fluids, I carried a water bottle with me everywhere while I was nursing. Also, remember that you are still eating for two, avoid dieting and eat lots of healthy snacks throughout the day to ensure that you are both getting enough calories.

More tips include, set up a nursing corner in a quiet area of the nursery or your room. Equip your nursery corner with a comfy chair or glider and a small side table with all of your breastfeeding essentials: nursing pillow, nursing cover, lanolin, hydrogel pads, and bra pads. It's very helpful to have a nearby book, tablet, or eReading device to keep you occupied during long feedings. I sprung for an iPod dock with a remote in my nursing area and really enjoyed it.

Some moms (working or not) find it extremely helpful to have a breast pump. Goore's carries them for both rental and purchase. The best pump accessory I received was the Simple Wishes Hands Free Bustier. It may look silly but it seriously saved me. What tips do you have for breastfeeding moms?

BOB Special!!!

noreply@blogger.com (LenaLoo) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:00:00 +0000

BOB is a company that strives to create revolutionary innovation. They work hard to create great products that bring more freedom to those that love getting out into the natural world. It’s that simple really. Commit to quality and the rest falls in to place. Don’t rush to be the first, innovate to be the best. These are the same standards BOB began with 17 years ago.

Originally, the name of the company was Beast of Burden, which many thought was a burden unto itself. However, in typical California fashion, that mouthful was soon shortened to its acronym BOB. “BOB is easier to spell, funny and simple,” co-owner Roger Malinowski explains.
