While discussing baby products with a friend of mine, he stated that he found out about some great baby products only after they were relevant and needed. I find that to be true, as well, and such a pity! The All-in-One cloth diapers from Bumkins are one of those products. Created and designed in the [...]

Review: Wee*Go Bottle by GoBabyLife
You have heard about it. You have seen the letters. You know it is bad for baby. But what it is? BPA stands for Bisphenol A and is found in some plastic baby bottles. Although the safety of using BPA in containers has been in question since the early 1900’s, some bottles still contain the [...]
Review: Onyx Stroller by Delta
Everyone looks for a good stroller – everyone. The stroller is a typical mainstay when travelling with a baby, at the mall or further from home. Before the stroller, and rarely in the Western World, everyone else was using slings or other devices to carry baby on the body – there is even Egyptian artwork [...]
Review: Infantino’s SlingRider
RECALLED 3/23/2010 for safety / suffocation issues.  Click Infantino recall for longer article. Bottles? check! Diapers? check! Sling? uh-oh!

Review: HotSlings
Through the next few reviews, I will focus mainly on the ins and outs of various slings – pros and cons from both a parent’s point of view as well as my perceived pros and cons from my child’s point of view.
…A note on picking your size and tip on using the Hotslings should keep you in good stead: it is imperative make sure you buy the correct size, not only for your comfort, but for your child’s safety and avoid overly baggy/loose clothing which may bunch and bundle under the shoulder area if user is not careful. Pros: Contemporary design Keeps baby extra snug Ability to hold baby or toddler a minimum of 3 different ways Cons: Price Slings are so individual – each one and every company has a different feel and style.
Boon snack ball
Boon Snack Ball – Simple, but elegant, our kids fight over these little balls filled with goldfish or other snacks. I don’t put them in their lunches though, for fear of losing them in the crowd. $6 from Amazon and BabiesRUs.
Ubimed Cleanoz Aspirator a good replacement for that gnarly rubber aspirator bulb
We had a chance to meet the inventor, Jose Bensoussan, of the Ubimed Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator Kit at the recent ABC baby and kids product show (2008) and he told a compelling story about this new device. … Many parents have been suspicious of the bulb since there is no way to really clean it out or sterilize it and it’s used inside the mouth and nose of very small babies. Better to leave it on the ground the next time it rolls off the changing table and use it as a dog pull toy.
Baby Light and Clip – great gadget for fingernail-clipping dads
Baby Light and Clip – Nail Clipper for Babies If you’ve ever struggled to cut a baby’s finger or toenails, you’ll love this little gadget. It’s a very simple little tool that incorporates a basic baby fingernail clipper and a light so you can clip in the dark while they are sleeping. And, if you’ve ever cut down too close and actually cut your baby (yes, it does happen) because baby was struggling, or you couldn’t see, this clipper has finger guard so you can’t push in too deep.

Oobr Clek Booster
We love the look and practicality of Clek boosters. The Paul Frank design here on their new booster is very popular with kids. My daughter, at 8, thinks of the clek as “her” seat.
