Peachy is a simple idea that may just be the trick if you’re trying to teach hand-washing to a little one not quite tall enough to stick his or her hands under the faucet. Invented by a mom, it’s just a cute plastic duck that slips over the faucet spout and extends the water stream out closer to the front of the sink. Couple that with a step-stool and most kids who stand can use this. The only trick is that you still will probably have to turn the faucets on and off. But it will save your back from having to lift your child up over the sink to get close to the water.

Obviously, I am not the one testing this product so here are my wife’s comments.

“I wanted this model so I could multi-task while during my 3-month maternity leave.  The hands free straps worked very well securely holding all the necessary parts in place but only worked with clip down style nursing bras.  I only had to press the breast shield less than a minute against my breasts before the milk started flowing. The pump mechanism is light and easy to carry.  I placed the pump on the table and didn’t use the included belt clip.

When I went back to work, I put everything I needed in the nice tote bag which looked like just another bag.  I am generally satisfied with the Freestyle breast pump.  My only suggestion is to have a sealed container that I can put the parts other than the bottle. They got messy with my milk once I finished pumping.

In terms of milk storage, I used the Medela “Pump & Save” Breastmilk Bags, freezing the extracted milk immediately after pumping.  Without using the bottles, I could directly collect my milk in the storage bags.  It is a bit pricier than general ones. However, it’s really worth it! “

-       Pros: Hands free straps really work. You can definitely multi-task while pumping.

-       Cons: Hands free straps work only with clip down style nursing bras.  (My wife prefers wrap nursing bras that could not accommodate the straps.

The Premium Temple Touch Thermometer makes life much easier by making it simple to check our baby’s temperature. We press the on button and await the first beep indicating the room temperature and it’s ready to read by placing it on her temple and await the beep that indicates the completion of the reading. We generally use it when the baby is nursing. She is preoccupied with getting enough milk so absolutely no more bouts of squirming with a thermometer under her armpit. This is a real hit with my wife. I would say that the only down side is getting errant readings because your placement and pressure on the temple is off. It make take a few tries before you get the hang of it so we generally check two to three times to verify a temperature range that may vary plus or minus 0.3 degrees (F).

The Premium Temple Touch Thermometer is $29.99 at Amazon.

Pros: Simple to use, Accurate

Cons: None

We highly recommend it. It definitely makes the task of temperature taking much easier than before.

When I pulled the Aprica Presto stroller out of the box, it was apparent that this one is sturdier than most “lightweight strollers”, no rattling or “tin”-iness about it. It assembled easily and quickly by snapping the wheels into place and unfolding it required a simple pull up on the handles (though intuitively, I kept wanting to push down) and a push down of the locking mechanism with a very few opportunities to pinch yourself in the process. The canopy is thoughtfully designed providing generous cover (the pop out sun visor is a plus) from the elements with a hidden window for ventilation and view of the little one. The seating is positioned nice and high allowing easy access to the basket below and making it a little easier to place and pick up my child. The seating reclines fairly significantly with a pull of a strap and a release tab. The 5-point harness is adjustable, sturdy and simple to clip together with plenty of strategically placed padding for my child’s comfort. The only tricky aspect of this stroller is making sure that the front wheels are locked in the correct position before folding it up. Otherwise, it will not stand on its own.

Pros:

• Assembles Easily
• Easy to fold up and stow
• Stylish, Simple
• Lightweight
• Sturdy

Cons: None

The Aprica Presto is very well designed and visually appealing (comes in four stylish colors: tea leaf green, loft brown, metro orange and highrise grey) “lightweight stroller” that is simple to operate and sturdy. This product gets my recommendation. By the way, a very nice raincover comes included.
