Maclaren Volo

Maclaren Volo

I love the Maclaren Volo because it is so light and easy to use. No more hauling around that bulky stroller if you get the Volo. It weights only 8.6 pounds and is very easy to close. There is an easy use carrying strap and a removable mesh seat.

The are foam handles are ergonomically correct and it has self locking wheels. Includes a sun and rain cover. Five point harness keeps Baby safe. For Babies six months and older. Phthalate and lead free.

Victoria Beckham, Rachel Griffiths, Michelle Williams, and Jennifer Garner all love their Volos. It costs $114.99, but it’s worth every penny. It comes in four colors, citrus lime, raspberry pink, coffee brown stripe, scarlet at major baby stores.

This stroller was also reviewed at The New Parent Blog.

Weebit Piggies

Weebit Pigies

The above picture for this infant shoe doesn’t do it justice. The green piggie is so cute it’s irresistible. I bought my son the green shoe and they are just too cute. These infant shoes are hemp with organic cotton linings and the rest is all recycled products.

There is also a pig on the bottom of the shoe for extra traction. They come in four colors, blue, green, red and khaki. Again you can feel good about helping the environment without sacrificing style. Go to simpleshoes.com for $24.00.

Bundle Me by JJ Cole

Bundle Me by JJ Cole

I don’t know what I would have done with out my JJ Cole Bundle Me. My son was born in January and the day we took him home it was -10 degrees outside. Thankfully we got a Bundle Me.

Now he still had on a ton of layers but with the Bundle Me it was much easier transporting him in the winter. I didn’t have to dress him in big snowsuits I just zipped him in. The Bundle Me always kept him warm and never even came out of his car seat, except to be washed.

JJ Cole also makes a Bundle Me Lite which we used in the spring. I would highly recommend the Bundle Me’s to make a busy mom’s life just a little easier. You can find them for $39.00 at major baby chains.

Chicco Polly High Chair

Chicco Polly High Chair

After reading a review of this high chair I had to get it. There are so many convenient features it makes feeding Baby all the easier. There are seven different height positions for the seat and the seat reclines also to three different positions. I found this really comfortable for those first feedings.

The Polly also has an adjustable footrest so it grows with Baby. The tray can be removed with one hand and it comes with two dishwasher safe inserts for easy cleaning. Further there are removable, padded seat covers to get in those hard to reach places we all know about.

Bonus it folds completely flat with the tray able to hang on the back of the high chair legs. Five-point safety harness and no BPA’s in the plastic. There are also locking wheels for easy movement. It is a bit more expensive but can be used for a long time. Get your own for $140.00 at most retail baby stores.

Dwell Baby

Dwell Baby

When I first went to register for Baby at Target I thought I’d just get the must-have items. However I quickly realized Target has some pretty cool things. I really love their Dwell Baby collection, especially the Zoo theme. The bedding is 200 thread count and the accessories are too cute.

They have everything from bear rugs, giraffe toys to rhino pillows, and they are affordable. Any little boy would love it. Prices range from $6.99 to $79.99.

I pity the fool…

Mr T Shirt

Did you grow up in the ’80s? Well I did and I can’t resist this Mr. T. It will make any infant too cool. This cotton onesie has a felt appliqué of Mr. T in all his coolness. Available in white and red from infants to kids. Plus they are all handmade! Get your own for $18.00 at etsy.com.
