Safety 1st Easy Care Swing Tray Booster

After testing out many creative ways of feeding our daughter at friends' houses, we finally decided to get a portable high chair. We did it on a whim, and without doing much research, and ended up with the Safety First Easy Care Swing Tray Booster. At the store we shopped at, we had a choice of this one for $17, and the next step up was $30. In a moment of thriftiness, we picked up this one. It served our purpose well for that evening, but after reading other reviews on amazon, I'm starting to question if saving the extra money was really worth it.

Baby Einstein Take Along Caterpillar

Our friend's daughter had one of these and loved it. It attaches to the handle of the baby seat and hangs down within easy reach for your child. It plays 2 classical songs, and has different textures, rattles, a baby-safe mirror, and other things to keep your baby entertained. Our friend's daughter liked it so much she'd often fall asleep with one arm up still clutching on to it.

Both our daughter and our niece have one of these. Our daughter is not quite able to walk with it or ride yet, but she loves pushing it around the floor and playing with the spinners, gear shift, and flexible antenna. She can sit on it with a little help, and is just beginning to be able to stand behind it and walk a little with assistance.

The First Years Thermal Doll

Very cute little doll for babies. It is very soft and easy for little hands to hold on to. Washes easy with other cloths and items. Our daughter loves it. I am thinking we need to get one more and put it up just in case something happens to this one. Of the many stuffed animals we have, our daughter only seems to pay attention to this one and one other.

Chicco C6 Stroller

We registered for one of these and have been using it as our secondary stroller from the moment our daughter was old enough to sit up on her own. The stroller is certainly as light and compact as any folding stroller, but when folded out is surprisingly sturdy. The folding and locking action are smooth and easy, and it even has a shoulder strap for carrying around while folded up. The reclining seat has a range of motion similar to other umbrella strollers. The 5 point harness is a plus, and certainly ensures that your little one will not accidentally slip out of the seat.

Why are we reviewing computer backup software on a baby product website? Like us, you probably take photos of your precious little one(s), and very likely with a digital camera. Are you disciplined enough to back up all of those digital photographs? What if your computer is stolen or your house catches on fire? What if the hard drive fails? Do you have backups? Are they up to date and stored in an alternate location?

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Animal Sounds Guitar

Our neighbor's daughter has this toy and has really enjoyed it. It is basically a guitar shaped see-n-say, teaching the numbers 1 through 5, and animal names and sounds. The guitar also features a musical sing-along mode. Construction seems durable, the music is pleasant. Volume controls allow you to keep it at an appropriate level for your environment. Our daughter is just starting to play with it, on the floor, but our neighbor's older daughter is already holding it like a guitar as she sings along with it.

The First Years - Nursing Privacy Wrap

This wrap for me seemed like a good idea when we purchased it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. It did not fit well, and was a little too short for my taset. It's a little tricky to get on right under any circumstances, nevermind when you're trying to put it on and hold your baby at the same time. It did not come with any instructions, so we buckled the strap as best as we could, but it never really seemed to serve much purpose. We chose the black one, and although the fabric is very light, it just does not breathe well at all. I would not recommend this product.

Infantino Sling Rider Baby Carrier in Black Toile

The wide, adjustable strap feels comfortable and secure. After a few weeks of carrying our daughter around in our arms, this sling freed up our hands, which was a welcome feeling. The structure of the carrier and the positioning of the belt cause your baby to rest in a curved position, forcing their chin to their chest. The elastic also closes in over their face to some extent. On the one hand, I was always a little concerned about how well my daughter could breathe, and I would check on her very often.

Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer

The great thing about this thermometer is the speed at which you can take a reading. You simply press the button, and swipe from your child's temple to their forehead. You can get a reading so quickly that by the time your child even thinks to fuss or complain, you are already done.
