Just For Your Information

Being the Mom of four beautiful daughters, I have been in the kid business for almost 10 years now. I have tried many different baby products and paraphernalia. Some have been great and exceeded my expectations and some have been a flat out waste of money. So I thought I would share my findings with you other Mommies out there and maybe encourage you all to share your favorites too.
These are "My Top 3 Favorite Baby Items of All Time"!

1. Speedo Float Suits
I got our first suit when Summer was 2 years old. They are an absolute LIFESAVER! Lake learned how to swim with her suit when she was 1 1/2 years old. They give the child such freedom in the water. Once they learn how to get there balance in the water they can go everywhere in them. They have been great for times that we had to swim from the boat and we would be in 50 foot deep water and the kids could swim without any worries. They are very secure and comfortable. You inflate the floaties and then zip them into the suit. They are much more comfortable and secure than the hard foam float suits that we have used. I'm not sure if they are still making these because I couldn't find them this year but I had all the old ones saved back. If you have these suits-hang onto them. If you see these suits in a store-grab them! You'll be glad you did!


2. Baby Trend Snap 'N' Go Stroller
I got my first "Snap N Go" when Summer was a baby. I used it for Summer and Lake and then sold it with the old car seat and got a new one. These are great little strollers to use with your infant car seat. They fit almost any brand of infant car seat/carrier. You just snap the car seat on like you would a shopping cart and then buckle it down. It folds up super small and is easy to maneuver and fold with one hand. It also rolls very smooth. It is much more convenient than getting a big stroller/car seat combo. But it still has the convenience with a basket and cup holders. Until the baby is big enough to come out of the infant carrier this a wonderful light stroller.


3. The Moby WrapThis one has topped my list of favorite things! I just got it a week ago! I have had a few different slings and I even got a Baby Bjorn carrier, but this one beats them all HANDS DOWN! Rain does NOT like to be laid down. I'll hear about it if I do! This wrap is so secure and keeps her tightly to my chest. Once I get her in she falls right to sleep and will sleep for HOURS! It is extremely comfortable and has been a lifesaver! Just today, I did my hair, ironed a shirt, folded laundry and cooked dinner while wearing her in it. I then took it off to change her and go to a birthday party. After five minutes of being at the party she was crying and I put her back in it and she slept through most of the party until she got hungry. The best part is that your hands are FREE! Not just kind of free...totally free. You don't have to worry about their little heads flopping around or them falling out. I even put Sky in it to try it out. I could dance around the room with my hands in the air and she was completely secure to my body! Absolutely AMAZING! Plus, it's so cute to rub their little head and look down at their peaceful sleepy face! It is a WONDERFUL product!
So here's a challenge to all my Mommy friends-Make a post of your favorite baby/kid things! Or just leave me a comment. It's always good to share our findings about these kinds of things. We can all help each other out and share the LOVE!
