ILoveCO says "Perfect Diaper for Younger Baby" about Pampers Swaddlers

ILoveCO — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:59:44 GMT

I absolutely love the Pampers Swaddlers. They are a perfect fit for a boy or a girl. I like that they are softer than other diapers on the market, too. The Pampers Swaddlers are comparable in price to other name brand diapers and in my opinion are better. I had some problems with other diapers leaking, even when it was a new, clean diaper, which I found a little annoying. That has not happened to me with the Pampers Swaddlers. The only downfall with the Pampers Swaddlers is I wish they had a cut for the umbilical cord stump in the newborn diapers. I typically just fold the front down but I think that would be a great feature, at least in the newborn diapers. I like that Pampers offers these diapers in small or large quantities. I also like buying any kind of Pampers to take advantage of the Pampers rewards programs, in which you can collect codes from any Pampers products and enter the codes online. Overall, I would definitely recommend Pampers!

ILoveCO says "Great bottle, easy for mom and baby!" about Avent Baby Bottles (All Sizes)

ILoveCO — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:18:54 GMT

I have used Avent bottles with all three of my kids and would absolutely recommend them to any parent. Avent makes a wonderful product. The bottles are very easy to clean, I put mine in the dishwasher. I also use them to freeze milk in and they have held up very well. One thing that has always impressed me about the Avent bottles is that all three of my children had to use them at just a couple of days old because they had jaundice and needed formula. They all three drank from the bottles with no problems. They latched on right away and didn't seem to suffer from gas bubbles afterwards. Having worked in daycare I have seen much older babies struggle latching onto other bottles, even being considerably older than a newborn. Avent has four different stages of nipples, too, making it an easy transition for baby as he/she gets older and needs a faster flow. I have always used Avent and will continue to do so.

ILoveCO says "Well worth the money!" about Peg Perego Prima Papa High Chair

ILoveCO — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:10:48 GMT

I bought the Peg Perego Prima Papa Diner with my second child and absolutely fell in love with it. First of all it is a lot more stylish than other highchairs I have seen and I really liked that. The seat is made of leather so it wipes down very easily. I think one of my favorite aspects is that there are two trays so when baby is done eating you can remove the top try to clean and there is a second tray underneath to put toys on or what not. Another cool aspect is that it rocks. You can drop the legs down and it turns into a rocker which I have never seen on any other highchair. I don't use that feature a lot but it is cool. It also has a 5-point harness on it to strap baby in. The weight limit is pretty high, too (though I don't remember exactly what it is) so your toddler can still safely sit in it. I find the highchair to be high quality and very durable. It is a little pricier but well worth the money.

ILoveCO says "Must-have for baby" about Halo Micro Fleece Sleepsack Wearable Baby Blanket

ILoveCO — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:22:55 GMT

The Halo sleepsack is a must-have for baby. I did have the micro fleece sleepsack but I would recommend any of the Halo sleepsacks. I always worry about my children getting too warm with the long sleeve sleepsacks on so I really like that this is sleeveless. It's great to put on long sleeve winter pajamas and then the sleepsack without worrying that your child will be uncomfortable (either too hot or too cold). I had this product when my kids were little babies up until theycould walk. It's much safer than putting a blanket in their bed with them. It gave me peace of mind because I never worried that my child(ren) were getting tangled up in blankets. The Halo sleepsacks also come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. I like that they also come in cotton and fleece, depending on the weather. They also have some for littler babies that allow you to swaddle the baby. Halo makes a great product and I highly recommend this sleepsack.

ILoveCO says "I trust this monitor" about Bebe Sounds Angel Care Movement Sensor Baby Monitor

ILoveCO — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:16:08 GMT

I bought this monitor with my second child. I was always so weary whenever I tucked my first into bed because I was so nervous something might happen. So for my second child I decided to spend a little more money and but the Bebe Sounds Angel Care Movement Sensor Baby Monitor. It had great reviews and the price wasn't too bad. The monitor has a flat pad that you put under the mattress that detects movement. If there is no movement for more than 20 seconds an alarm sounds. I rarely had problems with this going off even when my baby was ok. Luckily, when the alarm did sound everything was ok. It never really bothered my daughter when the alarm sounded either. The monitors can plug in or have batteries so it's convenient to carry the monitor anywhere in the house. I feel this monitor is great, durable and definitely provides peace of mind. I feel pretty confident when the monitor is on and would definitely recommend this product.

ILoveCO says "Best dog food and a brand I trust" about Dog Dogs Flint River Ranch Puppy And Adult Food 20 Lbs

ILoveCO — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:56:39 GMT

I started buying Flint River dog food right after the dog food recalls. Flint River is all natural so you don't have to worry about what your dog is eating. I buy the Adult/Puppy kibble and my dog loves it. It also helps keep the dogs coat shiny and I just feel good about giving to him. We have also tried the treats and he enjoys those, too. The company does not put tax on your order and offers free, fast shipping. When I order my food I usually get it within 1-2 days. I have been very impressed with Flint River and will continue buying from them.

ILoveCO says "Love this pregnancy test!" about Clearblue Easy Clearblue Easy Pregnancy Test

ILoveCO — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:50:32 GMT

The product Clearblue Easy pregnancy test is wonderful. My last pregnancy I had started out using another pregnancy test with the pink lines. The lines were so light it was hard to tell if they were even there or not. When it comes to pregnancy tests I needed to be absolutely sure so I decided to try the Clearblue Easy test. It was easy to use (just like other pregnancy tests) but the response came up very clearly with the word "pregnant" clear as day. Therefore I had no doubts I was pregnant and was able to start spreading the wonderful news!

ILoveCO says "Cool toy but tricky to transform" about Transformers: Movie Voyager Ironhide

ILoveCO — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:08:07 GMT

My son recently got the Ironhide Transformer as a gift. He loves it but like every other Transformer he owns it is hard to transform. He has many Transformers and it seems like most need to be transformed by an adult and even then they can be a bit tricky. It also has a gun or missle on the back that doesn't seem to stay attached too well. We have dropped it many times. He loves this toy but it does have a few parts so it's best to not take it all over the place, as my son has done. It seems the pieces can be lost very easily. Otherwise a cool toy.

ILoveCO says "Great Zoo!" about Henry Doorly Zoo - Omaha, NE

ILoveCO — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:03:13 GMT

I live in Omaha so I have had the opportunity to go to the Henry Doorly Zoo many times. In fact, we have a pass which is definitely worthwhile. The zoo is great. They are always doing new things to improve it. In the last 2 years they have added the Butterfly Pavillion, the Skyfari and opening soon is the Madagascar unit. My kids love going to the Kingdom of the Nights with the alligators and bats as well as the Jungle. There are also a lot of animals to see outside. The zoo has a train and a tram you can ride around on as well. I would absolutely recommend anyone to see the Henry Doorly Zoo if in Omaha. There is a lot to see so allow enough time.

ILoveCO says "Worth the Price" about Britax Boulevard

ILoveCO — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:42:21 GMT

The Britax Boulevard Car Seat is well worth the money. It is more expensive compared to some car seats on the market but it is wonderful. Britax car seats alone are awesome but I like the Boulevard for other features. It has side walls for better side impact protectin in case of an accident. I also like the most Britax car seats go up to 65 pounds so you won't be buying your child a bunch of car seats. Britax car seats are very secure. My son has a Britax Marathon which is about 5 years old and has held up great.

ILoveCO says "Excellent activity for car or home" about LeapFrog® Leapster® 2 Learning System- green

ILoveCO — Sun, 31 May 2009 21:49:05 GMT

My 5-year-old son got the Leap Frog Leapster 2 for Christmas this past year. He absolutely loves it. It comes with a Leap Frog game and then we bought him the Sonic game. The games are reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other gaming systems. Plus the games come in lots of different popular characters, so there is still quite a list my son would like to get. He has taken this on road trips and it was a life saver at times. Its small enough to put in a back pack or purse but the buttons are easy for a preschooler to use. Its also durable. The only thing I might recommend is buying rechargeable batteries because with anything else, if it's on a lot the batteries die quickly.

ILoveCO says "Great, easy-to-use" about Fisher-Price cool school

ILoveCO — Sun, 31 May 2009 21:43:26 GMT

I bought this toy for my preschooler this past Christmas. He really has enjoyed playing with it and loves all the different activities you can do on the computer. I thought it was cool they even have a "field trip" for the kids to take. My 2-year-old became interested watching her brother and she has figured how to turn it on and off and get to the coloring screen, her favorite activity. I like how thye have different games to, though we still need to try those out. The program it comes with is great and very educational.

ILoveCO says "I LOVE my iPod Touch" about Apple iPod touch Second Gen (8 GB, MB528LL/A) Digital Media Player

ILoveCO — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:48:25 GMT

I love, love, love my iPod Touch. I have had it for about nine months and think it has to be the greatest electronic out there. It does everything. I have about five pages of apps on it and about 700 songs. My iPod is only an 8 gig but with everything I have (which I feel like is a lot) I still have about 3 or so gigs left. It is absolutely worth the money. The only thing I would say is when you buy the Touch, be sure to but screen covers and a case for it right away so it doesn't get smudged or scratched. Also, it does not stay charged as long as the iPod Classic but that has not been a problem for me thus far.

ILoveCO says "Must-have for any parent with a new baby" about The Boppy Company Bare Naked Pillow

ILoveCO — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:40:51 GMT

I have two kids with one on the way. I didn't realize how essential the Boppy Pillow was until my second child. I received the Boppy Pillow as a gift before my daughter was born so I was able to bring it to the hospital with me when I had her. It was so nice to use for breast-feeding. Also, I had a c-section so I put it around my waist with the baby propped on it to nurse. It was wonderful and so much better than using regular pillows. As my baby got older I used it to prop her so she could look around, and later used it to for her to learn to sit. It truly is well worth the money and I would reccomend this product to everyone.

ILoveCO says "Cute- but definitely not Cars" about Wall-E

ILoveCO — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:09:39 GMT

I thought Wall-E was a cute movie. I wasn't quite sure what to expect so my expectations weren't that high. It was good though, and I was not disappointed. However, for a Disney/Pixar movie it was definitely not Cars or Toy Story or Finding Nemo. There was very little dialogue, which I sometimes find boring. I thought the music was good, and the plot of the movie was cute. My 5-year-old son loved it so there was a draw there for younger kids. I would recommend seeing it but I don't know that it is a movie I would run out and buy....

ILoveCO says "Great toy for a Preschooler" about Leapfrog Clickstart My First Computer

ILoveCO — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:26:57 GMT

My then 4-year-old son got the Leap Frog Click Start Computer last year for Christmas. He has really enjoyed playing it. He caught onto the keyboard and mouse immediately. It comes with one game that has various activities on it. We have since bought him the Toy Story game and the Finding Nemo game. He enjoys playing the games, especially the Toy Story game, and I like that it is educational. Now at age 5 he seems to be an old pro at it. I think the biggest downfall is that it requires batteries for both the keyboard and the console. They take AA's and C's respectively. Other than that we have really enjoyed this and would recommend it to others....

ILoveCO says "Love it!" about Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Home

ILoveCO — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:16:34 GMT

I bought the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Home for my daughter when she was about 18 months. She absolutely loves it. There is so much to do on it. This toy sings songs, counts, and does the ABC's. It is also extremely interactive in that you can open and close the door and window, turn the hands on the clock and turn the light on and off. It also has a shape sorter. A year later she still plays with it daily. I also take care of another little girl during the day who is 1 years old, and she loves it too. Her mom just bought her one for her 1st birthday. I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone, boy or girl....
