haileylafone says "Best single jogger!" about Jeep Overland Limited Edition Jogger

haileylafone — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:28:32 GMT

I have been using my Jeep Overland Limited Jogger for 3 years. I love it just as much now as when I first put it together. I love the Music On the Move. This was the feature that made me want this exact stroller. I love the case on the stroller for you to put your MP3 or CD Player. I also enjoy the speed and distance odometer. I love that I know how far I have been walking/running and for how long. It is also nice that it shows your speed so that you can keep a constant speed. I love the adjustable handle. I love that there are 2 parent cup holders and then another cup-holder on the child tray. I love that the stroller can with a hand air pump that you store in the bottom cargo space. I also enjoy that the weather shield came with the stroller too. The stroller has a great reclining seat. Both my children fall asleep easily in this stroller and stay comfortable. This stroller is super easy to fold and unfold. The one con I have is that the front wheel does...

haileylafone says "The best invention ever!" about BabyLegs Leg and Arm Warmers

haileylafone — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:50:20 GMT

I first tried BabyLegs Leg and Arm Warmers after seeing them on Oprah. They are the best invention yet. They were created by Nicole Donnelly, a stay-at-home mom. I love that my 3 year old AND my 7 month old an wear the same BabyLegs. YOU (as the adult/parent) can wear them too. They are great for those cool days. I just sliip them on my infants legs for more warmth with a onesie. They make diaper changes very easy. You do not have the fuss of getting pants or shorts on and off of your baby. I also absolutely LOVED them when Caroline (who is now 3) was learning to crawl. They saved her little knees from tons of carpet burn. Caroline also loves wearing them on her arms. We use them for dance outfits to add color using leg wamers. They are very inexpensive. They are one size fits ALL. They come in a TON of beautiful designs. They come in designs for boys AND girls. They now have New BabyLegs® Cool and also have SuperSoft BabyLegs.

They are fabulous and...

haileylafone says "Best that money can buy!" about Medela Pump in Style

haileylafone — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:36:36 GMT

I bought the Medela Pump in Style when I had my first daughter 3 years ago. I absolutely love it. It is lightweight and easy to carry from one place to another. It is small and compact. All of the parts are easy to clean. The pump was easy to hook up and use. I love that the pump was built into a carrying bag. I love that there is a little pocket for your child's picture (totally helps when you are away from you baby). It was wonderful to be able to pump both breasts at the same time. Another great plus was the back up battery pack for those times when you were somewhere with no power outlet (for example, the car). Some of the other pumps I looked at had few settings. This pump was awesome and had a wide varitey of settings. It was very durable and has held up for my two children. I also let a friend borrow it (just the pump not the parts or tubing of course) when she had her baby and it has lasted for her. The only con I have is that it was difficult to find...

haileylafone says "Best money we have ever spent!" about Summer Infant Nature's Purest Bassinet - Hug Me

haileylafone — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:39:12 GMT

We love our Summer Infant Nature's Purest Bassinet. This was the best money we spent. Our youngest daughter is a preemie. She was born at 32 weeks. She slept in this bassinet for the first 7 months of her life. She loves it just as much as us. The bedding is so soft. It is made with premium, organically grown and naturally colored cotton. It is very easy to clean. My husband put it together by himself so it wasn't that difficult to put together. I love the extra storage under the bassinet. I kept all of my sheets and blankets under there along with diapers and wipes. It was nice to have everything you needed right there within hands reach. I also love that this bassinet rocks AND has wheels. The wheels offer stability as well as easy moving. I love that this bassinet is not super huge. It stayed in our bedroom right beside our bed. It hardly ever got in the way. If it had to be moved it is very lightweight and easy to move. The top come apart from the...

haileylafone says "A little disappointed." about Eddie Bauer Astoria Enspira Deluxe Convertible Car Seat

haileylafone — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:23:40 GMT

I searched for the perfect carseat. Most of the carseats I loved were way too pricey. I was shopping and saw the Eddie Bauer Deluxe Convertible on sale for $90. I was sold. I bought the carseat without reading reviews or consumer reports. I have decided to never do that again. I have been a bit disappointed in this carseat. The carseat straps are very difficult to tighten. I do not like the head rest. When my toddler falls asleep in this carseat her little head flops over. There is no where for her to lay her head. At first I loved the cup holder. However, the cup holder will not stay attached to the carseat. My daughter would put her sippy cup in it and it would fall off. I do like the simple look of this carseat. It is a beautiful designed carseat. The black is a great color. We have enjoyed the LATCH Anchor System. I have also enjoyed that it is a forward and rear facing carseat. We are still searching for the perfect carseat under $150!

haileylafone says "I've used better" about Evenflo Purely Comfi Baby Bottle

haileylafone — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:08:16 GMT

I first used bottles that I felt like had a million pieces. Then, I began using the Evenflo Purely Comfi Baby Bottles. I was happy with them in the beginning. There were minimal pieces and the bottles were easy to clean. I love that they are tall and slinder. This makes it easy for my 7 month old to hold her own bottle. I have been using these bottles for about a month and have had a few problems with them. Sometimes, the nipple will not screrw onto the bottle correctly. This causes MAJOR leaks. My poor baby had half of the bottle on her before I realized it was leaking. I have also had a problem with the bottoms of the bottles cracking. I premeasure my water in my bottles. I put the bottle in my diaper bag to later find that 3/4 of the water had leaked from the crack and had wet everything in the bag. We still haven't figured out how it cracked. We are still searching for the perfect bottle. This one was not it.

haileylafone says "We love our Bumbo!" about Bumbo Baby Seat

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 13:32:12 GMT

We love our Bumbo Baby Seat. We have used it with both of our daughters. It helped both children with sitting up. We also use it as a feeding chair because our daughter sits up straight and the seat is super easy to clean. I am always asked what kind of seat it is and how it works. The neat design interests people. The only con I have is that your baby can arch their back and pop out of the seat. We never had problems like this with our first child but with our second we have had to keep a close eye on her. She will pop out in a second.

This is a great product! I don't know what we would do without it.

haileylafone says "Love it!" about Graco SafeSeat

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 13:16:48 GMT

With my first child I did tons of research on carseats. When I found the Graco SafeSeat, I knew it was the one. It is fabulous. We are using with our second daughter now, who is 7 months old. It is very comfortable, easy to clean, simple colors that can be used for a boy or girl (we got the red). The carseat and carseat base are very easy to install. The straps are very easy to adjust. I have had some problems with a piece in the back getting caught. When this happens you cannot tighten the shoulder straps. It is very easy to fix. I feel like this carseat is very safe. It is a bit heavy but most infant carseats are. I also have had a problem with the shade falling behind the seat.

Overall this carseat is great. We love it and would buy another Graco SafeSeat if we bought another one.

haileylafone says "Wonderful monitors!" about Fisher Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Recievers

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 12:58:19 GMT

The Fisher Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Recievers is the best money we ever spent. We love them! I love that there are dual recievers so I can keep one in the bedroom and one in the living room. I don't have to carry the reciever everywhere I go. I also love the light/sound feature. Sometimes you aren't sure if you heard them crying so you watch for those lights. I also love that when signal is lost your receivers begin to beep letting you know there is a problem. I love these monitors! We have never had any problems.

haileylafone says "A must-have for any parent!" about Babybjorn Original Baby Carrier

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 12:43:57 GMT

My Baby Bjorn Original Baby Carrier is one of my favorite carriers. My seven month old loves it because she can see everything that I am doing when she is in it. I love that it is a carrier that actually lets me use two hands. With some carriers, I felt like I had to still hold on to the baby with one hand. My Baby Bjorn is very easy to use. It is very easy to clean. My 7 month old gets cranky in it after a little while because it become uncomfortable to her legs and she can get extremely hot in it. Another con is the price. My Baby Bjorn was about $90. It was well worth the money to us AND I have used it with two children because it held up so well the first time. It is fabulous and we love it!

haileylafone says "My lifesaver!" about HotSlings Stretch Baby Sling/Wrap

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 12:37:00 GMT

I LOVE my HotSlings Stretch Baby Sling/Wrap. It is my lifesaver. It is amazing. My daughter is 7 months old and has been in it since she came home as a 4 pound, one month old preemie. It is very safe. It holds many different aged babies. My daughter seems very comfortable in it. They even sent me a DVD to teach me how to fold and wear it the many different ways that it can be worn. It is super stylish and cute. I adore it. It stays with me at ALL times. My seven month old lives in it (especially when I am trying to cook dinner). :-) My only con is that it has to be fitter properly. However, before ordering there is a size chart that it very easy to read and understand that will help you choose the right size for you.

haileylafone says "Too many pieces!" about Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottle

haileylafone — Sat, 02 May 2009 12:30:37 GMT

When I wasn't able to breastfeed any longer, I started using Dr. Brown's with my daughter. They were great bottles but had way too many pieces. I hated washing them because they had five pieces. My dishwasher bottle basket was full by the time I disassembled 2 bottles. They were also a little difficult to clean with a brush when I washed them in the sink. There were places on some of the parts that I felt like I couldn't get completely clean so I would throw them in the dishwasher even after handwashing them. Other than the many pieces, Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottles were great. I had very few leaks and really reduced gas in my baby.
