kunkelmania says "Never got my replacement" about Infantino Sling Rider

kunkelmania — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:32:42 GMT

This sling was a Godsend for my husband and I when we were graced with a collicky baby. Put him in the sling and voila - he's finally asleep! They recalled the sling shortly after we received it and I sent my old one in for a replacement. I never got it! I think I'll just use my wrap next time around, since it doesn't hurt my back nearly as much....

kunkelmania says "Great High Chair" about Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair

kunkelmania — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:23:00 GMT

This is a great high chair for a decent price. My son will be able to use this for quite some time as it converts to a booster seat. It also reclines, if you wanted to use it with a younger baby. There is a five point harness that can be used, or you can simply use just the seatbelt. The tray cleans up nicely and pulls on and off with one hand. The fabric is also very easy to clean. My son seems comfortable in this high chair. We are very happy with this product!...

kunkelmania says "What would I do without this?" about Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 1.8" Screen

This monitor is wonderful! I'm not sure what I would do without it - I'm pretty sure my child would never sleep because I would be peeking in on him every second and checking up on every sound. With this monitor, you know exactly what's going on at all times. You are better able to let your child "cry it out" if need be, because you know for sure that they are safe. Now that my child is older, I am able to let him play in his crib before and after naps, because I can see that he is happy and just fine with hanging out for the time being. I can even go 25 feet away from the house and still have good reception. This is an excellent product and well worth the price. You won't sleep well without one!!!...

kunkelmania says "Provides "walking practice" and lots of fun!" about VTech Sit to Stand Learning Walker

kunkelmania — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 02:30:57 GMT

I originally bought this toy for the price. I found it for only $20 at Babies-r-us. I was a little skeptical at first because it was noisy and it tipped easily when my son tried to pull up on it. Because of that, I removed the piano part and placed it on the floor so he could play with it. He LOVES the sounds it makes and the puppy that sticks up from the board. Now that he's more stable when pulling up, he can pull up to it and hold on while pushing it forward. This toy is most definitely teaching him how to put one foot in front of the other! He gets it WAY out in front of him, while still holding on, and slowly puts his feet in front of him to get back to the toy. Even though he's toppled over with the toy on top of him a few times, he always goes back for more, squealing with delight every time!!...

kunkelmania says "Better than most other entertainers" about Baby Einstein Discover and Play Entertainer

I have seen many of the other entertainers around, and this one provides the most stimulating activities and learning opportunities. My son is entertained for a great deal of time with this toy, allowing me to get things done while knowing he is in a safe place. I like the fact that classical music is played by the push of a button. This is a great toy to put on your registry!

kunkelmania says "Even my husband loves this toy!" about Lamaze Musical Garden

kunkelmania — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 20:56:30 GMT

We borrowed this toy from a friend, and I think we'll purchase one to last us through all of our future children. This toy is great. The classical music played by the flowers is very nice to listen to, with a bell-like quality. The lights provide stimulation, and the crinkly material used for the petals is fun to chew! My son loves this toy and seeks it out wherever it is. We move it all around to encourage him to crawl. Although one of the cons mentioned is that the base tips easily, I find that the light weight makes it more fun for my son to maniupulate (and chew). Great toy from a great company.

kunkelmania says "Expensive, but worth the price." about Britax Marathon Car Seat

kunkelmania — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 20:49:55 GMT

Although this car seat is more expensive than many others, it is worth the price. The fabric is soft and comfortable, the padding on the straps allows my baby to sleep, and the size will accommodate him for many years to come. It is easy to install/uninstall, and it fits just fine in my mid-size car. Great car seat to buy! Go for it!
