REVIEW: Alpha Omega Elite

If you have a car, and you have a kid, then you are going to need a car seat.

You are going to probably need 3 actually: Infant carrier, toddler car seat, and eventually a big kid booster.  Not all at once, luckily.

Sadly, these seats aren't cheap.

But, what if you could buy one seat that could last you from newborn to big kid, and get it cheaper than any one of the above mentioned seats?

What if I told you that you can?

REVIEW: Combi Shuttle 33 Car Seat

Time to take the baby somewhere.  You need an infant carrier.  But not just any infant carrier, one from a Japanese company.

This carrier is lightweight, pretty straightforwards, and adjustable to accommodate your growing kid.

This won't last your kid forever, just because they are going to outgrow it.

The carrieritself however, will possibly last quite a while.

REVIEW: BabyTrend Diaper Champ - Diaper Pail

Poop Goes Here

So, you have a baby.  Babies poop.  And Pee.  A lot.

You have to put the soiled diapers somewhere.

Cloth, disposable: It doesn't matter; You have to store your stinkies until the next time they can be picked up.

I recommend this because you don't need anything special for it to function.  You are not forced to continue giving money to one company just to store your dirty diapers.

REVIEW: Puj Foldable Sink Tub

Puj Tub

So, it's time to wash the kid. Again.

If you got a newborn, this means a trip to the sink.

The bathtub is too big, and if you're like many people, you don't have the space for a dedicated baby tub.

So, what should you use?  I recommend the Puj Tub.

REVIEW: Deuter Kid Comfort III Kid Carrier Backpack

So, wanna carry your kid around, but don't want to have them in those kangaroo pouch looking things? Want to have them on your back, but also want to bring baby gear?  Are you into real hiking, and know what a hydration pack is?  Then this is the pack for you.

If you know a little bit about this pack and you're on the fence about it, then I'd say save yourself some time and stop reading now, and click buy.  You won't regret it.  Unless you're near broke, and need food instead of a backpack, then you might have some regrets.

REVIEW: Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing

One of the things that people first think about when they find out that they are going to have a baby is a swing.  Swings offer parents the ability to soothe their baby if they are being fussy, and rock them to sleep as they are drifting off to dreamland.  Most of all, Swings offer parents the ability to free up their hands for other activities, like folding baby clothes, preparing bottles or pumping, or even feeding themselves!

So, what does this swing have to offer?

REVIEW: Cloth diapering with GroVia and Bum Genius

Gro Via

              

Cloth diapering is really easy, and isn't as messy as most people seem to think it is.  Plus, it is alot cheaper than using disposables, even if you use a diaper delivery service.  Whether for environmental or economic reasons, cloth diapering is the best option in my opinion.

REVIEW: What to Expect When You're Expecting

This book is perhaps purchased mostly on impulse by first time expecting parents based solely upon it's title.    It's appearance in popular culture in TV and movies including the popular film "Knocked Up" with Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl has also brought it to the attention of those that are possibly soon to be parents, and haven't ever considered taking a trip down this section of the bookstore.

When impulse buying anything, you can be in for a shock when you discover that the product doesn't live up to your preconceived expectations.  Luckily in this case, the majority of buyers are going to be in for a delightful surprise.
