Early on, with all the talk about plastics leaching chemicals into foods, my husband and I made the decision to invest in glass baby bottles. This was great for our baby’s first few months, as we were the ones holding the bottles for her. However, as she became increasingly independent and wanted to hold the bottle herself, we needed a lighter and non-breakable alternative. So, when we heard about Pura Stainless Steel’s Kiki line of baby bottles, we couldn’t wait to try them out, …

My husband and I are big fans of baby carriers. However, as our baby has grown into an active and curious 20+ pound 11-month old, we’ve become more desperate in our pursuit of a comfortable carrier that doesn’t constrain our daughter. When the Belle Baby Carrier arrived in a compact box, we were skeptical. Unlike a lot of carriers, Belle is made with relatively minimal materials. How could it possibly provide enough support? Surprisingly, it does and it has …
Our baby girl is quickly getting taller and heavier, so when it came time to get a car seat to put in her grandma’s car we had to make sure it met some key criteria. To make life easier for grandma, this car seat had to be easy to lift our daughter into and out of and had to be easy to adjust to keep up with her rapidly changing dimensions. Also, to satisfy a doting grandma, something extra plush and comfortable would be the icing on the cake! The First Years True Fit Premier …
Cybex is a German baby gear company that manufactures a sleek car seat called the Aton. I love all of the safety features and the easy to install base. Plus it’s great that there is absolutely nothing cutesy about this baby gear! Aton carseat Pros: The Aton is lightweight and easy to carry. The handle bar has 3 positions, for carrying, storing, and resting. I love the resting mode for when we are at home because it keeps my toddler from rocking the car seat and sleeping …
My husband and I were sick of scraping the sides of our regular stroller trying to squeeze through crowded stores, into elevators or, even worse, sitting with the enormous carseat attachment wedged between us in cramped restaurants in the city, so we decided it was time for an umbrella stroller. We went with the Cybex Onyx and it has been a wonderful addition! We were reluctant to get yet another stroller (we have an Orbit and a BOB) because we don't have much storage space, but the Cybex more …
My 3 month old got really sick with a cold virus and spent every sleeping moment, day and night, in my big bed. I had just gotten the Madii & Dyl Sooki Babe Pillow and decided to test it out on her and it was perfect in making her more comfortable and helping her sleep soundly. The doctor recommended elevating her head to keep the nasal drip from bothering her so she could breathe better and the Sooki Babe Pillow did the trick, safely. There is a contoured spot for her head to rest and …
Can you love a jacket too much? It's almost July in San Francisco, but I'm still wearing this jacket almost every morning on my walk before the kids gets up. The Rapide jacket protects from the wind with a water repelling exterior that still breathes and doesn't over-heat. The inside is a nice soft fleecy fabric. But, if you've ever tried on Helly Hansen, the love is in the styling, with sleek lines and subtle trim. Two glove pockets and two internal pockets give just enough for glasses, …
For any occasion, I carry my Samantha Diaper Tote when we go out. The tote is just so stylish - more stylish than some of my regular bags. I like my "Flutter" pattern but the truth is that I had a hard time choosing only one out of all the gorgeous patterns. What I like best about the Kokopax bag is that, though it's filled with baby stuff, it doesnt't make me feel like I am carrying a "diaper bag." The tote is roomy enough to hold a lot of things, but maybe a tad too roomy at times. The main …
This is a great bag for travel, but a bit too big for daily use for someone small like me. I used the Devyn Bag for my baby's first trip out of the city for a conference. I was a bit nervous about how well the storage pocket would keep our "liquid gold," frozen expressed milk. But to my surprise and relief, the milk and the icepack were still frozen hard when I opened the bag at the hotel after a four hour trip. The Devyn bag is has many pockets to keep things organized including a well …
