Review of Medela PersonalFit Small 21 mm Breastshields, 2-pk

I wanted to share my experience to help others decide if they should try a smaller breast shield. I have very prominent nipples/areolae (i.e. my areola is not flat on the breast but protrudes along with the nipple). Despite reading all the websites out there on proper fit, I had a hard time trying to figure out which part of my nipple/areolae was supposed to be in the tunnel. I experienced a lot of pain and bruising with the standard 24mm shields. Two different lactation consultants told me to go up to 30mm. The 30mm incorporated my entire nipple/areola and was even getting some regular breast tissue while pumping. Although the 30mm didn't hurt as much, it definitely was not comfortable--the discomfort was to the point where I worried that I was damaging my areola tissue because it was swelling so much afterwards. I also wasn't getting as much milk as I did with the 24mm. After looking at a lot of pictures of normal breast anatomy, I figured out that my nipple was not the whole protruding pigmented part of my breast, but just the tip (before it widens out into areola). I decided to go ahead and order these and I am so glad I did. Pumping doesn't hurt at all anymore--it is much more comfortable, almost to the point where I don't really notice it (compared to the other sizes, where I felt every single suction). My nipple fits into the tunnel without touching the sides and only a little bit of the areola goes in while pumping. If you are still not sure whether to get these, just remember that you know your body best and lactation consultants can sometimes be wrong.

Review of Step2 Play Up Gym Set

This is a great swing set. The main purpose of my review, however, is to emphasize that it is NOT easy to set up.
It took about 6 hours overall.
A few of the pieces were defective. One bolt was not cut properly and we had to go to the hardware store to replace it. In addition, a seam on one of the main plastic pieces had to be sanded down for the swing pole to be properly secured. It was quite a project.
The stakes used to secure the whole set are very challenging to install.

Like I stated, I'm pleased with the end result, but don't be fooled by the "easy to install" claim. Also, 2 people are definitely needed to install.

Review of SUPERGATE V 22-62WX31H

I see some negative comments here about this gate, but I disagree.We installed this gate 2 years ago in a high-traffic area between kitchen and front hall.Sure, it wasn't as easy to install as a pressure mounted gate, but you won't find another telescoping gate for a wide opening at this low a price.We have found it to be sturdy and easy for adults to open.The thing I like most about this gate as compared to other wide-opening gates is the fact that it telescopes (collapses) down to one panel's width and then can be swung flat against the wall on its pivots to get it out of the way.This is really handy for those times when baby is NOT in the room.We love this gate.

Review of Medela Quickclean Wipes - 24-pk

These wipes have been a huge help for pumping on the go. Whether I am pumping at work or in the car, they are great because you don't need to rinse your pump parts.You should know that it doesn't get to the very center of the shield behind the valve, because the only way that gets truly clean is by running water through it.But I have been using these wipes for about 6 months and I have had no problems with infections or anything else.I do wash them when I get home at night...The wipes are also nice and thick so they work for 2 shields and up to 4 collection bottles.

Review of Gorilla Playsets Blue Ridge Chateau II Swing Set

We love this play structure, but it takes a lot longer to arrive than Amazon estimates, so be aware of that! It arrived while we were on vacation, but the freight company held it until we got home.
It also takes a long time to put together, and we had some incorrect hardware included. We hired a professional to put it together, and it took him about 18 hours. I can't imagine how long it would have taken us!
Our 2.5 year old loves playing on it, and it looks lovely in our yard.

Review of Tike Tech Single City X3 Swivel Stroller

I tried holding off to giving a review for the first two Tike Tech City X3 strollers I have received (same models), giving it the chance to redeem itself once i get the next replacement.I have purchased the third Tike Tech city X3 stroller already and I think its fair enough that I give my opinion on it.

There are a few good things about the stroller.Comparing it with the BOB revolution i bought at first, this one has enough headroom for a baby to a toddler.My baby is 10 months old and 31" tall.This stroller also had a good seat material.Easy to clean and soft to touch.It is also very maneuverable in tight spaces and rough roads.The shocks are very good.It is easy to fold and has a separate velcro strap for keeping it closed, unlike the BOB.The basket underneath is just ok.It is very accessible even when the seat is fully reclined but it doesnt hold much.Stuff could fall off the sides.The 5-point harness is good and the seat is firm which my baby like and falls asleep in.Unlike the hammock-style seat of BOB which my baby didnt like at all.He kept crying as soon as i put him in.The easy recline is definitely better than BOB.

Now for the bad stuff:the reasons why i kept returning the strollers were the same.The front wheel wobbles, even when just brisk walking, not running or jogging! The wobbling shakes the whole stroller, sometimes almost like violently. Its scary as if the wheel would fall off.

The left side of the hood/sunshade won't attach in 2 out of 3 strollers. It kept coming off when you open up the stroller from folded down position.

Lastly, the brake on the left side wont engage!It would start rolling to the right when parked especially in an angled plane.It is such a safety concern!

All these concerns were made worse though by bad customer service.Ive tried religiously calling their customer service number for several weeks.Not once was I able to get in touch with ANY customer representative.The recording will always tell me to leave a message.I would always leave my phone number but NEVER got a call back.I sent numerous emails but I only got a response after a week and a half which didn't actually solve anything. I even tried leaving a message on their Twitter page.No reply. Its been a month now and nothing was resolved.Even if I get another replacement and it works for now, I will not be confident to keep it because if a problem arise in the future, Im very sure I will not get any help from the manufacturer.

Some minor concerns are, it wont fit in a smaller sedan, (i have a Chevy Aveo), unless I remove all wheels and a lot of maneuvering to be able to get it in the trunk. Its very heavy (i think all joggers are anyway).

All in all, i wasn't happy with this experience, after spending almost a thousand dollars on three of the stroller.Im just glad Amazon has the best customer service which alleviated my bad experience somehow.

Review of Peg Perego 2009 Pliko P3 Stroller

We researched LOTS of strollers, and ended up buying this one.What a great purchase!Yes, it's expensive...but I use it almost every day.It's easy to fold up and un-fold.I love the handle extenders, too.I didn't think I'd need them (I'm 5'8"), but I found myself kicking the wheels on my way out of the grocery store the other day.A quick push of the button, and presto!, the handles were longer.I love the way my daughter (1 year old) sits in it like a regular seat (although you can adjust the incline easily) and how the tray easily snaps in and out of place.The break is easy to apply with 1 foot, and the wheels swivel to turn without effort (unless I lock them) even when I'm only pushing the stroller with one hand (because I'm carrying something in the other hand).The material is really nice, too.

Review of Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem Stroller

As a mom of three and having owned a wide variety of strollers over the years I love the way this stroller looks and rolls out of the box.To me, this is such a lightweight, easy to fold, unfold and load into the trunk item.It rolls so smoothly and turns on a dime.The parent holder looks so cool and CAN be WASHED!!My three year old son fit well on the back seat and the smile he had on his face when I pointed out the handles so he could stand securely on the back told me he'll actually stay on this in the mall.My six year old, 43 pound daughter rode on the back with no weight in the front seat and the stroller felt sturdy and not at all like tipping back.Out of the box this beats any of the Peg Perego or Graco strollers we've owned in the past.I'll update this review after I've used it with the new baby on the front and put some miles on this wonderful stroller!

12/20/2008After using this stroller for over a year and a half I still love it.My now just turned five year old loves to sit or stand on the back and I almost never have to fight to get him to stay on it.Practically, my older child has to sit a little hunched forward when the baby's sleeping and it's reclined all of the way back, but he can stand with no problem.Also, it's a little hard to get my diaper bag in the attached storage area, but that's just me being picky.The parent storage is wonderful and I'm so glad I have the zippered area for keys and can put my phone and drink and other stuff safely tucked away.Airline boarding passes fit perfectly!1 1/2 years later it still pushes effortlessly and is perfect rounding clothes racks a the mall and navigating at restaurants. I love my stroller and still recommend it to people that ask about it.

Product Description:
Getting around with your young family can be a challenge, but with the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller, travel is made much easier. Designed for use with an older toddler and an infant, this tandem stroller is a compact, lightweight, easy-to-use alternative to bulkier, heavier double strollers. It features a front-facing baby seat, which can also accommodate many infant car seats, and a standing platform and seat for toddlers over the age of 2-1/2 years. Both seat can accommodate children up to 45 pounds in weight, up to 40 inches tall.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller offers:
  • Compact, lightweight profile for easy maneuvering.
  • Standing platform and seat for older children.
  • Front seat that is compatible with many infant car seats.

Adjustable padded rear seat allows a standing child to take a rest. (Shown here in sage.)

Universal Car Seat Adapter fits most major brands (shown in sage). View larger. Streamlined Efficiency and Convenience
Double strollers can be bulky and difficult to maneuver, with side x side seats creating an extra-wide profile, or other tandems being too deep to maneuver easily. The Joovy Caboose ultra-light, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Weighing in at just 21 pounds and sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD). Sealed ball-bearing wheels contribute to a smoother ride as well, and a foam-padded handle offers additional comfort.
A roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials, and the nifty neoprene "Cool Essentials Parent Organizer," which includes a cup holder, keeps keys, your cell phone, and a drink close at hand.
A Fun, Comfortable Ride
The stroller is compatible with many infant car seats (see list below), offering easy "snap and go" convenience for traveling with a young infant. Once your baby is old enough to sit up independently, she can sit facing forward, secured safely with a five-point harness. Snacks and a drink are close at hand thanks to the removable child tray, and a wide sun shade keeps her safe from the elements.
Whether you're browsing at the mall or trekking through the zoo, your older child will love the versatility that the Joovy Caboose ultra-light provides. When she gets tired of walking, she can simply hop onto the standing platform. Comfortably padded handles are available for her to hold. Or she can take a rest on the adjustable, padded seat, which is also equipped with a three-point harness.
Compatible Car Seats
The Joovy Caboose ultra-light Tandem Stroller can be used with the following infant car seat models: The Graco Snug Ride Series and Safe Seat; the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace; the Compass Light & Portable Infant Car Seat; the Britax Companion; the Safety 1st Designer 22; the Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat (models 22-625 and 22-626); the Baby Trend Latch-Loc & Flex-Loc; the Chicco Key Fit Car Seat; the Combi Centre Series and Combi Connection; and the Maxi-Cosi Mico.

Review of Fisher-Price Newborn Twin Play Set - Caucasian

My daughter got this for her second birthday about a year ago, and loves it.It took me a while to put it together, as there are three toys that come with the dolls, but well worth the effort!

Dolls: comes with two, one pink, one blue.This is great because we can both play with them together.Hats come off pretty easily, so they mainly stay off.

Diaper bag: cute accessory; however, my kid's not into it.

Play yard: she has fun putting them to bed there, but doesn't really move it from the corner of the room.It has a small pocket on the outside that we keep the hats in, and a couple flowers that dangle from the arch like a mobile. Very cute!

Swing / High chair: this piece converts from a swing to a high chair with a parent's or older sibling's help, so I just keep it as a swing. My daughter sometimes gets frustrated with it, as you have to position the twins just so to make the swing move (they both need to be in it, with their arms on their laps, or it won't swing).

Stroller: by far her favorite item to use with the twins.The bed part can face either forward or backward, and rotates up and down (so the babies can sit up or lay down).The only problem I have with it is the mechanism that keeps the seat at your chosen angle - it's too loose so it doesn't always stay in place.My daughter doesn't seem to notice - she uses it all the time.Oh, and because the bed part comes off, expect to be putting it back on a lot - my daughter likes to make a game of "breaking" the stroller!:o)

Review of Skip Hop Saddle Bag

I LOVE this bag so much, I have two: the Uptown Stripe and the Pink Camo bags. Both prints are great looking and very durable - I've dished out tons of abuse! They are really easy to clean too. Just wipe with a damp cloth or use a Tide pen for any stubborn stains.

This has been my bag of choice since Serenity has been 14 months old when I realized I DIDN'T need a large diaper bag for a day of shopping and visiting. ONLY when I'm gone ALL DAY - from early morning to late evening, do I pack my larger Skip Hop Duo bag. Besides, I LOVE how this bag attaches to the shopping buggy and my stroller. Makes everything right there within reach! And you wouldn't believe how much this small bag can hold. It just takes a little re-arranging and buying smaller items.

In the pocket on the front flap I have:

A Tide pen, Kids Afterbite, Neosporin Neo To Go Spray, Water Babies sunblock 30 SPF stick, Splenda minis, Burt's Bees lip balm, two Off! towelettes, three Neat Solutions disposable table toppers, four Crystal Light On The Go packs, & two Kool-Aid singles.

Attached to the Velcro straps in the back I have a rolled chalk mat I made so Serenity can doodle while she's in the shopping buggy or her stroller. A chalk mat is very easy to sew, or you can buy one here at Amazon or at Ebay.

In the mesh pocket on the side I put a sippy (or straw) cup, of course!

In one of the interior pockets I have:

A Germ-X Handi-Pen, three size 4 Huggies diapers, a quart sized zip lock bag of baby wipes, a sample size bottle of baby powder, and a few coupons.

In the second interior pocket I have:

A sample size bottle of Johnson's Melt Away Stress lotion, small pack of Kleenex, a full Crayola snack packer (cookies, Goldfish, etc.), a Crayola Color Wonder mini tablet and two color wonder markers (or sometimes the soft sticks), a small bottle of Advil, a Kipiis bib clip, a pacifier, sunglasses, cell phone, keys and my wallet.

Serenity likes to carry a purse now, so any other little toys she might want to play with I put in there.

After all that, I STILL have little room in my bag; just in case I need to add a few more small items!

Review of Dreambaby Swing Close Gate with Extensions - Black

After wasting money on 3 other gates and hours of research...we are safe! We purchased the package of 2, one for the livingroom and one for our Houdini toddlers' room. We love not only the height which will work for us for years to come, but there is also NO cross section/bars for her to use as toe-leverage and completely impossible for her to open it on her own. She is also a sleep-walker. We are so relieved!! Perfect buy!!

Review of Wide Stairway Swing Gate by North States Industries

Though this gate was wide enough to accommodate our 4' wide stairway, it was so flimsy that my husband had to reinforce it at the bottom with a piece of 1x2 the length of the gate. If either of my 18 mo. old twins were to fall against it they would have went right through it!

Review of Swingomatic 6 Speed Swing - Windsor

With our first baby we had a travel swing. It worked fine but it didnt swing as fast as we would like since it had such a small motor and we had to bend down a lot to pick her up so close to the ground, which was harder the bigger she got.

Now with our second we decided we would go for a full size swing, and decided on the Windsor. Its a beautiful pattern in sage green with toile. But as I looked at the toile pattern I realized it was boys at the fishing hole, so while it might look girly because of the toile dont shy away from it for a boy.

My husband and I put it together in about 40 minutes.....pretty standard for a piece of baby equipment. We did struggle a bit with the fabric fitting but it did fit....snuggly. And really you want things on baby products to fit snuggly.

Ive had no problems with the mobile as other posters have said. I also know that unless you are missing parts when you put together baby items 99% of the problems are user problems. Trust me, Ive had my share of "why wont this work?!" and then realized "Ooooh, it's silly me!".

Beautiful swing, great movement for all ages of babies and a true necessity from the first day home. You will be able to use this swing for several babies. Dont hesitate, you and your baby will love it!

Review of UPPAbaby G-Luxe Stroller

When looking for an umbrella stroller that I could use on public transportation here in the city and for running quick errands, it came down to the G-Luxe or the Maclarens (Triumph and Quest). I test drove them all in the store and went with the G-Luxe, because: 1) it stands on its own when folded, which is really handy when waiting for a train or bus, plus it takes up less storage space in the apartment that way; 2) it's better designed for taller people (both in terms of handle height and feet not kicking the back when you walk); 3) it has a cup holder; 4) the recline adjusts to any position (Maclaren has a few fixed positions, and the Triumph doesn't recline as far); 5) sun coverage seemed a little better; 6) it's cheaper. All the strollers were about equal in terms of having great maneuverability, and all have small but relatively functional storage baskets. The fold and unfold process is basically the same, too, all three strollers. The only thing I liked better about the Maclarens were the color options. (I ended up with the black G-luxe, and it's very sleek and classy, but I did love those muted Maclaren browns, blues, and greens.)I also liked the peek-a-boo window on the Quest, but it's not worth an extrapound and a half of weight.

Final verdict: the Uppababy G-Luxe is a great stroller. It's as light as you can get for a full-featured umbrella, opens and folds easily, turns on a dime, and has great features that many umbrella strollers don't, like a reclining seat, storage basket, a cup holder, and the ability to stand when folded--which is hugely convenient. My baby (3 mos.) is happy and comfortable in it.

I got the swing for my shower from Target and wished I would have trusted the negative reviews. The people who had problems w/ it , all said the motor went out and when they exchanged it, the motor went out on the next one too. I wouldnt buy this for any one...dont be fooled w/ the appearance!

Review of Graco Lovin' Hug Swing- Theresa

Pro's: large selection of music; nice multi-incline of seat; lots of swing speeds with timer feature

Con's: Tray extremely difficult to open; nature sounds are terrible (you can't even tell they're naturistic);
mobile is pretty useless (too high and too small);
shoulder harness/strap TOO SHORT - my daughter is 7 mos
old and ~18 lbs and the shoulder strap is already too short. I contacted
Graco and they sent me a replacement seat with the exact same shoulder
straps (i.e TOO short). If your baby is over 17 lbs and 26" long, then
he/she will barely be able to be strapped in using the shoulder straps.
Currently trying to get them to send me LONGER shoulder straps.

Review of Fisher Price Cradle N Swing

THis swing has really been a life-saver for us. I started putting my son in this swing when he was 2 months old. At that time, the motion would calm him down most times. At 3 months, he started noticing the lighted mobile and the revolving fish on the mobile. The music goes off after the swing has run for some time. A really useful feature, since the baby is asleep by then.
This product requires 4 D type batteries. The batteries would last me an average of a month at a time. I was pretty happy about that. I would buy the duracell brand of batteries, since they last the longest on this swing.

Disadvantages:
(1) Requires a lot of floor space.
(2) The legs, if not placed right, cause the whole piece to swing from side-to-side along with the motion of the swing. It requires some trial and error to figure out the right position for the legs.

All in all, a very good product. I would highly recommend this product.

Review of Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber and Swing Extension

Most of what I would say has been covered already - I rate it 5 out of 5 stars for comparable toys. Very sturdy construction and looks good in earth tones rather than kiddie colors.

It's a good size up to about age 8 or 9.

One warning: lots of nooks and crannies for wasps to hide in. This would be an issue for any play structure though.

The one trick is getting the slide in when assembling. I have had to put it together a few times (relocating it from basement to backyard, back to basement)

The trick is to NOT have the three burgundy pieces in - you only have the two sides and the deck - you then can squeeze the bottoms of the two big pieces together. If you push so that the two side pieces are parallel, the slide pretty much drops into place. When you release the bottoms, the tops close together and trap the slide.

Another way is to tilt the tower away from the slide - this allows the slide to slip in - you need to tilt it at least 30 degrees from vertical.

If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

This booster was given to me by my mother-in-law for my 13-month old son.I don't care for this one at all.The straps (to hold the seat onto the chair) loosen and they don't stay put.I turned my head to finish preparing his breakfast and he was (still intact in the seat but...) dangling off the front of the chair.The headrest doesn't even stay on seat-it continuously fell off (for the short time we used the seat).I would not recommend this one.

Review of Graco Lovin Hug Swing - Safari Sun

If you need a swing, this is a good one. The classical music selection is nice, and the 6 speeds are good. We used 1-2 for our newborn, then upped it to 4-5 as he got older. The recline is also very nice and easy to use.

It doesn't pack away very well; it does collapse, but still takes up a lot of room when collapsed. Also, it does seem to go through batteries (3 Cs) somewhat quickly.

For a lot of babies, a swing is a must-have, and if you think that is your baby, then this one is great. It comes in lots of different color patterns. My baby just was not all that into the swing, except for a2-3 week phase where it was the only place he would fall asleep besides on our shoulders. I guess for those 2-3 weeks, it was well worth it :)

Review of Fisher-Price Playful Pets Swing

We bought this swing for our second child. My first child, a 4 year old, helped me put it together (with lots of supervision); and it was not hard to put together at all. The instructions were clear, and even the 4 year old figured out how to use it (not actually swing in it, but flip the switches, etc...) The baby loves it, and we are glad to have found it. It was a great deal here, free shipping and a price lower than a major comeptitor's website.

Review of Sassy Zanzibar Portable Travel Swing

First of all, the swing only holds up to 20 lbs which it doesn't say in the product description.It was easy to assemble and I loved how it looked.However, the seat did not stay reclined (barely reclined at all for that matter) and speeds weren't that impressive.My daughter shifted in the seat and it folded up in half and she was hanging halfway out of the swing (she was strapped in).I'm glad I was right there since her arm could have been caught between the seat and the support legs as it was swinging.I definately don't feel comfortable putting her in it again.Perhaps it was defective but it didn't feel that way. I don't normally return items and I very rarely write reviews, so I hope this helps someone.

I received this swing mid July as a gift and today it just died on me. While it was working it was wonderful, my son loved it! Gradually over time the swing motor was having a harder and harder time going and today it just quit swinging. Everything else on it still works. My son doesn't weigh more than 13 lbs! I liked this swing because you can plug it in, the mobile is nice and I like that you can turn the swing in three different directions. I don't like how it lasted less than 3 months and, in my case, I am unable to return it for a new one.

Review of Swing Seat Ikarus

This is a great swing! It's perfect for using inside the house. My sons use it everyday. We bought it for my youngest son who uses swinging as a therapy for his sensory issues, but my older two sons like to swing on it too. I've even used it a few times. This is a very high quality swing and has easily withstood the abuse that 3 boys can dish out. The seat is much more comfortable than a regular plastic outside belt swing. It is also weighted a bit and seems more comfortable. And not to mention the wings are just too cool! My son pretends that he is a bat while he is swinging. I would buy it again and again.

i think every parent should have a swing in the house.I swing with our baby on my lap in this swing every day.My 5-year-old loves it as well.Although it holds up to 200lbs. it took a good six months before we broke in the seat so it was more comfortable for an adult to sit in.the bucket part of the seat is short enough to be very comfortable for a child but a bit too short for the legs of an adult.most people buy this for their children, but I really intended on using it myself and it has been wonderful!We bought a larger screw attachment for our ceiling at lowes for about $1.50 just for that added security.

Review of Summer Infant Cuddle Me Musical Swing

I purchased this swing with my husband and mother-in-law. We were taken by how cute it was in the store, and cute it is! The elephants are cute. The womb sounds are cute. The swing is blessedly quiet. It has everything going for it, and then you try to put a baby in it. The 'pod' portion of this swing is completely ill-designed! If the swing is tipped downward, the baby looks like he will fall out, except for the harness! If it is tipped upward, so that the baby can look directly up at the elephants, the poor child's head is uncomfortably pushed cockeyed. It is a shame, because everything else about this swing works. My handy husband even thought he would try to fix the seat portion by rigging up something else. Alas, I'm thinking we need to buy an entirely new swing. I just don't want to tell my mother in law because she thinks it so cute.

The loud motor sound that people are talking about could be attributed to the fact that the motor is supposed to simulate womb sounds, very relaxing and engaging for my child's attention. This swing also seems to hold quite a bit of weight..... my friend's 5 year old child sat down in it when I wasnt looking and was able to hold him. When you use this swing, be sure to spread out the legs completely, otherwise the motor will stall and not rock correctly (sometimes creating a stand-still). Some added toys would be nice, otherwise, we love it!
