Oh Na Na, What's My Stroller?

I've been getting a lot of questions on what type of strollers I use. At first, I was using the Graco Snap & Go Stroller, where you just snap in the car seat. That was really easy and convenient! Now I'm mainly in between 2 strollers. I'll first be reviewing my light weight stroller, then review my full size stroller, the Bugaboo Frog, in a separate post.

Currently, the light weight stroller that I use is The First Years Jet Stroller, in Happy Hippos Brown!

I actually really like this stroller! It weighs only 11 Pounds! That's something that was important for me because I live on the third floor where I have to take the stairs! This stroller definitely made it easier for me to carry it in one hand, and my daughter in the other hand. I basically use this stroller to run errands near by, or go for walks around the block. You can say it has a one handed fold, so it's easy to close if your carrying child or groceries. It has a five-point harness which makes it a safer ride of course! I love that it came with a parent console which can store some snacks and even hold drinks.The storage basket is a small/medium size, it holds a good amount of items, but nothing too large. The recline on the stroller is OK. It doesn't recline all the way flat, so you can't use this with a newborn. It reclines just slightly, which is good enough for naps, because your little one won't be slouched over! The canopy doesn't keep the sun out of the way all the time since it's small, but that wasn't a big issue for me. It steers very good, I've had this stroller for almost two years, and haven't had a problem with it. This was the stroller that we even took to Disney World, and it was great all over the parks! I paid $40 for the stroller at Babies 'R' Us. It's definitely a purchase that I'm glad I made because I got a lot of use out of it!

Bumbo Recall!!

Did you hear about the Bumbo recall?? The baby seat has been recalled because infants can maneuver their way out and fall. They now require you to get the free restraint seat belt to prevent any injuries. I can't say that  I'm surprised. I was never really to sure about these Bumbo's. They never looked that safe to me, and seemed obvious an infant can easily get hurt if not watched properly. That's why from the beginning I went for the Summer Infant 3 Stage Infant Seat.

I think it's a better alternative to the Bumbo. It already comes with a seat belt built in, and tray that's removable! I love the toys that it comes with because it keeps your little one busy. The best part, is that you can use it down the line as a booster seat! It doesn't get any better that that!

I'm all about Deals!

I don't feel all that great when I spend a lot of money to buy a lot of things, such as clothing. I do feel amazing though, when I get what I buy on sale, or at a great price! I'm always on the look out for the best deals when it comes to babies and kids items. I especially love shopping for them online. Of course it's always good to check the sale section of your favorite department stores website. There are other alternatives as well. I love checking out online boutique sites that offer products at a discount price. Items range from clothing, toys, to even strollers! You can really get amazing deals! My two favorite online boutique sites are: ZULILY and TOTSY. I've bought tons of great quality items from both of these sites. However, I think the shipping time is faster with ZULILY than TOTSY, but if your not in a rush, then either or should be just fine! Be sure to check out the boutiques and sign up! They'll send you daily e-mails about what's on sale and what's coming up!

In need of a new Diaper Bag!!

I have a problem when it comes to hand bags..I want them all! It's an obsession! The bag that I'm having the most trouble picking out is a diaper bag! My problem is I want a nice designer bag, like this..

I'm obsessed with this Gucci Diaper Bag! Only problem is, it's $990!! I guess that's the price you pay for being in style? It's a bag that I've always wanted, but never could get myself to buy! Another thing about that I kind of love/hate, is that it basically screams Gucci all over, which might be a good thing or a bad thing?

Another type of diaper bag I have in mind is one that can look plain & simple, with nice leather at least. I feel like a diaper bag should be something that looks pretty to look at, so you can be proud to carry around. Not one with funky prints or colors. To each their own I suppose, but If I had to chose a plain, less expensive bag, it would probably look like this...

It's a Rebecca Minkoff diaper bag! It's super chic for any mom out there who's into these types of bags! It retails for $395. Still expensive, but not as steep as the Gucci Bag! Either one would make me a happy camper, since their both oh so stylish!! What kind of diaper bag are you into?

A Princess Bed Made for a....Princess!!

I told my little princess, (yes I really do call her princess), that I'd buy her a Disney Princess Bed! Now that shes a big girl, almost 2.5 years old, I thought it was about time! This cute little bed is truly made for a princess. I love the canopy part of it! Now if only I can get my little princess to stay asleep in this bed! I thought that she would love going to sleep in this bed and not get up at night. Well, I was wrong. We're still struggling to get her to stay asleep in it, without waking up on and off getting out of it. I guess it's a process, but I figured I'd get a bed that has something she loves (Disney Princess), and maybe that would make her feel more comfortable. Any tips or suggestions for getting her to fall asleep/stay asleep on her own? Come on princess bed, work your magic!

Oh and by the way, this bed is currently on sale at babiesrus.com for $59.98! It's regularly $79.99! Hurry hurry!
