Chicco Ct0.6 Capri Lightweight Stroller Review

Chicco Ct0.6 Capri Lightweight Stroller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a very compact stroller, this one is pretty good. I looked at many umbrella strollers and most did not have 5 point harnesses or aren't comfy for someone over about 5'2". Now I'm a hair under 5'8", but I wouldn't recommend this for anyone taller. My husband at 6' had to hunch over to push it. Another issue is that the wheels are pretty close together and the handles don't tilt back far enough to provide a lot of separation between your feet and the wheels. You do have to walk heel-toe if you are going to walk behind the stroller and that not only takes a little getting used to, but can be tiring because you don't use your normal walking muscles.

It has a very small basket underneath that can store some smile items, but because of the cross back support, you can't put a bag of any size under there, but it's good for small purchases. Also, while it does recline, it's not much, but more than you would see on other umbrella strollers.

Another plus is that it is significantly wider than the Jeep umbrella stroller and the other low price ones. My 3 month old looked cramped in that one and I cannot imagine her being able to use it for long. This stroller should last us for travel purposes (especially on the subway) for a couple of years.

I also like that the sunshade can be snapped to the back of the stroller or you can unsnap it and change the angle depending on where the sun is.

I recommend you take a test push of this before purchasing. They have them instock in limited colors at Babies R Us, but that's good advice for any stroller purchase.

LeapFrog: Word Whammer Fridge Phonics Review

LeapFrog: Word Whammer Fridge Phonics
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY:

When my little girls started walking around, I purchased the Leapfrog alphabet for my fridge that she could learn her letters.As our little girl got older she started being able to tell between lower case and uppper case letters so we got her a lower case set.

A short couple of years later my little girl was spelling small three letter words so we picked up a three letter word speller from Leapfrog at a local large discount store.To our shock the letters from our original leapfrog set did not fit into the new set....not very smart on the part of leapfrog unless they want me to pay two or three times for letters.

So we did some digging on Amazon and found this set which uses the standard size letters from leapfrog so we don't have to go buy a whole other set of letters.

So I guess what I'm saying is CAUTION, leapfrog sells several sets of alphabets and spellers and sometimes the letters are not interchangeable.

REGARDING THIS PLAYER

It does what its intended to do.It has a couple of modes one for spelling and one for word games where it prompts the child to enter letters to form a word.Overall, my kid doesn't sit for hours in front of the fridge playing this game but every once in a while she'll stop there and play for a while.

If you have an old set, make sure you get the compatible player so you can reuse your words.

Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review

Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being patient and methodical, my wife and I shopped far and wide for the optimal double stroller, and tested many. This Citi Mini stroller was the clear choice. We then used it at the best test site going, ten full days at Walt Disney World parks. Here are the pluses; The stroller folds remarkably easily, pull one openly available strap in the seats, and bingo, done, folded nearly flat. Further, you can very easily release and remove the wheels, and then the stroller folds virtually totally flat. This stroller is not heavy like most doubles, yet it is built quite solid. It pushes and turns at a feathers touch. From a standing point, you can make a 180 degree turn smoothely, with no resistance. The wheels are big enough for a smoothe ride, but not so big that they get in the way, especially when folding the stroller. The seats recline very simply, and the versatile hood provides as much sun block as desired. It also can create a very secure protected space for kids to lounge in. And the seats are set, that it is difficult for the kids to truly bother each other. Get the safety bar accessory, kids love it, and it reduces the need to buckle them in every time you put them in the stroller. There's also a three cup holder accessory that's useful. There is only ONE flaw with this stroller, the storage under the seat is difficult to access. It was too small in the older units, but they recently fixed that. Yet, it may be bigger, and is a reasonable amount of space, but the structure of the stroller leaves only narrow openings to get stuff into the storage area. So, you cant store large bags down there, you have to use small bags, and or store stuff loose. We found one resolve, is to hang stuff off the handle bar with a huge "mommy clip", even though the manufacturer says not to do this. So there you have it. All said and done, this stroller is THE number one best you can find. Expensive, but worth it.

Sunshine Kids Travel Pal Review

Sunshine Kids Travel Pal
Average Reviews:

I purchased this when I had a ford escape suv with a bench seat in the back.It was meant to go in between two car seats and it worked great but then we got a minivan so now it goes on the floor between the two seats. It works great to keep all the toys, wipes, papers, snacks, kid sunglasses or anything else you need to keep organized in place.My son is always bringing a toy on errands and then they used to end up scattered all over the floor.Now, it's easy to just pop it into this organizer so he can find it next time he is bored and looking for a toy. I also keep wipes in it, so they are easy to find in an emergency.Great buy so your car doesn't seem like it's a big toy box or junk area.

Radio Flyer Classic Red Dual Deck Tricycle Review

Radio Flyer Classic Red Dual Deck Tricycle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this tricycle for our almost 4 year old son, who is constantly falling over with a bicycle with training wheels. He is fairly tall and still uses the seat in the lower position. The Shanghai name propably does not mean anything since it is really just the same as the ordinary classic red bike. Some reviews of the classic bike mention instability and falling over. We have not noticed this at all. Of course our boy does his best to be as wild as possible with the thing and so he can tip over, but so far he has been able to stop himself from falling with his feet. A difference with the really old versions of this bike (my father still has one) is that the handle bars do not turn all the way left and right (there is a limit build in) and with that make the bike much more stable.

Kettler Deluxe Stroller Pushbar Review

Kettler Deluxe Stroller Pushbar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got this as an addition for out trike that we got for our daughter's 1st birthday.I HAD to have it!Well, when we used this trike around the neighborhood for strolls, it was good enough-not as adjustable as I might have wished...but good enough.We later started using our trike EVERYWHERE(mall, zoo, Disney, beach,etc) and the pushbar has been in the shed ever since (2+years.) It's just too big, bulky and heavy to fit in a vehicle and a hassle to assemble/disassemble with any regularity.I'd recommend it only for someone who does not plan to use this on outings, just neighborhood strolls.The sunshade does not offer enough protection to negate sunscreen use or protective clothing, but it can nicely offer a bit of shade for temp. comfort and eyes.
As I said, we LOVE our trike and found the (seperately-purchased $20)footrests extremely valuable when using our trike as our almost everyday stroller-our daughter absolutely loves it at 3ish, and it's all still ready to be "recycled" by her future baby brother.Not to mention the fact that we bought ours third-hand to begin with!!! It shows minimal wear-and-tear and works perfectly with zero maintenance!!!

If you're on any kind of budget, I'd say skip this pushbar and buy cute hats and sunscreen.

This bedding was a perfect transition from our sons crib bedding.We did not find out the sex of the baby beforehand and had gone with a neutral colored room of mostly green and some tan.It was so nice to find this bedding because it has more of the tans and browns in it which makes it look more like a boys room now instead of gender neutral.Our son LOVES having animals on his bed, too.
