So Big! Board book (Sesame Beginnings) Review

col — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:18:28 +0000

We love the Sesame Beginnings Books. So Big! is an adorable board book that your child will absolutely enjoy. Little ones are so attracted to Elmo’s cute little voice, silliness and bright red color. Your child will enjoy the simple images of Elmo and of course the end where Elmo pops out of the book! You and your child will enjoy the fun of playing “So Big” together and with Elmo!

JJ Cole Original Bundle Me Review

col — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:25:07 +0000

This is one of my favorites. The Bundle Me eliminates the need for coats and blankets. You have probably noticed how difficult it is to put a coat on your baby and then put him in the car seat. It is too tight. Then if you put blankets on him, he will often kick them off or they will fall off. The Bundle Me is so warm and cozy. All you need to do is put your baby in his car seat and zip up the Bundle Me. It is especially wonderful for those cold winter months! By the way the Bundle Me is also available in other colors.

Bright Ideas Bumbo Play Tray Review

col — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:25:58 +0000

This is the tray that you can easily place on the Bumbo Baby Sitter. Just put your baby in the Bumbo seat, put the tray on and give your child some toys to play with. Don’t forget, you should not leave your child unattended in this seat. It is a great way to play one on one with your child without focusing so much on his sitting up. Enjoy!

Bumbo Baby Sitter Review

col — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:12:21 +0000

We love the Bumbo! This was great when I was working in the early intervention field because I could sit in front of a child while he was sitting in the Bumbo seat. I would plop him in the seat, snap the Bright Ideas Bumbo play tray on and have a great session one on one without having to spend so much time worrying about him sitting up.

Your child can use this seat once he can keep his head up independently. (around 3 months) He can use the seat until about 18 months. (It really depends on the size of your child) It is a great little, light weight, foam seat that your baby will fit into snuggly without straps. (very easy to travel with) You should not leave your child in it and leave the room! He may learn to lean back quickly or forward and hurt himself. It is also meant to be used on the floor.

My daughter gained a lot of self confidence in this chair. It is true! She will sit in it, look around and smile as if she feels like she is a big girl. She often sits in the seat and plays with some toys that are on her tray. It is a great opportunity to play with her one on one because I can look directly at her and she at me without focusing on her sitting up. She was sitting in the Bumbo for her first spoonful of cereal also! Great buy!

Baby Einstein Discover and Play Activity Center Review

col — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 20:52:20 +0000

The activity center is great once your child has good head control. I have read that it is used for babies 6 – 12 months. However, I have to say my daughter was using it by 4 months and enjoying it! Once she could reach the base and had head control, she began playing in this activity center. The vibrant primary colors will surely grasp your child’s attention. The textures will stimulate his senses. He will want to probably chew on the bright yellow sun and the orange star, but that is great for oral stimulation. It is so important that your baby discovers various textures. Your child can work on gross and fine motor control while sitting/standing with support, reaching, grabbing, and banging the many different pieces. He can work on learning the concept of cause and effect by hitting the buttons to hear the animal names (in English and Spanish), animal sounds and music. By the way, the seat is machine washable, swivels 360 degrees and has a 3 position height adjustment. A physical therapist once told me that a child should use it for only 15 minutes/day.
