Earth's Best Chlorine Free #Baby Wipes {Review} #Sponsored

Thank you Earth's Best for providing me with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program! 

Baby Wipes are one of the essentials when having child and if you are a parent, we all know that not all baby wipes are created equal! I recently posted about our experience with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers and this month, we also had the opportunity to try Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program!           

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes are unscented and moistened with a gentle, natural lotion containing aloe vera and vitamin E. The hypoallergenic wipes have a super soft cloth like texture which is gentle enough for baby's delicate skin, hands and face. I received pop-up tubs which come in a 72-count but the wipes are also available in a pop-up tub refill, travel pack or TOTS Flushable Wipes.

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers {Review} #Sponsored

Thank you Earth's Best for providing me with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program! 

When you have and infant or toddler, diapers are a necessity (unless you use elimination communication). As and Earth's Best Preferred Blogger, I was recently provided with Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Diapers in a size 5. We had tried Earth's Best diapers in the past and had a great experience with them but we were mainly using cloth diapers at the time. This time around we are using disposable diapers most of the time because it's more convenient for our family.

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Disposable Diapers are available in newborn to size 6 sizes and are made from non-chlorine bleached materials and contain natural absorbant material such as corn and wheat. Earth's Best Diapers are made with fewer petro-chemicals. The diapers feature breathable sides, a moisture barrier cuff, refastenable tabs and are free of Latex, dye, and perfumes! The size 5 diapers come in a 26 count package and are for babies up to 27+ lbs.

Check out the Bob Revolution SE Duallie! #BabyExtravaganza

Kim of Party of 5 recently received the Bob Revolution SE Duallie for the Baby Extravaganza Event which is being co-hosted by Momma T and Family, Rambles of a SAHM, My Four Littles and Party of 5! You can read about the stroller below!

As soon as I knew I was pregnant one of the first things that came to mind was, " oh no, I need a double jogger "! I know, that seems a tad crazy but it's true. I love our BOB Revolution SE and have gotten may awesome runs out of it. Olivia is the one who really likes to come with me for a run.

I figure since the new babe will be arriving either August or September having a double jogger is a great investment. It is recommended that you DO NOT jog/run with any child under 6 months of age. This gives me some time to adjust after surgery and have baby ready for the jogs.

My Experience at The Big Toy Book Baby Palooza #BTBBabyPalooza

Huge thanks to The Big Toy Book Baby Palooza who provided me with a Swag Bag containing some products mentioned below!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend The Big Toy Book's Baby Palooza at the Delta Children headquarters in New York City which was hosted by Joey Fortman, Charlene DeLoach, Laurie Schacht and Reyne Rice. There, attendees learned the 2013 is the year to be safety smart, Parent smart, technology smart and baby smart!

As a parent, safety is my first priority when considering a product for my child so I appreciate what these companies are doing and how they are utilizing technology in their products. 

The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat
As soon as we got the Delta headquarters, I pretty much gravitated towards the The First Years True Fit iAlert Convertible Car Seat. This revolutionary new car seat monitoring system is designed to alert parents of potentially life-threatening situations via their smartphone if their child: 

• Rides in a rear facing position not installed at the desired angle
• Becomes unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion
• Is left in the car seat when the vehicle is not in motion
• Is at risk due to elevated or freezing ambient temperature in the car seat

Pretty amazing, am I right? Can you imagine how many infants and toddlers would be saved if they were accidently left in the car?

The car seat can be used from 5 to 35 lbs rear-facing and from 23 to 65 lbs forward-facing. Other features include a removable head rest designed to help manage head control. One of my favorite features besides for the monitoring system is the no-rethread harness that is incredibly easy to adjust! You can learn more about the The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat on The First Years website. 

The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat is available on Amazon and MSRP is $399.99.

Baby K'tan {Review & #Giveaway} #BabyExtravaganza

Thank you Baby K'tan for providing me with a carrier for review!

I've talked about babywearing on the blog before and currently own or have owned a few different carriers which include soft structured carriers, slings, mei tais and soft stretchy wraps. When E was an infant, I loved using soft stretchy wraps! The first carrier I ever owned was a popular stretchy wrap but unfortunately, I had to stop using stretchy wraps because she outgrew them and when I would wear her, the wrap would sag. 

A few months back I heard about the Baby K'tan Carrier, a soft cotton baby carrier that is a blend of a sling, wrap and carrier. The K'tan provides the positions and benefits of all three types of carriers and can be worn comfortably with infants and toddlers (from birth to 3 years) in multiple positions.

BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light 2 {#Giveaway} #BabyExtravaganza

Kim of Party of 5 recently received the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light 2 for the Baby Extravaganza Event which is being co-hosted by Momma T and Family, Rambles of a SAHM, My Four Littles and Party of 5! You can read about the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light 2 below!

Do you travel a lot? We do mostly in the Spring/Summer. We have a place in the Poconos and love spending family time there. All of my Husbands's family own property as well as my parents so it's one big giant family affair. We don't have our own place there just yet so it's a tad tight for sleeping quarters.

My kids all share the bedroom with the 2 sets of bunk beds. Well, honestly my son usually stays at my parents or his cousins place so it's just the girls. When they were little we had a ginourmous pack n play that was a pain to set up, especially if the girls fell asleep.

With the new babe we knew we needed a much simpler solution. Low and behold, I came across the BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light 2.

JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me & Caprice Diaper Bag {Review & #Giveaway} #BabyExtravaganza

The following JJ Cole review was written by Kim of Party of 5 for the Baby Extravaganza Event which is being co-hosted by Momma T and Family, Rambles of a SAHM, My Four Littles and Party of 5! You can check out her review below!

I am a busy Mom of 3 kids, soon to be 4! We are often on the go, weather it be Baseball practice, games, dance class or finding cool places to take the kids. During the cooler months it's hard to keep a new baby bundled up the correct way without doing the MAJOR No-No's. It is NOT safe to have baby in a coat in either the infant seat or a car seat. To solve that problem we use the JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me!

Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight {Review} #BabyExtravaganza

Before I had E, I never thought that I would have any use for a double stroller. I mean, I wasn't a mother of two and wasn't giving birth to twins so a single stroller would suit us, right? Well, On the the day E was born, eleven hours later my nephew Ryan entered the world as well. Yes, That's right, they were born on the same day!

I'll sometimes babysit Ryan and my family frequently attends events, parties, and has outings together so I quickly came to realize how convenient it would be to own a double stroller for both E and Ryan and something I could use withe my nephew Angel as well.
