Tiny Love Jungle Park Activity Gym
My baby boy loves this gym. He loves the toys, especially the light up feature that moves, making it look like the animals are playing catch. The mat is thick and bright and the animals are adorable!

I just switched my son, 6 months old, to this car seat after he started to get a bit snug in our Infant Graco Snugride. I love this seat. From the first use, my son loves this seat. He feels like a "big boy" and has tons of room. The arm rests are perfect for attaching his car seat toys to. It's a feature that is hard to find in many seats. It is very sturdy, and easy to install. The height adjusts very easily, and the cushion is very plush, and the material is easy to clean. It also comes with attachable cup holders, which I'm sure will come in handy later. I still have it rear facing, so it does take up a bit of room, but no more than the Infant seat did. I think this is an excellent seat, and would recommend this seat to anyone! -
Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing
Works well until weight of child starts to kick in....so only good for 2 months or so. But good quality and music is great.

Baby Einstein Around The World Play Gym
1. Set Up- Very easy if you are someone who reads directions. I tried to do it myself and ended up with a toy that folded in on itself. Read the directions and you'll save time. 2. Mat- Very plush. Could be slightly larger, but still a great size... +
1. Set Up- Very easy if you are someone who reads directions. I tried to do it myself and ended up with a toy that folded in on itself. Read the directions and you'll save time.
2. Mat- Very plush. Could be slightly larger, but still a great size overall. The pictures on the mat are great- real life photos are mixed with the corresponding cartoon animal.
3. Music Toy- Wonderful songs- I believe there are 7 in all. Two different levels of sound and two options for music- continuous play or motion detected. However, the continuous play goes for maybe 5 minutes and then you have to get up and flip the switch 'off' and then 'on' to make it go through the songs again. Sort of annoying when you are trying to go to the bathroom or take a shower and you have to run out to turn the music on again. The blinking lights in the middle that correspond with the music it's playing, teach rhythm and keep my son's attention- until it turns off, that is.
4. Toys- There are an abundance of toys that go with this mat. Unlike any of the other mats on the market, you can move the toys around (there are about 15 different hooks on the mat that you can move the toys to.) The panda has gotten the most play time so far- it is the longest and therefore the closest to my son's hands when he reaches up. It's very cute and has some rattles inside. The two chips with animals on one side and the world map on the other make an intriguing noise when banged together and are thin enough for an easy hold. The hanging world rattle is great when baby is a bit older. It scares my son as of now because it is slightly louder than any rattle he's played with before. It is super cute and has a good hand-hold for when he becomes interested. The mirror is obviously plastic, but has a great image. The lion peering down makes a good friend in the mirror and my son loves to catch himself in the image and then scream at himself. There is an adorable igloo/penguin teether that hasn't gotten much play time yet, either, but I'm certain it will soon. I put it in the fridge for a bit and he loved sucking on it. The little bird is the least interactive toy on the mat; she just hangs there, but I catch my son staring at it every now and again. The corresponding picture on the mat, however, is my son's favorite picture to look at.
5. PLUS- Song toy from the top can be removed an put into baby's crib at night. Doubles as a great night light and has more than enough soothing lullabies.

Similac Mom
I have had them. I use them when I am in a rush. They're not that bad, but they have to be really cold. The chocolate one to me is much better then the vanilla one, and they are quite filling. At walmart I think they're $8 for 6.

This is almost TOO perfect! It's like a cozy little nest for the new baby. Easy to use and clean, portable and easy to store. Vibrate feature is gentle enough for newborns, and the batteries last surprisingly long. My son slept in this exclusively his first three months, right next to the bed. It was super-convenient for me and I think it was a better/easier position for him to sleep in (rather than flat on his back). -

The Jolly Jumper is my--and my son's--favorite toy. We live in a house that would not allow for the traditional doorway jumpers, and I was not a fan of the Jumperoos (there was just too much distraction on those items). I was looking for a toy that would provide safe entertainment, and expend some energy that tummy-time just wasn't able to accomplish. The Jolly jumper has done just that. The seat takes a little practice snapping baby into, but after a few times it can be done quickly. Additionally, it does take floor space, but can be folded away quickly behind a door or into a closet.
Really what it comes down to is that my son lights up when he sees this toy.

I liked the ergo. It gave a good seat and great positioning for the baby and my toddler also. The only fault is that the back is not very high so as I had larger children it did not get as much use as some of the other buckle carriers offer.
I found the back carry was easy once you got the hang of placing baby onto your back there are lots of sling libraries you can visit who can help if you struggle and lots of videos on the internet you can watch. hipscoot, superman or santas toss. Baby loved to be on the back he could see everything at eye level.
There was comfort on the shoulders on long walks. I did find doing a front carry harder to do as my son got bigger as an effort to do the chest strap up. Also the carrier does sit lower on the back I prefer a higher carry but this is personal preference.
The carrier is not too expensive you also have the option to buy a bag to put your belongings into that attaches. The sleephood is great for when they nod off which is fairly often and helps support their head.
All in all if you are looking for buckles this is of great quality and design than some of the heavily advertised brands.

I like the fact that the advertisment of how much raisins are in each box, are Actually that many in each box!
Love it!
