About BooYah Baby:

Two hip moms (one from back East and one from Los Angeles) are both pushing their strollers down Robertson Boulevard one day, complaining about their ugly strollers and brainstorming a solution as they pass the Ivy. By the time they hit Melrose, they give birth to a brilliant new "necessary" for the fashion forward infants and toddlers in their lives: the stroller liner.  BOOYAH BABY IS FOR BABIES! BooYah Baby’s lead product is a stylish and practical stroller liner which comes in a variety of color combinations and is compatible with all the major stroller brands (Bugaboo, Maclaren, Peg Perego, Graco and more). We’ve even seen some pretty smart toddlers put them in and take them out themselves.

BoohYah has offered one lucky reader a stroller liner (69.00 Value)

Keep Heads Warm with Buddy Tops This Winter Review and #giveaway

My kids were each sent one of the adorable little buddy tops to wear this winter. My son received the Dalmatian

 

 

and my daughter received the pink bunny rabbit.

 

 

 

I did not expect them to actually fit their heads, I was pleasantly surprised that they fit. Now, kids being kids, they aren’t excited to keep them on their heads. There was one day though, that my son kept the Dalmation on his head for a while while he was playing in the house but when I went to get the camera he said, “no, no pcure” and ripped it from his head.

So you have to trust me when I say it was adorable. The floppy pieces at his sides, just so cute. There’s not much else to say about them. They are like a toy, or an addition to a costume, but they also keep the kids ears warm. No I take that back, they keep their entire heads warm in style. I’m all for keeping toddlers looking like toddlers and not tweens.

The buddy tops retail for 25.00 and are currently on sale for 19.95. They have generously offered to provide one to giveaway to one of my readers. They have seven different animal buddies to choose from.

To Enter:

Visit Buddy Tops and tell me which animal is your favorite.

Buckle Toy’s Turtle Buckle Toy Review and #giveaway

The Buckle Toy company sent my family a Turtle Buckle Toy. There is quite a bit to learn from the Turtle Buckle toy.

One, kids learn hand eye coordination by learning to buckle and un buckle the buckles.

clip_image001

Two, they learn how to match simple colors and shapes. The buckles are different types of latches.

Three, they can learn their numbers 1-10

clip_image001[4]

Four, They can learn their shapesclip_image001[6]

 

Five, they can learn how to do a zipper up and down, more hand eye coordination.

Six, my son seems to understand that heads turtles belong inside their shell, so he shoves the head inside. So how about turtle anatomy.

The couple behind the Buckle Toy, Seth and Jill Gomez, came up with the idea after a weekend in which their 1-year-old ignored his other toys and kept playing with the buckles on his stroller. The toy is proving to be very popular with my son. He’s at the age where he’s just now trying to start working buckles. My daughter was obsessed with them for the longest time. She will still buckle all the buckles on an empty car seat or stroller that she finds. More details can be found www.buckletoy.com.

The Turtle Buckle Toy, which sells for $24.95

The Photo Review: He’s all smiles and sometimes takes it to bed to cuddle with. He carries it around like a baby doll and loves on it. He sometimes asks for help with the buckles but mostly he just loves to play with it. It’s one of his favorite toys.

Bumbleride Flyer the amazing stroller Review, Donation and #Giveaway

The Bumbleride Flyer has become one of my favorite strollers and I’m difficult to please. I would actually say that it is my favorite stroller if you don’t include jogging strollers, and I think the only reason whey is because it doesn’t have the inflatable wheels. So if you could upgrade your wheels to be the inflatable ones that come on all their other strollers then I would have to say that the Bumbleride Flyer is my favorite stroller hands down.

 

The Flyer is an amazing stroller. Why?

You can put it together in no time flat. This thing was so easy to put together I was in shock. The pieces all just snap together. The wheels can be locked into place and unlocked. Even the front wheels can be locked into the forward position. This is a good feature if you’re going fast or downhill. It will keep you on your path. Runners need a stroller like this.

It unfolds and folds up very easily. For a mom that is on the go this is another must. Strollers no matter how big they are need to be light weight (19 lbs) and easy to fold up. They need to not take up much room by folding down really flat.

The first stroller that we purchased was not great for our baby. She had to grow into it. So that’s another plus for the Flyer. The Flyer is suitable from infancy on with a reclining back and a five point harness it’s a treat for the baby and mother. Anything that can be an all in one is another plus in my book. The Carrying handle makes it great for traveling with, and the handlebar is reversible. I can lower it enough so that my daughter can push her brother (she’s three). But you can also use it to make the stroller face the other way.

 

As you can see from the picture above, the cover can be extended to shield your child from the sun. You can also unzip it and move it to different angles. The cargo basket is roomy, but a little difficult to shove things in when the kids are in it and reclined at all. I would also say that it’s a pricy stroller but it is good from birth to 45 lbs, meaning it’s going to last you a long time and if your children are spaced out enough, you can keep from buying another stroller. My only other complaint would be the wheels, like I mentioned above, they aren’t very good on gravel. We tried to go up hill on gravel and it wasn’t as easy as I would have preferred.

Price 359.99 and comes in five color options.

Comes Standard with:

  • Rain Cover (a must in the Pacific Northwest, all other strollers I had to buy this or we would hardly ever get any use out of our stroller)
  • Bumper Bar
  • Cup Holder (a mom must have her coffee (I’m sure hot drinks aren’t recommended around babies, but I always have coffee in my cup holder)
  • Headrest and Shoulder Pads (my daughter says, “comfy mommy”)
  • Infant Seat Adapter Bar & Safety Belt (I didn’t need this but hope the stroller goes to someone with a new child)

 

I also received one of their accessories to go along with the stroller; the snack pack. Even my daughter doesn’t need an explanation of what it was. When I took her for a ride in this stroller she said mom I need a snack for my box. Oh yea! Smart girl. The snack pack attached easily to the stroller, you place it in the location of the bumper bar. The Snack Pack is 39.99.

 

Bumbleride sent me a stroller to review and it is their policy that bloggers return the strollers. They are allowing me to donate it on their behalf. I am very excited about the donation. It is going to make a family in my community very happy. They are also providing the giveaway for one lucky Mom Start Reader.

Thank You Bumbleride!!
