Soft Gear: Soft, Safe and Fun for Your Little One!

Review by Christine:

Soft GearTrademark symbol  is headquartered and manufactured in North Carolina, where they pride themselves on producing American-made children’s products. Soft Gear offers innovative products that are proven to be safe, comfortable and fun.  Their wide-range of anti-microbial products have non-slip surfaces to ensure every child’s health and safety.

IMG_0021Every Soft Gear product is:

  • Germ and mold-resistant
  • Non-slip surface
  • Non-absorbent
  • Non-allergenic
  • Patent-pending suction cups
  • Hand holds on each side
  • Cushioned with 3-D molded thermoplastic elastomer foam
  • Lightweight and transportable
  • Chip and fade-resistant
  • Easy to clean and dishwasher-safe
  • Carrying case included

Soft Gear sent me a My Booster seat to try and review.  My three and a half year-old hasn’t used a booster year for at least a year, and she was willing to try this out even though it is blue.  After a few meals on the booster she hasn’t gone back, and it stays permanently on her seat at the table now.  It took a few tries for her to figure out how to get into the booster on her own since it does suction onto the chair and she was accustomed to sitting on her knees.  The suction is a nice feature since it doesn’t slip around, even with wiggly preschoolers who require many reminders to sit still.

Soft Gear My Booster is made with exclusive closed-cell foam technology and is mold-resistant and latex-free. Plus, it’s anti-microbial so microorganisms won’t degrade your booster or affect your child’s health. It’s easy to wipe down, and remove with one hand to clean.  My Booster is lightweight and transportable.  Retail price is $34.99 – 39.99.

In addition to My Booster, Soft Gear offers other innovative products as well.  A Place Mat, Changing Mat, Deluxe Changing Mat and Deluxe Nap Mat are all durable and transportable children’s products that are practical for the parent on-the-go and at home.

Mutsy Grow Up Giveaway

MUTSY GROW-UP!

The most stylish seat at the table for baby.  Mutsy’s Grow-Up! booster seat allows baby to sit in the average grown up chair safely and comfortably.  Grow-Up! features a clever harness to ensure baby is securely fastened.  The easy to clean, easy to transport seat is ideal from when baby can sit unaided to approximately 4 years of age.

Just in case you did not have time to watch the video above here is what I have to tell you. My Mutsy Grow up is the new Blueberry. It also comes in Raspberry, Aqua, Apple, Mandarin. It is soft and squishy to the touch, it must be comfortable because my daughter likes to sit in it. She asks to sit in it. I think it’s a great booster seat for us to keep in the van so that we always have one with us.

It is extremely easy to install and if you watch the video you’ll see how you can tighten it. The design of the straps is very simple and secure at the same time. When I saw all of it at first I was a bit worried, but I’m not anymore. My daughter likes to play with the straps and she can hook them and unhook them very easily so if you’re intent on using it as a security system it’s not going to work. But it is in my opinion safe to use as a booster seat if it is installed correctly.

You can find out more about the Mutsy Grow Up booster seat at Mutsy.com or even order one at Goores.com. Mutsy specializes in strollers and seating.
