Innobaby is the Spot for Green Gifts and Innovative Baby Solutions – Video Review and GIVEAWAY

By: Ashley

Have you ever visited Innobaby.com? Innobaby has tons of products designed with you, your baby, and the Earth in mind. Their green thinking solutions help make snack time, meal time, and pretty much ANY time just a little bit easier.

 

When my son was younger, Christmas was the perfect opportunity to stock up on some products that I thought would help make my life a little easier and things he enjoyed. New sippy cups, snack containers, and dishes were some of my favorite picks. Innobaby has a great selection of all those things and they’re all eco friendly.

The multi use drink holder is really one of the coolest things ever. We’ve all experienced that juice box overflow that happens when little hands squeeze a little too tightly. The holder is great! It can hold juice boxes, pouches, water bottles, and more. A very handy addition to any mom purse or diaper bag.

Our friends at Innobaby want to give one lucky MomStart reader a fantastic gift basket full of their coolest products, including the ones in the video! All you need to do is follow the directions in the Rafflecopter to enter. Good luck!

Innobaby: Practical Products for Today’s Parents

August 18, 2012 by Momstart 8 Comments

By Christine,

In 2006 two friends who happened to be moms saw an unmet need of innovative & practical baby items, and Innobaby was born.  Founders, Jee & Kristen’s award winning products are sold through various retail channels within U.S. and overseas. Innobaby is a family owned business employing the nicest, honest, and qualified people – sometimes even neighborhood friends and families!

Innobaby understands how parents will not compromise quality when selecting products for their children. From raw materials selected to the manufacturing processes, they ensure that all products exceed CPSIA standards and are tested by 3rd party testing companies.

I was sent two great products to try and review; the Sippin’ Smart™ ez flow straw sippy and the Keepin’ Fresh™ Kids Stainless Divided Bento.  Leakproof Spillproof Easy Flow Straw Sippy retails for $12.99.   Double Insulated Stainless Divided Bento retails for $14.99.

IMG_0669

Sippin’ Smart™ ez flow straw sippy / 10 oz

innobaby’s Sippin Smart™ ez flow straw sippy allows ez drinking in any position with its ez flow design. 

SMART features include:

  • smart straw with weighted stainless ball follows the liquid to provide continuous flow
  • ez flex smart straw is designed to be leak resistant even when it is flipped
  • ez grip lid with leakproof silicone seal makes it 100% leakproof
  • silicone air release valve prevents liquid overflow and guarantees easy flow
  • wide cup opening and curved base makes cleaning easy
  • smart straw tip is designed to be durable & comfortable with its bubble shaped curve to prevent slipping while sipping
  • flip top cap keeps smart straw clean
  • tip resistant base
  • 10oz capacity with embossed measurements on the cup
  • BPA-, Phthalates-, PVC-, Lead Free
  • straw brush included

At first glance this sippy cup looked a bit complicated with the stainless ball at the bottom and tiny cleaning brush.  What I realized when I tried it out (yes I did drink out of it) is that creative little ball ensures that whether you hold the cup straight or tilt it, that the liquid will still come out because the ball floats in the water wherever in happens to be.  As for the tiny brush- it’s genius to include a brush specific to the straw tubing of the cup.  I have ended up throwing away several cups over the years because they just can’t be thoroughly cleaned.IMG_0672

I also gave the cup my own durability test before handing it over to baby M to try out.  I filled it with water and shook it hard and also squeezed on the straw (think milking a cow) and not even a drop of water spilled out.  I also appreciate that the cup has handles and a flip-top lid so it can be closed and kept clean even when out and about.  Baby M is almost 10 months old now and is not a big fan of other sippy cups.  One style is too difficult for her to get anything out of, and the other she can squish on the highchair tray and squeeze a big mess out.

I gave M the cup to try out and she didn’t know what to do with it at first, as she’s never used a straw cup before. She banged it around and played with the straw until I demonstrated for her how to use it.  At this point she prefers to chew on the straw and play with it.  But I know that as she develops her sippy cup drinking skills this will be our go-to cup.

Keepin’ Fresh™ Kids Stainless Divided Bento / 11 oz

Innobaby’s Keepin’ Fresh™ Stainless Divided Bento  is a SMART storage solution for home and on-the-go.  The stainless divided bento is specially designed to store with easy to use airtight lid, making it a versatile, safe, and eco-friendly food storage solution.  Great for storing cut out sandwiches, pastas, salads and more.

Why Keepin’ Fresh™ Kids Stainless Divided Bento?

It’s Easy To Use!  It’s Easy To Wash!

  • BPA free protective sleeve reduces temperature transfers to keep little hands from hot or cold foods, keep contents fresher by minimizing temperature changes, and prevent dents to stainless
  • Double wall insulated keeps food cold/warm for up to 2 times longer than standard containers.
  • Leakproof for mess free lunch.
  • Four hinged airtight lid is easy to snap open and close even for the toddlers.
  • Perfectly portioned stainless bento is easy-to-wash with its removable stainless body from the protective sleeve.
  • Locking lid with airtight silicone ring seals in the freshness and preserves the fresh taste to satisfy all taste buds
  • Available in 11 oz & 15 oz capacity
  • removable type 304 stainless steel
  • Freezer Safe
  • BPA-, Phthalates-, PVC-, Lead Free

I love any reusable food storage product, especially for my kids.  The thought of throwing hundreds of plastic baggies into the landfill makes me feel a little sick. All of the Innobaby storage solutions can be easily rinsed out for quick reuse.  I also appreciate that the stainless steel portion can be removed, as it makes the whole container feel a bit heavy to me for a pre-k kiddo.  The Innobaby divided bento is a great piece for the back-to-school preparations. A loves the container and has decided to fill it with snacks to carry around the house.  Now I just need to find it so I can use it for her lunch for summer camp tomorrow.

Innobaby Bento Box Keepin’ Fresh

December 15, 2011 by Momstart 5 Comments

By Summer:

What’s your mommy word? You know, the one like Pee Wee Herman had, you hear it and it makes you so crazy happy you want to scream. Mine is BENTO! (AHHhhhh!)

IMG_9100

You can put anything in a Bento! I love to bento for lunch and snacks on the go, and to preschool and next year in a lunchbox to avoid school cafeteria lunches. Oh wait, what is bento? Bento is a Japanese word for a box style which provides a compartment(s) offering a single portion of a dish. You can buy take and toss containers, but I love to be more eco so of course I love Innobaby bento.

IMG_9102

Innobaby has a Keepin’ Fresh line in plastic, glass and stainless. Innobaby’s boxes are BPA FREE, Phthalate FREE, PVC FREE, and Lead FREE. Innobaby boxes are leak proof for mess free food packing, and I can speak to it as I’ve been using Innobaby for a year now. We use Innobaby products typically on the go and in my purse (so you know I don’t want snacks all in my purse … especially juicy ones).

clip_image002

Whether you’re a new mom or a veteran, Innobaby has products for you. Innobaby does offer a bottle system (which can convert with a straw top FYI) and crib sheets, but they also offer tableware (plates, cups, and bowls) and multi-use drink holders. You really need to check out their site to see what Innobaby can offer your family. Don’t forget to tell your friends about your Innobaby wish list too; great stocking stuffers – wink, wink Santa!IMG_9103

Get your bento on! Here are some bento ideas from my friend Angie. In bento each item is easy to prepare, pack, and eat though there is an art to it too. So bento with Innobaby!

Innobaby Keepin’ Fresh Baby Food Storage Solution Containers Review

January 31, 2011 by Momstart 4 Comments

By Summer:

We’re a family always on the go! We sleep in late and then we have to run to toddler group, preschool, MOMS Club events, or play dates. In the midst of all this we … ok, I … need to get these bottomless pits fed.

clip_image002It seems like foods these days come in only two sizes of packaging: bulk or snack. Though I have been collecting my snack size packages to recycle with Terracycle (you might remember them from my Bear Naked review), I find it to be a better deal to purchase in bulk. In bulk I typically get less packaging and best monetary value. The problem with bulk foods is size! I need things smaller for little fingers, transportation, portion control and storage. I found an answer with a Chicago based mommy-made small company, innobaby.

clip_image004I was asked by innobaby to review their Keepin’ Fresh baby food storage solution containers. I said yes because it’s something I knew I’d use all the time, and I liked the look of their hinge design locking seal tops which are airtight and leak proof. I also appreciate that their plastic materials are BPA, phthalate, PVC, and lead free. (You might be sold already. I know I was!) So I got my 2 pack stage 1 (90ml sized) packages and they are the PERFECT size for my needs.

clip_image005The innobaby Keepin’ Fresh system is made for moms like me! The containers are stain resistant so no scrubbing needed. Just add them to the top rack for safe dishwasher cleaning which by the way is more eco-friendly than hand washing dishes as it uses less water, and who really has the time to hand wash dishes anyway. The Keepin’Fresh system is freezer safe and microwave safe too (though you need to remove the lid). For storage they are also space-saving as they are stackable. (Don’t confuse them with innobaby’s Packin’ Smart which is an interlocking stacking storage system; though they look awesome and would be highly functionally for the snack-a-holic children like mine.)

clip_image006The innobaby Keepin’ Fresh system is also available in stage 2 (100ml) and glass (150ml). In addition to the Keepin’ Fresh and previously mentioned Packin’ Smart systems, innobaby makes stainless steel beverage containers, platters and bento boxes; bottles; straw cups; organic crib sheet toppers; and bamboo seat toppers for strollers and car seats. They all have cute little names like Keepin’ Fresh, Din Din Smart, Nursin’ Smart, Sleepin’ Smart, and Sittin’ Smart.

My opinion is these are a great buy! Innobaby containers are something for your own needs or for the mom-to-be on your shopping list. Use them at home or on the go. No more crushed snacks, soggy food, or open holes and escaping food from snack traps. Innobaby Keepin’ Fresh baby food storage solution containers are perfect for purse transport as I’m a fan of not carrying my diaper bag and purse. (I’ve never been a mom who could combine the two for the super-hybrid as other moms have done.)

You can find innobaby products for sale on their site, through other innobaby online retailers, or at a store near you. You can also stay connected to innobaby on Facebook and on Twitter @innobaby.

For the writing of this post innobaby supplied me with one package of two Keepin’ Fresh Stage 1 (90ml) baby food storage containers.
