Review & Giveaway: Chelsea Baby – The Baby Shoe with a Snap-On Bouquet

Chelsea Baby bouquet shoe

As a busy mom your baby’s shoes may be the last thing you think of when putting your baby’s outfit together.  When my daughter was a baby, I would often choose comfort over style when choosing her shoes for the day.   More often than not, Madelyn would be found wearing plane jane baby shoes.  If I had Chelsea Baby’s bouquet shoes, I wouldn’t have had to choose style OR comfort.  You don’t have to!  Your baby can have the best of both, style and comfort.

Made out of Sensuede and hand-crafted, Chelsea Baby brings babies switch-it-up style and comfort with their funkylicious (that’s what my 5 year old calls them) bouquet shoes.

These baby shoes are flexible, nice for infants and new crawlers, are easy to clean and care for, and are resistant to spills and stains.  What more could a mom ask for?

Chelsea Baby shoes have a cute little designs on them and you can snap on coordinating bouquets to kick up the pizzazz!

Choose from several snap on bouquet designs.. I would buy a few if I were you!

Where were these shoes a few years ago when my daughter was a baby?

Madelyn is waiting for the day Chelsea Baby offers their bouquet shoes for older kids. Hint, hint!

Chelsea Baby baby shoes are currently available in 0-6 months and 6-12 months sizes and there are three different styles in the girls collection now.

Sassie Babies - Diaper Diva bib

I love personalized baby bibs, bags, and baby clothes.  Personalizing your baby’s bib, diaper bag, or onesie makes that item something you and your baby will treasure for years to come, unlike generic store bought baby clothes and other items.  As your child gets older, she will love to look at her first bib and see her name on it or ‘Diaper Diva’ and smile.

Tend-a-Tot, a true all-in-one’r’.. diaper bag, chair cover, cart cover.. and 3 more

Tend-a-Tot

Contest ends July 6th

I’ve heard the phrase all-in-one a million times.  You have too right?  Well, the TEND-A-TOT™ is really really an all-in-one product for moms.  OK, so it doesn’t warm your baby’s food but it provides 6 essential functions that every moms uses (or wants to use!) every day.

TEND-A-TOT™, a product for infants through 3+ years old, has these 6 functions:

  • Diaper bag
  • Seat/chair cover
  • Child carrier
  • Shopping cart cover
  • Stroller cover – Converts an umbrella stroller into a comfortable stroller eliminating the need for an expensive, plush stroller.
  • Changing pad and coordinating bib
  • and a matching clutch purse!

You can watch a TEND-A-TOT™ demo video here.  If you’re not a visual learner like me and prefer paper instructions you will find them on the web site.  The instructions are 2 pages long but I see them as not ‘complicated’ but really good, detailed instructions.  For a product that has so many functions and is really great at each one, I expect detailed instructions!  After you transform the TEND-A-TOT™ a few times, you can toss the instructions in your recycling bin and be declared a Tend-a-Tot pro!

Tend a Tot 6-in-1

What about washing the TEND-A-TOT™ you ask?
 Products in the Premiere Line can be machine washed and can tumble-dry on low.  Urban and Elite Lines are dry clean only.

This is truly a one of a kind product that was created with busy moms in mind.  Moms can pick from lots of fabrics

TEND-A-TOT™ is available in many different colors/styles and ranges in price from $199 – $299.  The one you see here is the P1050 style and can be found on their catalog page here.  This style is sold out but there are 9 pages of styles/fabrics to browse on the Tend-a-Tot website.

TummyTub – stress free bath time for newborns and premature babies

Age 0-1 year, Bath Toys & Gear, New posts, , ,
TummyTub
Infant in TummyTub

If new parents could, they would wear earphones while bathing their newborn or just not bathe their newborn at all.  Why?  The screaming and the apparent discomfort the baby is experiencing, of course.

TummyTub is a safe solution to stressful newborn bath time allowing your baby to be in the familiar fetal position making the bathing experience more relaxing for you and baby all the while giving parents easy access to baby in order to thoroughly wash her.

Because the TummyTub only needs a small amount of water in it, it is quicker to fill than the bath tub and the water temperature stays regulated for longer as there is minimal surface area, so baby doesn’t get cold as quickly as she might in the bath tub or sink.  Emersion to shoulder level means relaxing warmth for the whole body.

If you are expecting a baby or have an infant I highly recommend visiting the TummyTub website and watching the videos and viewing the photo gallery of babies using TummyTub.

TummyTub is:

  • Useful from birth up until the age of 12 months. Some children even bath in it until they are 3 years old.
  • Especially recommended for premature babies. The shaped form conveys a feeling of reassurance and security to the baby.
  • Safe.  The TummyTub® has been tested for safety by the STR in the USA and UK.

TummyTub can be purchased at Amazon.com here.
