Customer Reviews:

Any item meant to catch baby poo should be able to go into the machine
These are a fantastic idea, but utterly fail in the execution. Call me crazy, but I think that something that is expected to catch feces with any frequency should be washable in hot water, and dried in the machine. The instructions on these indicate they are to be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle and air dried. Seriously, who has time to separate baby’s laundry into multiple loads for washing and then remember to air dry certain items when your head’s scrambled by sleep deprivation? I put these in the dryer, hoping they’d survive, but the backs melted together; I tried to pull them apart gently and it just ripped great holes in the rubber-like backing, so they’re no longer waterproof. I just use a cloth diaper instead — they’re absorbent enough to catch most accidents, can go right into the hot water wash to get good and clean after a mess, and are cheap enough that I can buy enough always to have a fresh one to swap in.

Don’t waste your money
These liners are not even close to the quality of the liners that come with the Boppy changing pad cover. They are thin and scratchy, and when you dry them on low as directed, they curl up like a scroll never to be flat again. Shame on Boppy. They’re clearly capable of making a better quality product, because the liners that came with my change pad covers had none of these problems. They just chose to cut corners.

One of my favorite baby items
Now that my son is seven months, it’s time to write this review.

I do consider myself a clean freak and unfortunately, I love the color white! So, I knew it would be a challenge keeping the changing cover bright white. However, when I stumbled upon this product, I was so excited.

Thanks to these, my changing pad covers look brand new. I loved these. Every time there were accidents (there were lots, especially with a boy!), I would hand wash them with soap and water and hang dry them on my towel rack in the bathroom. While that one dries (which took a day), I would use the other ones. After a few months of hand washing them, I started to throw them in the washer, but still hang dry them and it’s worked out perfectly. They are still in mint, bright white condition.

I read the reviews before I bought these and decided to never machine dry them and it’s worked out amazingly. However, if you want them in their bright white condition, I would recommend hand washing them with soap immediately after your little one has been taken care of.

A word of warning!!
A word of warning to anyone considering purchasing the Lascal Kiddyboard-Maxi. I had extremely high hopes for this product and loved it for the first few months. At the time, I had four children under the age of 4 and this board allowed me to physically push all four kids in the stroller at the same time (assuming I was wearing one of them in a bjorn). However, after several months of moderate use, the board began to spontaneously disconnect from the stroller attachment, causing my child to fall off of the board while the stroller was still moving. This was very dangerous. When I called the customer service number to report the problem, I asked whether this was a common occurrence. The customer care rep answered something to the effect of “only in New York, where it is cold and people go on and off of sidewalks frequently.” She asked me if I lived in a cold climate - which I do. Apparently, cold weather is enough to cause this product to break. I would not risk putting my child on it again and I feel that consumers deserve to be aware of this problem. Proceed with caution.

Excellent! Great for older toddlers/young kids
I have just ordered extra stroller attachments for our “boogy board” as my daughter calls it, so we can attach it to all three of our strollers. (the attachments can be ordered at their website at www.lascal.se) We attached it first to our Maclaren Quest. My older daughter turned five and is “too old” for the stroller, but she loves to ride the boogy board. When we are on long walks or long trips to the mall it is a lifesaver. At the beginning of the year we went to Disney (with our 3 and 5 year old) and we were so happy we had the buggy board for the long walk to and from the car and then from the train to the parks and waiting to get in. Even though we rented a double stroller there and gate checked ours, the stroller and buggy board made a HUGE difference when trying to hurry to and from the park - a couple parks are a big walk! Not to mention how much slower kids are when you are walking. And at the end of the day we would have been carrying her if it wasn’t for the buggy board.
Yes, you do have to reach around them and walk with smaller steps, but I expected that when I bought it and would much rather do that than carry her.
We now have a ten month old so I ordered the straps which are used to attach the board to your stroller to go on our double stroller so she’ll still be able to “boogy”!
As for use, it took a while to get the straps on the stroller (maybe 1/2 hour) but once you have them on where you need them you’re set. The straps are what you attach the buggy board to. To remove it you click the arms off the attachment to the stoller, then squeeze the button on the arms to move them out so you can take it off. Or you can unlock it with a twist of the wheel and fold it up - it comes with an attachment for holding it up. I usually take mine off and stick it in the basket, it takes 5-10 seconds to take it off or reattach it. It is very sturdy and was not wobbly at all!
We love it!

best thing for older sibling
bought it, attached it and traveled with it immediately. awesome through the airport. awesome walking all over new york. awesome walking all through disneyworld. we have a 5 yr old and an infant. it was great. the 5 yr old could get off and on easily. the board easily lifts with a strap. we bought an extra set of attachments so that we could easily move the board from the regular stroller to the jogger (which also required extenders) if you are a walker and have 2 kids this is absolutely worth the money. i only gave 4 stars bc it was a little hard for me to attach the first time.

Customer Reviews:

nipple supposed to flex like breast for breastfed babies
My son seems to like this style pacifier the best so I went out and bought two more packages. They come in pink & green or blue & green. (Buy them in the store though if you can find them. I got mine at Target for $3.49/ two pack.) I like that they are very easy to clean. I will either run them through the dishwasher or in our microwave steam sterilizer to clean. They do not come apart and it is nice to have a small “handle” to grab onto them or clip a pacifier tether onto it. They do not wrap around my son’s face like other brands and they have big air vents to keep from having too much moisture up against his face.

• Will accommodate strollers that fold to 40.5″ by 15.5″

Customer Reviews:

Very useful to protect stoller.
We really liked the product. It protects the stroller, and is very lightweight and easy to handle.

The only reason why we don’t give it five stars is because airline personnel don’t identify it as a stroller. So usually it gets confused with other luggage and we don’t get it at the plane door upon arrival. So we need to specifically ask for it.

WE SUGGEST THAT THE MAKERS PLACE A BIG ILLUSTRATION OF A STROLLER ON IT to avoid confusions (considering language barriers, an illustration might be best).

Job well done
I recently traveled with my 1 year old daughter and we took our peg-perego si with us. We bought this bag as the other bags have different dimensions that wouldn’t work for the size of our stroller. The peg-perego si fit perfectly into this bag. The bag is thin & light and does its job well. Our stroller didn’t get dirty nor damaged. It was used for 4 flights and barely shows signs of wear. It comes with a tag to put personal information (name, phone #, address) and the zippers are easy to open and close. Recommend it.

From the Manufacturer
The peg perego travel bag is a sturdy carrying case designed for the perego pliko P3 and the pliko switch strollers.

Ovulite Unlimited Testing Personal Ovulation Microscope Description:

Ovulite operates on the principle that saliva when you are on the verge of ovulating - forms a ferning pattern when it dries. These fern-like patterns (which appear like frost on a windowpane) are easily observable through the Ovulite ocular lens which is capable of a 40X magnification.By observing changes in your saliva patterns, you can predict ovulation -with 98% accuracy. “Ferning” patterns (#3) indicate ovulation and peak fertility. Ovulite is FDA-registered and very easy to use. Ovulite consists of a small, cylindrical container about the size of a lipstick tube, a high-quality focalizable eyepiece, and a small slide where the saliva sample is placed and illuminated with an LED light when a button is pressed. Advantages of Ovulite include: Access to a toll-free helpline 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The only FDA-Registered Ferning Scope on the market! An unconditional money-back guarantee! A 98% accuracy! Easy-to-use with virtually no learning curve! Unlimited testing completely re-usable! Comes with a free carrying case and a detailed instruction book.

Customer Reviews:

FINALLY !!!
Finally a way not to spend $300 to determine ovulation. This unit works and costs nothing compared to the urine tests.
I used the Ovulite for 60 days and I am expecting in October of this year.
Thank you! Thank you!

Exceeded up to expectations
After some researching on ovulation kits, my husband and I settled on this one. First of all, it is completely reuseable. This was hugely attractive since I am so irregular that my doctor wondered if I had ever ovulated. I would have spent a fortune on the urine tests which only come 7 or 9 in a package because I wouldn’t have known which days to test.
Also, this is extremely easy to use and the directions are easy to understand and follow. Basically the principle as I understand it is that in your dried saliva when you are ovulating is a ferning pattern which you can see through this device. It is amazing….they have a picture on the box and when you see what looks like a mess of pine tree on the slide…you know it is positive.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this machine….I would recommend also purchasing either lens tissue or one of those microfiber cloths that you might use to clean a camera lens or glasses with. It helps you to make sure that you’ve cleaned the slide well in between days to see the results accurately.
Try it if you want to get pregnant….for someone who never thought it could be possible….I am now a proud mommy!

not just an ovulation predictor
Very easy to use, and to my knowledge it’s pretty accurate.

Now, what is not mentioned anywhere is that it also can predict pregnancy. If 5-10 days after ovulation you still keep getting the same rich fern pattern, you probably are pregnant. I’ve thought it should work this way, but never had a chance to prove my idea untill recently. Happy to tell, I was correct!

Customer Reviews:

Best lanolin for breastfeeding
I liked this lanolin much better than the medela brand. It is thicker and stays on better. The medela brand seemed too thin and I kept having to reapply. This was a lifesaver item for me as my nipples were super cracked and sore. I kept one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen/living room and one in the diaper bag.

Too thick for comfort
I had very little tenderness when I first started breastfeeding. I mainly wanted to prevent cracked nipples as they were a little tender those first few days. This product comes out incredibly thick and is difficult to even squeeze out of the tube. When applying it is still so thick (even after rubbing between fingers to soften) that it hurts to apply. I would recommend Medela instead - it is much easier to apply.

Effective support for breastfeeding moms
Definitely an effective nursing cream for breastfeeding moms. Bought if for my daughter…what a relief. Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Amazingly absorbent, and super thin!
We tried everything on my little super soaker. From disposable diapers to triple or quadruple stuffed cloth diapers - we even tried hemp inserts inside of disposabes, but most of these failed miserably and she’d wake up wet at least 4 nights a week. These inserts have saved us! I use three in her Fuzzi Bunz diaper and they work amazingly well! Not a single leak since we started using them. Don’t be alarmed by the size when you first get them, they will shrink to the right size. Also, in order to make them super absorbent, you need to wash them a few times (I boiled them for 30 min since I have read about that on several cloth diapering sites).

Every Infant Should Have these!
I think these are the trimmest, most absorbent inserts on the market! I can’t recommend them enough. The small are just the right size for newborns and small infants. But, the best part is when my baby outgrew them I started using them as doublers for when we need more absorbency. And they don’t add bulk. I feel like my little one can move and crawl better without all the fluff between his legs. And these are perfect for that while being “bulletproof” at the same time! Love them

Super absorbent and fit in my g-diapers perfectly
I bought these to use in my gdiapers because I didn’t like the gdiaper brand cloth inserts and was happily surprised by how absorbent these are compared to other brands. My little one is a heavy wetter and I was having to change other brands ever hour or 2 and these ones she can go all night without a change and no leaks so far. I’ve heard other complain about them getting smelly because they are so absorbent but I soak them in cold water immediately after use and then put them in a wet bag until they are washed in hot then cold water and I’ve never had a problem. I highly recommend.

Customer Reviews:

Oddly enough, my baby’s favorite toy…
The large, round caterpillar ring in this Baby Einstein link set has been my baby’s favorite toy since she first started grasping objects… She smiles when she sees it, stares at the colors on his back, traces its bumps with her finger, holds it up in the air to see how it looks in the light, turns it around, bangs it against the table, crawls with it still in her hand, bites it when she’s teething, and holds it up for me to “bite” and then giggles. This toy keeps her calm in the car and while we’re out shopping. I can’t say enough good things about it… (I even had to get a 2nd one in case we lost it.)

The other links that come with this set are cute, but seem to get “loose” with heavy use. (Some toys with small links can fall off them.) However, I would buy this set again in a heartbeat, just to see my baby’s face light up at that little caterpillar she loves so much.

Check healthy toys.org for this product…….
This product is on the list of tested toys on healthytoys.org. It has high levels of chlorine/PCV. My son liked his but I’ve taken them away.

Not as strong as my baby
We use these links to hang toys from my daughter’s jumperoo and high chair. When she pulls on the toys, the links bend out of shape easily. They are not as strong as some of the other brand links we were given by friends. Looking at what the other reviews have said, I definitely would not let her use them as a teething toy, but we mostly use wooden or natural rubber teethers anyway.

From the Manufacturer
This set of 15 colorful links are a fun way to make all of baby’s favorite toys on-the-go toys. Simply snap the colorful links together and attach to strollers, infant carriers, cribs or diaper bags and watch baby begin to explore and discover through play - on the go! The Baby Einstein Link Set comes with 15 whimsically-shaped links that introduce colors, numbers, animals and shapes. They are easy to grasp with various textures for added tactile development.

Baby Jogger - Rain Canopy
This product works GREAT….we had an opportunity to really test this out during a couple of spring storms.

Good product, good quality
This is the third stroller we bought in a short period. First we got a jogger stroller (lie the Jeep one), very bulk, heavy and impossible to use in a trip. Then we got a quinny, nice design, lightweigth, but cannot be used on uneven paviment and it doesn’t lay down the baby, so it was uselless during our last vacations.

perfect
The Baby Jogger City Series rain/wind canopy is fabulous. Fits perfectly, as it should. It’s easy to put on and is so great to have in the winter’s cold wind and anytime it’s snowing or raining. I’m happy that my baby is comfortable. Love it!
