The Miami Neatnik Saucer High Chair Cover & Placemat

The Miami Neatnik Saucer High Chair Cover & PlacematI really wanted to love this. I was so excited to see an all in one compact chair/table cover, but this just doesn't work in most places.

Pros:

Great Idea

Folds compact

all-in-one

Velcro toys so they don't fall I didn't use this, but my son liked playing with them. :P

Pro/Con It's huge. This could be a pro because it covers lots of space, but it's also a con. It takes up too much table space at restaurants.

Cons:

Every place we tried to use it the table is taller than the high chair which causes it to angle down toward the baby. If the suction cup doesn't stay in place the food rolls into the childs lap.

Suction cups don't work on all surfaces. That's to be expected, but with the angle issues the food falls into the lap.

The leg holes don't seem low enough. The legs are pulling the saucer part down even more.

Check out full review with pictures here.

We bought this high chair cover and used it on our Disney trip last week for our one year old baby girl. It was incredible! I had so many compliments on it as well. Its a bit tricky to fold at times but anything that does this "circle into itself folding" is. It was easy to wipe clean and easy and small enough to fit in the stroller to carry around all day in the park, as well as at the dining table in our condo. IT was so much cleaner for her to eat independently in the highchair with the table covered than eating off the dirty tables since she doesn't like to be spoon fed already. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The size was fine... a bit big for a small table but it didn't bother us! We bought it off Zulily for about the same price as amazon.

We are an on-the-go type of family, and it's great to have the neatnik saucer to take along. Waitstaff in restaurants no longer cringe when we walk in with a baby we are often thanked for using this and keeping the cleanup to a minimium! I adore that my baby isn't touching (or eating off of) a nasty table that was last cleaned "who knows when" using "who knows what". It's a bit awkward to fold back up, usually takes a few tries, but easier with every use. The suction cups are super strong. Overall, a wonderful purchase, and this will be one of my "go-to" baby gifts for every new parent I know.

i bought this neatnik saucer for use at my job, i'm a server, and hoped it would keep some of the food off of the floor, unfortunatly, the tables are too high for the saucer to be effective, i had to return it, cool idea though

I really should have listened to the other reviews. This is way too big to be practical. It would take up about half of a normal 4 top table. I guess we will go back to picking up all the dropped food from the floor.

Natural Finish Wood Stackable Booster Seat w/Seat Belts

Natural Finish Wood Stackable Booster Seat w/Seat BeltsOverall we really love this booster seat. It is very sturdy & I expect it to hold up well through all our children & much longer. The booster blends in nicely to our "natural finish" dining chairs and I love that it's solid wood and not plastic, foam, or MDF like so many other products these days. The only thing I think could be improved is the strap length, they are way longer than you will ever need even if your little one is on the chunky side. My 20 month old could easily stand up and climb right out of the chair with the belt on the tightest setting originally. I've since shortened mine up and they work much better now.

This chair is sturdy, but two straps just aren't enough to tightly secure it to our standard dining room chairs. The seat has a lot of play, which our toddler has turned into a game of rocking the seat far forward and backward. Not really dangerous, but enough that the diligent parent might be concerned.

The first one we purchased arrived broken. The second one doesn't secure to the chair well enough and is too narrow a fit for our son. They both went back.

Ellie & Luke Diaper Bag with Changing Pad 4 Pieces Set

Ellie & Luke Diaper Bag with Changing Pad 4 Pieces SetI bought this set for a close friend of mine who is having a little girl next month. I was very very very happy with this product. Good size, CHEAP & came with an extra diaper bag. Very pleased with the price on this. You cant go to walmart and get this same deal. Also, as far as shipping, it gave me about 2 1/2 weeks for delivery but I received it within 3 days of ordering it. (could be the state difference). Definitely very happy with it and I know my girlfriend will enjoy it!!

Earth's Best Greek Yogurt Smoothie, 3.1 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Earth's Best Greek Yogurt Smoothie, Cherry, 3.1 Ounce PouchesI did not buy this product from Amazon, but in a local grocery store, so I give it five stars for the taste, the healthy ingredients and nutritious value. Both my children, 2.5 y.o. and 9 mos old absolutely love it (the banana flavor).I plan to purchase more from Amazon since they offer a slightly lower price for a 12-pack (vs. store's 6 pack).

My daughter said it tasted like it was rotten she even had one of her friends taste it she ended up throwing the whole case out I will never recommend this!

As a mom and a nurse practitioner, it is important for me to find foods that are both nutritious and good tasting for my children! First of all, I LOVE the fact that this yogurt smoothie is organic. I think it's very important to offer organic foods as they are grown without hormones/pesticides/antibiotics etc. This yogurt offers a great amount of protein & fat, as well a serving of fruit. I always choose products with whole milk, as the fats are crucial for brain development in the first few years of life. The cultures in the yogurt help break down the milk so it is easier to digest, making it acceptable for a baby. My 9 month old and 27 month old both love this yogurt smoothie! They make for a great snack after nap time in the afternoon! :-) I HIGHLY recommend it!!

Earth's Best Organic Sesame Street Yogurt Rice Crisp Bars, Banana, 4.0 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Earth's Best Organic Sesame Street Yogurt Rice Crisp Bars, Banana, 4.0 Ounce Boxesmy son loves this, it's great to use when out and about. i always make sure i have a few in the diaper bag. a nutritius way of keeping him away from junk food at the store.

not terrific for on the go or carseats as they can get rather sticky. It's perfect size for the 18 mos to 2 1/2 year crowd but older kids/preschoolers might need 2-4 to be considered a filling snack. They make a nice vanilla flavor as well.

My 2yr old loves these. There is a strong banana taste to them. They are made with dried bananas and that is what this bar tastes like not a fresh peeled banana. There was a review that stated that these bars taste artificial, in fact, there are no artificial ingredients in them she was tasting the dried bananas.

Bottom line, if you like dried bananas then these are for you.

The vanilla ones have a much softer taste.

I purchased this item for two of my grandchildren (ages 2 and 5) and, while they do both tend to be picky eaters, this product was not one of their favorites. I am sorry that I had to purchase several boxes, just to try it. I was not impressed with the "banana" flavoring. I guess I expected it to taste more like real bananas (think banana bread), instead of that overpowering, fake banana taste that is often found in commercial products. It may be organic, but that does not guarantee that it is good tasting. To be fair, this product was designed for children, so I hope others post a review based on the opinion of little ones who are not as choosy as my grandkids!

Kids Line 6-Bottle Steaming Sanitizer

Baby Chef Six Bottle Sanitizing SteamerI bought this item because I was using a lot of water and spending a lot of time cleaning bottles and nipples in the sink. This sanitizer certainly saves both. Also, I did not want a microwavable sanitizer given the opinion that in general, plastic food containers should not be microwaved.

First, it is a very simple-to-use product and only requires 2/3 cup of water for each cycle. Each cycle lasts for about 12 minutes and automatically shuts off afterwards. It also fits my baby's Breastflow bottles which are slightly wider than other styles. Like another reviewer said, however, you do need to wipe the base out every 2-3 cycles because of water deposits at the bottom. Fortunately, I find that a little fresh water, a quick emptying of the base, and a wipe down does the trick. In addition, it measures about 9" wide by 14" tall, and you will need some room to pull the sanitizer out from under any cabinets when in use to accommodate the small steam vent at the top.

Finally, I should note that this is the second one I received from Amazon. The power button on the first one did not work correctly and was giving off a slight burnt smell right out of the box. Amazon took it back of course and sent a new one. Also, this product comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Even if quality may be a problem, I believe I will definitely have gotten my money's worth should it fail after the 1-year warranty period.

This is our first sterilizer, saw good reviews for this on ToysRUs site (they sell it as FAO Schwartz brand). It fits our Dr Browns wide and narrow bottles and all parts well. It's also priced right compared to some other brands. Easy to use. No complains at all.

My ma bought me this, and although it says it fits all shapes and sizes of bottles, it doesn't. I have Tommy Tippee bottles which are wide and they don't come close to fitting in this. I'm in the process of returning it now.

OXO Tot Two-Tier Turntable, White/Green

OXO Tot Two-Tier Turntable, White/GreenRats! ...this turntable has the same elegant effortless quality spin of the single tier OXO turntable (which I highly recommend) but the center pillar is so thick that it not only prevents storing something in the center, but also cuts into the space of the outer part, so you can't fit in a stout jar. With the upper tiers split in half, their angled corners are very limiting regarding what fits on them. I have many OXO items that I love, and applaud their efforts to build a better mousetrap, but although not shoddy, this design seems awkward and impractical. I wish OXO would make a conventional style 2-tier turntable (11 inch, please), combining their smooth rolling base design with conventional exterior pillars. I had to return this and order an old-style 2-tier turntable (posts on the outside).

good idea but much to small to work for anything in your kitchen. if you are a real cook then you will be using more bottles of oils, vinegar, spices etc then this teeny thing will ever accommodate.

I bought this turntable for my mother and she loves it. She has other turntables, but nothing that spins as effortlessly as the OXO. The color is great and the concept of the adjustable tier level is ingenious. My mother says the only drawback is that she can't put as many bottles because of the divider. Overall it is a very good product.

I love the vibrant lime green color on this product. The shelf positioning is a great option and looks unique in the middle of my kitchen table. Three tier display is awesome for all your table needs and this comes in the black trim as well.

We bought one of these for our spice cupboard and it worked so well that we bought a second. The split level is good for variable heights of spice bottles, but it does come at a cost that the divider between the two splits means that not as many bottles can fit on the top, especially if they're larger bottles.

Baby Jogger Child Tray

Baby Jogger Child TrayWe've had the Baby Jogger City Mini stroller for almost a year now and we've used several of the attachments with it and so far this one seems to be a great addition for our daughter.

We are able to attach toys to the side closest to her with the plastic hooks that seem to come with so many baby/toddler toys. She also is able to grasp the tray and pull herself forward to look around and see more than when she is leaning back in the chair.

We would recommend this attachment for this stroller as it is very easy to use and adds functionality. Also, there is no need to remove this bar when collapsing the stroller since it doesn't impede the folding mechanism.

I love it! At first I thought the whole tray had to come off to load the kid and to fold it. No way! One side can be removed using a very easy button mechanism that wont hurt fingers while the other side has a hinge that allows the tray to swing out to let your child out of the seat! Its so easy my 3 year old can snap herself in! Great! Plus, the stroller folds with the tray in place. The tray should be removed when storing in tight places like the back of the car, but the tray fits in the storage pocket. It also cleans up easily, the whole thing can be removed and taken into the kitchen, and is great for those long walks when you must have snacks. All in all a great purchase and I highly recommend it!

just returned the tray as it does not work with either my tall toddler (he can't sit forward like he likesthis gets in the way) or for my 6 month old (way too high, sits at her forhead!!!). the belly bar works PERFECT, i've had it since my toddler was 9 months old, he likes to sit up and look around so this is a great stop for him to pull himself up on or just hold on for fun :) trust me, the tray is just too high/close to the seat to be functional at all :(

I was fully prepared to return this product if it was anywhere near as bad as many reviews suggested. Fortunately, it is PERFECT with our new (2012 model) City Mini GT. I personally wish that these accessories came with the base stroller, given it's price, but we're finally seeing the value of both the stroller and this accessory.

Reviewers that didn't like it:

a)For our stroller there are two sets of 'holes' on the side rails, one intended for the canopy and a lower pair that come with plastic plugs (in case you don't want to use the tray or roll-bar). Perhaps people either used the upper holes (which are set at a different angle), or perhaps prior models placed the holes differently.

b)You don't need to take the entire tray on-off every time simply push the release on the right side and the tray has a hinge on the left that will allow it to open one-handed and stay attached.

It's definitely worth the money to get this for your Baby Jogger. Without it, your child must sit with a cold drink in his/her lap which gets very cold. My only downside is that it sits high compared to the height of the child in the stroller. It would be hard for a small child to use on his/her own. However, my 2-year-old uses it just fine and it was a good purchase.
