Buddy Fruits Pure Blended Apple & Strawberry 3.2 Oz Fruit to Go - 12 Packs

Buddy Fruits Pure Blended Apple & Strawberry 3.2 Oz Fruit to Go - 12 PacksMy nearby Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market had a sale on Buddy Fruits. I used to buy these things for our baby and I always liked them. They're a blended applesauce with some other type of fruit, in this case Strawberry. You just take the top off. squeeze the little bag and suck on the open end while squeezing a little and the delicious applesauce blend is in your mouth. Real easy. Try them under difficult circumstances as while driving. Real handy. Very tasty. It's a quick and easy way to get one of your daily servings of fruit.

Earth's Best Organic 2nd Pears & Raspberries 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12)

Earth's Best Organic 2nd Pears & Raspberries 4 Ounce JarsI tried this for my 6 month old, who had a bad reaction apparently to the raspberries, as he had been introduced to pears prior to that. My pediatrician chastised me and said that berries of any kind shouldn't be introducted to infants until they are at least a year old. We love Earth's Best baby foods, but now I know to do extra research and not assume that just because the label says "6 months and up" doesn't make it okay!

I bought this for my 3 year old who is a very selective (aka picky) eater so he gets more fruit in his diet. He loves it along with me and my 5 year old. =)

mmmm. Feeding my children Earth's Best baby food really makes me feel like I'm giving the best to my kids.

It tastes good, looks good, and is organic. Who could ask for more?

Normally I make and cook everything myself for my babies, ( I have 2 and a 3rd on the way) but I have learned to

strongly DISLIKE preparing food with raspberries. Too much of my time is spent straining the seeds, so I did some math and the time I

waste doing all the work, I earn back time with my girls by conveniently purchasing Pears & Raspberries.

Earth's Best Pears & Raspberries are a staple in my cupboard.

My nine month old LOVES this baby food!!! She devours the entire jar every time it's offered to her! With other foods I'm lucky if she finishes half a jar. This past week she wasn't feeling very well and had little appetite. She would drink a little bit of formula and her juice but turned her nose at any type of food that was offered to her. Seeing as this is her favorite I thought she would eat a little bit if I offered it to her but she ate the entire jar in one sitting! I'm very impressed with Earth's Best as well as Amazon customer service. One package of baby food that I ordered arrived with a broken jar and all it took was an email to Amazon and my money was refunded! Another food my daugher really enjoys is the Sweet Potato Cinnamon. She loves sweet potatoes and I like that she's getting the added benefits from the cinnamon. I will continue to purchase Earth's Best, especially pears and raspberries, from Amazon!

green sprouts Insulated Snack Bag

green sprouts Insulated Snack Bag, GreenThis is the second bag I've purchased and we just love them! We use it for our Kindergartner's snack bag. It fits a juice box and/or milk and then a sandwich bag sized snack or small bag of chips. I would rate 5 stars but it is a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Perfect snack size for my first grader. Fits a juice box and a small snack:) and doesn't take up a lot of room in her backpack.

The insulated inside, cloth outside that is easy to clean, and the absolutely unique strap with a BUCKLE that can attach to any part of your stroller (saving basket & handle space) is AWESOME!!! Removable dividers with velcro and a separate mesh zipper pouch inside the lid for your napkin, snack or utensils! A+++++ compared to other brands :)

This is the perfect thing to keep our little one's food contained when we're on-the-go. She takes it to school and it's the perfect size. I especially love the little place to put the ice pack, and the mesh pocket on the top is a nice feature--we put those little Plum Dispensing Spoon packs in it and it fits perfectly. Lots of nice details--they really thought this through.

Great little snack bag. Can fit a boxed milk, banana, & chips and has a mesh pocket for spoons or utensils. Easy for my 4 yr old to open/close.

Mother-Ease Cloth Diaper Snap In Liner (Single)

Mother-Ease Cloth Diaper Snap In LinerUnfortunately, as much as I wanted to like these liners, due to an exceptional staff (when I called with question when first I received them) and a great price, I don't like them at all. I have tried 3 different brands on cloth diapers, all with the same cover and liner mechanism. And these just don't cut it. At all. Gave them 2 stars for being super thin and super soft, but they are not absorbent! Please improve these!!!

I enjoy the brand Motherease for my cloth diapering needs, and this product never fails to absorb liquid and keep from leaking through.

Buy Mother-Ease Cloth Diaper Snap In Liner (Single) Now

Very thin and doesn't absorb much. If you're going to be using these diapers, you're going to have to change the baby immediately anyway, so these are just unnecessary. I wouldn't buy again.

Prince Lionheart On-the-Go Bottle Warmer

Prince Lionheart On-the-Go Bottle WarmerThis item is not instant at all. I usually start a bottle warmimg about 30 min b4 my sons feeding time.

Also you have to be careful not to accidently activate it because you can only use it once. Then you have to boil it for 20 mins. to re-activate it.

It's a good back-up. the best car warmer is the "fast warmer" by the first years. It's the best.

Once you understand how they work, you can use them quite effectively. I bought two of the Lionhearts for flying cross-country (very limited formula-warming options) with my 7 mo old. I scoured the Web for reviews and found they were 50-50, for/against; decided to give them a try. No, they don't heat a bottle from refrigerator-cold. Yes, from room temperature (such as the sealed, 6 oz. travel bottles of Enfamil that I brought) in about 20 minutes. For car travel, the best system I've found is to insert an already-warm bottle in the UN-activated sleeve; when the bottles are starting to cool, activate the crystals to keep the bottle warm for up to 3 more hours longer if you keep the warmer itself bundled up in something. Right when you get to your destination, boil down the crystal-filled wraps again so they're ready to go next time. It's really no big deal. It's somewhat easy to trigger the chemicals by accident, so just handle the warmers gently. All in all, these work quite well for what they are -especially in the absence of ANTHING ELSE out there. Note the zipper doesn't 'quite' go over the top of Dr. Brown's bottle caps.

I got it out of the package and followed the instructions but it didn't even warm my bottle. Consequently now i use it as a bottle carrier but thats it.

Read Best Reviews of Prince Lionheart On-the-Go Bottle Warmer Here

This gets the bottle very nice and warm without being too hot for my baby. It works well each and every time if you know what to expect. Here's what to expect1. It will take 30min so plan ahead. 2. It will keep it warm for up to 3 hours in the sleeve so you have some leeway on when to click it hot (click the button early!) 3. If you drop it or it is in a bag getting bounced around, it might click on accidentally. It's not the end of the world because it will keep the bottle warm until the baby is hungry. 4. You have to boil it in hot water for 15 min each time after you use it to reset it.

I have the Dex Grab and Go and this one. The advantage of this one is that there a handle on this with velcro that keeps the handle together so you can hang it on the stroller or hold it easily. The Dex cover is more malleable and I prefer that one but my nanny prefers this cover. The heating mechanism is a different shape too. This one has a circular part that goes under the bottle too but yet it is not as long as the Dex. All in all, the heating mechanism on this and the Dex one works about the same.

After reading all the previous reviews I figured I better get on here and say something. If you couldn't get the warmer to warm your bottle you are OBVIOUSLY doing something wrong. I have had this warmer since 2008 and am now using it on my 2nd baby. It still works well and I am planning on getting another one. Its great if you can't go to the car or run water over the bottle. It does take some time so don't turn it on right when the baby needs the bottle...plan ahead a little. It won't hurt the milk to have it warm for an extra 30 min before the baby needs it. This product works great and I am able to boil it and reset it every time. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a warmer they can use anywhere and anytime.

Boon Pulp Silicone Feeder

Boon Pulp Silicone Feeder,Blue/GreenThe boon pulp is great I used other similar products made of mesh but they were to hard to open and by the time you had them opened your baby didn't want them and they were really hard to clean and after a while they started to smell. But over al they were a good idea just bad execution of the product. Boon's pulp is great, my daughter and I love it!

I wanted to love this, but I've only used it a handful of times. Although I've read the silicone feeders are so much easier to clean than the mesh ones, I have a hard time cleaning this one. Some foods clean easier than others, but almost every time I take it out of the dish washer I still have to hand wash it including using a tiny brush to get the food out of the holes. I know its not my dishwasher b/c it does a great job with everything else. Needless to say, it sits in a drawer mostly. I also feel like the mouth piece is a little big for my daughters mouth even at 8 months.

I LOVE Boon and I have a lot of their products and am very happy with them, BUT NOT THIS ONE! The first time we used it, my 1 year old was able to open it in less than 2 minutes. I tried again and she did it again. She almost chocked by getting a hold of the ice I had put in it!! This is not a safe product.

Came across this and several other silicone feeders when looking for a solution to the mesh food feeders widely available (Munchkin 2 Pack Fresh Food Feeder, Colors May Vary), which to me anyway, were impossible to clean and which I considered disposable. I did order several silicone feeders including:

Boon Pulp Silicone Feeder,Blue/Orange

[Award Winning] Kidsme Food Feeder (Large size)

Clevamama Clevafeed

I really do like the Boon silicone feeder, the ergonomic handle is easy for my baby to grasp, and the holes are big enough that whatever you put in there doesn't actually have to be pureed. I usually put a strawberry or banana ("slippery" foods that my 11 month old can't pick up), and he will chew on it for a few hours.

I like the rounder shape better than the other feeders, particularly the Kids me feeder, which is much longer and thinner.

Clean up is easy, just rinse and dry, and the snap on/off silicone part is fantastic.

Would buy again.

This hardly holds a tiny slice or piece of food and just really isn't that great of an item. Though not as easy to clean the mesh feeders are way better.

Organic Cotton Bassinet Mattress Pads

Naturepedic Organic Cotton Bassinet PadSince mattresses are so close to our babies, I wanted a mattress that would be safe (no pvc, other bad chemicals). This perfectly fit our needs. Just make sure you get sheets that fit properly. Some were a bit too tight and would cause the mattress to bow.

I ordered this to replace the foam mattress pad that came with my bassinet (Contours Classique). I felt the foam pad is not good enough for my baby and since baby sleeps on it most of the day, I didn't mind paying extra for a nice mattress. It is not like a real bed more like a pad but it is organic and more firm and less flimsy than the foam pad. No smell like some other reviews for the product line. I had also purchased a full size Crib mattress and love it too. This is waterproof so I didn't need to buy a cover for it...just a standard fitted sheet.

This "natural" mattress smells like latex. So much so that when we picked our child up the next morning we wondered who had a box of condoms in the room. Seriously. It smells horrible, and I cannot see how that much odor would be good for a baby.

I would've given it five stars except that it's so expensive compared to other cradle mattresses and the photo does not match the product (photo shows a 2" mattress but it's 1.5" thick).

Very shortly after our baby started sleeping in the bassinet (about 7lbs 7oz) a depression began to develop where he slept. The indentation became so bad over the following weeks, that he was uncomfortable and wouldn't sleep there anymore we had to move him to the crib at two months (about a month sooner than we would have liked), but he is much more comfortable now. I sent the mattress back as defective. The mattress that we replaced was at least 13 years old and had been through at least two babies had no indentations whatsoever. No mattress (for baby or adult) should wear so poorly after only a few weeks.

Green Eats Tabletop Set

Green Eats Tabletop SetI recently decided to junk of all our melamine kids dishes due to the fact I'm just not sure they are safe. I bought four of these sets for my two kids. They own the play dishes and other toys, so I already knew I loved the company (great customer service), the fact that they are made from recycled milk jugs, and the bright colors. I have yet to buy anything from them I'm not completely thrilled with.

That being said, these are no exception. The plastic is thick and very sturdy. You can't bend it. The colors are super bright and cheerful. They look adorable stacked in the cabinet. They hold up very well in the dishwasher, even on the bottom. No warping, fading, etc. and everything comes out spotless. Plus, they are the perfect size for kids.

I cannot find anything negative to say. A week after I bought the first four sets, I came back and bought two more. Next I'm going to buy the divided plates for my youngest.

Please note: these are not microwave safe, but you shouldn't microwave plastic anyway, so it really doesn't matter in my opinion.

I purchased this set to replace smaller plastic tableware I use when my grandchildren visit. This is just one great product from a US company that has many. Made in the USA from recycled milk jugs and in environment friendly packaging ... 5 Star all the way. The dishes are great and their story gives my three granddaughters and me a chance to discuss Earth Friendly and US worker friendly choices! I am ordering more today ... need another set of dishes for each ...for times when they are here for multiple meals w/o using dishwasher in between.

I really like this set, except for the fact that they are not microwave safe. I make oatmeal for my daughter using the microwave every morning and I intended to use the bowl for this purpose.

Besides that I really like these items, in fact I just ordered more of the cups.

Love the colors and how heavy feeling the pieces are. Still light enough for him to pick up, but not flimsy. Also love that they go into the dishwasher.

I like that this company is making safer plastic dinnerware for children. It is a step up. However, no one is thinking about what the plastic is made out of aside from BPA, phthalates, melamine, PVC, or other harmful synthetics. These are just some that have been brought out into the open, there are likely more that haven't been tested yet. There is one obvious problem with this plastic that everyone is overlooking (the rage is all about BPA mainly right now), and that is the fact that the main ingredient to make this plastic is petroleum. I'm not convinced that these are "green" dishes being that #2 plastic does not break down in the environment and petroleum...well I can't imagine eating food off of solidified/modified petroleum. Not to mention the other synthetics that have yet to be mentioned. #2 plastic is considered one of the safest plastics, but considered doesn't mean guaranteed safe. There are better options out there (especially for the current high price of these!). Stainless steel and tempered glass dinnerware for kids are alternatives to plastic. Stainless steel might be a better bet for very young children since even tempered glass can break if impacted hard enough. Plastic is plastic, some are better than others, but all plastic has its hazards. Let's face it, we wouldn't be looking at "Green Eats" dishware if we weren't concerned about what our children are eating off of.

OXO Tot Flip-Top Snack Cup

OXO Tot Flip-Top Snack Cup, Green, 7 OunceCustomer review from the Amazon Vine Program As a mom of four children ages 8 down to 10 months, I can't get out the door without bringing some type of snack or drink in my bag. I do not use a traditional diaper bag because they are just too big. I just use my purse, but lately I find that my little baggies of pretzels or Cheerios become dust when sloshed around with my wallet, sun glass case, keys, etc... This snack cup is great. It keeps the snacks fresh and intact while not taking up much space in my purse. The snack cup is a nice size-about the size of a small orange (I'm so scientific in my measurements). It has a flip top and so far it has not come open while sloshing around in the bottom of my bag. There are grips on the side if you decide to have your little one hold it him/herself and eat. I haven't used it in that manner so I cannot comment on how well it works. All in all, I think this is a worthy investment. I don't many gimmicky items gears towards moms and kids, but this one was a practical investment.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I ended up using this great little container on our trip to Maine this summer. It was perfect for snack-sized portions in the car. Snap lid..easy grip and a fun color. Fit into my tote bag nicely as well. I think it would be great for anyone's lunch bag--old or young. Holds a perfect 5 ounce size (good for dieters!) Held up great in the dishwasher. I'm interested in other sizes/colors of this container!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Hold baby in one hand, open the cup with a squeeze of your other hand, flip the lid up with a single finger. It's that easy.

The cup hold a nice amount for a young child to snack on, and it's a good size for a little person to hold and to put his or her fingers in to get his or her own snacks. I like the easy grip sides. Washes up easily.

Very nice product, would also work in an adult's lunchbox, it's the right size for something like cherry tomatoes, or diced up fruit salad you don't want making the other food soggy.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a convenience, easy-to-wash handy little snack cup for little kids. It works well for our daughter, who's 15 months old. The top lid, to which the flip-top is built in, is not removable, but it's easy enough to wash it in the dishwasher top rack. The flip-top latches on securely to avoid accidental spillage, but is not so secure that my daughter can't open it by herself (which, unfortunately, usually ends in the contents flying all over the place, as she's not yet coordinated--or big--enough to hold on to the cup with one hand while opening it with the other).

Easy to clean, nice size, convenient--can't ask for much more from a snack cup!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We've been caring for a lot of youngsters lately as grandparents/foster parents/Safe Family, so this cup is a most welcome addition to our household.

As promised, it is handy to stuff in a cup holder (though it's a big big for the smaller of the two in our Prius.) No sharp edges. Nothing to fall off or get lost. Easy for little (or big or arthritic) hands to operate. Handy non-slip indented sides for holding. Clear sides to keep track of remaining contents. A simple flip top opening large enough to allow easy access to Goldfish snacks etc. Though plastic, it is BPA/PVC/Phthalate free (labeled 01 PET for recycling.) It's labeled for use by tots age 1+, but not for use in a microwave. No guidance is offered regarding dishwashers. The orange color is currently popular and matches other Oxo products for tots.

Our one fail was when I tossed the cup off our kitchen counter to a tile floor -Goldfish snacks everywhere! Dropping the cup 3 feet onto a wood floor retained all contents easily.

There's only possible improvement we'd suggest -an attachment point for a tether, to limit travel when dropped or tossed. (Perhaps the cup is safer without that, but we'd still appreciate the option.)

Overall, a very good product, and likely a new permanent resident of our car and jogging stroller.
