Animal Snack Containers ~ 2 Cups with Lids and a Spoon (Orange)
Love these containers. My friend gave me several and I didnt know what to do with them and then realized they are the perfect size for organizing snacks for the kiddos in the fridge. I was surprised at the price though...Luckily I have found them at 1/5 of the price at a local store...No waiting on shipping :)
Munchkin Snack Tower
This is a nice product, but the compartments are very tiny. Barely holds enough snacks for my 21 month old. Great concept, just wish the compartments were a little bigger.
Melissa & Doug Scootin' Turtle Mealtime Set
My son is obsessed with turtles so when I saw this I knew we had to get it! It hasn't disappointed yet. My son loves to eat from his turtle plate and he carries his snacks around in his bowl. We haven't used the cup yet, as we still need sippy cups so that we don't spill everywhere. Like most Melissa and Doug products, this seems to be very well made. I would highly recommend this for any turtle loving kid!

My son loves this set so much! He has learned to eat with the fork and spoon and drink from the cup due to this excitement over this product! I love it and would recommend it to anyone who asked for a good dinner ware recommendation! The only problem I have with it is the placemat starts to get very scratched up after only a few uses so it does not look as nice as it used to but it is the part of the product I was worried least about. The Melissa & Doug products yet again meet or exceed my expectations =)Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Scootin' Turtle Mealtime Set Here

Sugar Booger Feeding Collection Jumbo Floor Mat
If you're trying to decide the one made by mimi the sardine or this one made by sugar booger, I would highly recommend this one. The mimi one is too thin while this one is substantial. The mimi one is rectangular while this one is square, but they are essentially the same size. The mimi one probably only gets sold because buying online, you can't really see what it will look like. It looks like someone just cut a piece of fabric with no finished edging. This one by sugar booger has a finished edging and is heavy enough that it will not roll. I wish someone had compared the two for me so that I would not have wasted money on the mimi one. This one by sugar booger is totally worth it.
The care instructions say you can wash it in a washing machine and hang to dry, but DON'T do it! The coating and the cloth backing have separated in places all over the mat, so the coating appears to be all bubbly, and it looks really cheap. The mat won't lay flat anymore, and has a tendency to curl along the edges. I was hoping this would be with us for years and we'd use it under a craft table down the road, but I doubt it will last that long.
It's also not especially "jumbo."

Upon ordering I knew this would take a few months before I would get it but because I was at the point of having to replace the generic splat mat (the kind you find at the baby are us store) for the 3rd time I was willing to wait and invest a little more money into something thicker, durable, washable and overall nicer.The mat arrived much sooner than promised and it's 100 times better quality than the generic mats. Since it's not thin and massive in size I can easily take a disinfectant wipe to the mat and clean it off quickly without having to deal with the wrinkles and static of the thinner mats. We've taken this to my in law's house where we were able to clean up after my daughter super quick and without any guilt of avocado stains on the rug. (bonus) I've also used this as a drawing mat while at my IL's and again the fact that it keeps my daughter busy and their carpets clean makes this the best product E.V.E.R.!!!
The travel bag is also really handy and a total bonus to an already great product. I love the colors and the pattern to the ladybug mat, it blends nicely under the highchair without making our kitchen look like a daycare. :)

I recently purchased my second jumbo floor mat by Sugar Booger. My first one was a baby shower gift and I loved it. The quality was amazing and it was used daily under our kids table. After a few years, it needed to be replaced from so much wear and tear. I was excited to get my new mat, and had always highly recommended this product to moms. I was sooo disappointed to see that the quality had decreased on this item. It is a much thinner material that is just awful under our kids table. It is always bunching up and just isn't of the quality as our first mat from several years ago. I wish I could return this!! I hope Sugar Booger rethinks this new CHEAPER design. It is not an item I would recommend. Please bring back the old QUALITY design you used to make.Want Sugar Booger Feeding Collection Jumbo Floor Mat Discount?
Mat is cool, well designed and functional super cute graphics that my son loved, but it seemed toxic-y and I couldn't seem to find what it was made of of the package or outer tag. So I emailed the company, asking if it was PVC and wanted to know about the fabric. They said it was "non toxic" and "lead free" according to US and Canada standards. She didn't mention PVC specifically so assumed was fine. Only today I noticed a smaller tag, listing that it is in fact 18% PVC. Company really isn't transparent about this and while some parents might not mind the PVC content, I certainly prefer to avoid PVC for obvious reasons.Save 22% Off
Munchkin 3 Count Stay Put Suction Bowl
I bought these bowls expecting them to end the food-dumping behavior that so many are complaining about. The reviews are correct they won't help with that. The suction is not strong enough. But what they are good for is helping a child who is learning to self-feed master spoon-related skill without having to worry about the bowl moving around. They're really good when your child is self-feeding cold cereal, applesauce, oatmeal, etc. A smart buy, but will come in handy a little later than you might think.One more thing the suction is greatly improved if you lick the bottom of the bowl before you stick it to the table. Unfortunately this lead to a period when my son felt it was customary to lick things before putting them on the table, but this passed quickly.
I like these bowls because: 1) the lids stay on real well, 2) they are colorful and the perfect size for taking food places 3) When the suction cup first takes hold, it does a good job 4) they wash up nicely, I've even put them in the dishwasher on heated dry.
My baby is now 15 months old, and very strong. But I've noticed the suction cup dishes really only work if you constantly push down on the bowl to keep them there. This draws attention to our efforts, and curious why we're pushing down so often, the baby pulls extra hard on the sides to get it to come up. Unfortunately for me, but much to her satisfaction, when the suction gives way, the great amount of force which is necessary to get the bowl off has so much momentum behind it, that the bowl's contents really go flying.
What I don't like about these bowls: 1) mine only has 1 suction base, and I don't know how a permanent base affects washability 2) the suction is not long lasting enough to get through a meal which means 3) if your baby wants it off and really pulls, it WILL go flying, rather, the contents will go flying, because the handles are quite nice with non slip material on it for gripping. 4) the shape has real deep, steep sides which make it difficult for the baby to see what's at the bottom, food can "hide" on the sides, and the sides make it difficult to pin food into her spoon. 5) the base is narrow compared to the top, and it makes it tip real easily.
I would ask for these again, and in a way I'm glad my suction cup is non permanent, so that I can use them as bowls to put food in, not put on her tray. As for finding the ultimate suction bowl, I'm really beginning to think that teaching her to leave a non suction dish on the tray/table is my best option. I'm headed to a baby store to do more homework on the Baby Bjorn dish! Hope this helps!
Buy Munchkin 3 Count Stay Put Suction Bowl Now
I got these when my son was 12 months old and already a strong little guy who enjoyed dumping his bowls of food onto his high chair tray. Trying to outsmart him, I purchased these hoping to keep some food in a bowl. Much to my disappointment, they only stick to the formica countertops well. The littlest one doesn't even stick to that. None of them stays on my son's plastic high chair tray for more than a second or two.On the upside, the lids are secure once shut all the way (which can take a little work), so they make great storage for on-the-go finger foods in the diaper bag...I haven't had one leak yet, and I put things like applesauce in them to test them. Not a total waste of money, now that I found this alternate use. They wash well, without any noticeable breakdown of the plastic, on the top rack of the dishwasher.

I was very excited to get these bowls in the mail because they are so cute, and the concept of having a suction bowl was (and is) appealing to me. My son loved the bowl right away, as he was able to reach into the bowl for some puffs to feed himself instead of having to push the puffs around the table until he could finally grab one in his fingers. I'd also like to add that he ate tofu cubes for the first time out of this bowl and loved them! However, I'm disappointed because the suction on the bowl does not work for more than a few seconds. I'm constantly pushing the bowl back down, which is disruptive to his meal. Despite some of happy memories I've had with this bowl, I would not recommend buying these bowls because as 'suction bowls' they do not serve their purpose.Want Munchkin 3 Count Stay Put Suction Bowl Discount?
The suction on these bowls is so weak that the baby pulled it off the highchair and dumped the contents in a few seconds flat. They do come in lovely colors, though.Save 25% Off

Earth's Best Organic Strained, 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12)
This one is loaded with spinach, and that's what I wanted for my twin 10-month olds. It is not as dense as I expected or wanted evidently because they added enough water to make it more liquidly. Nevertheless, Earth's Best made it sufficiently tasty by adding carrots. That seems to be their technique to make what would otherwise not be popular with babies tasty enough. It already has brown rice so I don't think there's a strong incentive to add rice cereal to it, although one certainly could.Of all the Earth's Best flavor brands, I believe this is the darkest natural green one. I have this by subscription and am glad for it. My babies like it. They are 10-months old; they might not have liked it some months ago.
Ingredients per the label: Water, organic spinach, organic potatoes, organic carrots, organic barley flour, organic brown rice.
This has 50 calories, 10% protein, 50% vitamin A, 15% vitamin C, 2% calcium and 4% iron. I've been informed that the percentage of daily needs met is based on an adult.

I subscribe to this 4 oz. carrot 12-pack.Both our twin babies love this one with carrots as we discovered with the vegetable variety pack. Other parents have told me their babies like carrots so this one is likely to be a winner.
I've tried many Earth's Best baby food in the jars products on my babies. They like all of them with only a couple exceptions. I've discovered they're not fond of peas or onions, but I've also discovered that as they get older they will eat more types of foods. If you get something your baby doesn't like, maybe you can keep it on hand for when your baby is a few months older and try again.
Several other varieties of Earth's Best contain carrots as one of the major ingredients even if they go by other names. I think this is to make them sweet so babies will like them more.
The ingredients are simply organic carrots and water. One 4-ounce jar (not this 2.5 ounce jar) has 40 calories, and daily value: 4% protein, 150% vitamin A and 4% calcium (that's all of it; no iron for example).
Compared to other Earth Best varieties, this has very little calories but is very high in vitamin A. I'm informed that the daily intake percentage is based on an adult.

I love that there are no chunks of spinach in this baby food, i can feed it to my baby without worrying about that. It's great to be able to feed him a superfood that he finds tasty. I like to put a bit of this in with all of his meals so he is always eating a green veggie.Want Earth's Best Organic Strained, 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) Discount?
Who would've thought a baby would love spinach? Mine certainly does! I bought it on a whim because I haven't seen spinach flavoring in any other brands at the grocery store. Now we keep it stocked. I only taste the spinach, not the potatoes. Great food. It's texture is the same as other 2nd baby foods.
Infantino Compact 2-in-1 Shopping Cart Cover
My son is >97th%ile in height and weight for his age 6.5 months, but he's still not quite sitting up on his own yet. So I wanted to get a cart cover to help support him, because lifting his carrier seat has gotten so heavy and we're needing to size up to one of the toddler seats already. Previously, we have put the carrier seat into the shopping cart (not on the seat part, because of safety concerns), but that leaves very little room for groceries. But these shopping cart covers are ridiculously priced and some of the patterns are awful. I'm not a germaphobe, but have to admit that the idea of him teething on the shopping cart rail is a little unsettling--plus the thought that various raw meats, etc. in this part of the cart. This one was a good price, so I figured no loss if it didn't work. But it's great. It's just enough support for him (though I still keep my hands nearby at all times for when he falls to the side and can't quite get back up on his own). It's easy to put on with one hand while carrying him in the other. And this pattern is a lot cuter in person than it looked in the picture. So I would recommend this.

Best One I've Tried So FarI had just been using a cart seat cover made by Jeep, it was way too "fluffy", had too much material, hard to figure out what end was what. This was our replacement in an attempt to salvage our sanity.
Pros:
1. Elastic lined, very obvious what side is up versus down, what end goes to the front of the cart versus the back. Believe it or not, this is not always so obvious on other brands! The last thing you want to be doing in a Target Parking Lot is holding a skwaking baby with one hand and flapping a cover around in the other trying to "origami" the cover to fit on the cart!
2. Side attachements are velcro, not string tie. That right, I was dealing with a cover requiring STRING TIES to secure. As if I'm not already spending enough time putting the cover on, I don't need to tie it in place on top of that! This Infantino cover has velcro swatches on the sides, you can Press together to clamp the sides in place, or if you are pressed for time, don't worry about it, I've not noticed any shifting or safety issues leaving the velcro unclamped, but I don't have a very squirmy baby.
3. If you get Poop on the brown cover it's all good. Just kidding, no one has ever pooped on my cover. Or have they?
4. Fabric loops for additional toys. Very nice. But my baby's favorite thing to do in this seat is play with the orange ring that comes with the cover, all the toys I bring are chopped liver in comparison and are jetisoned from the cart. All I can think of is the "novelty" of the orange ring facinates her, she only sees it when she's in the cover.
Cons:
There is only one con, and since I have this problem with every seat cover, I won't deduct a star.
I wish, WISH someone would think of putting hand slits on the part of the cover that goes over the push bar of a shopping cart, so you could really wrap your hands around that bar and shop away with good control. Maybe it's just me.
----Just a Note---
This is how I use the lap belt. Put the lap belt through one opening of the cover, string it around the back, around a few metal wires of the cart seat, then back in through the other opening in the cover. This secures your baby to the frame of the shopping cart, not just to the fabric seat. I would highly recommend this. Please do not secure your child ONLY TO THE FABRIC COVER with the lap belt, I have seen a child launch themselves forward and almost come out of the cart head first taking the fabric cover with them. (This is a general statement about covers, not specific to just Infantino).

Excellent cart cover. I chose this one because it is gender neutral for future children. It fits every cart I've tried (Winco, Fred Meyer, Costco, Walmart). I like that it protects both me and baby from the handle germs. It also fits on every restaurant high-chair I've tried it on. It is easy to install on the cart (20 seconds or less). When not in use, it stuffs itself into its own pouch, but I prefered to keep the clear zip pouch it came in and stuff it in there so that it doesn't get dirty in the back of my car.The teether ring is convenient and I attach other toys to it that have detachable rings.
The seatbelt does not attach or anchor itself to anything but the fabric so you do have to keep close to baby if you're baby is feeling wiggly (something I think parents do anyway in grocery stores).
My daughter used to hate shopping when she was stuck in her car seat, but now I never leave her at home for errand running because she is so happy riding around with me. By happy, I mean she laughs, flaps her arms, coos and bounces up and down when we are moving. This item has made us BOTH more mobile for errands.
