Great quality, not too hot when baby is sleeping, and nice designs. There are many more options on the market now, but Grobag is still one of my favourites.

]]> Comment on Kangaroo Towel by Small Made Simple by 3bees http://thebabyscoop.com/products/baby-and-bath-accessories/small-made-simple-kangaroo-towel/comment-page-1/#comment-4752 3bees Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:11:57 +0000 http://thebabyscoop.com/products/other/small-made-simple-kangaroo-towel#comment-4752 This is a great product idea and i received one as a gift when my son was born. Definitely helps keep you dry when bathing baby, and the hood is a nice feature. I didn't find the terry towel fabric as thick as I would have liked.

]]> Comment on Bumbo Baby Seat by 3bees http://thebabyscoop.com/products/high-chairs-boosters/the-bumbo-seat/comment-page-1/#comment-4630 3bees Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:47:17 +0000 http://thebabyscoop.com/products/high-chairs-boosters/the-bumbo-seat#comment-4630 I’ll preface this review by saying that the Bumbo is definitely not for all babies, but it was a compete lifesaver for us. We took it almost everywhere with us. Our little guy wasn’t overly chubby, so he fit into it perfectly and it supported him when he had just learned to sit up. I love how portable it is and easy to clean. We would put it on the floor and our son would sit happily playing with his toys. We were quite sad when he outgrew it. Would be great if they had different sizes, perhaps one for older kids. I’ll preface this review by saying that the Bumbo is definitely not for all babies, but it was a compete lifesaver for us.

]]> Comment on Tegu Magnetic Wooden Building Blocks by 3bees http://thebabyscoop.com/products/baby-toys/tegu-magnetic-wooden-building-blocks/comment-page-1/#comment-4626 3bees Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:21:48 +0000 http://thebabyscoop.com/?p=15089#comment-4626 My son received these as a gift for christmas and has has a great time playing with them. The wood is beautiful and soft and we had no worries about him putting them in his mouth (where everything seems to end up). My son gets frustrated easily, so usually if we end up making something and it falls...he ends up in tears. The Tegu blocks have magnets so they stay together. Which is good, especially if you have spent 30 minutes making a tower. They have a great selection and some blocks come in colours. They were probably the best gift he received.

I am not sure I have a friend who is as much herself as you are — that you purchased, nay, LOVED AND ALLOWED YOURSELF, to purchase baby things that charmed you before you had a child, filled with hope for the future, hooked by the eccentric, the singular beauty of a garment or a thing, I can't even find the right way to express how much this is you: How you move through the world and spot just the right thing for its own value, not because it's in a magazine or has a designer label, but because it stands out to your heart's exquisite vision, and then your utter self-allow to pick it up and put it into your home, into your world, where it shines . . . I loved the reflections on your younger self, how sweet you were to yourself about what you see as naïve (but what I see as charmed and charming). This piece was like a painting — it showed everything and resolved nothing. It just let it be there for people to see the complexity of your soul, your relationship to beauty, to your dreams of having children, to your experience of being a mum, to all of it. Thank you so much for sharing! Liz Brilliant!

]]> Comment on DwellStudio for Target by 3bees http://thebabyscoop.com/editors-top-10-lists/top-10-baby-shower-gifts/dwellstudio-for-target-crib-bedding/comment-page-1/#comment-4555 3bees Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:00:12 +0000 http://thebabyscoop.com/products/other/dwellstudio-for-target-crib-bedding#comment-4555 I do like the dwell line of bedding, it is really fun and colourful and is fairly good quality. The dwellstudio line for Target is really well priced, much more so than the main dwell line. Mixing the bedding with some more simple furniture pieces makes for a really lovely room. Washes well and colours don't fade. I do like the dwell line of bedding, it is really fun and colourful and is fairly good quality.

I make a budget, I have a certain amnt for groceries, wipes, diapers, etc. I spent all of my diaper money on Baby Life Brand Diapers, what a bad thing to do. I had no other money to go out and buy a better brand so the most messy week had to go on. They leak, I've had three children and I am a pro at putting on diapers, so it wasn't me. I went through so much laundry and time. I want everyone to know do NOT buy this brand. I love the No frills brand, Pampers, Huggies are even okay, but NO BABY LIFE BRAND! How sad. I emailed the company so they will be aware of this issue, I hope they change their diapers. How sad.

Thick and soft without the excess water. i found some wipes irritated my son's skin, but mostly because there was so much excess water. Also the price is right. I used to buy them in bulk at Costco. These have become a bit of a staple in our house...and we now use them on the dog! These are hands down the best wipes out there.

I think the little booties with the faux fur are a better bet than than the little slippers as some babies seem to have issues with the elastic in the slippers. The booties are really easy to slip on and keep the feet protected and warm. Also the material is really soft so it allows little feet to move around. My son wore them for 6 months straight until we had to buy another pair because his feet had grown so much. i passed my pair on to a friend and her son wore them as well. Aside from being really practical, they are insanely cute. They go with everything. No complaints at all and reasonably priced.

It's nice and warm but not too heavy. Also key is that it's easy to slip over baby's arms (no easy feat at that age). I suggest getting a little big so that your baby can get at least 2 years use out of it. Great for travelling, or just keeping warm during the cold days of winter. my friend told me this was the best present she could have received. It's $50, so not cheap, but I have no doubt that it will last a good long time. I hope she keeps it for baby #2.
