Dresden (Dark) Infants Bib

Babies LOVE this teether!
I bought 3 of these teethers for Christmas presents. All 3 sets of parents have called and ask where I found such a neat teether. It may just be a teether but young parents like to have things that nobody else has. I was really suprized at how they loved it.

in praise of bouncy seats
Now that I've caved to the power of pink (it only took three girls for me to finally give in), this turns out to be very cute and was the second cheapest I could find. Quality seems fine (two weeks post purchase) and who doesn't love a tool that keeps the kiddo safe and calm while one does dishes or makes dinner for the rest of the brood...? For the first babe, we were given a different seat that aimed to be an improvement over the classic and very simple bouncy seat, but had so many functions it was basically useless. This is a case, though, where the basics are the best. In looking around for a new one, saw many for $100; if you can stomach the not-as-posh aesthetic, this seems like a great value for a seat that will only used for a few months, anyway.

My daughter LOVES the Ergo
and so do I! I started out with the Moby wrap and that worked fairly well for us, but it was a hot to wear, inconvenient to wrap when out and about, and tricky (but possible) to nurse in. I knew I wanted something else, but baby carriers are expensive and one could easily spend a fortune trying out all the variations.

We decided on the Ergo and we couldn't be happier. We've had it for six months now and it is the number one thing I could not live without as far as all baby gear is concerned. I too was worried about her only facing inwards, but she has never minded and she seems to prefer it. She holds on like a little koala bear as we go about our daily business. Unlike the Moby, she isn't flat against my chest, she's sitting, so that she can easily check out the scenery by looking to the sides.

When she was big enough--probably in the neighborhood of 5.5 or 6 months, I started wearing her on my back and that is great! Now when I do those glorious household tasks like cleaning toilets and baseboards, she isn't dangling off the front of me. We get a lot more cleaning done now that she can ride on my back. :-) At first, I needed help to put her on my back. However, now that she's 9 months and can hold on a bit, I can get her on easily--I even trust our abilities over concrete these days (when I started getting her into the back carry position on my own, I would practice over the couch. It *was* tricky at first (we made some mistakes), but once we got the hang of it, it wasn't a problem at all.

My husband can wear her too and it's simple to readjust the straps so that they fit both of us.

Like any of the carriers, this one takes some practice (though the front carry is about as easy as it can get). Breastfeeding in this for me is difficult, but I can do it in a pinch. I can carry her long distances and after a long while (probably 4-5 miles), my neck will hurt a bit, but my back is fine.

My daughter loves her Ergo in the way some kids take to a lovey. She'll stop by and give it a visit when she's crawling around exploring the house. When I see her chewing on the straps (they second as a favorite teething toy) or playing peek-a-boo with them, I'll put it on and she gets all excited (we compare it to the way a dog gets excited when his owner gets out the leash to take him for a walk). It is very sweet and funny. When she went for her first trip to our friend's house to be babysat, the only thing that would calm her when she was sad was being carried in her Ergo. If she has a meltdown when she's home with daddy, the Ergo saves the day (she just needs to play with it--not even ride in it).

I love the time my daughter and I spend walking our neighborhood with her in the Ergo. Sometimes we're quiet and other times she'll make happy bounces and that's my cue to do some hops and bounces for her. Our family members wonder why we never need a stroller. "Isn't she heavy?" they ask. They think we're a little weird. I don't know any parents out there who will look back on their child's life and wish that perhaps they had carried him/her less. We don't carry her all the time, but we do carry her more. The forward-facing position allows for optimal baby head-kissing...now who wouldn't want more of that? (except maybe the baby :-))--but a few more here and there are always nice, especially if you can sneak them in when they're asleep or not looking.

Hug your baby, carry your baby, dance with your baby...the Ergo will let you have more time to do those things *and* maybe get the dishes done too :-).

Great travel system
I bought this for my daughter when she was just a few weeks old, and I still use it now that she's a year old. She outgrew the infant carseat at about nine months, but the stroller is AMAZING. It's a little on the heavy side, but it steers well, and it's very comfortable for my girl. She falls asleep in it all the time.

My daughter always fell asleep in the carseat, and would stay asleep for two hours or more while I did my marathon grocery shopping trips.

stroller is bulky but otherwise great!
We bought the "Orange Oak" pattern of this product at Babies R Us but we looked at the Mesa and it is exactly the same, except for the fabric. We bought it before our son was born, sometime in December I believe, and put it together right away. It was fairly easy to assemble.
Our son was born 2/4/09 and we have been using the car seat portion almost daily since. The stroller we use only about weekly. It is rather large even when it folds up, but that would be the only con I can think of at this point. Granted, we've only used it for 9 weeks now.

The car seat itself is awesome. It uses the "Latch" system which all newer vehicles (starting in 2001 or 2002) have. This allows the base to just snap into hooks in your back seat, then the infant carrier clicks into the base. The infant carrier has a triangle shaped handle which makes it easier to carry it at many different angles. Our son was pretty little (5lbs 13oz) when we came home from the hospital so we did buy an infant head rest, but now that he's bigger it is probably time to take it out and just adjust the built-in adjustable headrest.

We bought a second Baby Trend car seat base at a kid's consignment shop for very cheap and now we have the flexibility to use either vehicle without swapping car seats. Again, we haven't used the stroller too much yet but overall we're very happy and would buy it again.
