GoGo BabyZ

I received a press release with the title 'Popular Strollers Can Create a Safety Hazard'. With that title, I had to open it and see which strollers they were referring to.

It states that 3-wheeled strollers (i.e. joggers) are fine during the walking phase, but that the accidents occur when it is stopped or parked- when parents least expect it. Concussions account for 22% of the injuries!

The answer? The Urban Advantage® by GoGo BabyZ Corporation. The Urban Advantage® is one of the most unique and innovative strollers to hit the market and is a celebrated winner of an iParenting Media AwardCertified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association (JPMA).

Go-Go Babyz has engineered the only solution currently available on the market to enhance the stability of three-wheeled strollers. The patent pending brake-activated kickstand is automatically lowered when you press the rear brake bar and retracts when the brake is released.

With the growing popularity of three-wheeled strollers and the increasing awareness of the inherent problem of stroller tipping accidents, the Urban Advantage offers a safe solution for added convenience all in one stroller. Stroll through the mall or city streets with comfort and style.

The Bumbo Baby Sitter

Being pregnant with Baby #3 has allowed me to cut down on the unnecessary baby items that I never used with my first two. I need the basics; crib, car seat, diapers, some clothes and the Bumbo seat! This thing is not only aesthetically pleasing, but such a great concept; much better than using the Boppy pillow when baby is learning to sit up.

Manufactured in South Africa to the highest safety standards from a SOFT low-density, non-toxic foam material, the Bumbo baby seat is lightweight, durable & easy to clean.

The Bumbo Seat can be used on any flat surface & is incredibly versatile. It really comes in handy when you need an extra pair of hands (restaurants, friends houses, birthday parties, the park, on vacation, etc.)

Babies love to feed themselves in the Bumbo & Moms love it too because it's easy to clean-up! The Bumbo can be used much earlier than high chairs and offers many benefits that a high chair can't!

It's perfect for Day Care Centers, Mommy's Day Out & Pediatric Therapists. In addition to being an essential multi-use baby product, the Bumbo baby seat can also be a beneficial tool for caring for special needs babies & children. It provides excellent posture support and also gives children with special needs a feeling of independence and accomplishment. The State of Illinois has approved the Bumbo as a medical device and the Mississippi State Department of Health is providing Bumbo Seats for use by their therapists!

Many parents of babies with Infant Reflux & GERD are also using the Bumbo Seats to keep their babies upright after feedings.

Pregnant? Get Organized!

For the most part we plan our pregnancies, and when we do get pregnant our lives change dramatically! Doctors appointments, eating healthy, planning for baby, etc...During my pregnancies I was always looking for the perfect book to guide me through. I always came up empty handed and eventually gave up. There wasn't anything out there that reflected what I needed during my journey. By nature most women are organized and need to plan. So it was overwhelming for me to take care of myself, plan for the baby, and try to figure out with what happens when I bring the the baby home.

I found the perfect solution for all you pregnant or soon to be pregnant moms (I'm so jealous wish I had this) ...40 weeks +. Started by two moms that were discouraged with the planners on the market. They put their vision on paper and created a realistic and useful pregnancy organizer. Then end result is the 40 week + Essential Pregnancy Organizer!

40weeks + is a chic organizer that can help you organize and track the details of your pregnancy. Everything you might stumble across is addressed. I really like the at home with baby section...I could have used that!

This book is a MUST HAVE!!! 40 Weeks + is offering TBC readers 15% OFF just enter the code bellyconnection at checkout.
