The SmarTfold 500 7-in-1 Trike Takes Your Baby From Stroller to Tricycle

September 18, 2017 by Kathryn 39 Comments

One of the hardest things about having a baby is all the “stuff” that tends to accumulate as a little one grows. And that’s why I’ve always been a huge fan of products that grow along with my children. Whether it’s a car seat that converts to a booster or a crib that turns into a toddler bed, multi-use baby gear means more bang for my buck!

That’s why I was thrilled when SmarTrike offered me the chance to review the smarTfold 500 7-in-1 tricycle. Not only is this ingenious trike appropriate for babies from 9 months to 3 years, it’s also perfect for travelling! And with a trip to Europe being planned for this spring, I’m sure the SmarTfold will be essential. [Read more…]

It’s Easy to Travel with Baby with the Evenflo JourneyLite Select Travel System-Giveaway

December 30, 2013 by Kathryn 166 Comments

Earlier this year I had to check out the fabulous JourneyLite Select travel system from Evenflo. This travel system has so many great features for parents and their infants and the top one for me was its lightweight design. I still remember how unpleasant it was to tote around the heavy infant car seat that I had for my boys. And the stroller I used was just as bad. My stroller had lots of great features I loved, but folding it up and carrying it around when travelling was horrible!

Evenflo understands that lighter is better when it comes to the baby gear of an on-the-go mom and that’s why the company designed the JourneyLite Select Travel System to be as lightweight as possible for easy transport and maneuvering. But even though the travel system is built to be lightweight, it still boasts great durability and all the features I love such as a multi-position reclining stroller seat and a large canopy and storage bin on the stroller.

Babies Travel in Comfort with the Mountain Buggy MB Mini and Carrycot-Giveaway

June 19, 2013 by Brenna 107 Comments

Having a new baby this spring has been wonderful. We have spent many sunny afternoons snuggling in our backyard hammock, lying in the shade of our poplar trees and, of course, strolling the streets of our small community. Even though this is my third child, I somehow managed to not yet invest in a good stroller. I suppose I just borrowed from family members whose children had moved on to a different size or style at that time. This kind of making-do was economical but it often meant my little ones were riding around in strollers that didn’t quite fit them. So I was certainly delighted when Mountain Buggy offered me the MB Mini Stroller and Carrycot to make my newborn more comfortable on our frequent strolls.

The carrycot can also be completely covered thanks to a fabric cover that snaps securely over about three quarters of the bassinet and a canopy that can be drawn above the remaining portion. This makes for such a cozy little sleeping area that I was able to take my little one out for walks even on the more chilly or windy days with no worry about her feeling the elements.

The stroller also came with a rain cover which we were able to utilize when it suddenly began pouring on the day of our town parade. The rain cover worked wonderfully to keep my new baby dry and my two older girls were sure happy that we didn’t have to miss the parade because of the rain! [Read more…]

Moms on the Go will Love the Evenflo JourneyLite Embrace Travel System

January 28, 2013 by Kathryn 5 Comments

Even though I am a work-at-home mom, my boys and I spend a lot of time on the go. From walking back and forth to school to attending special events in Regina, we’re out and about a lot. And when we’re going to be doing a lot of walking, Benjamin usually spends at least some of the time in a stroller.

But lugging that stroller around from place to place is a huge pain and when the boys were younger and in infant car seats, I had the same issue with the hefty seats. While the handle was supposed to make the infant seat easy to carry, it was so heavy that I found it cumbersome and tiring to move from place to place. That’s why the new Evenflo JourneyLite Embrace Travel System sounded like such an amazing choice for me. This system is designed to provide exceptional safety and comfort for children without weighing Mom down! [Read more…]
