GoGoBabyz- Travel Stroller/Carseat G!VEAWAY

Strollers always have some new feature to make you say, “Wow, great idea”. Today we are looking at GoGoBabyz new stroller the Urban Advantage. What makes this stroller unique is only has three wheels, two in the back and one in the front. This makes tight turns a breeze and even fitting it in the trunk seems a bit easier.

The stroller is for children from new born to 45 lb.s with a touch of a button it folds up quickly and easily. There is a large storage compartment underneath and the tires are airless, so no blow outs while traversing the wild streets of the city, lol. OR, the not so wild streets and sidewalks of suburbia 🙂

Little Man says about the stroller- “oh- mom, it’s comfy!” and I have to say it was a very smooth ride. It has 4 cupholders- one for me, one for him, and one for when Kamikaze joins us, with one left. So if you have more then 2 kids, or daddy comes along, you are good to go. It has lots of storage, and the sunshade is of course, a must have feature in any stroller. You also need the snack tray- which swings out for easy in and out- daily, don’t we? It’s also good for playing with all the toys our little ones carry with them everywhere, LOL.

It was super easy to put together- it took my husband less then 20 minutes to do. The ride is so smooth, it feels like you hardly have to push it at all, and more then once I have pushed it one-handed (what can I say- cell phones ring, toys drop, hats fall off, you know how it is!!!) and it was so not an issue. Even when the road gets bumpy, the stroller just keeps truckin’!

A few more features of this stroller that I love are;

  • 360-degree front-wheel swivel and a slim
  • Easy to maneuver around tight corners and narrow store aisles
  • Airless 12-inch wheels
  • Provides easy handling and a smooth ride on urban sidewalks or dirt paths
  • Cushioned four-position reclining seat back
  • Adjustable leg rest
  • Stroller collapses easily with the one-handed folding system.

You can pick up lots of accessories for this stroller on the site, too- such as rain gear, a larger sun shade, a twin adapter, and the like 🙂

Next up is the GoGo Kidz Travelmate. The Travelmate is a wonderful attachment for anyone who goes traveling with toddlers. This attachment is in simplest terms wheels that attach to a car seat which make it very easy to roll the car seat around. The Travelmate has a telescopic handle and two 5 inch Razor wheels.


This attachment makes it so much easier then lugging around a car seat. Not only is your little one off their feet, but the car seat now has wheels and is easy to move around. Have you ever tried to travel while toting around a carseat? And then the stroller??? NOT FUN! You need a seat for your child on the plane, and you need a stroller for the airport, and when you land. This makes things so much easier. Plus then you won’t need to rent a carseat when you land and get to your rental car 🙂 BAM- covered!

Now onto the real fun parts. Recycling! GoGo Kidz now offers recycled versions of both their Travelmate and Urban Advantage. A recycled unit is one that has been refurbished [Read more…]

Zoobies! W!N Yours Here- A Pillow, A Pet, A Blanket!

I have to tell you, this is one product that I really, really like. It is really useful, cute, versatile, fun, and functional! Zoobies! It’s a pillow, it’s a blanket, it’s a toy, it’s FABULOUS! I love it. It is great to bring on road trips, to Pre-School, to grandma’s house- it’s a sleepover all-in-one. My Little Man chose to review Lencho the Lion- and he has slept in Little’s bed every night since he arrived. It is an adorable pillow that can be used as a toy and blanket combo as well- The blanket (44″ x 34″) that comes with it not only covers Little Man fully, but is adorable.

When the blanket is out of the Zoobie, Lencho becomes a friend to play with or sleep with. What kid likes to sleep without a stuffie? When you are all done with the blankie, it packs up to fit back inside, making him both a huggable buddy and a snuggely pillow! Do you not love it? And what a good idea. Lencho the Lion even came to Disney with us- and got used daily. That is proof of a great toy- love in Disney!

From his fun wild mane to his super-soft fur, Lencho™ is sure to become your child’s constant companion. Not only is Lencho™ an adorable lion, but also a comfy pillow and super-soft blanket all in one. Perfect for road excursions or just cuddling in bed. Lencho™ also makes for the ideal baby shower gift.

  • Microbead stuffed head for ultimate squishability
  • Large, super-soft coral fleece blanket zipped inside: 44″ x 34″
  • L: 25.2″ x W: 6.7″ x H: 10.6″
  • 100% polyester (additional materials)
  • Washing-Blanket: Machine wash, tumble dry. Blanket zips off for easy washing.
  • Washing-Outer pouch: Spot wash (if machine washed, using a laundry bag designed for delicates is recommended).
  • Two bottom hook-and-loop Velcro tabs gather Blanket Pet™ into animal shape.
  • Recommended for ages 3 and up, but safely tested for all ages.

Isotoner Gloves- SmarTouch for your iPhones and Pads- review and C0NTEST

What to do in cold weather when you need to send that text with your touch screen phone? Go without the text or shiver yourself to an incomprehensible mess of spelling mistakes and punctuation finalized with a push of the cancel button. Wouldn’t it be nice if a company who made gloves, possibly Isotoner, made gloves that worked on touch screens? How about making them really warm, functional and practical?
All these things can be included in one pair of gloves and I have them. Ha ha! (It’s OK- you can, too! LOL)

They are the new smarTouch

John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight- W!N Yours Here!

The new John Deere product line from Learning Curve is rolling into stores! A fun new item for campouts or just fun around the house is the John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight. Shaped like a John Deere tractor–and featuring free-rolling wheels–the Roll ‘n Go Flashlight offers real light and features tractor sounds when the light is triggered. Auto shut-off features saves batteries! Requires three AAA batteries, included
My son really enjoys playing with this, and it will be fun for summer camping. The rolling flashlight makes it like a REAL car for him, so of course it is challenging to make him turn the flashlight OFF, lol. It will also be fun on Halloween and other dark occasions, like those night time borrowing sugar from the neighbors with mommy, haha.
With Little Man thinking he is a farmer, this is a big hit. He also likes to make the tractor visit his animals down on the farm, but the best farmer we have- besides little, of course? Micky Mouse. Don’t ask.
You can pick one up at Target and Toys R Us for $12.99, or you can win one here!

KinderGlo- Your Night Time Solution! Review and G!VEAWAY

As the mommy of a 4 year old, anything that makes the night less scary is a good thing. Of course, anything that makes naptime and bedtime any easier is a good thing, too- LOL. As moms, we all know that bedtime can be challenging. While my son can have his fears calmed with his favorite stuffed monsters, he still has fears of the dark. We got him a cow nightlight that wears a nightshirt and hat that he liked a lot, and it goes on anytime the room is dark.

But he still is scared. Then we found KinderGlo, quite by accident. He just loves the cute little animal, and it really fits with his room as well. Animals protect children from monsters and dark things, don’t you know that? Since the arrival of KinderGlo, we still have a few nightmares, but it is getting better.

A bit more about KinderGlo

Our comforting fun characters are

  • Rechargeable
  • BPA and lead free
  • Packaged hassle free and with 100% recyclable materials

Simple to use. One button to allow you to choose

  • between Auto Fade Off after 30 min or Continuous On
  • between different color settings
  • stay on one color

One of you can win a KinderGlo nightlight of your choice! Here is how to enter.
