Best Diaper Bag for Cloth Diapers

When a new baby is on the way, there are so many decisions to make.  You need to select a car seat, a crib, and a stroller. Then, if you want to be more organized and prepared, you may want to consider other important items such as a box of diapers, baby bottles, pacifiers, and a diaper bag.

The list can be overwhelming and feel endless.  Some of your choices can happen fairly quickly just by asking a friend for a suggestion or you may find exactly what you want as you stroll through your favorite store or browse online. Others require a bit more thought and research.

I would suggest that taking the time to select the perfect diaper bag for your family will take a bit of consideration but it will save you from frustration down the road.  You do not want to find yourself without the necessary items needed to keep your baby fed and clean while away from home.  It is no fun to have to cancel plans simply because you are missing something essential for your little one.

The Best Long Range Baby Monitor

Jane and Adam’s baby, Billy was now 6 months old. Billy had been sleeping in Jane and Adam’s bedroom since birth but his constant sleep noises had disrupted his parent’s sleep for a long time. Billy’s doctor had said that it was okay for them to move Billy to his own room now. But Jane was still nervous.

“What if Billy wakes up in the middle of the night and needs me and I can’t hear him?” Jane said worried. Billy’s room was at the other end of the house and not next to theirs.

“Don’t worry, darling. We have the long-range baby monitor and I have tested it out and it works great. We will hear him, don’t worry!” Adam reassured her. He knew it was important for everyone’s sleep and sanity for Billy to make the transition to his own room. Continue reading →

The Best Lightweight Baby Car Seat

If you are reading this article, you are most likely looking for a lightweight car seat. And if we are correct, you are probably looking for a light baby car seat for any of the following reasons:

  • You plan to lug around this car seat in and out of the car a lot so you need something light that won’t kill your back.
  • You have one child or children and another on the way and God have mercy on you because you know that you will need extra 5 arms to hold onto everyone and everything. You want a car seat that won’t drain all of your remaining strength.
  • You plan to travel and to take your car seat with you on vacation. The idea of lugging another heavy item (besides your luggage and child) does not seem appealing at all.
  • You just basically want to make your life easier. Life is hard enough as it is with a child. Lightweight seats are heaven-sent.
