Snuggy Baby Review and Giveaway


Snuggy Baby offers a variety of products for baby and Mom, not to mention doll carriers for your older kiddos who want to be like Mommy or Daddy. Cloth diapers, ring slings, wraps, Oh My! When I tell you that's just the beginning of the products offered, please believe me! Not Sure? Go here and shop for yourself at their site.

I decided when I saw all the cute carriers out to wear my daughter. I really wish I would have had a wrap when she was younger, and not so squirmy. Wraps are great, but also take some time to figure out. You can find videos here on how to use your wraps/slings.

I love this company because it's one mom who started out doing something she loved! I am always willing to help promote Moms' and Dads' alike with businesses they've started. Baby gear is all the rage today and there are certain things that Moms and Dads can make themselves to help earn some income, slings and wraps are among those things.
If you're wondering what kind of quality Snuggy Baby offers, it's great!: You get a great product and a reasonable price. Customer Service is through the roof, they want you to be happy at all costs. Questions or concerns, they want to know! Don't hesitate to contact them.

I used a ring sling (not Snuggy Baby) for quite some time with my daughter, and it worked great! I would have loved a wrap though especially in the times where she loved to snuggle on my chest. These wraps and slings are great for newborn to about 4 months, in my opinion. My baby is too squirmy for either of these now and much prefers a more structured carrier. But, your baby may love these clear up to toddler age. It's really a preference for Mom and baby.

There are so many carry's you can do with a wrap it's incredible! Kangaroo carry (baby faces outward), Craddle carry (baby laying parallel to ground in wrap), etc. And the benefits of carrying your baby are vast! You can find information on that here. Let's not forget that the wraps, slings, wet bags, etc are all way too cute and you can coordinate them all together!

The Giveaway: Snuggy Baby is offering one lucky reader the opportunity to win one of their wraps! This is only available to residents in the US. Enter the Rafflecopter form below to enter!

Boba: Review and Giveaway


Who wants to carry their baby all the time? You'll spoil your kid. You'll have a bad back, carrying your child will only hurt your shoulders. Do these sayings sound familiar? If so, has it stopped you from doing research to find that there are great baby carriers out there, that WON'T hurt your back or shoulders? You may even find out that wearing your baby, in fact, will not spoil them, but will make them calmer and more independent later down the road.
If you think carriers are expensive, well, they are. But, you pay for quality. And as a mom who didn't have a quality carrier with my first, I would definitely pay for a more expensive carrier to have the quality and comfort that Boba offers. Pricing isn't as important when you look at the grand scheme of things. I can wear my daughter in this carrier even when she is a toddler. Newborn to toddler is enough of a reason for me to pay for a well made carrier.
How long can you wear a baby before you get uncomfortable? I suppose that would depend on the parent and child. My daughter is six months old and twenty pounds. I have worn her for several hours in the Boba and haven't had any issues. Sure, I get tired, but I have a twenty pound kid! Ultimately, you have to decide how long is too long to wear your baby.
The makers left nothing out! There are step-by-step instructions on how to put the carrier on and adjust. They included pamphlets on baby wearing and what it helps establish, as well as a safety guide. The carrier looks overwhelming at first. But once you read the instructions and watch the video's provided on Boba's website, it's easy as pie!

I love how simple it is to adjust! It really is as  easy as pulling on the straps. I honestly thought when I first was playing around with it that it couldn't possibly be that easy, I was wrong. Anyone, young or old, can figure this carrier out with minimal issue. It fits not only me, but my husband, and our eight year old son!
Let's talk extras and perks. You want a place for your cell phone? Done! What about a rain cover for baby? Got it. There really isn't anything they didn't think of. Busy moms everywhere will love all the features of this carrier. It even has a snap on the shoulders for your purse!
Carrying an older child is easy too. Their legs may get tired of hanging. No problem! The Boba carrier has foot straps! This comes in great to keep your little ones legs and hips aligned. Do they not like the front carry? No worries, you can back carry your older kiddo's no problem!
 Another great feature is the cushion for newborns that snaps in. It has two ways to wear it. You can fold it in half to snap or leave it open. There are so many features to the Boba, that I was really impressed with how user friendly everything is!
If I had to pick just one piece of baby gear that I couldn't live without, it would be my Boba 4G carrier! My daughter loves it, I love it, and it helps that everyone we see asks about it! A huge thank you to the people over at Boba for providing me with their product for review! I am in love with the ease and functionality that is provided every time I wear it.

Baby Wearing with Bibetts - Review & #Giveaway

This product was received for free in exchange for an honest review.


Our Thoughts:
I have looked and looked for a carrier that my daughter would like! Finally found one!
Crafted well, I was able to wear my baby out and about in an amusement park with ease! She loved it so much she fell asleep, and stayed asleep for hours! Quality is super important, and I'm so glad this sling is quality workmanship, and is beautiful!
I was sent two slings, one single layer, and one double. The double is great for older babies, and seems to provide a bit more warmth in the colder weather. I love them both, and would definite purchase a wrap in the future!

Bibetts is also found on Etsty: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Bibetts
