Holiday Gift Guide: Ideas for Mom-to-be!





Give Mom Peace of Mind with Diono:  
Diono's most innovative product to date, the Radian®RXT car seat is designed with your child's security and safety as top priorities. Premium materials and thoughtful safety features like a steel alloy frame, aluminum reinforced side walls, energy absorbing EPS foam, and a five-point harness put your mind at ease as your little one stays safe and sound. Mom won't have to worry anymore about her children's safety - a much needed rest. us.diono.com   

Our Thoughts: 

Diono's RXT Convertible Car seat-- This seat is amazing, in so many ways. I love that you can fit three across most any back seat and not struggle to install each one. An well rounded car seat, you don't need to worry about buying more than one! Only if you enjoy the thought of taking baby in and out via a carrier. I am a huge fan of convertible car seats, and love the ease and comfortably of knowing money was spent well and will last.

If you're curious about how it comes in the box, there is a bit of "put together" that you need to do. Such as installing the base for rear facing, adjusting seat straps, as well as installing the infant padding (head and side panels). This is a bit daunting, to be honest. I struggled with this, only because it wasn't as "easy' as I would have thought. When you pay for quality and ease, I assumed most of these things would have been already done. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing either, all the infant padding come off easily so that when you're ready to turn it around and forward face it's done in a jiff. 

The seat itself is super comfortable, and folds flat which is incredible! If you need to switch vehicles or even traveling on a plane, this feature is such a life saver. The downside is that the seat itself is pretty heavy. Diono has made an excellent seat that will last a life time if needed and I am thrilled to have received one for review. And honestly, the fact that this seat is so heavy is a downer for me. So many seats are heavy, and having the ease of switching vehicles quickly would have been such a great perk. 

They allow LATCH system and seat belt for installation. When I tell you that install is a cinch, it really is. You dont' have to fuss around to try to figure out what's going wrong, and when you have children still in seats, the compactness of the RXT makes all of the negatives disappear instantly.

New Way For To-Be Moms To Take Vitamins: PREMAMA

"Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review."

About company:
Forget swallowing horse pills, expectant and nursing moms can now get the essential nutrients they need for baby's health from a simple drink mix. PREMAMA Essentials is a multivitamin powder containing 11 prescription-grade nutrients doctors recommend for fetal/infant health and development. The taste-free powder is taken once a day and can be mixed with any non-carbonated cold beverage such as juice, water or milk, or soft foods. PREMAMA is specially formulated with a type of folate that is easier for the body to absorb, and it also delivers the daily recommend dose of iron in a patented blend of iron and amino acids that is non-constipating and has better absorption rates. Many expectant moms find the greatest benefit of PREMAMA to be the added bonus of eased morning sickness symptoms.


Our Thoughts:
PREMAMA is a drink powder for pregnant women to drink rather than swallowing a pill. While this is a great idea and I love the concept, the iron taste and smell is very strong; almost too strong. Putting this powder in other things like soft foods is genius, however. Yogurts are a great way to mask the iron taste and you're getting the best of both worlds, your prenatals and a great snack!

I do suggest this for momma's out there that are sick often and can't swallow a pill. You just have to remember to mask the iron smell and taste. They come in handy packaging, easy to open individual packets.
