BloggerBash 2014: Mommy Tech Summit and BabyPalooza

Being a parent is no easy job, but thankfully, there’s something new around every corner to help moms and dads like us. At Blogger Bash 2014’s Mommy Tech Summit and BabyPalooza, we got a look at some of the great products available to give parents some much-needed assistance in the challenges of everyday life with kids. Here’s some of our highlights from the showcase:

“BOB-B-SAFE” by Britax

britax-bob-b-safe-122-133-lFrom its inception in 1938, automotive safety company Britax has always focused on protecting people from the potential dangers faced during travel. You can bet that care and concern only increased when they began to zero-in on children’s products in the 1970s, and on into today– and it’s certainly evident in their BOB-B-SAFE car seats. Designed to match the company’s line of BOB strollers, the BOB-B-SAFE seats combine style and safety in the best of ways. The seats also feature side-impact protection, and a tangle-free, five-point secure harness to keep your child safe.

Joovy

110Every trip isn’t just in a car, though, so you definitely want to make sure you have the best for your child even when you’re just going for a walk! Have a look at Joovy, manufacturer of over 20 different strollers and carriers of all shapes and sizes. Unique to Joovy is the Tricycoo Tricycle, created to help kids make their first biking experience fantastic. Able to be powered by the kids pedaling or parents pushing (with the included removable parent push handle), the Tricycoo strikes the perfect balance between stroller and trike.

DeltaChildren

7888-205-canton-4-in-1-crib-espresso-cherry-1At the end of the day (quite literally), it’s important to have a good crib for your baby to rest in. Delta Children is an industry leader in safe, high-quality, and budget-friendly chidren’s furniture for your baby’s comfort and your peace of mind, and the company has been dedicated to creating quality cribs and other children’s furniture for over three decades. A great example of Delta Children’s commitment to functionality, quality, and style is their Canton 4-in-1 Crib, which converts from crib to toddler bed to daybed, and finally full-size bed with headboard and footboard. This crib will surely become a focal point in your home for years to come!

Britax B-Ready Stroller 2012 Review and Giveaway

Britax B-Ready Stroller 2012 Review and Giveaway

britax-2012-b-ready-108-a82-lOne thing you’ll start to notice when you have a toddler is that they start to out grow strollers… usually its by weight – the stroller just doesnt handle right or worst.  When most people start shopping for strollers they dont ever thing of the size their child will most likely grow to be… my wife is 5’9” and I’m 6’2” having a small child wasnt in the cards — back then the Britax B-Ready wasnt on the market but if I was having a baby today – it would certainly be one of the top choices.

Lets give you the run down on some specs.

For use with children at least 6 months old, up to 55 lbs when using the single chair.  You could use this stroller from Birth by using the B-Safe or the Chaperone infant car seats.

You might have noticed I said the single chair – thats because you have 14 combinations of how you can go with this stroller – add a second seat or maybe you need a second seat that is an infant car seat – no problem.  Check out all the combinations here.

Reversible top seat with 4 recline positions – so you could have baby facing you or facing away.

Foam-filled rubber tires so you never have to worry about a flat tire.

One big reason why you’re seeing more and more Britax strollers – not only has Britax one of the best reps for safety but the price points on these strollers are amazing! Check out some of the prices on amazon but I bet you could find these strollers at a family owned store near you too.

How to win it… Contest ends 11:59pm EST. January 24th, 2013.
