April Showers: Tripp Trapp Giveaway (Ends 5/3) U.S.

If there is one item I could tell you to make sure you have on your baby registry it is the Stokke Tripp Trapp! This is a must-have! On the market for over 40 years, this unique chair takes your child from baby to adult.

The Tripp Trapp® designer’s inspiration came from watching his own young son, Tor, struggle to find a comfortable position to sit in at their family table. Having grown out of his old-fashioned high-chair, but still far too small to sit on an adult’s chair, Tor was left dangling his legs and struggling to reach the table.

The benefits of the Tripp Trapp:

• Grows with your child
• Allows freedom of movement and encourages play and independence, while still making safety and security paramount.
• Adjusts to the size of your child, ensuring he or she is always at the perfect height to eat, play and interact, with his or her feet properly supported, at whatever age
• Height and depth adjustable seat and foot plate
  • Lifts the floor up to the child - gives stability and ability to move.
  • Chair adapts to the child’s body instead of vice versa.
  • Elevates the child up to the correct height at the table.
  • Child is part of dining experience.
  • Promotes parent - child bonding.
  • Child is sitting ergonomically correct.
  • Longevity of product.

  Manufactured from cultivated beech

  • Strong, solid and durable.
  • Environmentally friendly/safety.
  • Longevity of product.

  No fixed tray

  • Comes closer to the table.
  • Develops hand/eye co-ordination.
  • Socialising.
  • Easy for the child to move.

  7-year warranty on wooden components

• Registration at www.stokke.com entitles the owner to a 7-year Extended Warranty.
• Good investment.
• Security.
• Good value for money.
• Proof of quality.
• I have never heard of this!  I wish I had known when my daughter was little.  I love this!

One *lucky* Mommy Guru fan will win a $Stokke Tripp Trapp! To enter, please use the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway ends May 3rd at 11:59pm EST open to US residents only, ages 18+. Good luck!

Britax Frontier 85 Car Seat Giveaway (ends 3/10) U.S.

When you think of safety, you might think of Britax! Kira, the daughter of the blogger setting up these giveaways, is tall and has been needing a new car seat for those long legs of hers! Her mom wasn't exactly sure what car seat to move to next after the Boulevard so she went to the Britax website and found this wonderful tutorial about how to determine whether your child is ready for a booster seat.

The Frontier 85 is a Harness-2-Booster car seat. What does that mean? It easily converts from a 5-point harness car seat to a booster seat when they are ready.

Key features I *love* about this seat:

• True Side Impact Protection-The head restraint has an extra layer of energy-absorbing foam to keep your child’ s head, neck and spine aligned, and deep side walls lined with energy-absorbing foam to keep your child safer in case of a crash.
• Energy-Absorbing Versa- Tether that slows forward movement in a crash through a staged-release, reducing the crash forces that reach your child.
• Highest Five-Point Harness Seat Capacity allows your child to remain harnessed up to 85 lbs
• Armrests on each side of the seat to help ensure a secure fit and a comfortable place for your little one to rest their arms.
• Cup holders!
• LATCH connectors
• Washable cover
• Aircraft travel certified in harness mode

 

The Britax Frontier 85 retails for $299.99 and is found at Amazon.com and on their website.

You can follow them on their Facebook or Twitter.

Sponsored Post--The Mile High Cry Tips on Traveling Stress-Free With Your Toddler

The Mile High Cry: Tips on Traveling Stress-Free With Your Toddler

This guest post was written by H. Denbert who has a degree in social work and hopes to satisfy her interest in science by getting a forensic science education in her spare time


We’ve all been there: trapped on an airplane, with that annoying baby crying in the next aisle throughout the flight. I was even on a plane once where another “helpful” woman angrily screamed, “Have you heard of a pacifier?!” Maybe like me, now you’re on the other side of the equation, with a toddler in tow, trying to fend off pissed-off passengers with apologetic half smiles. From navigating the maze of airport security to the endless hours in the sky, here are ways to cut down on the inevitable stress of flying with your child. Just look at it this way: at least we don’t have to travel by wagon train anymore.


Before You Get to The Airport

• Make sure you have the right size containers. You’re allowed to fly with juice, formula, or breast milk for baby, but it has to be in the right size container. Only 3.4 ounce (100 ml) or smaller containers are allowed. Check the TSA website for the most recent information on airport security and what it means for your toddler.
• Keep your stroller organized: You’ll have to take everything out of your stroller, in order for it to be x-rayed. Keeping things organized will cut down on annoying time in the security line. Pack things together, and minimize the amount of clutter floating in your stroller’s compartments.
• Bring a baby seat and reserve that extra plane seat: While it might be possible to carry your child on your lap while flying, it sure isn’t comfortable. The money you can save by doing it might be appealing, but reserving an extra seat is more courteous to the fellow fliers and more likely to result in a calmer flight for your kid. And, if your child weighs more than forty pounds, you’re required by the FAA to restrain them with an airplane seatbelt.
• Bring the right entertainment: If it’s the portable DVD player your kid loves, make sure it’s in the bag. Don’t overpack, however, or you’ll be lugging a heavy bag through the airport.

In Flight

• Pack a diaper change kit: Put all the things you need to change a few diapers in one easily accessible bag. You’ll be glad you had that diaper, some wipes, and a good smelling lotion around when you need to change a diaper in flight. If you’ve got a larger kid, ask a crew member if there is a bathroom on the aircraft with a change table, as this is often the case.
• Dealing with ear popping: That uncomfortable feeling of pressure buildup in the ears can be one of the most trying things about flying with children. A pacifier is helpful, and should be put in during take-off and before your descent. Unfortunately, for kids too young to understand the instructions to swallow, crying can be the only effective way to relieve ear pressure. Let them cry it out---it’s actually helpful.
• Bring more food than you think you'll need: Pack food and snacks as if you won’t be getting any on the plane. This is often the case these days, and even if there is food that doesn’t mean your toddler will actually eat it. When it’s time to eat, feed your kid first, then yourself. Manipulating trays of food in flight can be difficult, and you’ll be more relaxed while eating if your child has already.
• Be prepared for motion sickness: If it’s your child’s first flight or you know they are prone to motion sickness, be prepared. Put a Ziploc bag in your purse or in front of your seat, if you fear they might puke. And of course, keep lots of wet wipes around for clean up. Don’t let them eat too much before the flight, and consider putting a disposable bib on any child that may get sick. Even a little puke smells really bad, when stuck in a tiny airplane.
