One Stop Shop For Kids - Bouncy Seats, Swings and Walkers

Bouncy seats are great for kids...and parents!

As a new parent you will want to hold your baby for hours but your arms will get very tired and you will also need a break to take a shower, brush your teeth and honestly to go to the bathroom. Your answer to getting a few minutes of freedom is a bouncy seat.

I HIGHLY recommend a bouncer to every new mom I know for their kids. My son has the Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer and he absolutely loves it and so do I! Not only does it calm him when he is fussy with the vibrating function but it also allows me to take a shower in peace and rest my arms. When I need to take a shower I place my son in his bouncer with the vibrating function and the music on and place him outside the shower door so I can quickly shave my legs and wash my hair without being worried about him because I can still see him and he is safe and occupied. I can also put him in the bouncer when I am cooking, cleaning, folding laundry or checking email. fisher price rain forest bouncy seatThe baby bouncers are so lightweight they are easy to carry from room to room so you can still get mommy chores done while entertaining your little ones safely.

One tip...never leave your kids on a countertop or table in their bouncer seat because they could fall and cause serious harm.

All babies want to be a part of everything, even if this may not always be very practical. A good baby bouncer seat is a safe place for hanging out with the rest of the family and a way for them to stay safe. It is even a great seat for them when feeding.

Reminder

 

Are walkers and exersaucers safe?

baby in walkerAre walkers and exersaucers safe for kids?

Walkers and Exersaucers help little ones with their developmental milestones. My kids love having "independence" and the ability to stroll around the kitchen and living room on their own and at their pace.

The attachments on walkers and exersaucers help them learn how to:

  • Vocalize themselves
  • How to grab objects
  • To strengthen their legs
  • Develop fine motor skills
The only concern that doctors and parents have with walkers is that they are dangerous around steps and stairwells because a baby could fall down them and be seriously injured so be sure to have safety gates up at all times.exesaucer fun

My daughter has theEvenflo 3-in-1 ExerSaucer Triple Fun and absolutely loves it. I love it because it starts out as a floor mat, becomes a seat that she can jump around in and then folds out into a work bench she can play on. It also folds up and easily portable to take to grandmas.

Poplular brands for walker and exersaucers are Chicco, Evenflo, Graco, Bright Starts, Combi, Safety 1st, and Fisher Price


Fisher Price Swing Review - My favorite baby swing

New moms are always looking for advice from others when it comes to helping soothe their newborn. You are told to cuddle your baby, walk with your baby, sing to your baby, etc. Well, sometimes that isn't as easy as it sounds. One thing that I found that was a lifesaver with my newborn son was the Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny Cradle 'n Swing.

Babies are accustomed to the swaying motion when they are inside their mothers womb. The Papasan Swing helps reinforce that feeling of safety in your newborn with two swinging motions. The swing cradles your baby and moves side-to-side but also can move in a head-to-toe motion.fisher price swing

Babies also like distractions, soft sounds, colors and movements. This swing has an attachment located on the top of the swing that has little animals and a mirrored globe that move in a circular motion to amaze your little one and give them something to focus on which will help their vision develop. The swing features eight differentsongs, sounds of nature and has six different swing speeds to help you find the perfect one to rock your little one to sleep.

There is also a snack tray for older children that can easily be removed for cleaning and the seat pad is also machine washable in the event of occassional spit up or diaper leaks.

The swing holds children from the time they are born until they weigh approximately 25 pounds. If your child is able to or starts trying to climb out of the seat, it is time to put the swing away. The swing also folds away for storage easily so you can pull it out only when you need it instead of leaving it up as decoration in your living room.
