The Shoulder Stroller: the stroller in a purse

Age 0-1 year, Strollers, Travel, ,

A stroller that fits in your purse.  It's true. This little mommy gadget is a back saver to say the least.  The Shoulder Strollers attaches to your baby's infant seat and then you place the perfect sized shoulder pad on the opposite shoulder which counterbalances the weight freeing you from back, neck and shoulder pain.  They key is that the shoulder strap redistributes the weight of the infant seat to use your larger muscles rather than just your arm muscles.  Using all of the muscles in just one arm and shoulder causes your entire back to be unbalanced which speaking from experience can case back pain and cramping.

Three easy steps and you're ready to go!

Three reasons you should use The Shoulder Stroller:

  1. It fits in your diaper bag or purse
  2. There's no reason to get the stroller out when running short errands.
  3. Saves you from back pain

The patent pending twin-lock safety system makes The Shoulder Stroller the safest hands-free carrier available.

StowAway diaper bag by Flee Bags

Fleebags Here’s a riddle for you..

What has the functionality of a toddler seat cushion, a laptop protector, and a diaper changing aid?
A Flee Bag diaper changing pad of course!

I’ve never used a diaper changing pad that is so soft and ‘cushiony’ AND can be wiped clean and I’ve had the opportunity to test a lot of diaper changing pads. 

The diaper changing pad is included in the incredible StowAway Diaper Bag by Flee Bags. This bag is truly unique in its design and functionality. The design fits my personality and style perfectly and the functionality fits a mommy’s lifestyle and then when you no longer need to tote pounds of diapers, toys, wipes, sippy cups, pacifiers, blah blah blah… you can use the StowAway Diaper Bag as a handbag, carry on bag, or a laptop case. Simply place your laptop in the bag and cover it with the super cushiony diaper changing pad. How great is that?

One of my favorite features of the StowAway Diaper Bag is the detachable change purse.  I’ve been testing the diaper bag for about a week now and there have been a few occasions when I needed to run into the store quickly for milk, bananas, or whatever and I didn’t want to carry the bag inside. I didn’t have to! I put my money, ID, and cell phone in the cool change purse and that’s all I took inside. LOVE IT!

I am thouroughly impressed with the durability of the bag. It’s impressive enough that it can hold tons of diapers, wipes, toys, food, and drinks but the fact that it can hold a laptop without ripping open at the seams thrills me.

Here are some features of the StowAway Diaper Bag:

Zipper-Top closure
Contrasting Interior Lining – Classy and stylish designs inside and out!
One Large Exterior Flat Panel Pocket
One Expandable Exterior Side Pocket
Three Exterior Flat Panel Pockets – great for easy access to a cell phone
Multiple Interior Mesh and Oilcloth pockets
Detachable Change Purse
Adjustable Shoulder Strap with Padded Slider
Dangling Key Clip
Protective Base Feet – these are great for germaphones (that’s what Sebastian calls me) like me. I get grossed out thinking about what kinds of dirt and germs attach themselves to the bottom of my bags when at a restaurant, doctors office, etc. The feet on the Stowaway Diaper Bag are a great feature!

That’s not all! I am going to publish a review of the Flee Hanging Cosmetics Case next week. We are taking a short vacation this weekend which gives me the perfect opportunity to use and photograph the case.

Mommy Bag by Rebecca Denny

Diaper Bags, ,

Calling all women!  Wait.. calling all mommies and women!Rebeccadenny

You were a woman before you were a mom, right? Well, why sacrifice your style by toting around a bla diaper bag from the baby store when you can proudly carry what looks like a purse, but has the functionality of a diaper bag?  Yes, it’s true!  Rebecca Denny has created the much needed Mommy Purse.   

I love the soft textured fabric and elegant design of the Pineapple Mommy Purse. The inside room is great and features lots of pockets including an outside pocket on either end to accommodate bottles and sippy cups for easy access. The front exterior of the bag has two large pockets, each measuring 7×7 that will hold your sunglasses, cell phone, wallet, etc. Rebecca didn’t forget about the personal items that we must take with us at times.  She includes a large zipper pocket in the interior of the bag that will hold your personal items (chapstick, compact powder, girly things, etc).

Go to rebeccadenny.com and you will see four beautiful designs in her Spring/Summer 07 collection and you can also take a sneak peek at her Fall/Winter collection!

Monogrammed Diaper Bag

Diaper Bags, ,

Hottietottiedesigns Do you ever feel like you lost your identity when you became a mom?  I went through that phase after I had Madelyn, my second child, a year ago.

When I received a personalized ribbon tote from Hottie Tottie Designs I was overjoyed.  Carrying a diaper bag with my initials on it helps me feel like not only am I am mommy, but I am also ME!  You can design your own diaper bag by first choosing the bag style, and fabric patters, then a sache color if applicable, and the font if you want your diaper bag monogrammed.

No more running into friends at play dates, that have the same diaper bag as you! YEAH!

Hottie Tottie Designs diaper bags come with a coordinating diaper changing pad, and feature a magnetic closure, five pockets (including a cell phone pocket), and are made of 100% stain resistant cotton. How great is that?

This bag is an all around great diaper bag. Complete with a strong canvas lining, lots of pockets, it’s personalized, stain resistant… what more can you ask for?
