Black Messenger Diaper Bag

aim73 — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:52:26 -0700

I really like the casualness of black messenger diaper bags. They’re definitely one of those bags that both mum and dad can use interchangeably. They don’t scream diaper bags at all which is a big plus.

Our first diaper bag was one of those blue-colored bags with bears all over it. Don’t know what I was thinking when I bought it, but you can of course just imagine what my husband thought about it. Needless to say, he never wanted anything to do with it.

But these black messenger diaper bags are completely different. He has absolutely no qualms about them. Some of the most popular of these type of bags are oioi, diaper dude, and Dad Gear.

Check out the bags below and see if there’s anything that catches your eye.

Camouflage Diaper Bag - Manly Enough But Great For Women, Too

aim73 — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:49:42 -0800

If you want something a bit different from the usual bags, get a stylish and unique Camouflage diaper bag by Skip Hop, Diaper Dude & Dadgear. Here’s my top 6 list

Camouflage Diaper Bags By Diaper Dude

Diaper Dude makes some unique and “man-perfect wear “diaper bags. All of the bags they make are also known for their quality and sturdiness. Their camouflage designs live up to this very reputation. Listed below are my favorite diaper bags from this brand

1. Diaper Dude Camouflage Diaper Bag

This is one of Diaper Dude´s bestselling camouflage bags. This may look small but it’s much bigger than you´d think. It has an amazing 10 compartments with enough spaces for cell phones, keys and other gadgets. And oh! there are some compartments for the baby’s stuff, too! Good value for money at $54.00

2. Dad Survival Diaper Bag Kit

This is some seriously hard-core camouflage diaper bag. If the smaller one above isn´t enough for all your needs, then this set of bags should answer your problems. This is actually a package for three of Diaper Dude´s camouflage products: a diaper bag, a fanny pack and an insulated bottle bag. Something to consider if you plan to go on long trips or holidays. $96

Skip Hop Diaper Bags Camouflage

3. Skip Hop Camouflage Diaper Bag In Green Deluxe

This is Skip Hops deluxe model of the Camo Duo in green. It is bigger with 11 compartments and has a unique strap that can be easily attached on to a stroller. With all the things you have to put inside a diaper bag, you will surely find this feature quite a treat. This is a messenger-style bag. $54

4. Skip Hop Blue Camouflage Diaper Bag

It´s not always that you find a camouflage diaper bag in blue, so this makes it to the top 10 list. Definitely something unique. Like all of Skip Hop’s Duo Deluxe bags, this is made of strong versatile material and can be easily fastened on to a stroller as well. Good value at $53.99

Pink Camouflage Diaper Bag

Ok. So maybe the one below won’t really make it to the Manly enough category, but the ladies will be more than happy to have one of these pink camouflage diaper bags.

5. Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition In Pink Camouflage Design

This bag from Skip Hop has the same features as the blue one featured above. Except that it’s pink! $53.99

Something A Bit Different

6. Fleurville Diaper Bag Khaki-Camouflage

What I like most about this bag is the shoulder strap. This may seem a bit small, but it is actually designed with an expandable zip, so you can easily transform it into a bigger bag when you so desire. It also comes with an insulated beverage holder and has fleece-lined pockets. $119

Extra Tall Baby Gate By Dream Baby

aim73 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:47:15 -0800

I remember how difficult it was for us to find the perfect baby gate. We needed an extra tall baby gate to keep our lovely big dog away. Then we found Dream Baby´s extra tall swing closed safety gate — It was just the one we needed.

These gates are very practical to use especially if you’ve got big tall dogs or cats who you do not want to climb over (although some very determined cats can still climb over it)

One of the most popular manufacturer of extra tall baby gates is Dream Baby. The gates they sell which are available in white or black color ( I say the black safety gates look nicer), stands about 40 inches high.

Features:

Each gate you buy comes with an extension. Added bonus. This means you don’t have to pay extra for the extensions as with other safety baby gates
Good for 28 - 32 inches wide openings
Easy to open and shut
Very sturdy

General Reviews Of The Extra Tall Swing Closed Safety Gate

Most customer reviews of the Extra Tall Swing Closed Safety Gate by Dream Baby are positive. Many who have pets say that this gate is tall enough to stop a big dog from jumping into a room.

Another thing that customers are happy about is the quality of construction saying it is sturdy enough to withstand even the strongest of dogs(!)

There seeems to be mixed reviews regarding the ease of installation though. Some took only 10 minutes to install it while others took a much longer time than that. It took my dear husband 20 minutes.

Price: $64.99

Storkcraft Recalls - Crib Recall Warning

aim73 — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:57:18 -0800

Please be informed that there’s a Storkcraft crib recalls for all cribs manufactured from May 2000 - November 2008 (this information is usually pasted on to the crib). These cribs were sold in various department stores such as Walmart as well as in major online stores like Amazon.

Reason For this crib recall is a defect in the brackets which easily breaks and could leave a gap where the baby could potentially be trapped or suffocate.

If you happen to have bought one of these Storckcraft cribs (which came in various different models), contact StorkCraft at (866) 361-3321 to ask for a replacement kit.

The Modern Basics pink dragonfly bedding is a simple design that should match any dragonfly-themed nursery.

My 29th Week Of Pregnancy

I’m now on my 29th week of pregnancy. I feel tired, heavy and bloated. Joel cooked my favorite roast chicken last night and I couldn’t finish it.

The Baby’s First Kick
