After 5 weeks of using all of our baby goods, below are some of our favorites that get daily use.
The UppaBaby Mesa Carseat has been great. Dad installed it within minutes and received an A++ from policeman that checked the installation. Plus so far, Lincoln has instantly fallen asleep each time he has been put in the carseat which makes driving very enjoyable for both parents and baby.
The UppaBaby Cruz Stroller is a hit. Lincoln has enjoyed strolling the neighborhood and the mall. We have went to the mall to enjoy the AC for both shopping as well as speedwalking with “Aunt Lil” to help her train for the Avon walk she is doing in NYC this fall. Last Saturday, Lincoln enjoyed the easy glide of this stroller for 8 miles early Saturday a.m. So I would say that is a hit! The stroller is super easy to open and close. We even have a screen canopy we use outside—-adding for night walks to keep bugs out and early am walks to give some sun protection.
These swaddles by Aden+Anais have been versatile and the perfect weight. We use them as blankets, as wraps and take them everywhere we go. They are made of bamboo so the content is perfect for the hot summer days in Dallas.
While we have alot of onesies that we love the prints of – this 3pack found at Nordstrom’s by Skip Hop are a hit. Lincoln is not always happy about changing clothes so we try to make the process quick. The neckline on these onesies with the snaps placed in a diagonal line allow a much larger area to pull over the head vs our other onesies. The material is soft and the size seems to be right on!
This sleeper by Fisher Price was recommended by a friend that has a 1 year old. I didn’t originally have it on our registry but after hearing her reviews and online reviews, I decided to try it. Lincoln loves it. We used it in our room the 1st month for him to sleep in. It is nice and compact (folds up for easy storage or travel) and the cover is machine washable. It has rocking/music options but Lincoln prefers it still with non-lullaby music playing. He seems to like country songs off of Itunes! Plus we move it around the house during the day and he naps and plays in it which is convenient if you can’t hold him. There are also several retailers that sell similar versions with all different cover patterns/colors – so pick one that works for you.
