Honest Review: MamaRoo Infant Seat

When something is really pricey you expect it to be worth the money that was paid for it. However, when it comes to the MamaRoo Infant Seat this is not the case. Now I will start off by saying that when this swing worked, it was pretty cool. I was adamant about having one of these swings, nothing would do but for me to have this ridiculously expensive infant seat. My In-Laws bought it for my husband and I when they came down for our son's birth. I was over the moon excited about this stupid swing. Within four weeks I would say the LED screen would flicker and the swing would stop swinging. The only way to fix this little issue was to unplug the swing for hours until it just started working again. I eventually decided to take it back to the store and get another one, I just thought that maybe something was wrong with that specific product.

After bringing the new MamaRoo home and plugging it in all was well with the world, until a few weeks later. Yes, the second swing went out just like the first one did. However, this time not only did it stop swinging when the screen would flash, the motor in this one was messing up and it wouldn't change speeds (it has five different speed options for the motions it makes). Then, as if all that was not bad enough one night it was doing it's little thing where it would stop swinging so I had it unplugged, and when I went to plug the swing back in so I could let my son swing in it, it sparked fire at me from the wall outlet. Yeah, you read that correctly, it spit out little fire sparks.

Needless to say the next day I was taking that swing back, for the second time. I decided to stop trying to give MamaRoo a chance after that and moved on to another brand of swings.

I really would not recommend the MamaRoo to anyone, I have heard of other parents who had issues with their MamaRoo Swings as well as experiencing the trouble I had with my own swing. Just save yourself the trouble and buy another swing.

Honest Review: Fisher Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle 'n Swing

Photo Credit: www.babiesrus.com Fisher Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle 'n Swing I originally bought the Fisher Price swing as a replacement swing for the MamaRoo Infant Seat I had, which I described my experience with in another post . I love this swing so much and so does my little boy! He is actually in this swing right now. This Fisher Price swing has three different way you can turn the seat (left, right, or facing forward) so baby can swing different ways. The swing also has multiple speeds so you can swing baby faster or slower. There is also a musical feature where you can choose between different sounds and adjust the volume as well. Another good feature this swing has is that it can plug into the wall so you do not have to worry about having batteries handy. The mobile that hangs above the baby moves in circle to attract the baby's attention, and it has a mirrored dome that the mobile is hanging from so that your baby can see his/her reflection. My...

Honest Review: MAM Anti Colic Bottles

Photo Credit: www.walmart.com MAM Bottles I decided to try the MAM Anti-Colic Bottles because they were recommended to me by a family member. I had originally planned to use the Dr.Browns bottles but I heard they were hard to clean at times. The MAM bottles can come completely apart which I really like because I can get in there and clean each individual part. These bottles also can sterilize themselves in the microwave if you put them together a certain way and fill it up with water (instructions on how to do this come with the bottles) which can be very helpful if you are traveling and cannot use your sterilizer. Another thing I noticed about my son is that he has a very wide mouth when he latches and the nipples on these bottles support wide latches. I tried him on other bottles with different shaped nipples and none of them really worked well for him besides these MAMs. The bottles come in 5oz and 9oz sizes and the colors available right now are purple, blue, and a yellow/...

Photo Credit: www.babiesrus.com Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer Incase you haven't noticed this about me yet, I like to use technology to my advantage as a parent so naturally when I heard about this thermometer that connects to your iPhone I had to have it. I actually have mixed emotions so far about this product. What I like: It syncs to your phone via Kinsa app You can add symptoms and get suggestions on how to best handle your child's condition It is east to use and set up You can easily keep a record of your child's past and present temperatures which comes in handy if you are trying to monitor your kid's fever You can buy a rectal thermometer attachment that plugs into your phone and reads the temperature that way What I do not like: It does not always sync The temperature always seems to read the same temperature no matter when I use it Ear thermometers aren't really the easiest to use on infants While I haven't use the rectal...
