Itzbeen Baby Care Timer - Green
 |
Loved it till it broke
I absolutely love this item. Well that is till it fell off the back of the couch and broke. It fell three feet and now it's dead. I loved it while it worked though. It was so useful to help me keep track of when I fed my newborn and when I took my pain meds and my newborn was in ICU for a few days so I was pumping and it helped me keep track of when I did that too. I am thinking about ordering another one just because of how much it helped me. But not sure if I want to spend the money again if it is so fragile that any kind of bump will break it.Defective from the get go
I hoped to use this thing as soon as I came back from the hospital, so three days before my due date I got it out and tried to make sense how it works only to discover that any time I pressed the second button (the feeding button) the whole thing gets reset and blanks out. Taking the batteries out and placing them back again restarts the thing till the next time you press the same button. Well, given all time constraints and all you need to do with a newborn who has time to bother with mailing to factory and getting replacement, etc. I wish there was some option to exchange at Babies'r'us or some similar deal but alas -- I am stuck with a defective $25 + item. I do use it and make do using the extra star button as a feeding button, but I quite frankly am annoyed this has to happen -- a simple timer should not be acting up so early on -- not when it is priced as a minor mp3 player. Either save your money or order well in advance,try using it and take replacement steps before your baby arrives.Not just for babies...
We have this to use when our little girl finally arrives, but I started having contractions during week 32 and used this to time the legnth and time in between. It was really helpful to have the multiple timers going. Ended up having to go to the hospital to stop the contractions, but now I carry in my purse just in case they come back. It was a life saver!Good for "schedule" the baby
i had my son on feeding schedule every 4 hours since he was born and i did the same when my daughter arrived 3 weeks ago. with the itzbeen timer is easier for me to remember when it's time and when it's not, having so much to do in the house and with her big brother who keeps my hands full. it's a good help and yes, very nice baby shower gift.Must have for 1st time parents!
We got this as a gift and LOVE it. As new (first time) parents, it just gives you a few less things to think about. So helpful if your pediatrician is (like ours) adament that your baby eats every 2-3 hours (no more, no less). When our daughter is fussy, we can take a quick look at the timer for our first guess about what she needs. 99% of the time, the timer is right!! Get this and the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child" and "Happiest Baby on the Block" for new parents. All genius.Parents of Invention Ultimate Baby Wrap- Black

Great for babies and toddlers
Once you learn how to do the different types of wraps you'll use, this is such an easy carrier to use! I love the versatility of it, it has worked well for wearing my 4 month old nephew (sideways like with a sling as well as upright) in the front while babysitting and being able to still move around and get stuff done, as well as being able to wear my 25lb toddler in it in multiple positions (depending on what he wants). I wish I'd had this when my toddler was a baby! The only real con is that it will drag on the ground when you put it on so you have to consider that in your plans. Otherwise, it is very sturdy, comfortable, and easily cleaned. A good product for someone who wants or needs to wear their baby/toddler, it should last for the duration.My Favorite Carrier
This is by far my favorite carrier. I am a petite woman (5'0"), so I found that most of the traditional carriers do not fit well on my frame. I tried the Ergo and the Snugli carriers, but my baby did not seem to like the structured nature of those carriers. He seems to prefer this wrap, which is stretchy and soft and feels more organic. This wrap has really been a lifesaver for me...my arms were killing me from holding him! He is just shy of 20 lb at 5 months, so I really needed something that would help distribute his weight to my back and shoulders to give my arms a rest. The other thing I love about this wrap is that it's so versatile. Even my husband can use it without having to mess with adjusting a hundred different straps and buckles. Sure, it's not necessarily intuitive to figure out how to wrap it right out of the box, but it definitely is easy to do once you've practiced it a couple times. And I think it also feels secure without being too rigid. One caveat: all babies have their preferences, so I would suggest trying on a variety of slings, wraps, and carriers before buying any one of them. But this is the one that worked best for me and my baby...Fantastic baby wrap
I purchased this for my daughter in law who is 5'10" tall and might weigh oh 105 lbs soaking wet. She absolutely LOVES it. My granddaughter is 5 months old and Amy says that it spreads her weight out so that there is no pressure on her back even though she has a slight scoliosis. It was easy to use - less than 5 mins - with the dvd instructions and she is eager to teach me how to use it. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a baby carrier or wrap.LOVE IT!!!!!
I don't know what I would do with out this wrap. A little time consuming when my newborn was screaming to put it on. My baby was only happy if in this wrap, he is happy all day long in the wrap. For this price, you can't beat it. Has a pocket in the front great for putting a nuk in, mail, or cell phone. This is a must for shopping. Forget lugging around the infant carriers, especially when you have other children. Your hands are completely free!! Don't buy those carriers with straps, those are worthless!It takes a little getting used to
I have had a love/hate relationship with this baby carrier. First off, it is very difficult to get situated on your body. It comes with a video to try and ease the pain but it is still a little complicated to make sure that you have enough slack here and not to much there. The wrap itself is VERY long so you end up having to wrap the excess material around yourself two or three times (and I am not a petite woman). Once I had the sling on me and managed to position my baby it worked pretty well. I have really only used the forward facing method because the nursing position scared me (she was very young and it doesn't seem very sturdy) and she is either too small for the other positions or doesn't want to just stare at my chest. She gets a kick out of having her legs free to move around and still be able to walk with me and see what I am doing. HOWEVER~once she gets fussy and doesn't want to be in the wrap it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get her out within one minute (and that minute seems like an eternity when your baby is crying!) The wrap is so long and tucked in by the time it is secure that it takes forever to untuck it and unwind it off my body, and pulling her straight out doesn't work either because her legs can't get past the layers of cloth that hold her in without first loosening the whole thing (thus starting to unravel the mile-long cloth). Overall I would say there is probably a better option out there, but if you have the patience, this wrap is truely customizable to each individual body.Combi Helio DX Lightweight Stroller in Ember/Wasabi

Buy this stroller!!!
After using a wide array of strollers, we think this one really is the best. It has all the features we USE and NEED without all the bulk and weight of a traditional stroller. It folds up easily and barely takes up more room than the cheap, ten-dollar umbrella strollers. It only weighs thirteen pounds, and with the carrying strap on the back, it's amazingly easy to get in and out of the trunk. Opening it is a snap, it sort of opens on its own without any effort. The included bag is nice, I have a toddler so all I carry is a changing kit, Purell and some bandages w/ointment and hand/face wipes, all of which fit perfectly and either stows in the basket underneath or hangs from attachment points near the handle. Not having a parent's tray was no biggie for me, I added some accessories Click 'n Go Stroller Cup Holder, and Convenient Hook 'n Go 2 Packto attach if I need them. The handle of this stroller is taller than most, despite its compact fold, making it comfortable to push. I love that the child bar has a cupholder and another for a snack or small toy and opens on both sides or can be removed completely (for washing). The ENTIRE seat cushion comes off easily, to throw into the wash. The whole area around the child is roomier and more comfortable for my son, he likes to sit back and rest his feet up on the bumper bar. I really think this is excellent for the features and price, I only wish I'd bought one sooner.Lightweight but cannot carry much stuff
it is indeed very lightweight stroller. the basket under it is TOO small to fit anything. i suggest to buy hook which could be attached to the handle in order to hang thingsMADE IN CHINA
I bought this stroller believing I was purchasing a stroller from an American subsidiary of a European company since they advertise as "Combi, USA". I was beyond disappointed when the stroller came and the box read "Made in China". Shame on one more company for going to the dark side. I've since purchased a Peg Perego P3, on sale here at Amazon for $179, to replace the Combi, I did give the product 2 stars because the stroller works well and was easy to put together. I'm just extremely disappointed at having sent one more dollar to that ruthless government.HELIO EMBER/WASABI
The stroller lived up mostly to my expectations.Except the swivel wheels dont swivel so great. Otherwise I liked the cushioning and the lightness of the product.Combi Helio - Great Stroller!
Great stroller. Everything we needed in a lightweight. Closing it is a bit stiff, but once you get the hang of it it's great. Cupholder for the parent would be nice. Harness pads to keep the little one from chafing also would be nice.
