Rugged Idea - A Blanket With No Boundaries

We have found yet another "Parenting Essential" for you - the Rugged Idea Blankets. These awesome blankets are made from Rip-Stop Nylon and Fleece - making them durable, cozy (yet lightweight), and water/wind proof! They come in 3 sizes: small (changing pad), medium (perfect for your stroller) or large (great for a double stroller).

We own the Rugged Idea Medium sized Blanket and absolutely love it! It has ties, so that it can be tied to our stroller in a moments notice, and is lightweight and compact enough that we can carry it with us wherever we go! It has gone to the park with us, watched fireworks with us (we sat on it), and covered our legs when we got chilly.

Fall is approaching, and the possibilities are endless! Cover a stroller so your little one is blocked from the wind/rain and warmth is locked in. Or, use it when wearing your baby to help protect your little one from the elements. Use it to sit on in the park, to cover up infant carriers, or as a mat to play on in public places.

These blankets are great - no matter the season, no matter the activity - and are a new favorite for us!

Potette plus

Summer is here - and so are long road-trips, sports games, camping, and boating - all of which can put a damper in pottying, whether trained or not. There are a lot of options out there for mini potties, and even training potties, but most make it hard to travel with and stow discreetly when not in use (who really wants an extra potty just laying in the floorboard - regardless of how many times Dora's face appears on it or how vigorously you scrubbed it clean??). Here's a new option for you, though: 2 in 1 Potette plus by Kalencom.

The Potette plus has a contoured seat and a sturdy, balanced base which will help your child feel comfortable and secure (meaning he/she will actually use it). The lightly scented liners can be secured to the potty and will hold up to 5 ounces of liquid. When finished, just tie the handles together and discard the liner (much like a disposable diaper). Simply wipe down the seat, fold it up, and it can fit in your purse/diaper bag/beach bag or under a car seat.

At home, this nifty seat can transform into a trainer seat for the "big potty." Simply fold the "legs" so they are completely out and a click is heard. Position the seat towards the front of the adult potty, and you're good to go - the nonslip legs will ensure comfort and stability.

Potette plus would be a great choice while you're out and about. And hey, I can think of more than one occasion where I wished I had one handy...for me.

It should be noted that the seats are good for 50 lbs and under. If for some reason you find yourself in need of a bathroom...and fast...please just keep that in mind. (Don't say I didn't warn you...)
