Berlando Baby Blanket

I received the Berlando Blue and Grey Chevron Baby Blanket through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 32" x 26" 
• Soft
• 100% Polyester 
• Machine Wash Cold / Tumble Dry

The Berlando baby blanket is very soft and an adorable color. 

The blanket is smaller than the average baby blanket I use. 

For a stationary baby, this blanket is great. The blanket is very soft to touch. The white color on this blanket can get dirty easily, but the care instructions make the blanket easy to maintain and wash. Although, I would not recommend using this blanket outdoors due to the light coloring. 

For babies who role or crawl, this blanket is okay in a play pen where the child only has a certain amount of room to move around in. For on the floor, the baby is more likely to roll or crawl off the blanket due to it's small size. 

 Pros:

- Very soft

- Great for in a play pen

- Easy to wash

- Cute colors (Can be for boys or girls)

Cons:

- Size is small for a baby who rolls or crawls

Snug Baby Monitor

I received the Snug Baby Monitor through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Wireless 
• Audio & Motion Detection 
• Works with SnugCam App 
• Movable rotation by App or motion detection 
• 2 way audio 

The Snug Baby Monitor has good instructions to help you set up the camera. The monitor is easy to set up with the router and powercord. It works with the SnugCam App, which can take more than 10 minutes to connect it. The ID and log in information is located on the bottom of the monitor.

Once the monitor is set up with the App, one can connect the monitor using wifi to make it wireless. Using the wireless setting makes the camera quality more pixelated and delayed. The better lighting in the room with the monitor, the better the video quality is. It's not HD quality video. This camera doesn't work for all types of wifi. It worked on mine, but it doesn't always load right away.

The App allows you to set up motion or audio detection with the monitor. This will cause the monitor to follow the motion or audio. The monitor will also save a video of what set off the detection. The video will be saved in the messages portion of the app. Any photos taken with the cam will also be saved on the app.

The app allows you to adjust lighting, contrast, audio, etc of the monitor. The app also allows you to talk through the monitor from your phone or device. The audio is slightly distorted or unclear.

The monitor is nice, but the app is a pain. The app is always running in the background on your phone, wasting data, ram, and battery life. Even when the monitor is turned off, the app is still running.

Pros:

- Motion/Audio detection

- Video rotation

- 2 way audio

Cons:

- App is always running

- App can be difficult to set up

- Doesn't work with all WIFI routers

Baby Nook Tent

I received the Baby Nook Pop Up Shade Tent by ModFamily through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Great for outdoor use
• Easy to pop up
• Bag includes shoulder strap for easy carry
• Self inflatable and removable mat
• Lightweight 
• Fiberglass poles
• Flexible
• Durable
• 4 mesh openings for ventilation

The Baby Nook Pop Up Shade Tent is great for outdoor use or providing a play area indoors. It helps protect a child from the sun and keeps them from being on the ground or in the dirt. 

The Baby Nook works for babies, toddlers, and young children. Even small pets, such as dogs or cats, may end up liking the Baby Nook. My one dog refuses to get out of it when it's popped up. She thinks it's her new bed.

The Baby Nook comes in a storage bag that makes it easy to carry around with the shoulder strap or have the nook take up very little room. It's a good size to have stored in a vehicle or camper for when traveling.

The instructions are clear and easy to read. There's pictures to help indicate how to pop it up or close the nook. Although the nook claims it's hassle free, getting the nook down in size to fit into the storage back is a struggle. It takes me several tries to break down the nook when I have it popped up.

The Baby Nook has a dual sided zipper for the openings. If a young child gets closed up into the nook, they can get opened again if they know how to work a zipper. There's a mesh/screen layer and a solid fabric layer to the door. Either one can be opened or closed at a given time. The mesh helps provide air ventilation, but if it's too sunny, the outer layer can be closed to provide more shading.

There are windows on the two sides next to the door to help provide ventiliation in the baby nook if it's closed up. It allows fresh air to circulate and get through the tent like nook. The flaps do have ties to keep them rolled up and out of the way. There was a few less threads in the window areas with their covers.

The mat for the nook can be removed, deflated, and folded up to be stored. The mat is easy to get into the baby nook. Twisting the nozzle open allows the mat to self-inflate. It's not as cushiony as a blow up mattress or other self-inflating mattresses, but this mat still provides cushion and keeps a child off the hard ground. It makes them playing, laying, or rolling around in the baby nook safer.

The mat is durable, just like the tent part of the nook is. My dog was able to go into the nook with her sharp puppy claws and do no damage, even when she tried scratching at the nook's sides.

The only problem I noticed with the mat is that it came dirty. It looked like someone had stepped on it. It didn't take much to clean the mat off. Washing it down with soap and water did the trick. It was quick and easy to dry as well.

Pros:

- Helps provide shading

- Good ventilation 

- Dual-sided zipper 

- Lightweight

- Self-inflating mat

- Pops up easily 

- Easy to clean

- Durable

Cons:

- Loose threads around windows with the covers/screens

- Pain to get broke down or closed back into storage back

- Mat arrived dirty (but it was easy to clean)

Children 'n Us Stroller Organizer

I received the Children 'n Us Stroller Organizer through a promotion. 

When I first saw the images of the stroller bag, I figured it was just going to be a cheapy one that would break within the first few uses by the way the material looked in the pictures. I'm very pleased to say I was wrong. The bag's material is much thicker than it appears in the images. 

The stitching is done well. I had yanked and pulled to see if I could get it apart, but it held strong. There is also a thick cushioning on the main part of the bag to help provide protection to the items inside, as well as have the bag be able to hold up weight.  

This stroller organizer can fit a stroller, car headrest, or bike. The straps are adjustable, which helps provide a prefect fit. 

The middle part of the bag has a ton of room. Longer than a rectangle kleenex box and taller than two kleenex boxes put together. There's a zipper pocket in the main bag area to keep loose or small items safe. There's two cup or bottle holders on the inside of the bag. There's a pocket on the outside, which is perfect for a phone. There's also a pocket with a flip cover on the outside of the bag that is perfect for a toy or small blanket. There's also a thin, but long pouch on the backside of the bag, which is perfect for a wallet. 

This bag has exceed my expectations on it's quality. The bag is study with plenty of storage space to hold all the necessary items needed to be carried around for a baby.
