Listen to your iPod in your car

Fri, 11 Nov 2005 15:30:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - The Belkin TuneCast II lets you listen to your iPod, PDA, walkman, laptop, or any other portable audio device with a standard headphone jack. It broadcasts FM radio, on a very small scale, so that your car or other FM radio can pick up and broadcast...

Video iPod = love

Wed, 9 Nov 2005 20:27:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - What is it? The 30 gig "5th Generation" iPod is a thing of beauty. For those totally unfamiliar with it, the iPod is a media player - meaning it will play sound or video files from an internal hard disk. Appearance This version...

Great choice for safety minded moms on a budget

Sun, 6 Feb 2005 16:52:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - After careful research, I decided to buy this car seat for my now six-week-old son. I've been using the seat since he came home from the hospital, and I had the installation verified by car seat techs. What is it? The Latch Loc is an...

Great jogger for parents on a budget!

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 15:52:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We decided that we’d like a jogging stroller for walks in the park, trips to the zoo, etc. A regular stroller just provides too rough a ride for anything other than street terrain. We also thought that maybe, just maybe, we’d actually jog with one...

Great stroller for walks down town - updated!

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 14:09:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We weren’t quite happy with the other two strollers we’d been using. We had one stroller from a travel system that did not fold compactly and one cheap umbrella stroller that was too short for us to comfortably use and didn’t exactly look...

Stylin' backpack that even daddy won't be embarrassed to carry

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 16:35:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - My husband is a stay at home dad. Since he was the one that would do most of the diaper bag toting,...

Euro Graco gives me lukewarm feelings inside...

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 14:58:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - What it is – The Euro Graco is a travel system – it consists of a base, a car seat/infant...

Not very magical to me

Tue, 25 Feb 2003 19:33:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We purchased Avent sippy cups, because we’d already invested in, and liked, the Avent bottle system. We then offered the cups full of water to our daughter, so she could play with them and learn to drink from them. She did learn to drink from the...

A useless purchase

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 20:30:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - I work full-time, and my husband feeds our daughter expressed breast milk while I’m at work. I thought I’d do him a favor by getting a bottle-warmer. If I'd have done it all over, I'd have done myself a favor and skipped this purchase.

Working mom, breastfed baby

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 19:47:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - I’m a full-time working mom, and I’m a breast-feeder, so I needed to find a good solution for my husband to get my milk inside our baby when I was at work. To complicate matters, I had a preemie, so she’d barely been nursing for a month before I had to...

cradle seat - good riddance!

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 23:49:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We recently bought a new car seat for our daughter. Her old seat was a cradle and base type seat, and since I kept forgetting to put the handle in the proper position for driving, I decided we needed something safer. We went with the Britax Roundabout,...

The genie didn't grant my wish

Tue, 28 May 2002 14:19:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - Oh, the things you learn as a new parent!

What is it

The Diaper Genie is a lined diaper pail that twists diapers into the lining to eliminate odor. The liner is a long tube of plastic trash bag like material, made...

For itty bitty baby bottoms

Wed, 22 May 2002 18:32:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We had our little bundle of joy a little earlier than expected. When our daughter was born, she was a whopping 4 pounds, and she was just over 5 pounds when she left the hospital. The hospital used preemie sized Huggies, and gave us a sample box to take...

Good model for those that like swings

Wed, 22 May 2002 14:03:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - What is it

The Fisher Price Cradle Swing is the replacement for the 3-in-1 swing. It is a battery operated baby swing that allows you to pick either front to back or side to side swinging motion. It has a soft toy mobile, and a...

Double pumping to Avent bottles

Wed, 22 May 2002 11:38:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - I pumped for six weeks while my preemie was in the hospital. She’s now five months old, and I work full-time and pump while I’m at work, so I’ve had quite a bit of time to analyze pumps and pumping products. My husband does use the Avent bottles to feed...

Very happy pumping momma

Tue, 21 May 2002 19:26:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - I had a preemie, and I had to pump exclusively for six weeks, so I got to know breast pumps very well. I also work full time now, so I pump during the week, and I produce enough extra milk to donate some to a milk bank. I own a Traveler, and I’m very...

Doh! They leak.

Tue, 21 May 2002 18:48:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - What are they

Kushies Ultras are what is known as an “All-in-one” diaper (hereafter referred to as an AIO). Traditional cloth diapers require a flat or pre-fold diaper, diaper pins, and some sort of plastic cover to keep the moisture...

Good but not great solution

Tue, 21 May 2002 15:51:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - We bought these diapers from a friend of ours.. The idea is great – an all-in-one type diaper that doesn’t have a plastic feel. However, they did not work as AIOs for us. They worked fantastically as fitted diapers with a separate wrap, though.

Better than the Genie

Tue, 21 May 2002 14:12:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - I already have a Diaper Genie. It was about the only thing out there like it at the time, and it works OK, but there are several things I don’t like about it. Now I wish we’d started off with the Diaper Champ instead. I got the Champ for my cloth...

Best baby shower gift!

Tue, 21 May 2002 13:44:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - A friend of mine gave me a Maya Wrap, and I use it all the time now.

It was hard to get started at first. The “cradle hold” seemed a bit awkward. I’m sure my daughter was fine with it, but it always looked like her head was at an odd angle...

A really good cloth diapering system - even for overnight.

Mon, 20 May 2002 16:12:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geekmom - Ok, I’ll admit the original reason I looked into these diapers is because I liked the name. I’ve been using Kushies, but my husband doesn’t like to use them. He has problems with the fact that they’re always sopping wet whenever he changes them (which is...
