I saw this at the ABC Kids Expo and I’ve been meaning to post about it for some time. It was showcased in the new products sections and it’s won all kinds of awards. The
DaysAgo Digital Day Counter is an attachment made to fit all kinds of household products, including baby food in jars, freshly prepared food, expressed milk, mixed baby formula, and stored leftovers. It digitally records the number of days since the item was last opened. So you don’t have to guess how long ago it half-eaten jar of baby food was opened.
Their reviews have been great and you can read them on their website, as well as find info on where to buy.

The Safeway Gate has been rated number one for use at the top of the stairway by a leading independent consumer organization. The easy to adjust hardware has an exclusive directional feature that prevents the gate from swinging out over the staircase.
The gate offers the extra security of being permanently mounted, and the hardware is quick and easy to install. The Safeway Gate has the most flexible installation options for the top or bottom of stairs or doorways. The hardware also allows the gate to be quickly released from its mountings as desired. Adding to its versatility, the hinges can be mounted on most railings and angled walls. The mounting instructions include a template to eliminate the need for measuring tools. This gate offers the most flexible and versatile installation options. As a swinging gate, the Safeway will open in either direction easily with a simple one-hand adult release. It can be mounted as a swinging doorway gate or a permanent window barrier.
The Safeway expands to fit openings from 24.75 inches to 43.5 inches. The 30.5-inch high gate is great for children or pets. Available Separately: Model Number G24 24-inch Gate Extension for openings 43.5 inches to 66 inches wide. Only one extension per opening is recommended.

The chair that grows with your child!
With the Tripp Trapp® chair, Stokke builds upon the amazing, international award-winning success of their KinderZeat® by adding a super-safe 5-point harness and an optional Baby Rail, both of which allow your child to start using the chair as early as they’re able to sit up unassisted!
Incredibly stable, sturdy and stylish, this revolutionary children’s chair lifts little ones up to table-level so they can be included in more family activities. The ergonomically-correct design also makes it an excellent chair for kids to use while working at the computer or playing video games.
The fully adjustable seat and footrest allow the Tripp Trapp to grow with your child from tot to teen and all points between. In fact, the seat and footrest hold up to 300 pounds, so even adults can sit in it!
But one of the best things about this chair is that kids actually enjoy sitting in it! Unlike highchairs, which restrict kids’ movement, and uncomfortable “big person” chairs that give them no “floor” for their feet to rest on, the Tripp Trapp offers more freedom, a larger variation of movement, better circulation and a secure footrest.

Top rated for safety and ease of use by leading consumer magazines, it is no wonder that the SnugRide is the favorite infant car seat in America.

This model SnugRide infant car seat also has GracoPedic foam for luxurious comfort, an all weather boot with blanket for added warmth, and a double infant head support with comfy harness covers. Plus, harness straps that adjust at the front of the SnugRide infant car seat make getting your baby in and out of the SnugRide infant car seat even easier. And, when your baby is snug in their SnugRide, you can keep an eye on your little one thanks to the canopy peek-a-boo window.

$199.99
This was one of the biggest expenditures my wife and I made, right off the bat. We looked and compared to the Graco series of strollers and decided to purchase a Snug Ride car seat with the Aria for a stroller. Our motivation for purchasing: it was very light and easy to unfold. These two positives become completely overshadowed once you try to actually use the stroller.

First, the infant car seat was a pain to snap in. Second, this ended up being the hardest stroller to control when pushing. You have to keep both hands or the stroller takes a hard right or left when the wheels are not locked forward (which then necessitates both hands on the wheel to turn by leaning the stroller back). Long story short, save the money here as you will need it when you buy the convertible car seat. Don’t spend the $200 on this when you can get a Graco Quattro Tour for around $130 that works great. You’ll eventually be in a jogger and an umbrella stroller for about $20 that you will use for a much longer time.
