Shopping Cart Hammock

Shopping Cart Hammock

Our favorite comment from this testing period was: Whoever came up with the idea for the Binxy Baby shopping cart hammock is a GENIUS!! Do we need to say more? Of course we do so here goes. Weve all seen the parents who clip their babys car seat to the top of the shopping cart.

Looking for ideas to occupy, entertain and even educate your kids during those lull periods when they are complaining about being bored? Banish Boredom is full of suggestions for parents that they will enjoy as much as their kids.

B.F.F Onyx Collection Diaper Bag

It’s not often you hear a diaper bag line referred to as “awesome” but that seemed to be the consensus for Ju Ju Be’s B.F.F. Onyx Collection. Right up front let’s say that the B.F.F. is a high ticket item and thus not for every budget. However, for the money you will get a bag

They learned how the

Roving Cove Safe Edge Cushion

Sky Jungle

Sky Jungle

We think we have found the answer to your child’s stuffed animal overpopulation. If you have kids, chances are you also have stuffed animals everywhere.

They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.
