Bring baby home to some genuinely useful accessories, given the seal of approval by parents (and mini testers) As if having a baby wasn’t hard enough, knowing what to buy for your impending arrival is a hassle you really could do without. From Moses baskets to changing mats, nappy bags to buggies, everything requires extensive research and - in many cases – copious amounts of cash.

Best Baby Carriers 2017

Best Baby Carriers 2017 Babies love being held close to mom or dad, feeling the warm comfort of their chest and the gentle rhythm of their breathing and heartbeat. But unless you're Ronda Rousey or Mark Wahlberg, your arms and shoulders are going to get very tired from lugging around a growing baby all day. That's where the soft-structured baby carrier comes in! Each year, there are several new entrants into the baby carrier market, making it harder to make an informed decision about which ones are best for you and your baby. We took 17 popular baby carriers, some having been around for over a decade (like the BabyBjorn and ERGO) and some being relative newcomers to the market (like the Mother Nest and Tula), and put them to the test. They ranged in price from about $35 to $150, and in general price tended to correlate with quality. All of the carriers were purchased by us, we did not accept any freebies to ensure our reviews were honest and unbias

Best Budget Baby Carriers

Best Budget Baby Carriers   A $100-150 baby carrier not fitting you budget? We have been testing baby carriers for many years and have seen some great options under $50. Not great enough to get into our annual top 5 list, but definitely worth considering if you're looking to save some cash! Start with the Baby Bjorn, listed above, for about $50. But if you want something a bit more versatile and like the more comprehensive carriers, check these out: 1. Bebamour Baby Carrier.  This is an awesome hip-seat option, one of two hip-seat carriers on our list (the other is below). This one is super versatile, with 6 different carrying positions. It can be used on you chest, for inward or forward facing (3-36 months), on your back forward facing ("backpack position"), and as a versatile hip or front seat. So without the hip-seat it's a pretty typical carrier: you can use it as early as 3 months, and it supports babies up to 44 pounds. It has tons of aw

Summer Infant Travel Bed with Shoulder Strap

Image
Summer Infant Travel Bed with Shoulder Strap Why Shelly recommends it: Great for the airport and possibly even on the airplane. It starts out folded into a travel bag with a shoulder strap and bottle pockets on each end. Then, when you need a clean, safe spot for baby to stretch out while you await your flight, just unfold and the toy bar is already in place. What’s that? There’s NOT a changing table in the lavatory on your flight? No problem. This will give you a clean, workable surface with no-roll sidewalls to use either on the airplane seat, floor, or–if the toilet design suits–in the lavatory over the closed lid. Oh, right! And when you get to the hotel, you’ll also have a handy travel bed.

Snuggle Nest by Baby Delight

Image
Why Shelly recommends it: The very popular Snuggle Nest has been improved with new safety features, including ventilation through breathable sidewalls and an optional 1.5″ incline wedge to help elevate baby’s head–very helpful should a little nose get stuffy during your travels. Plays soft music or womb-like sounds and includes a convenient night light you’ll be glad to have when checking on baby in an unfamiliar hotel room. Cover can be removed and washed. What I don’t like about the new model is that the wrap-around bumper means it won’t last as longer for taller/longer babies, and the new “vented” side walls actually look less breathable than the earlier mesh used. Still, for travel with a swaddled infant, this may be just what you need. Open dimensions are 17.5 x 6.5″ x 18″. Folds in half for travel. Weighs 3.5 lbs.

The Peapod Plus Travel Bed

Image
The Peapod Plus Travel Bed Why Shelly recommends it: The Peapod Plus can be used from infancy well through preschool, and includes a lightweight sleeping bag. In addition to the UV mesh found in the smaller Peapod, the Plus also has roll-down nylon sides for added wind protection. Other differences: The poles used in the Plus are thinner and more lightweight than the very heavy-duty ones used in the original above, keeping its weight down, but at the cost of some stability (if you have rowdy rompers in the house, you may prefer the original Peapod). Travels at 19″ diameter and 6.5″ thick in its carrying case. Unfolds to 52.5″ x 34″ x 25″.

BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light

Image
BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light Why Shelly recommends it: At 11 lbs. it weighs a little more than Phil & Ted’s full-size travel crib, costs around $100 more, does not include a zipping cover, and you probably won’t be able to use it as long (it also doesn’t offer the unzipped side self-access for older children). That said, the BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light is worth it to some parents for the 1-minute (or less) set-up time, space savings when folded and set-up, and eco-certified softer fabrics–every bit of which can be gently washed in the machine. In theory, the BabyBjorn Travel Light can be used for newborns up to around 3 years old (older children may be happier with the longer mattress of the Phil & Ted or Peapod Plus, both of which they can freely come and go from when they’re ready). Measures 32” x 44” x 24” set up, and is 19″ X 24″ X 6″ packed in its travel case. Find it online at:   Amazon.com The Peapod Travel Bed Why Shelly recommends it:  baby

RoadSide Assistance in the USA

RoadSide Assistance in the USA Hello everyone me and my now wife are shipping our VW 1972 T2 Bay Window Camper van over to Baltimore, Maryland. As you know old VW's are not the most reliable things around so we wanted to get some roadside assistance just in case. We are starting in Baltimore and sort of doing a loop around America and ending back in Baltimore to ship it back to the UK. We rang AAA but they said because we don't have an address they cant do it for us. We have managed to get car insurance out there and they put their office as the address for us but when we suggested that to AAA they said they couldn't do that, also they said they only cover 14 states or something along those lines. Does anyone have or know of any companies that let Non-residents become members? Please help we get there on the (American dating) 03/06/2017 and pick up the camper the day after. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. This is our honeymoon and I want it t
