Just in time for the upcoming travel season, BabyBjorn was kind enough to send us over a BabyBjorn Travel Crib to check out and review, as well as offer our wonderful readers a very nifty giveaway where 5 lucky readers will win their very own Travel Crib Lite!

The Review:

Ok, now this is cool. Right now we have a bassinet that doesn’t fold up real easy for travel.. it’s heavy and hard to break down and set up…  it’s not even worth the hassle of taking it anywhere with us.. so we don’t and end up regretting not taking it.

To put this travel crib to the test we took a short trip to a friend’s house for dinner. The twins always get tired before we’re ready to leave and always want to lay down and go to sleep.. it’s also easier for us to visit sometimes when the twins are able to just sit in one area and play together with their toys.

The BabyBjorn Travel crib weighs less than 11 lbs and is so simple to set up and take down it’s ridiculous! It literally took us maybe a minute to set up, if that.. same for taking it down. It’s so simple and lightweight, it’s definitely the perfect traveling companion for the upcoming holidays.. and we’ll definitely be taking it with us on our holiday adventures.

The Travel Crib Lite includes a travel bag, a mattress and a mattress pad.. the fabric is soft and both the mattress cover and the bed fabric can be machine-washed which is a definite plus for us because our current “travel bassinet” cannot be washed so it’s a pain clean. Another cool thing about the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib is that it will last you until your child is about 3.

You may cringe at the price, but if you like to travel and love to take your little one(s) with you.. this is a must have.. it’s definitely worth the price to me. Also, the mattress cover and all fabric parts that come into contact with your child have been approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 so you know it’s safe for your baby.

The Giveaway!

Gerber Purees with DHA also have 18mg of DHA per serving to help support brain and eye development and are an excellent source of either vitamin A (from beta carotene) or vitamin C – antioxidants that are essential building blocks of baby’s natural defense system.

We were recently sent 3 flavors of the Gerber’s DHA & Antioxidant Purees to test out on the flavors on our twins. Both of the twins loved each flavor, their favorite was the vegetable blend. They gobbled it up just like they did with the Gerber Yogurt Cereal!

We’re working our way away from baby food, especially the puree kind but once in a while I still throw a few in there. We always get the Gerber brand and we try to always get the kinds with the DHA & Antioxidants in it.  We’ve done this since we first started with baby food because we had heard such good things about it supporting development and being an excellent source of vitamins. Our twins really enjoy the flavors as well so it’s a win win.

This giveaway has ended.

Winners:

Thao says:

I have been feeding my 8 month old boys 2nd purees of veggies. We also make some baby food but they don’t seem to like the apples or pears we make but they love the carrots and sweet potatoes.

I would love to try this because DHA is so important for brain and baby development. I want to feel good about what I feed them.

Lisa says:

I usually feed my son Gerber 2nd Foods but haven’t tried the DHA & Antioxidant Purees yet…they sound like they are much more beneficial for my baby!

When my son was 2 or 3 we went to a restaurant to eat, He asked the waitress for fries with chocolate ice cream. The waitress asked him if she could put the ice cream on the side, he told her no, he was trying a new combination. It was hilarious at the time because how he said it in a cute little toddler voice, not to mention how he new what a combination even was.

We definitely have 2 Little Miss Sunshine’s in our house. Twin girls that are always smiling, laughing, and dancing. I might be having a bad day but when I hear them both coming down the hall yelling “MOMMY!”, I can do nothing but smile.
The one thing that made me smile the most recently was when one of them lost their sippy cup. They knew that they only had one cup so they passed it back and forth, taking turns taking drinks.
