Not only will your child have fun with this scooter but it also makes exercise fun and helps build confidence and coordination. The “Mini Kick Scooter” has a unique lean-and-steer design that enables kids to use their body weight to effortlessly guide their direction as well as a low-to-the-ground flexible footboard to help with control and stability. There is also a reinforced brake, stronger U-bar, and a new locking pin for easy handlebar removal.

The first thing I wanted to check out was how safe the scooter was. Like any mom, I wouldn’t want my child riding anything that wasn’t safe so after checking out the Mini Kickboard Scooter I can safely say it’s safe. Probably one of the sturdiest scooters I’ve seen in a while.

I also like the fact that the scooter deck is large enough for kids to put both of their feet on. With most scooters there isn’t much room on the deck so kids aren’t really able to enjoy the ride. Since the deck of the Mini Kickboard Scooter is bigger, kids can go from pushing to enjoying the ride very easily.

Overall I think this is a great item to have around for the kids. The Mini Kickboard Scooter is safe, fun and very well made. Definitely a must-have for the summer when kids like to play outside and go to the park.

Oh and moms.. it’s lightweight making it very easy to handle and travel along with you wherever you go!

The Mini Kickboard Scooter can be found at kickboardusa.com and select retailers.

I love being a product reviewer for Mom Fuse because I always get the opportunity to try out neat products! When Nicole from Mom Fuse told me I was going to have the opportunity to review a product from Kelty, I was really excited. In the summer, my family loves to go camping, biking, hiking, etc., so Kelty really fits in to our type of lifestyle.

I had the chance to review one of Kelty’s backpacks: the Redwing 2500-W. This backpack is made especially for women and is great because of it’s versatility. It is made to be used not only for hiking but for everyday use as well. In Kelty’s words, this pack can easily be used “from the trails to the subway.” Kelty designed this backpack to be loaded with options while keeping it as comfortable as possible. They have done this by insuring it is lightweight (2 lbs, 15 oz.) and by adding an internal frame that better supports heavier loads. In addition, Kelty has provided a padded back panel and shoulder straps, in addition to a ventilating back panel, shoulder straps, and waist belt. Because a day hike usually means sweating is inevitable, thankfully this backpack includes a wicking back panel. Finally, to make life easier, Kelty has also included several compartments for storage in this backpack.

When I received the Redwing 2500-W, the first thing I noticed was it’s size. From the picture online, I expected the backpack to be quite a bit smaller than it actually was. The Redwing 2500-W measures 21” in length, 16” in width, and 13.5” in depth. The size of this bag makes it perfect for carrying all the items necessary for a daylong outing. While testing out this bag, I packed all the things that I think we would need on a day trip. I packed a couple of extra pairs of clothes, a summer jacket, a lunch bag, and two water bottles. After packing all of this, I noticed that there was still tons of room left over! Not only that, I realized even after packing it, how much lighter this bag was overall compared to others I have used in the past.

One thing I really liked about the Redwing 2500-W, was how easy it was to carry. Kelty makes this bag comfortable to carry on your back by including adjustable and padded S Shaped shoulder straps and a Scherer Cinch™ waist belt. I really like that the waist belt on the Redwing 2500-W can be removed easily anytime I want. This aspect makes the bag easier to use when I am going to or from work or school and don’t need the extra support that the waist belt offers. Additionally, throughout the pack you will find several straps that allow you to stabilize and distribute the weight of your pack evenly. In addition to carrying this bag on your back, Kelty has also added a carry handle on the front of the bag to make transportation a bit easier (I love this feature). The only issue I had when carrying this bag is, when I had both the waist belt and the shoulder straps on and the sternum strap buckled, the bag was lifting slightly off my shoulders. I am assuming there must be a way to fix this, but I was not able to figure it out. I will have to investigate the issue a bit further.

My absolute favorite part of the Redwing 2500-W is all it’s compartments. This bag literally has a compartment for everything! This backpack has one main compartment (with organization features), a second front compartment (with several additional organization features – including a key fob), and a zipper in the front of the second front compartment which is perfect for storing your wallet, jewelry, etc. Then, on both sides of the backpack, there is a zippered side pocket and a mesh water bottle pocket. When using this bag, I preferred using the zipper side pocket for my water bottle and the mesh water bottle pocket for small snacks, such as an apple. I think the zippered side pockets are a perfect size for either a standard size water bottle or an 18 oz. Stainless Steel Canteen. In addition to all the compartments in this backpack, there are also several loops, straps and buckles. These are great for hanging gear, such as your keys, a compass, or an additional water bottle. Finally, I like that this backpack is compatible with a hydration pack. This feature makes it ideal for those long hikes!

In conclusion, after having a chance to evaluate the Redwing 2500-W, I think it is a perfect option for both the occasional or frequent hiker. This backpack seems well made and will likely last for quite a long time. All the aspects that I have mentioned above, in addition to the suggested retail price of $99.95, make the Kelty Redwing 2500-W a great choice for everyday or occasional use!

Here’s what Mom Fuse “Mommy Reviewer”, Latricia from 1StopMom, had to say about Aqua Joe…

Aqua Joe Review

It is not always easy for me to drink water. Sometimes I just want something with a little flavor to quench my thirst. This usually happens when I am out and about. At the Zoo, park, library or playground. I like to add powdered mixes to my water but it can get pretty messy if you do not have one of those little packets. At home I usually have to pull out a funnel but I don’t want to carry a funnel around all the time.

There is this great product that makes it easier called Aqua Joe. When it came in the mail I hurried and filled it up with my favorite powdered drink mix, lemonade! Aqua Joe holds 3 tablespoons of powder. It is really easy to use too. I scooped up my lemonade and turned the scoop and it was sealed. It definitely made adding my lemonade mix much easier and guess what? I didn’t make a mess! I can even use it with one hand.

What is really cool about Aqua Joe is you can use it for more than just flavoring water. It can be used with:

• chocolate milk powder
  
• breakfast drink mixes
  
• powder infant formula
  
• sport drink mixes

Aqua Joe has some wonderful features:

• fits easily in your pocket, purse, locker
  
• encourages the use of tap water
  
• re-usable
  
• eco friendly
  
• makes it easy to control the strength of your drink
  
• compatible with baby bottles, water bottles, sport bottles, juice containers and milk cartons
  
• includes a carrying clip

Aqua Joe can be used wherever clean water is available. I am sure my family will be getting a lot of use out of this. My husband is already talking about using it for fishing. I just wish the caps came in different colors. That would make it easier to keep the kids’ mixes seperate from mine.

Interested in buying your own Aqua Joe? Visit the Aqua Joe website.

Thanks to Mom Fuse and Aqua Joe for the review opportunity.

I think this is such a great item. The top and the bottom of the bottle actually come off and can be used as cups. They’re easy to remove, you just slide them off. So if you forget to pack cups your safe! This would be great to take to sporting events or even camping, my husband takes it to work with him so he can have his coffee.

I really like how it holds the temperature of your drink, whether it’s hot or cold, and that it holds a large amount of fluid. With most of our other thermoses it would only keep the temperature for a few hours but the Primus bottle kept the temp all day long. I also like the slim unique design!

The only downfall I found was that there is no handle of any kind so it would be kind of hard to keep in your hands if you were hiking, hunting, etc.

I think that most people are familiar with the traditional game of Finger Football.

You know the game you played in school when you fold up a piece of paper into a football and flicked it across your desk into the goal.

Well ZELOSPORT has taken the game to a whole new level.

Tonight my son and I had the opportunity to play with the Finger Baseball game that they produce. It was a blast. The rules were easy for me to understand with no baseball knowledge at all.

The set up was easy and fast. After just seconds we were already in the third inning!

I think this timeless game will be around for many years. It is great for all ages.

They have several different games to choose from. Along with the Finger Baseball game, there is also Football, Soccer, and Golf to choose from. So you can see that there is something for everyone. And please don’t think this is just a kids game. This is a game for all ages.

The Zelosport Finger Sports games were chosen as the 2007 Toy of the Year by Family Fun Magazine.

To see for yourself what the big deal is, watch the games in action!

Well, I had the opportunity to review this double sleeping bag by Kelty and I can’t wait to actually use it when my husband I go camping this summer! As you may know, I live in Illinois and right now it’s winter so there’s no chance of us going camping.. especially with 6 month old twins! So last night my husband and I “camped out” in our living room! Yes, I know this may seem crazy, but it was fun and even kind of romantic. We even turned off all the lights and lit a few candles so we had that campfire feeling.

My husband and I brought down a few pillows from upstairs and snuggled up on the floor in the Kelty Eclipse Double Sleeping Bag. There was plenty of room for the both of us to be comfortable. The sleeping bag seems very durable. There’s a hidden pillow pocket included in this stylish design along with an external storage pocket on the chest. This is a very cool sleeping bag. I love it and really can’t wait until summer/fall when we do get the chance to really go out and do some camping.

Bag Features:

• Two-layer, offset-quilt construction
• Two-way locking blanket zipper
• Zipper draft tube with anti-snag design
• Zippered foot vent
• Double-wide size can be separated into two individual bags
• Bag can be unzipped and opened flat for use as a blanket
• Pillow pocket
• External storage pocket
• Internal liner loops
• Roll-up straps
• FatMan and Ribbon™ drawcords
• Captured cordlock
• Differential cut to maximize loft and warmth
• Storage sack included
• Comes in a display box

Callout Features:

• Insulation: Kelty CloudLoft
• Liner material: polyester-cotton
• Pillow pocket
• External storage pocket
• Double-wide size can be separated into two individual bags
