Graco MetroLite Stroller, Soho

0 comments

This is the absolute best stroller that I have ever used (and we have used a lot). Compared to our other heavy, bulky Peg Perego Venezia, this stroller is a dream. It is easy to assemble out of the box and ready to use. It is so simple to open and close and the latch keeps it closed so it can even stand up on the floor while closed. It is light and fits easily into the trunk of our small sedan. I couldn't fit an entire load of groceries in the trunk while the stroller is in there....but why would I bring the stroller to the grocery store?! It is narrow, and easy to pick up with one hand. The large, rubber, puncture proof wheels are awesome - we have walked through mud, and puddles and all over the place with no problems. It is like pushing nothing at all - totally effortless. The basket is large, the cups are great. It has 3 reclining positions which is very useful for an on the go nap, or diaper change. The 5 point harness is useful and actually works, unlike the Peg Perego Aria which slips out easily.

Overall, this stroller is a must. We use it every day, for walking outside (several miles a day) and at the mall, and the beach, etc. If you have been dissatisfied with other strollers, this is the one to get.Buy Graco MetroLite Stroller, Soho!

Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic

0 comments

We just recieved our Graco SafeSeat in the Rittenhouse pattern. Just thought I'd add two specific comments directed toward those shopping on-line.

1. We bought from Amazon partially because of the really great price (it seems to vary every few days, so keep watching) and the free shipping. Supposedly it was going to take longer for the free shipping-- 3-5 days for order processing and 7-10 for shipping. I placed the order on the evening of 3/25 and it arrived 3/28. Now that's fast!!

2. If you are a first time parent you may not be aware that car seats have manufacture dates. It is virtually impossible to find out the manufacture date from customer service agents (I tried lots of different websites), as the phone operators have no acess to the acutal product that's being shipped. It is on the outside of the individual box or stamped on the underside of your carseat if you're looking in the store. Lots of horror stories out there of online purchased car seats that were manufactured 3 years or more prior. Usually its not too big a deal, as most are thought to be safe 5-6 years after their "manufacture date". But if you are specfically looking for a manufacture date to ensure it is compatible with your stroller system or plan to use it again for another child later.. it may be more important to you. The Graco Rittenhouse we bought on 3/25/09 was manufactured on 12/23/08. Yea! Good work amazon! We're happy with our online purchase.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic!

Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial

0 comments

I almost did not buy a travel system because I was looking at a more versatile carseat, but my friends who have children talked me into buying this, and I am so glad they did. My son loves his carseat, he falls asleep in it all the time and I have never had a problem with his head getting cranked to the side like I have seen with some other carseats when the baby falls asleep. He has fit into it just fine, from coming home from the hospital to now, and he is almost 4 months and 16 lbs. It is a little heavy at first, but you get used to it once you get your buff "mom arms." The stroller is solid and had lots of little comparments to put your stuff in, like a sunglasses holder and we use the cup holders everytime. Underneath there is plenty of room for the diaper bag as well as shopping bags. The seat snaps right into the stroller and I honestly don't know what people who say it is not secure are talking about. This has been one of the best purchases I have made, and we couldn't be more happy with it!Buy Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with SafeSeat in Imperial!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe

0 comments

My wife and I recently had our first child. As her due date approached (Nov 7, 2008) we started shopping around for all the necessary products, including strollers and car seats. Once we settled on getting a travel system (based on various recommendations from friends), we shopped around at local stores for the right one.

We had always heard good things about the Graco name, so we compared the various Graco systems with the more expensive Eddie Bauer versions. This Graco system was clearly lighter than others, but it did not appear to sacrifice quality and durability. So, we settled on Graco.

Well, on October 9 (4 weeks early) my daughter was ready to be born, so I immediately ordered this travel system from Amazon (on my iPhone). We have been using it faithfully since we brought our daughter home a few days later.

The car seat is very well constructed and I feel comfortable that my baby is safe. The stroller is very maneuverable and the rubber wheels roll smoothly on asphalt and concrete. The system is kind of heavy and bulky with the baby in it, but I think that drawback is clearly offset by the convenience of an all-in-one system that will grow with your child and being able to keep your baby in the infant seat when you take him/her out of car.

In general, we are extremely satisfied with this product, and will continue using it when we have our next child.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide in Marlowe!

Fisher-Price Bath Center - Aquarium Ocean Wonders

I thought the sling on this bathtub would be great for my newborn. My baby hates it. The sling sags (Baby is 8 lbs) and the bump in the middle of the tub digs into his back. I always wet the sling with warm water before I put him in but by the time I get him into the tub it is cold already. Overall this just doesn't work for my baby. I bought a cheap sponge mat that works for now. I'll try the other functions of the bathtub as my son gets older. Buy Fisher-Price Bath Center - Aquarium Ocean Wonders!

Excellent performance of the product, is fast, quiet, comfortable, spacious, included a number bottles and the pump all at once. It has easy maintenance.

Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich

0 comments

I ordered this carseat for my baby when I was expecting because it just seemed the smart thing to do with babies coming into this world at 8+ lbs and 19"+ long! Well our little boy came into this world weighing 7.06 lbs and measuring 20" long! Most rear facing carseats only go up to 22 lbs and 22" long, so this was definitely a wise choice. He's only 13 days old and we have used the carseat on 3 occassions and so far so good! It's spacious enough so that he doesn't feel cramped or confined once buckled in. The downfall to that is that his head bobs a bit too much for me because the infant insert is still a little too big. We purchased an additional head support piece (not Graco) to resolve this issue. It works well... He was awake when he was placed in it the second time and he cried a bit but calmed down after he was all tucked in. The other times he was asleep and remained sleeping... The carrier is easy enough to remove from the base which is a huge plus. The colors are rich looking with a baby feel (the green), and can work for either boy or girl (I didn't know what I was having when I ordered it)...The straps are easy enough to adjust once you read the instructions. To date the carrier is not too heavy, but that may change once he puts on some pounds... Overall I love this carseat so far... If that changes I'll add to this later on.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich!

Graco Ultra Clear II 49mhz Baby Monitor

0 comments

My wife and I bought this monitor for our newborn son's bedroom, and we are highly disappointed for a few reasons:

1. Excessive Static: We live in a new 3-level home (lower/main/upper), and we found that both channels offered on this receiver have too much static. What's worse is that sometimes the static gets even louder and more annoying than the constant buzzing static we hear the rest of the time. The louder static usually comes from walking too closely to certain electrical fixtures, such as our fluorescent torchiere lamp. Other times, however, the louder static comes simply from the handset being in a bad location. We move it a couple of feet in a different direction, and the loud static becomes quiet static. Any way you cut it, there is too much static for our liking.

2. Battery Hogs: The one handset that works on batteries (the second handset arrived broken, and it works only with the A/C adapter plugged into the wall) uses them up way too quickly. With just a few days of usage (several hours of usage each day), the handset completely drains brand new Energizer batteries (4 AAA batteries required). I tried rechargeable batteries, and they lasted ONE DAY! With such poor battery life, this monitor should have come with an A/C adapter for BOTH handsets. Instead, it came with just one.

3. Broken on Arrival: Only one of our handsets worked on batteries when we first opened the box. Therefore, the other handset always needs to be plugged into the wall, which is highly inconvenient. That said, the mobile handset burns through batteries way too fast (see #2 above).

Even for the price, I think this monitor is a poor value. I would not recommend it to anybody. I have done a lot of research, and I have decided to return this monitor to Amazon and purchase the Sony 900MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor with 2 Receivers. It gets excellent reviews. In addition, it has 27 channels (as opposed to 2), built-in rechargeable batteries in both handsets, and 2 A/C adapters as standard equipment.Buy Graco Ultra Clear II 49mhz Baby Monitor!

We purchased this highchair for our grandson and we give it a 5-star rating. It is sturdy, easy to move and easy to store, and provides a cozy and supportive seat for our 6 month-old grandson. Once he is safely strapped in we have both hands free to introduce him to the wonders of eating with a spoon.
Pros: Makes all aspects of feeding safe, and easy. Table top is easily removed for cleaning.
Cons: Does not pick up the food and toys that our grandson tosses to the floor. Buy Graco Cozy Dinette Highchair, Broadstreet!

Graco Humidifier Replacement filter for 1.5 Gallon

0 comments

This is the cheapest replacement filter for our Hamilton Beach humidifier that I found. My only complaint(s) is that it does not say how often to change these filters nor does the packaging offer any advice on how to extend the life of these filters. It seems that they do not last more than a few weeks without drying up or turning brown. I guess that's normal, but neither the humidifier nor these replacement packages tell you how often to replace the filters.Buy Graco Humidifier Replacement filter for 1.5 Gallon!

Graco imonitor Vibe 2 Parent

0 comments

I got this monitor 2 years ago and it worked for a year and half. it worked great!! but by my second child, the batteries are shot, i can't take it more than 20 feet outside, it beeps all the time as if it were out of range, the static is awful from time to time, it loses connection each time i use my phone, and it pretty much just drives me nuts. BUT, on the upside, it is VERY VERY durable! one day it was driving me particularly insane by just beeping away regardless of where i put it downstairs. So in an admittedly immature fit of rage, i chucked it as hard as i could down the basement stairs and onto the concrete floor. now i may not be a softball pitcher, but i have a good arm on me! it flew into pieces. come to find later as i went down to do laundry, it had "broken" without actually breaking! it had just popped apart!! and lo and behold, i put it back together and it works JUST as crappily as it did before!!! but certainly no worse and not a doggone crack on it!!

We just received this Graco Quattro Tour Sport stroller/car seat combo yesterday.

1. In the picture it looks like the color is gray with cherry red accents. The color is NOT RED, it's actually a coppery-orange color.
2. When folded up, the stroller does not stand by itself upright, which many strollers these days do.

For me #2 was not a big enough deal to return the item, but I am a little disappointed.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone!

Graco Contempo Highchair, Rittenhouse

0 comments

We are very pleased with the Graco high chair and our daughter loves it. It is easy to keep clean, came with two covers and is very easily adjustable. The removable tray makes it a snap to clean and is very durable. The only negative issue we have seen so far is the wheels are a little squeaky when we roll the chair. Other than that, I would recommend the Graco Contempo chair as a good quality product.Buy Graco Contempo Highchair, Rittenhouse!

Graco Meal Time Highchair, Betsey

0 comments

We got this high chair for our son and have been using it since he was about 5 months old; he's now almost 14 months. I've never used the recline feature, and I haven't yet used the raise/lower feature, though I intend to. It's easy to clean, but takes up a lot of space front to back.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the greatest drawback is the mini-tray. I did figure out how to remove it (remove the footrest by turning the chair over and removing the 2 screws that hold it on - and then look up inside and remove the 2 screws that hold on the mini tray), but then you can't clip the larger tray on. So I guess it would be useful if you want to remove the large tray and the mini tray, possibly lower the high chair a little, and pull your baby right up to the table with the rest of the family.

This seems like kind of a silly oversight by Graco. It would have been really, really easy to make that mini-tray removable, and still be able to clip on the large tray. But they didn't. Otherwise, though, this high chair is working really well for us!Buy Graco Meal Time Highchair, Betsey!

Graco Baby iMonitor Multi Child Multi Room Baby Monitor

0 comments

With the arrival of our second child, we thought this would be a good idea, but we were wrong. The monitor constantly loses the signal and beeps. The room switch can be set for different times, but never worked right and as others have said, you have to wait to tell which room the noise is from. Forget going to a different floor too as the signal is just too weak. I would recommend buying two single room monitors and changing the frequencies as a better alternative than wasting money on this product.Buy Graco Baby iMonitor Multi Child Multi Room Baby Monitor!

Graco AirBooster Youth Car Seat in Cafe Brown

0 comments

I like the booster so far. Though I don't sit on it, I imagine it is quite comfortable. My 3 year old loved moving to the big boy chair. He hadn't sat in it for more than 5 minutes and he had already christened it! If I had gotten a cloth seat of some sort it would have been a big mess. This was the easiest clean-up imaginable. I would recommend also getting a seat protector from Lion Heart. What went straight through the chair was captured by this protector and was so easy to clean up. So, it was nice to know that the chair already paid for itself in ease of operation and clean-up. Along with the seat protector, it saved my leather seats. I imagine it will be considerably less hot in the hot Texas sun as well. A good buy so far. We got two!Buy Graco AirBooster Youth Car Seat in Cafe Brown!

Graco Lovin' Hug Open Top Swing with Vibration in Betsey

0 comments

I loved this swing from 1st sight as the colors were gorgeous and it had a higher weight limit than most. This all went away the minute I took it out of the box to put it together. It was difficult to put together as none of the pieces were marked and the directions were very unclear. Plus the tray did not fit securely and came off after several openings. Also the restraint is very flimsy. Buy Graco Lovin' Hug Open Top Swing with Vibration in Betsey!

I got this because I am due to have twins in April and thought it would be great for when I was visiting family and such. Now that I have the thing together I will probably never take it apart for travel. It was a pain to assemble the bassinets and while I can see that it collapses and travels well it is just too much work to put it back together.

This is one of the most cheaply made products I have ever seen. As other reviews have mentioned, they are so thin you can see right through them. They are also not well designed. My little ones do not stay perfectly still when they sleep. Unfortunately, pretty much any movement by the kids and the long sides come up over the pad.

I found some fitted sheets that actually stay on at [...]. The mom hand makes them, and she actually went out of her way to find a fabric that I liked. They are soft, stylish, and affordable. A much better option, in my opinion, plus I know I'm helping out another mom instead of some giant corporation!Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet Light Blue!

Graco Soft Seat Potty Trainer

0 comments

My husband and I bought one of these Graco potties at a store months ago for our 2 year old boy. We have used it without the splash guard (as many "experts" recommend) for his comfort and safety--just teaching him to "tuck it" down. The chair is comfortable for him (the seat isn't cold to sit on), and it's easy to clean. But when I went to buy a second one for our second bathroom, I couldn't find it in stores, so I bought another one that I thought would work okay. I took that one home to find that even though boys are pictured "using" it, the seat hole was so small, when my son sat on the potty, his private parts weren't even over the hole. I took it back for a potty with a more oval shaped seat--still too small. So, I realized we would just have to wait for this appropriately "sized for boy's parts" Graco potty to ship from amazon. And even though amazon said it would take at least 4 weeks to ship, we got it within a week. So we're happy.Buy Graco Soft Seat Potty Trainer!

Graco Quattro Tour Travel System with SnugRide, Marlowe

0 comments

We purchased this stroller system (in a different color) in 2006. I still love it. The frame is solid, the wheels big and turn easy, folds great and quick set up, not that heavy, and the snugride car seat is a breeze to click in and out. I love the huge basket bellow, and it drops down to make it easy to get things out when stroller seat is reclined or you have the car seat clicked in. It is a bit stiff at first and hard to drop...but the more you use it the easier it gets. And if you live some place that gets freezing temps (we live in Alaska) the plastic viewing window in the canopy can freeze and crack if left outside in the car too long (like overnight). Otherwise this stroller has taken a beating with the extreme temps and done great. Compared to other strollers it is a bit heavy, but that is because of the solid construction. I am 5 foot and do just fine with it. This thing has gone through grass, sand, gravel, dirt, ice, snow, North Carolina heat, and Alaskan winters. Now, it isn't a jog-runner with those cool go anywhere wheels...but this thing can hold its own just fine. We have a Honda Odyssey mini van and it fits just fine in the "trunk" with all 3 rows up with room left over for groceries. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Plus, the car seat is awesome. It clicks in and out of the base to stroller in a flash. Easy to install, easy to clean and has a great safety record.

Graco Lovin' Hug Open Top Swing in Bancroft

We just got this swing a couple of days ago. It looks like it would be really great if it worked properly. The motor just makes grinding noises for awhile and then stops even that after a couple of minutes. (yes, I have pushed the swing to help the motor get started, didn't work). I've been desperate enough for a swing that I have been just swinging it by hand and coming back to swing it again every-once-in-while. At least the swinging bars are balanced so that it will continue to swing for a little while. I think it might just be a bad motor so I'm going to contact Graco to see if they will replace it.

Graco Baby Einstein Discover & Play Activity Center

0 comments

My baby is 11 months old and I would say out of all the toys & gadgets purchased for him, this was by far his most favorite & put to use.
We received this as a gift when he was about 5 months old. He started using it shortly afterwards. It has helped him with coordination and muscle control. He started standing up better, and reaching more for the toys around him and was really fascinated by all the toys. He spent much time in this jumperoo. My son needed to be held a lot, and so this was our answer when we didn't want him crying and needed to get things done around the house. It made me feel good to put him in it knowing he was learning, and happily playing. We actually still have it up in the living room even though he's now standing and almost walking. He'll still stand up next to it and play with the toys. It has been an obvious favorite. Have not found any other toy that captivates him as much. Your little one will love it!!!

First, the only negative is what others have mentioned - the center bar. Our son is small and this has not yet become a problem at 15 months. I'm not too concerned about it as I think it will be easy enough to saw that out when and if the time comes.

That being said, I haven't seen a nicer high chair for the price. The removable tray cover makes cleaning as snap. It is very well constructed and looks great.

My sister recommended this carseat because she uses it for her daughter. She said when her daughter gets tired she can easily reach back and recline her seat with one hand. I've had another reclining seat, but it was a pain trying to recline it. This one truly is one-handed! My 1-year old son LOVES it and just lies there relaxed and comfy. It's a little bulky, but compared to other seats in the price range it's definitely a good deal. This is my fourth child and I've tried several different car seats.

Graco imonitor Digital Color Video Baby Monitor

0 comments

We just purchased this video monitor. Overall, I think its fine, but my biggest problem with it is that the quietest setting for the volume is still too loud for me! There should be an option to have just video and no sound. My house is small and I can hear that my baby is crying, so sometimes I just want to watch to see if she's going back to sleep. And, like others have mentioned, there's a two second delay. So when the monitor is on, it sounds like I have two babies crying!! I really wish I could mute it or at least turn the volume way down. I even put tape over the speaker and that doesn't help that much. The other problem I have with it is that it was a little hard to to find a good position for the camera because it didn't point down far enough. My husband and I ended up just taping it to the crib. The good things are that the picture is pretty good (if you get it close enough, the night picture's not bad) and the sound is crystal clear (even though, it's always too loud for me!). I also love how portable it is!Buy Graco imonitor Digital Color Video Baby Monitor!

I love this stroller. It's so easy to use compared to my other double stroller. It's not as lightweight as I hoped for but I'm completely happy with my purchase. I just wish I bought this earlier.Buy Graco Twin IPO Stroller in Navarro!

Graco Harmony Highchair in Abbington

0 comments

This chair was a gift to us when our first daughter was born. It works great as a high chair, I don't think it's that hard to go wrong there. However, it is huge!! It folds, but it takes up just about much space folded as it does unfolded. The tray is not sturdy at all. My 6-month old can kick it so that it falls off the chair! It also doesn't roll very well on carpet. I am now in the process of looking for a new high chair.Buy Graco Harmony Highchair in Abbington!

Graco Digital Imonitor Mini Baby Monitor in White

0 comments

After confronting the bewildering array of monitors at a couple of major retail chains, we settled on this model because of the small size of the receiver and the digital technology. We ignored video because a friend had a video model that just seemed too grainy to be of any use, and the signal was really delicate. (Besides, if baby's crying, doesn't matter what you see on the screen, you're walking over there anyway.) We also didn't feel we needed two receiver units since my wife is the only one at home during the day and we take turns with the night feedings anyway. We definitely feel we made the right choice. The teeny receiver is so convenient and we've had no problems with the signal, which we were a little worried about before we bought it, but that's more because of our past experience with various cordless phones and wi-fi routers -- it's always a crap-shoot. We've found that poor reception can be just as much due to the construction of your house, where you place the base station, and the number of other wireless signals in the air as it is the fault of the unit itself. We were relieved to discover that this monitor works perfectly in our circa 2005, 2500 sq ft, two-story house and coexists peacefully with our four-handset 5.8 ghz cordless phone and 2.4 ghz 802.11n wi-fi network (the bases for which are in the same room as the Graco, BTW). We were also surprised at how sensitive the microphone is; it really does pick up every little whimper. The only issue we have is that we had to crank the volume all the way up on the receiver. The charging cradle itself also has a speaker which gives you a volume boost as well, which is helpful and a nice touch. Battery life seems pretty good, and because it's replaceable I'm not worried about burning it out by leaving it in the charging cradle all the time -- I'll just go get another one at Radio Shack if I have to. All in all, we're very satisfied and we definitely recommend it. If the receiver were louder (insert "but it goes to 11" reference here) we'd give it the full five stars.Buy Graco Digital Imonitor Mini Baby Monitor in White!

Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

0 comments

We did some research on-line to find that this type of cool mist humidifier was essential in giving relief to an infant with breathing probblems.
Before it arrived , his parents had been using a pot of hot water on the stove to create humidity in a dry electrically -heated bedroom. This product is not only very safe but effective. Within an hour the baby was breathing
comfortably and everyone was much relieved. The product also shows how much water is still available, and has differet speeds. Thanks Graco!Buy Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier!

I have bought this product to replace the old diaper bag of my daughter. I realized it was going to be a waste of money about the size it looks...but it more bigger than seem on the web. Buy Graco Diaper Bag in Margo!

Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Halee

0 comments

We were not that confident with this car seat. Using it rear facing, it does not seem as sturdy as our old Graco infant seat. The fact you have to roll up a towel to level it doesn't make sense and we had to purchase a new headrest to make more comfortable, luckily because I just read in a review that the headrest was recalled. We usually like and trust Graco, but this seat has not been up to their usual standard. We will probably buy the more expensive Graco seat with better reviews, and lose money on restocking fee.Buy Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Halee!

Graco SnugRide 32 Base in Silver

Ordered extra base for hubbie, but after doing so, not really needed. The infant car seat can be used without the base as well, so the extra expense was unecessary; however, it is much easier.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Base in Silver!

Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington

0 comments

I purchased this stroller specifically b/c we were going to Disney World with 4 children, and we needed a stroller that was comfortable for my 9 month old and 2 yr old that was lightweight enough to go on the tram cars from the Disney parking lot. This stroller was perfect for that. My husband says I should start my own stroller store, I have tried so many different ones. This did the job needed. A few things that would make it better: snack trays instead of just the cushioned bar, a way for the pads to stay attached better (they slide down a lot); and even thought the steering was okay, it would be better if both the back and front wheels could swivel (only the front ones do.)
Overall, I was very satisfied. With a few improvements, it would be perfect.Buy Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington!
