Nuby Easy Go Suction Bowl and Spoon Review!

***I RECEIVED THE PRODUCT FROM NUBY FOR FREE BUT MY OPINIONS AND VIEWS ARE MY OWN***

From Nuby:

·         The Easy Go™ Suction Bowl and Spoon is perfect for daycare, travel, or any on-the-go occasion. The bowl is conveniently sized just right for dry cereal or other baby foods and features a suctioned base that keeps the bowl firmly in place during feeding. It also features a lid that seals tightly to keep food fresh during storage. The spoon makes a perfect travel companion because it snaps onto the lid of the bowl for easy storage. And because they are made from break resistant plastics, they are dishwasher/microwave safe and can stand up to the rigors of everyday use.

My Review!

As I have mentioned in the past - I am a first time mom.   I learn a lot through trial and error! ha! Nuby sent me this awesome Easy Go Suction Bowl and Spoon.  I absolutely love how the spoon snaps into the lid of the bowl!   I hate digging through my diaper bag and purse trying to find utensils when we are out and about. 

Baby V is now over 15 months old and really seeking his independence.  That means if I give him his food he wants the entire plate.  You all know how that ends - in a huge pile on the floor.  This bowl easily suctions to Baby V's highchair.   I love the fact that he can't dump it.  That being said - he still knows how to fling it from the spoon! haha!   This bowl is awesome.  I am going away with my family and this bowl is definitely making the trip with me.   It means less clean up for mommy!  I highly recommend it!  Oh, and I was really impressed to learn that it was microwave safe!!  Check it out - you won't be disappointed!

The Nuby Octopus Floating Bath Toy Review

***I RECEIVED THE PRODUCT FROM NUBY FOR FREE BUT MY OPINIONS AND VIEWS ARE MY OWN***

From Nuby: 

 • The Nûby™ Octopus Floating Bath Toy teaches coordination and enjoyment. This toy is designed with your baby in mind. This product exceeds all government safety regulations and standards.

• Available at these retailers:
• www.BuyBabyDirect.com
• www.amazon.com
• www.buybuybaby.com
• www.bedbathandbeyond.com


My Review:

Baby V definitely gets a kick out of this toy! He's a little younger than the age suggestion for this toy and had a little difficulty with placing the rings on the tentacles. BUT - he is fascinated by it. We played with it in his kiddie pool.  We will be moving it to the tub now that the weather is cooling.  He loves all the colors! He picks up the Octopus over and over again and throws it down to make a big splash. He also puts the rings on his fingers and waves to me. It's adorable. The ONE thing I would point out that bugs me - it only has 6 legs! haha! It's a sturdy and fun toy and I would definitely recommend it!

            Diaper Pail by Munchkin 

My Review:

I received the Nursery Fresh Diaper Pail Refill bags from Munchkin right after I had bought a box of the Diaper Genie refills by Playtex.  I couldn't wait to compare and test out the Nursery Fresh bags!

I paid $19.99 for the Playtex Diaper Genie Refills at Buy Buy Baby.  That box contained 3 refills and would hold approximately 810 diapers.   The box of refills I received from Munchkin has 4 refills and will hold approximately 1088 diapers.   Munchkin's website has the 4 pack of refills listed for the same price,  $19.99.

I took out one refill from each box to compare them.  They are pretty close to the same size.  The Nursery Fresh refill claims to hold 2 more diapers than the Diaper Genie Refill and boasts 7 layered film compared to the 5 layered of the Diaper Genie refill.

Now to test them out!   They work pretty much the exact same way as the official Diaper Genie Bags.  Quick and easy installation. 

They fit perfectly into the Diaper Genie.  

Here is a close up of my Diaper Genie with the Nursery Fresh refill installed.

So, the bags fit perfectly, you get more for your money, and I see absolutely NO difference.  If anything, they are better because of the extra layers of film.  We all know that babies are expensive.   I am all about looking for deals and better prices for ALL things baby related.  If you stumble upon me in the baby aisle at my local store you will see me with my calculator out figuring out what item is the best deal for my money.  I am currently unemployed so every PENNY I can save is huge!   I am very impressed with these bags and super happy at the price point.  According to the numbers you are getting space for 278 MORE diapers for the same exact price.  More for your money and a great product!  

Available in 1pk, or 4pk
