$3.99 for 4 sippy cups

Eli’s sippy cup collection was really looking bad. So, I went online searching for replacements and came across these great cups. I got them in the mail yesterday and really like them! They are only $3.99 for 4 on Amazon.com! with free shipping!

Pros:
The price is exceptional less than $1 each (not a big deal if they gets lost or misplaced)
I held the cup upside down and the only way it leaked was if I squeezed it
No nasty valves that have to be washed and assembled
They are a really good size for a toddler (10 oz)
The colors are really pretty and not very gender specific
They are sturdier than most toss and go sippy cups
I like that the lid screws on (I’ve had a problem with lids coming off lately)
BPA free
Dishwasher safe

Cons:
Really the only con I can think of is that they don’t have one of her favorite characters on them, but then again that changes every couple of days, so that’s probably a good thing ;-)

Fisher Price Laugh and Learn My Pretty Learning Purse Reivew

 

In our household and in the only other one where I have seen this Laugh & Learn Purse used, it has been a huge hit. As I am writing this, my 1.5 year old daughter grabbed it and started zipping the zipper back and forth laughing out loud as the purse giggled. This seems like a perfect gift/toy for a 1 year old girl. My daughter's used it for 6 months and it has held up and she still loves it.

This purse comes with some fun accessories including money, mirror, lipstick, bracelet, and keys. My daughter spends probably an hour each day taking these items (and many others that she's added to the collection) out of the purse and putting them back in.

Her favorite part, is that each time you open the purse or zip the zipper it will play a song, make a noise, or talk about what is going on depending on which of the 3 options you have selected. There is also a silent option, which is a welcome feature after a while.

Britax Advocate 65 CS Convertible Car Seat Review

 

I am comparing it to my inexpensive Graco Sport convertible carseat. 


Pro's: 

- Britax safety history (side impact cushion technology...watch the video on the Britax site) 
-Britax reputation 
-Soft plush fabric 
-Overall comfort 
- Side Impact Protection (including side impact cushion technology) 
- Push-button latch connectors (makes installation a breeze) 
- Versa-tether (this was much safer than the Graco one I purchased. It can also be used in vehicles that don't have an anchor for a versa tether 
- Easy harness adjustment no re-threading necessary 
- Easy to recline (this is a great feature and something my previous car seat didn't have. When my daughter falls asleep, or becomes tired I can just recline it) 

- Britax website provides manuals and video installation guides 

Con's: 
- High price 
- The manual is difficult to understand for installation, but the website has great videos. 
-Fairly large size 
-Difficult to recline 
-I don't know if it is because I am not used to this car seat yet (had it about 3 months), but for some reason it take me longer to get my daughter in and out of it than it did my Graco seat. 
-No cupholder 
-The crotch strap is far back and I find myself constantly digging for it. 

-For about 5 months we had issues with my daughter getting her arms out of the straps.

All in all, I don't think the cost outweighs the benefits of this fancy car seat.
