We Talk Shop

We love the frog toy holder and how it looks on the bathtub wall. I especially like how many toys it holds and that you can hand a wash cloth from his foot — and that you can place shampoo and soap on top. This gadget holds quite a bit and keeps Junior’s bathroom organized!

We’ve had this up for about 7 months when it came crashing down. I think the glue just wore out, but I am hopeful that we can buy new glue and get it back up. I’d give it 5 stars, but will have to deduct one since it fell down.

Get it! Target carries it in the baby section, but you can find it almost anywhere you buy baby stuff. It retails for about $24.99.

Every time I say “I can’t live without [insert product name here]” I think, I need to blog. Tonight it was the Safety 1st bath seat. This is a great help at bath time with a baby who is at the in-between stage of bath time. You know, they’re too big for the sling/hammock-type infant tub, they can sit up unassisted, but aren’t quite ready for bath time without some device to help dear Mom and Dad. That’s where the bath ring comes in handy. Little one fits right in and can sit on his own, play and splash while Mom or Dad washes all his parts.  A friend of mine got this seat first and really liked it, but she commented that it’s hard to wash ‘everything.’ True, but a little extra effort from Mom or Dad gets all the parts clean.

A unique feature that I love is the swivel action. I can wash my son’s right ear, then swivel him around and get his left ear – all without having to twist my tired body all around.

I won’t give this product recomendation though without a warning — this is not a device to leave your in child unattended. Furthermore, if you’re easily distracted you might opt for just holding your baby in the tub or sink because you could easily feel overly secure with this ring. It does a great job, but as we all know, it’s not perfect when it comes to water and babies. I found some great added information about this seat too; it tells about which tubs you definetly CAN’T use the ring with. So, just be careful out there.

Get it! It’s about $24.99 everywhere.

Bathtime tonight reminded me of a recent product hunt I was on; searching for Gerber Grins & Giggles Foaming Bath Wash, Sweet Pea scent. What I love about it is the foaming part — it’s easy for parents to see how much soap is being used and where it is on the baby. It doesn’t run down the baby’s head, arms, etc. — it stays put and you can see where you’re rubbing it. Not to mention the fun-factor of watching soap foam. Hey, this stuff just isn’t for kids you know. Plus, equally great as the foaming action is the scent. Sweet Pea is just that Sweet Pea.

Get it! It’s under $4. It isn’t easy to find though. I’ve only found it at Babies R Us, and the Colonial store only caries it on occasion. On a recent trip out of town I stopped in a Babies R Us and found several bottles - I stocked up!
