Everything now a days is either organic, Green, or ergonomic and we at Babyluxe enjoy keeping up with the modern, better for you products. Today, organic and ergonomic; an organic baby carrier, made with comfort and safety in mind. Little Aidan’s all time favorite way to travel!

Seth and Mark, designers of the Belle Baby Carriers, converted their knowledge of rock climbing safety gear into a safe, functional, modern designed carrier. Made of 100% organic cotton and hemp material, environmentally friendly dyes, Environmental Resin waist belt ring pad, and recyclable packing; this product is making headlines all over the country! It has personally made our 10 week old happy as a clam! I never have to worry about him fussing in public again! He falls right to sleep in his Belle Baby Carrier! It’s comfortable for him and me, beyond comfortable for him I would say since NOTHING puts him to sleep like this carrier!

The comfort of this carrier is simple, it distributes baby’s weight to your hips instead of your back and shoulders. For a younger infant, the waist belt can be adjusted to carry baby lower, a perfect sleeping position for them. As baby grows and can hold his head up, this carrier is also made for the forward facing position. And a “luxe” favorite: chic and hip designs and colors! Including two new Fall styles, Cherry Deco and Organic Denim.

Try one for yourself or buy one for a gift! Babyluxe readers take 20% off their purchase of a Belle Baby Carrier with the code mommies.

For many of you reading this blog, I am sure we cover a lot of new products that make you say, “Where was that product when I needed it?” Well, today’s review is one of those products! For all you pregnant ladies & moms of infants, listen up.

As so many of our feature products are, this is another that was born out of necessity. The Lily Pod was created as a stylish way to carry your infant car seat, while easing the strain that we all know it takes on your arm. Simply wrap the Lily Pod around the handle of the car seat, and the unique padding practically eliminates the intensity of the carrying handle on the crook of your arm! If you have ever carried an infant car seat {with the infant in it} for any length of time, then you just know how wonderful this product is!

Made from soft cotton, coordinating designer fabrics & trim, The Lily Pod is as stylish as it is practical! When your baby graduates to a toddler seat, use your Lily Pod wrapped around your seat belt shoulder strap to prevent it from cutting into your neck. You can also use it wrapped around your shopping bag handles to give yourself a more pleasant {and lengthy} shopping experience!

Bring a Lily Pod to your next baby shower, and prepare yourself for some major oohs & ahhs, not to mention “Where did you get that?” from all of the other guests!

The Lily Pod is offering BabyLuxe readers a special treat: 10% off AND free shipping, making them the most inexpensive you’ll find anywhere! Simply enter BABYLUXE at checkout!

 It’s a “baby wearing” world out there!  Everywhere you go you see hip mamas wearing all different styles and types of baby carriers.  I’m in the love with the carriers that are a bit versatile.  For example, can you breast feed and “wear”baby at the same time?  I can now!

With your carrier, can you wear baby in a nursing position, on your hip, facing forward, in the back, tummy to tummy??  You can with My Baby Nest!  This wrapless sling provides 5 carrying positions!  It’s made to evenly distribute baby’s weight for less pressure on mommy’s, or daddy’s, back and more comfortable support for baby.  The Baby Nest Carrier is the only carrier that gives full support to premature and newborn babies.  It’s the most comfortable bonding experience you can have!

Why switch from a regular sling for newborns, to a front carrier once they can hold their heads up, to a hip sling, to a backpack carrier, when you can have it all in one!  I must mention the fantastic material too; stretchy, lightweight, breathable, non-bulky, oh so comfortable!   My Baby Nest has one practical feature after another.  How about a carrying bag for better storage {small enough for the diaper bag}, and of course it’s completely washable!  Don’t sacrifice comfort or endure back pain or listen to baby cry one more minute, this sling is the answer to all your prayers!

My Baby Nest Carriers were honored with iParenting Media Awards 2008 Product Excellence Award

The search for the perfect stroller can be a grueling one {to me it’s about the same as car shopping}; especially a double stroller! Seems the more children you have, the harder it is to go out of the house {obviously}. So, either you never leave home, or you invest time and money into finding the perfect stroller for your family’s needs. Tots on the Go is there to help and fit your family into the stroller of your dreams!

I mentioned car shopping for a reason. You look for similar features between a stroller and a car: size {small or large family, single or double stroller vs. compact car or Mini Van}, safety features, maneuverability, accessories, modern style, price, etc… My point: you may use your stroller just as much or more as your car {now a days especially with gas prices so high} so take the time to pick the right one for your growing family. Tots on the Go has plenty to choose from, today’s Babyluxe pick:

The Valco Baby Twin Latitude Stroller.

Whether it’s the fully reclining seats for baby, the adjustable height handle bar for hubby, or the generous amount of storage space underneath for mommy, my family has enjoyed every aspect of this remarkable stroller. Tots on the Go states this is “the perfect go-to stroller for our parents on-the-go”! That is a perfect statement for almost all parents who have 2 or more children. The best way to entertain kids is to be “on-the-go” right? Feature after feature, this is one fantastic stroller! It’s a lightweight, narrow, durable, compact-fold double stroller, which is hard to find with a side by side. The easy reclining seats are independent of one another and are compatible with many name brand infant car seats. I love the extra large storage compartment, great for the mall!

I highly recommend this stroller if what you are looking for is an easy to use, easy to maneuver, easy to store, easy on the eyes double stroller! But no worries, if this is not for you, if you only have one child for example, I’m positive Tots on the Go has the stroller you have been looking for; including all your other travel gear needs as well!

 Tots on the Go will give a free Carry You Demi Milan {for a single} with the code BabyLuxeS and the Carry You Sicily {for a twin} with the code BabyLuxeT with your purchase.

Two MORE great products from our beloved Bumkins!

This is not your mother’s way of cloth diapering!

As a newbie to the cloth diapering world, I was in awe at all the different types, styles, and accessories that go along with the cloth diapering start up. Luckily, Bumkins All-In-One diapers came my way and saved me from “testing” all the others to find the perfect match for little Aidan.

One word to explain Bumkins All-In-One diapers: simple. The easiest cloth diaper on the market by far! Super absorbent, 100% cotton, with a waterproof exterior in some of the most amazing designs…fashionable style with diapers, how precious! No more plain white diapers here! {Needless to say my mother and mother-in-law will be amazed by these!}

If All-In-Ones are not for you, Bumkins has plenty of other choices for your cloth diapering needs so go check them out!

If that’s not enough incentive to check them out, maybe this will be!

Bumkins has recently introduced the new Grande Diaper Bag; today’s parents answer to the need of function and fashion. With contemporary prints, reinforced straps & water resistant fabric, this is one bag that will keep on giving, long after your diapering days are over.

And lucky for you, Bumkins is generously giving away one of their Grande Diaper Bags, chock FULL of baby essentials from their new organic Natural Collection! A $120 value, here’s what comes in the bag { winner’s choice of boy or girl } :

• Organic Washcloth 3 pack (9″x9″)
• Organic Hooded Towel Set (30″x36″)
• Organic Chin Bib 2 pack (7.5″x7.5″)
• Organic Swaddle Blanket (30″x30″)
• Organic Bib and Burp Cloth Set (11″x15″)
• Waterproof SuperBib 3 pack

To win, as usual, simply leave a comment on this post, about all of the new “natural” parenting options that Bumkins has provided it’s customers with. This contest will run for two weeks, due to the amount of vacationers & offline regulars we’ll have this week. It will end on Sunday, July 13th.

Where was this product years ago when I was changing my oldest on the bathroom floor at a car dealership while he was lying on my sweater??  I had an enormous diaper bag around my neck but did I have a changing pad or blanket in there?  Nope!  {I was young, lucky I even remembered the bag, even if it didn’t contain all the essentials.}  Now that I’m on baby #3 and acquired this must have luxury item, never again will their darling little “Tushys” touch a bathroom floor or public changing table!

TushyGear On The Road by Emily Sandberg is nothing short of a fabulous creation!  These hand sewn, washable, super soft and super  chic “totes” are the perfect solution when you don’t need to carry a diaper bag or your purse is too small.  It’s your changing pad, wipes, and diaper “gear” all in one!  Emily’s designs are unique; the product itself clever; picture yourself carrying TushyGear to the mall, baby will be so happy you did!

 Use TushyGear at home too!  We use our On The Road at the “changing station” in the living room {couch or arm chair, whichever is available}.  Or change out your plain white changing table cover for a soft and fashionable TushyGear At Home cover.  Also available, beautiful blankets and burp cloths made from the same exciting fabrics!

Now I know I have seen this product before, and I clearly remember loving it the first time I laid eyes on it. And just recently, I stumbled upon it again; so before I could forget about, I wanted to share it with you! Offered by the super cool, contemporary kids shop, Spunky Sprout, check out the dual purpose Blanket + Poncho, designed by Super Natural Baby.

It is textiles like this that make me wish I had a girl…

Keep the center opening tied together and use it as a blanket for the car, stroller or the ground. Rolls up for convenient packing and carrying! If this becomes your child’s favorite blanket, you’re in luck! Just loosen the ties and it transforms into a warm and cozy poncho. Measuring 37″ by 29.5″, the perfect fit for a sweet little girl, this cozy accessory is 100% polyester fleece, with 100% cotton trim & made in the good old USA!

Spunky Sprout carries a plethora of great product’s for a modern child’s lifestyle, including furniture, bedding, toys & games, clothing, baby care products & great gifts for moms and babes!

This feature is oh so perfect for my current situation. So, Aidan Jacob has finally arrived, almost a week and a half late, and I need to brag a bit…18 mins in the labor and delivery room!! NICE! As new baby grows, at some point I will need my hands free again for the other boys, my husband, the kitchen, the laundry, the dog, grocery shopping, you know…there’s no such thing as rest for the mama!

With the PujBaby Go Sling, my hands will be free! I’ll be able to continue to type these features with two hands, that’s an accomplishment with a “need to be held all the time baby” for sure! These lightweight, breathable {machine washable} slings feature trendy, fashionable designs; no buckles, zippers, or anything to mess with; easy and comfortable to wear, put on, and take off. Babies everywhere can now “ride” around in stylish comfort!

Most new parents know that “baby wearing” is the modern way to maintain life while soothing and comforting baby at the same time. PujBaby Go Slings help parents accomplish the day to day tasks while “holding” baby, giving him/her the snug fit close to mom they need and giving mom the sanity she needs to grocery shop in peace!

Well, summer’s about here & it’s time to protect your kids from the earth’s harmful elements. Yes, the sun! Like myself, my older son’s eyes are so sensitive to the sunlight, getting him sunglasses was a no-brainer. Then when I read this, it became clear that there was only one choice for baby shades!

Maybe you don’t have time to go over and read the imperative information on the Baby Banz site - so I’ll give it to you straight up here, taken directly from their site:

“Until approx 8-9 yrs old a child has no filters in the eye to block out UV light. You can actually do MORE harm to the eye if you put an inferior lens in front of the eye! Behind tinted lenses, the iris opens to allow more light into the eye; if the lens doesn’t protect properly, and more UV light gets into the eye potentially damaging the child’s eye.“

Often imitated, but never duplicated, Baby Banz are the standard for baby & children’s sunglasses and UV protection, with 100% protection against UVA & UVB rays. With a unique wrap-around design that is not only comfortable, but also practical {and adorable}, the glasses will stay snuggly on your baby’s face all day so you can spend your days enjoying the warmth, and not worrying about her precious eyes. For those who wear prescription glasses, Baby Banz are also RX-able!

So never mind those cute & fashionable sunglasses made to match all of your little ones’ adorable sundresses & swim trunks; go for safety & practicality instead, and get your baby some Baby Banz this summer! They come in a ton of colors & styles, with something for everyone! Baby Banz also makes UV protection hats, swimwear, new Wrapz Bandanas {shown below} & several other great accessories.
