Star Kids, Snack & Play Travel Tray Is Perfect For Holiday Traveling!!!

starkidslogo

The day before Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year!  If you are traveling over the river and through the woods by car, boat, plane or train with kids, bring lots of activities.  Little ones have a harder time gauging the time it takes and lucky us if they are great sleepers in the car, but we are sure to hear at least 10 “Are we there yet?” questions. Having fun things they can do in the car can eliminate at least 5, maybe even 6 of those.

The Snack & Play Travel Tray is ideal for traveling and it is perfect to use with your car seat, on airplanes and even strollers.

The Snack & Play Travel Tray is made of a soft, durable, 100% nylon that is easy to clean.  The tray easily buckles around the child or stroller, has large mesh storage pockets for all their toys and books and a 2 inch wall to stop things from rolling off the top and falling.

Choopie CityHooks and CityGrips Stroller Accessories Review & Giveaway!!! 3 Winners!!!

choopie logo

Although spring started about 2 weeks ago, we still haven’t seen it for more than a fleeting day in New York.  With April starting in about 24 hours, I am taking comfort in knowing that it has to arrive sooner or later.  I truly hope it’s sooner because I love to walk in the spring.

If you like to walk and enjoy taking your little ones along in a stroller you have probably found that you just cannot remove the handlebar cover that comes permanently attached to your stroller to wash it.  Considering we are touching it all the time, it’s easy to get soiled, sweaty and worn.  CityGrips are neat little covers to put over the stroller handlebar from Choopie that add function and flair.  CityGrips attach securely with velcro and remove just as easy so you can machine wash and dry them when necessary, that really appeals to the germaphobe in me.

City Grips are available in great colors, prints and patterns and 2 styles for double or single handlebars.  I found it super easy to attach the black polka dot print which is one of the new designs for 2014, to my Stokke Scoot handlebar.  I like that I can just take them off and throw them in the washer to keep the handlebar much more sanitary.  An added benefit is that it really makes the otherwise black handlebar look sharp and stylish.

Another important accessory that I must have, is some type of hook or hooks so that I can attach bags, diaper bags, my purse and more easily to my stroller.  Choopie has great hooks called CityHooks and they attach quickly, easily and securely to the handlebar of any stroller, wheelchair, car seat and more with snug fitting velcro straps.  The hooks swivel a full 350 degrees and the open hook design make it easy to slip bags on and off.  I love that with these hooks we are ready for all the little extras we need to tote on outings and they’re perfect for shopping to hold bags.

Stokke Scoot™, Urban Compact Stroller Review & Giveaway!!!

Stokke Logo

Stokke®  is a brand we love at Mommy Ramblings.  We have 3 of the Tripp Trapp® high chairs and they are not only for our 2 youngest little ones, but you will find adults of all shapes and sizes choosing to sit in them.  Truly, it is a quality brand and one I feel is worthy of sharing with others.  With 5 kids I have been through my share of strollers.  I feel a stroller is something where quality cannot be compromised, since it involves the safety of your child and cradles their developing bodies.

A stroller also needs to have features that make it parent friendly as well.  Cup holders, adjustable height handle, ease of use, weight and ability to maneuver well are so important.  The Stokke® Scoot™ has you covered with all of these areas and so much more.  I was blown away by the amount of features and extras included with this stroller as I have other high-end strollers which did not include most of the accessories that the Stokke ®Scoot™ does.

Assembly was so easy that it was almost unbelievable.  I didn’t need tools, but just pushed the front wheels in and the back wheels just snapped in pushing from the side.  In less than a minute all four wheels were on and pardon the pun, we were almost ready to roll.  The 2 way, front facing or rear facing seat goes on just as easy and you hear the clicks and see the safety lock indicator so you know it’s secure.  The harness is adjustable to three heights, there is a nice big mesh basket under for storage and so many configuration on the seat and foot rests.  You can have the seat facing the parent and click the adjustable foot rest in three different positions.  You can turn the seat around so it is facing out and add the adjustable footrest above the fixed one for your child’s comfort. Seat features 4 upright to reclining positions to easily adjust for your child’s comfort.

Stokke Scoot Diagram

There is an optional car seat attachment kit that will accommodate most infant car seats.   It has one of the best canopy hoods for sun, rain and wind protection I have ever seen in a stroller.  There is even an additional zip on visor that adds even more sun shielding protection. A zipper on the canopy opens to reveal a mesh ventilation opening that can double as a viewing window when child is front facing.

Stokke Scoot Softbag

 

There is an optional Stokke® Scoot ™ for young babies-6 months old that has slots for the harness to go through to keep little ones warm, snuggly and secure.  The included rain cover will keep little passengers dry and the net cover will keep the biting bugs away.  The brake is easy to engage and disengage with just a touch of your foot.  The stroller maneuvers nimbly and with ease even with an older toddler through all kinds of strolls, narrow places or crowds.  From the mall to roads of all kind this stroller rolls easily even on the country roads I live on  that are less than smooth and straight.

I was able to push my son with ease in all situations and he is about 30 lbs.  He also was very comfortable and I could even add the adjustable footrest up a bit from the fixed since his little legs still need a bit to grow.  He could relax with room in the recline position and felt super comfy.

Folding the Stokke® Scoot™ is easy and what really makes me happy is that the seat even though a cinch to remove, does not need to be  to fold the stroller.  That is one extra step you can skip and so helpful when you are trying to do so in inclement weather, trying to board public transportation, or with cranky little people in tow.  You simply push up the bottom of the seat and then grab hold of the white release and it folds with ease.  For the most compact folding make sure you set the adjustable handle to its lowest position.  It is light enough to pick up with one hand and fits in the back of my van with a load of room to spare.

The Stokke® Scoot™  has modern styling  that appeals to moms and dads in an available rainbow of vibrant colors. Whether in the city, country, traveling, using public transportation or your own vehicle; Stokke® Scoot™ is a compact, urban stroller that will take you where you need to go in style.  Bottom line is the Stokke® Scoot™ is a stroller that I highly recommend and has the quality to be used for your first child to your last.  Check it out HERE, I think you will be glad you did. The Stokke® Scoot™ has a retail price of $599.99, for more information or to purchase click HERE.  You can keep up with all the latest news on the Stokke® Facebook Page and follow Stokke® on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.
