Low profile, great looking & functional, September 13, 2010

By 

K. Davis – See all my reviews

  

I ordered this because none of the other bottle racks seemed to sit low-profile on a counter, or they were just too weird looking. This rack holds my Born Free wide neck bottles as easily as the smaller breast storage bottles, plus breast shields, falanges, nipples, collar rings, lids and whatever else you want to put there. And it is easily put away in a pantry shelf when I want to clear the counter for company. I highly advocate this product.

Excellent product., December 21, 2010

This drying rack is great. We use it each day when we wash our baby’s bottles. Our baby is breastfed, so we have lots of bottles and pump parts to wash, and the rack is best for drying all of it. We use the Dr. Brown bottles for feeding and all of the pieces fit along with storage bottles and all of the tiny pieces for the breast pump. It is pretty big, but I love the size because everything fits. Highly suggested if you do not mind taking up some counter space.

Excellent Drying Rack For Any Type of Bottle., November 4, 2010

This is a great drying rack for any type of bottle or small object. Currently we use it to dry Born Free glass bottles (5oz and 9oz), breast pump equipment, pacifiers, teething toys as well as adult Sigg bottles and the like. The rack is one piece, except the small cup and orange tips, and the ridges are tall enough to keep standing water off of most items. Both of which aid in drying the items thoroughly and keeps mold and mildew from finding its way into small crevices, cause there aren’t any. For the price you cannot beat it. I also advocate the Oxo Tot Bottle Brush for it soft bristles and great design OXO Tot Bottle Brush with Nipple Cleaner and Stand, Orange.

I like it but it could use a few improvements, December 14, 2010

Just received the cosmo and assembled it. That was simple enough. Here are my thoughts on the Combi Cosmo so far:

- It seems like it rolls pretty well.

- It’s heavier than I expected.

- I will have to get used to the way it folds. Unfolding is a snap (fun even!). When folded it probably takes up half the space that my (huge) Evenflo Eurotrek travel system stroller occupies.

- The canopy is a decent size.

- I read a review that mentioned the stroller was a bit scuffed and dirty when they received it. I did not experience this at all.

- The seat is nicely padded even though the bottom (where the kid’s butt sits) is not very structured so his butt sinks low (sort of hammock like) nearly into the basket.

- Love the color and print.

- The cup holder on the guardrail is a tiny narrow. It comfortably holds an avent bottle but I think I might have a problem with some of my son’s sippy cups being too wide.

- Now the real reason I had to deduct a star from my rating is this ridiculous excuse for a basket. I read some reviews prior to making this buy so I ded anticipate the basket to be on the small side which I could deal with otherwise I would not have purchased this stroller. I do realize that a basket is secondary and not necessarily essential (for me it is, I at least need a small/medium basket) but if Combi was going to put a basket on a stroller why oh why would they make it so that part of the frame (a bar) goes directly through the middle of the basket. As if it was not small enough now you have this bar stopping you from being able to put anything in the basket without either shoving in below or setting it on top of this bar. Really? Who decided that was ok? They had to know they would get lots of complaints if not returns for a design flaw like that.

Over all I do like the stroller but I am debating whether or not to return it because the bar through the basket it pretty much renders the basket useless. If I decide to keep it I will be taking it to Disneyland in a few days and I will update my review then.

Lightweight, Simple to Use Stroller, October 29, 2010

The Trifold feature on this Combi Stroller is Great! It takes less space in the automobile and also in the home or where ever you store it. To fold up, you do have to use 2 hands initially. Just push up on 2 brackets on the side, tip backwards a bit, and then fold together. Takes 5 seconds. Unfolding is Super Easy! The cushioned bed area where the baby sits is comfortable without too much cushioning. It reclines nearly flat and the bassinet feature is simple to put on and take off. I have not had any problems with the wheels. The front wheels pivot (as long as you take the brakes off) and steering is easy. I have only used it on smooth surfaces though. The fabric is lighweight, removable, and washable. The color combination of the Orange, Zebra and Greyish/Zebra is really cool. Great for someone looking “non-babyish” items. The basket is alittle small. Overall, I am really happy with the Combi Cosmo. It is lightweight and compact-everything I was looking for.

Good for its price, October 23, 2010

I purchased this stroller for 4.00 and when i recieved it there were some scuff marks and wheels were a bit dirty. Also the front wheels are horrible because they barely turn and basket on the bottom can hardly fit ANYTHING. But other than that i love how it reclines all the way back and there is a 5 point safety harness. Good stroller but not great.

A lifesaver, February 24, 2010

By 

A. Carpio “New Mom” (Woodbridge, VA USA) – See all my reviews

  

I received the Sleepy Wrap as a baby shower gift, and it has proven itself to be a fantastic product. My son is currently 4 months old, and he is a frequent eater (breastfeeds each 1-2 hours) who takes very few daytime naps. He also wants to be held constantly and cries if laid down or left alone too long. The Sleepy Wrap is the only way I can get him to nap longer than 30 minutes during the day! He will often sleep for 2-3 hours in the wrap, waking for a snack and then back off to sleep. I am a full-time student taking classes online, and I can study and surf the world wide web with baby wrapped against me! It’s the only way I can get things done during the day. If you are a fan of Attachment Parenting, this product is perfect.

I also use the Wrap when going out and about. I simply put the wrap on at home, then transfer him into the wrap from the automobile seat and carry him with me in stores, at the mall, etc. He either looks around happily or sleeps peacefully. A much superior substitute than carrying a carseat, lugging along a stroller, or finding a shopping cart to place the carseat into. The Wrap is extremely comfortable when standing or walking, and I have no problems with back or neck pain while carrying my son, who is currently 15 lbs.

My son was developing a flat spot on his head, and one of the ways I helped treat this was by keeping him in the Wrap. There is no external pressure on his head, so it’s much superior than laying him in a swing, bouncer or crib.

I can even breastfeed my son in the Wrap. The website states no repositioning is required, but I find that I do have to reposition my son, from side to side and sometimes further down my chest, in order to feed him. It is not a absolutely discreet way to feed, so I use my Jelly Bean nursing cover over it.

If you have a fussy or needy baby, I highly advocate getting this wrap. We also have a Baby Bjorn, which my husband often wears, and he likes the Sleepy Wrap for both his and baby’s comfort.

The only con of the Sleepy Wrap is that it takes practice to put it on just right, but after about a dozen times it becomes second nature. Also, as I mentioned above, I do have to reposition him to nurse, which often leaves the Wrap stretched and I have to re-wrap it in order to get the snug fit I desire.

A Must! You will love it and so will your baby!!!, July 28, 2009

I saw this wrap in use at the Baby Time Expo. The lady had a 18 month old huge boy in it. He was happy and so was she. I wanted one but thought I can do without. I WAS WRONG! The moment I got this I put it on (easy) and slid my daughter in it. Instant bliss. This is the only carrier that has supported my lower back and abs. Ladies we know how hard it is to get those lower abs back after pregnancy. I feel no pull on my body or shoulders. The material is super soft like a t-shirt. Moves with you supporting both you and your baby without restriction. Fits all size babies easy.(Mine is long and skinny and nothing has held her secure.) This will be my baby shower gift to everyone from now on!

My Baby and I Both LOVE Our Sleepy Wrap!, December 5, 2010

I ordered our Sleepy Wrap a tiny over a week after my tiny guy was born. He was (and still is) a gassy boy and always liked to be held upright; in the beginning, it seemed that was the only way he would nap (unless he was nursing)!! The Sleepy Wrap was wonderful for both in the home and when we were out and about. He would cry and scream in his carseat in the stores, but nearly never a peep came out of him when he was snuggled next to Mommy in the Sleepy Wrap! He is now a huge 20 pound 6 month old and we still use it (just this day at the grocery store, in fact; he fell asleep for half the trip ).

It does take a tiny getting used to putting it on and takes a few minutes to get on and adjust, but is SO worth it! I like to put it on me before we leave the home and then put him in it while sitting in the back seat of my car. I do want to state that you should not worry about wrapping it on too tight; it has such great stretch that, even if you put it on as tight as you can on yourself, and it seems there is no way you will get your tiny one in there…don’t worry, you will. It takes some adjusting, but the more snug it is, the more comfortable it is for me and my tiny man.

This is definitely one of our BEST baby purchases!!
