With my oldest one I made her food and stored them in FreshBaby Food Trays, but then to actually take homemade food on the road with me because a chore. I had to defrost each cube in a large bowl, then put the defrosted food into a smaller container which I could then stick in my diaper bag. The Fresh N Freeze baby food containers makes this process a whole lot easier.

All you need to do is grab a container from the freezer, stick it in the microwave, then put it in your diaper bag. Plus the screw-on lid ensures that food won’t leak out. Now, they offer the containers in both 2 oz and 4 oz for those babies who are chow hounds.

When using these containers do not fill them to the top with food, leave a little room at the top to allow for the food to expand when frozen. This will help keep the lids on nice and tight. Remember to buy enough of the containers to store those big batches of food that you make!

Why I Like It
Traditional high chairs have a large footprint.  They are also bulky to store and move.  I like that Chicco’s 360 rotating hook on high chair does not take up any floor space which makes it a breeze to clean under and around the high chair.  The rotating feature is also nice so that baby can be facing virtually any direction with one simple turn of the chair.  The rotating lock is also helps to keep baby from turning herself around during feedings.  Cleaning the chair is also quick and easy.  Unlike traditional high chairs which take some time to disassemble and wash, Chicco’s fabric seat comes off easily as does the food tray.

Because the Chicco rotating high chair folds down folds and comes with a travel bag it is easy to carry along to a friend’s house and provide a seat for baby.  The seat comes in several colors and patterns.

Why I Like It:
One night my husband, daughter and I were invited to a friend’s house for dinner.  Since our friends didn’t have children, there wasn’t a high chair available to us.  We tried to sit our daughter on cushions with a chair so she could eat at the table with us, but she ended up squirming her way off the chair.  I ended up chasing her around instead of eating dinner!

My Little Seat is a compact little device that I keep it in the car so that I can strap my daughter in at friend’s homes or restaurants where high chairs are not available. Just recently I used it at my parent’s house, in addition to phone books, she was able to eat at the table with the rest of us.  I also plan on packing My Little Seat for my next trip.  After all it only takes up a few inches of space once it’s folded.

Storage is short in my house.  Especially with all the baby gear that seems to be taking over.  I didn’t want the highchair to take up that much room, so I was thrilled to see the Polly highchair fold up to be so small!  I can store the folded highchair in a closet or next to my fridge.

The two inserts make it easy to clean up a mess after meal time.  I just snap off the insert and wash it off in the sink.  There’s always an extra insert that I can use as well.

Even though the highchair comes with a five point harness, I removed the two over the shoulder straps because I could not get them to fit tight enough on my daughter.

These trays make storing extra milk and baby food super simple!  Just portion out any extra expressed milk or baby food into the cubes, snap the lid on and stick it in your freezer.  When you need to use it just grab what you need and thaw it out.  If you use a wide baby bottle these cubes will fit perfectly into your bottle.  If you are using a narrow baby bottle, you may need to thaw the cubes in another container before putting it into the bottle.

I love that the cubes are already portioned out.  It helps to keep baby food waste down to a minimum.  I use these trays every week when I make my baby food.  I just spoon the food into the trays and lay the trays flat in my freezer.  When the food is frozen, I pop them out of the trays into freezer bags, label and date them and they’re ready for me when I need them.

You go to a restaurant and you see the bus boy quickly wipe down the table with a wet rag. I’ve worked in the food industry. Those rags are not clean by any means. In fact they are probably spreading more germs over the table! Instead of whipping out my sanitary wipes and disinfecting the entire table, I grab one of my Table Topper place mats and stick it on the table.

I love that the Table Topper sticks in place, because little hands like to grab and throw things! Think of the paper place mats restaurants have. There’s no way that my daughter will sit through a meal and still have that on the table. The Table Topper is tacky enough to stick in place but will also release easily so that you don’t have to pick it off the table with your nails.

The bright and colorful designs are great for keeping my daughter occupied while we eat. I can rest easy knowing that at least her part of the table is germ free!

Unlike other baby food grinders, this appliance is electric so all you have to do is turn a dial. The smart design includes a spatula that functions as a handle for the steam basket and is perfect for scooping out purees.

I say, take charge of what you feed your baby and cook delicious meals that aren’t from a can. With the Beaba Babycook, there’s no excuse!
