Blog Giveaway : KABOOST Portable Chair Booster

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

When I first spotted the KABOOST, I knew I just had to get it! Ever since my 2nd child got booted out of his high chair, making way for his younger brother, he has been literally sitting on his knees, whenever he’s at the dining table.

He’s always had trouble reaching for food, and eating, because sitting on knees for a long while, aren’t exactly comfortable. I managed to get it and when I installed it for him, he was the happiest lil’ kid on the block!

For him to reach his food easily and sit comfortably on the dining chair, was an instant confidence booster (oops! no pun intended!)! His dexterity improved and there was definitely less food spillage. If I could, I’d be going on and on and on and on about KABOOST, just simply because it is one of the best products any parent would love to have.

BUY IT: It fits on most 4 legged chairs and it is SO portable! It only weighs 3.5lbs and it is designed with a choice of 2 height positions! In fact, my eldest son uses it whenever he works on the computer, as it is a better height to reach the keyboard and mouse. KABOOST easily holds up to 300lbs and it’s recommended age range is between 20 months to 6 years old.

It is incredibly stable and it can be used on all types of floor surfaces, including carpet, wood and tile. Not only that, its’ feet are rubberized, hence it won’t damage your floors!

And…it even has the National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval 2008 and numerous other awards. KABOOST has also been featured in so many magazines, you wouldn’t believe it! Have I been going on and on and on and on about it? ;)

WIN IT: When KABOOST heard that we were writing a review on it, they generously sponsored one unit of KABOOST portable chair booster with it’s own travel bag for giveaway to one lucky reader here! Here’s how you can enter for your chance to win:

  • Visit KABOOST and choose the colour that you would like to win
  • Three additional entries if you grab our button from our sidebar and link back to us from your blog, AND/OR

  • Giveaway is open to Continental US shipping addresses only.

And…if you don’t win it, at USD37.95, it’s certainly very affordable. This is definitely one product this Mama highly recommends! ;)

 

Klean Kanteen Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Officially, my soon to be 5 year old drinks from a cup whenever she is at school or at  the daycare. However, she claims that she HAS TO have her bottle of milk each night, otherwise, she will find it hard to fall asleep! LOL. The kind of excuses kids give these days.

I’m still trying hard to wean her off her bottle at night and has started the transition by using the 12 ounce Klean Kanteen stainless steel sippy cup. Since the Klean Kanteen is made from 100% recyclable, high-quality, food- grade stainless steel, I do not have to worry about leach from polycarbonate plastic. I also love the fact that Klean Kanteen has a special adapter which works with Avent’s™ patented sippy cup spout.  But if you asked my daughter, she’ll tell you she loves her new sippy cup because it is pink!

BUY IT : The Klean Kanteen 12 ounce bottle comes in three colours – pink, blue and silver and retails at $17.95 to $19.95.  If you are a parent who’s ready to pull your hair out trying to find BPA free products, do visit www.mypreciouskid.com to check out the Klean Kanteen and many other child safe products. You can thank me for your peace of mind later. ;)

Softress’ SoftBaby Giveaway

 

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

 

I had the opportunity to sample some SoftBaby from Softress and I am in love! I’ve been using the SoftBaby oil on my son for over a week now – a little after baths as a massage oil and also around his chapped lips since this poor kid hates any sort of chapstick. It doesn’t burn and doesn’t even smell so his allergies aren’t affected at all. I’ve even been using the baby oil on my itchy and dry winter skin and it’s wonderful! It’s not super oily and goopy like other oils I’ve tried and it doesn’t smell. My skin literally feels like silk after I use it!

I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a great body oil – whether for you or your family. It is a great product that really works!

Softress has products for any “body” – including oils for extremely dry skin, eczema, babies and kids and even dry or biracial/curly hair.

All Softress products are alcohol-free, preservative-free and fragrance-free. They’re vegan-certified and never tested on animals. The packaging is even recyclable and reusable!

BUY IT : You can find Softress products in stores in New York or you can shop online at their website: http://www.softress.com/ . Use promo code PAREV for 15% off your purchases, valid through March 31st 2009.

WIN IT : Thanks to Softress, we are giving away one bottle of 2 oz SoftBaby to 3 readers. To participate in this giveaway, here are the requirements:

  • Visit www.softress.com and name one of SoftBaby’s ingredients

Blog Giveaway : Good Nite Lite

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Pre-school aged kids are notorious for getting up at (or even before) dawn. They are also pretty famous for not wanting to go to bed when it’s time! It’s completely normal – but it’s also completely frustrating when you want them to follow a bit of a wake/sleep schedule. What can you do to teach them when it’s time to wake or sleep – especially when at this age they can’t tell time.

The Good Nite Lite helps you help your child learn a good sleep pattern with it’s easy to “read” Moon (for “time to sleep”) and Sun (for “time to get up”). You can set the time on the night light for when you would like the sun to “come up” and when you want the moon to glow. My son loves his Nite Lite – in the few days we’ve been using it he’s actually stayed in his room a little longer in the morning! (He’s an early riser).

I would recommend the Good Nite Lite for anyone with kids under the age of 5 who just need that little extra to help their kids develop a good sleep routine (or just stay in bed longer in the morning!) It’s a great night light and a great product idea!

The Good Nite Lite has been featured in Parents Magazine and has gotten rave reviews from parents.

My only issue with the night light was that it runs on a watch battery and the battery was dead when I received the light. So, I had to search around to find a battery – other than that I’m extremely happy!

BUY IT : If you believe that having a regular sleep pattern is essential for the well being of your children (and parents too!), head over to www.goodnitelite.com and grab one for your kids today.

WIN IT : Ya’ll know that we ALWAYS partner with the best to bring you the best, don’t cha? YES WE DO! So, here’s how you can win one unit of Good Nite Lite:

  • Visit www.goodnitelite.com and tell us why you want to win this product AND/OR
  • Three additional entries if you grab our button from our sidebar and link back to us from your blog AND/OR
  • Three additional entries if you stumble this post.
  • Giveaway is open to US & Canada shipping addresses only
  • Giveaway closes on 31st January 2009 and a winner will be picked using Random.Org.

 

Blog Giveaway : The Shandle

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

I love The Shandle. They gave me, peace of mind. You see…I have a thing about kids and toilets. They love the sprinkle when they tinkle..and they don’t understand how extraordinarily dirty a toilet can be. No matter how spotlessly clean it looks, it can still harbour tons of germs.

Germs that can make any kid, sick. Easily.

With The Shandle, I had no problems getting my boys, to lift the toilet seat off. The Shandle offered to let me try three different designed shandles and that made me a very happy person!

Having the Monkey Loves Bananas design, made my 3 year old very insistent on going to the loo. Every other hour, it’s “Mu-um, I need to wee“. Toilet training has never been easier!

Here’s another shandle that I had, in my little powder room. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s like I just accesorized my toilet! ;)

Buy it!: The Shandle has so many beautiful, cute and humorous designs and guess what? It’s antimocrobial properties adds extra protection against germs and bacteria! The most active ingredient – silver, is a naturally occuring element that has been used to fight bacteria for thousands of years! Isn’t that so amazing? But, shhh!!! you don’t need to tell the kids that! ;)

Win it!: There are going to be, not 1, not 2, not 3, but 5 shandles to be given away! YES! You read me right! FIVE Shandles to be given away! 5 lucky people with shandle on their toilet seats very soon!

  • Visit www.theshandle.com and let us know which is your favourite Shandle design.

HURU HUMIs Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

What’s a HURU HUMI? Hah! I knew you’d ask ;)

HURU HUMIs are kids’ new  “Artificial Friends Forever” (AFFs). Talk to a HURU HUMI and they’ll listen, talk back, play games and even tell you jokes. Sounds way too cool and unbelievable? Believe it! Cause my kids have one each, a Lindsey and a Madison AND they are having so much fun being GURUS to their HURU HUMIs.

HURU HUMI is a new product line targetted at children of age 10 and above.

    Brain Quest Workbooks Giveaway

    GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

    Let’s face it, during the long school holidays, being parents, we sometimes run out of ideas on how to keep our kids occupied. So, what better way to ensure that they use their free time productively than by introducing them the Brain Quest Workbooks!

    I’ve got two Brain Quest General Curriculum Workbooks for both my kids this school holidays. I chose the general curriculum as they do not focus solely on one certain subject but covers Math, English Language and Science. The workbooks are also colourful, which is great since my youngest is soooo into colours these days. Apart from being jam packed with curriculum based activities, each title comes with a pull out poster and best of all, 200 stickers are included!!!

    My 4 year old enjoyed her Pre-K Workbook tremendously as she gets to learn  ABCs, 123s, phonics, shapes and colors, beginning sounds, and at the same time, she is able to play games such as mazes, “what’s wrong with this picture?” and sorting games which are cleverly weaved into the curriculum to make the learning process entertaining and fun.

    As for my 8 year old son, he loves challenges and the interactive Workbook for Grade 2 is like a refresher course for him as it reinforces everything he had learned in his classes earlier this year. The workbook’s easy-to-follow explanations means this mommy does not need to constantly go through the book with him though it will help if parents are able to explain the more difficult key concepts to their children. My son was particularly interested in topics about first fractions, tic tac total, geography, science as well as Brain Boxes.  At the end of each workbook, there is a cut out certificate where you can fill in the name of the child to present to him/her after the completion of all exercises. Needless to say, my son felt pretty important with a certificate. LOL.

    BUY IT : Choose from six new titles comprising the Brain Quest Workbook Series, from Pre-K through Grade 4. Each title is written in consultation with an award-winning teacher from the Brain Quest Advisory Panel specializing in that grade level and its core curriculum.

    WIN IT :  This is such a great prize to win for the kids! We’re giving away a Brain Quest Workbook each to two lucky readers. Check out how to participate in this giveaway:

    • Visit www.brainquest.com and let us know which workbook you want to win

    Love To Travel Products Giveaway

    GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

    When it comes to travelling with kids, I’m sure all moms will know one thing – bring distractions. Doom to any mother that forgets to bring a special toy(s) or munchies on the flight. That being said, moms that do bring a bagful of distractions for their lil darlings know full well that somehow or rather, something will be left behind on that plane. No matter how organised we try to be, it’s hard to keep everything in one place in that cramped space of an airplane.

    Upon receiving TRAYbleclothª, I knew, in that instant, this would be a hit with my kids. Not only will they be preoccupied doing all the activities, but they would also be putting back all their crayons, pens and whatnots into the cute lil pockets that they have, voluntarily! This handy and colorful TRAYbleclothª slips onto the plane’s tray-table and you can even lock the tray up with the TRAYbleclothª at any time!

    In fact, the sponsor was kind enough to send an extra one called the Executive TRAYbleclothª which was timely as my husband is now travelling quite a fair bit. In every trip, he’ll have his magazines, his notebook (for drawing/writing his ideas) and his iPod. And guess what? This nifty slip-on tray cover keeps all those things very well! It’s high quality nylon and vinyl cover creates a very clean eating and working space for him. He’s certainly a happier (and organised) man!

    BUY IT : The creators of TRAYbleclothª have found a very useful solution in reducing the discomfort and stress in airplane travelling. It not only helps stores all your personal belongings, but it also provides a barrier between the plane’s tray-table and you. It’s washablity and durability makes it easy to maintain for the frequent traveller.

    WIN IT :Right now, our sponsor, “Love to Travel Products” is giving two lucky Parent Reviewer readers, the chance to win a KidsTRAYblecloth and an Executive TRAYblecloth (one prize to each winner)! To enter, here are the requirements :

    • Visit TRAYbleclothª and let us know in the comments section below, the design you really like.
    • Place our “Mega Xmas & New Year Giveaway” Banner on your blog! Choose one of two, located at the right column.
    • Three additional entries if you Stumble this post with a review AND/OR
    • Three additional entries if you subscribe to Parent Reviewers
    • If you qualify for additional entries, please comment separately and let us know which option you’ve used.
    • Giveaway is open to  all our readers and closes on 30th Dec 2008. Winners will be drawn using the Random.org number generator.

     

    See Kai Run Shoes Giveaway

    GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

    I am really impressed by the quality of shoes from the company See Kai Run. I received a pair for my son, Alexander and he put them on right away and went to an active playgroup meeting. He never complained of any pain or annoyance usually associated with new shoes. The shoes are soft soled, made well and come in a wide assortment of colors.

    I chose a cool green and brown color scheme because that blend is very “in” right now; also, the shoes reminded me of styles that are popular in Europe (at least the part of Spain that we used to live in!) My son has received a lot of compliments about the shoes also – they go with just about any outfit I put him in (or, in his case he chooses since he’s a bit of a clothes horse).

    BUY IT : Want a pair of your own? (I mean, for your kid?) Check out the website at www.seekairun.com.

    WIN IT: With our current MEGA Xmas and New Year Giveaway, you can also WIN a pair  (any pair of shoes) from the See Kai Run line!! (excluding the Small Range). This giveaway is only open to our US readers only. To participate, here’s what you need to do:

    • Visit www.seekairun.com and choose your favourite shoe model and size. Let us know your choice in our comment section.
    • Three additional entries if you subscribe to Parent Reviewers OR/AND
    • Three additional entries if you have our badge up on your blog. You can grab any of our Mega Giveaway badges from our sidebar. Please leave your blog url to qualify.
    • If you qualify for additional entries, please comment separately and let us know which option you’ve used.
    • Contest closes on 24th December 2008 and a winner will be selected using the Random.Org Number generator.

     

     

    Giveaway : Getting Organized With LetraTag Personal Labelmaker

    GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

    You wouldn’t believe how messy our house can be when the kids are around 24/7 during the school holidays. Sometimes, it can get near impossible to find the things that I need in a hurry. When you have children, you can guarantee there’s going to be clutter. From toys to clothes to games, the play room can resemble a colorful explosion if you don’t get organized.

    So, during my recent vacation from work, I decided to fulfill my new year resolution in advance and get things organized. Thanks to DYMO, the creator of the LetraTag Personal Labelmaker, I can now pretty much find my nicely stacked stuff as they are now clearly labelled. Here are some organizing tips which can be put to good use if you have the LetraTag Personal Labelmaker:

    • Toys – Clear up the kids’ clutter by buying some color-coded bins. Place toys in one, games in another, and so on. Be sure to label each bin using your LetraTag Personal Label Maker so that you and your children know exactly what bin should hold what items.
    • Books/Films/DVD/CD – Keep kids’ favorite movies, computer games, books, and other media in order by designating separate shelves on a bookshelf for each. Print labels with your LetraTag Label Printer and place them on the edge of each shelf to indicate which types of media go on what shelf.
    • Kids closets – Organize clothing by pieces that match and then indicate possible combinations with different colored labels. For example, all shirts that can be matched with certain pairs of trousers or skirts can be placed in a drawer or bin that bears that colored label.
    • I have this problem of my daughter’s clothings getting mixed up with the clothings of other kids at her daycare. The good news is I’ve just discovered that LetraTag Label Printers can help me eliminate this problem. I printed my child’s name on the 1/2″ iron-on labels that can be applied to the inside of the garment easily using an iron. Problem eliminated!

     

    WIN IT : Here’s a chance for you to win a LetraTag Personal Labelmaker to make life a bit easier when used to plan and prepare for big or small events. The unit can quickly and easily print multiple labels on a variety of tapes – magnetic, iron-on, different colored plastics, paper, clear and metallic. It’s perfect for organizing homes and families.

     To enter this giveaway, here’s what you need to do:

    • Visit DYMO and tell us which model of labelmaker would benefit you the most.
    • Three Additional Entries if you place our “Mega Xmas & New Year Giveaway” Banner on your blog! Choose one of two, located at the right column…. AND/OR
    • Three additional entries if you Stumble this post with a review OR
    • Three additional entries if you subscribe to Parent Reviewers.
    • If you qualify for additional entries, please comment separately and let us know which option you’ve used.
    • Giveaway closes on 20th Dec 2008.  A winner will be drawn using the Random.org number generator.
