If you have little ones, this is an important post for you to read. Did you know that 1 in 4 auto crashes involving children are side impact collisions? Safety 1st, innovative developer of children’s products, has developed a new car seat called Air Protect that provides a double layer of security in the event of a crash. Safety 1st’s Air Protect car seat cushions your child’s head and reduces the forces of a crash through the release of air. By the looks of this car seat, it’s hard to imagine anything besides encapsulating your child IN AN AIRBAG that would keep them safer.

As we’re in the midst of summer travel season, Safety 1st is offering a “Summer Road Trip Safety” basket to one lucky MomReviews reader! Summer travel is fun and exciting, but it is important to first ensure the safety of your little ones in the back seat before you are able to sit back and relax.

The basket includes items from Safety 1st’s ProGrade line, all of which are crash tested by the Safety 1st team of certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. ProGrade items include the See Baby Soft Mirror (for the backseat headrest), the Secure View Mirror (for the rear view mirror), the Soft Solution Roller Shade, the famous “Baby on Board” window sign, and a $25 gas gift card to fill your tank!

Terrific Toys for Babies and Kids

May 18, 2009 By

I’m a big fan of toy website Ebeanstalk, because the toys they carry are carefully selected to match each age and stage of development. Ebeanstalk has child experts  that select the best baby toys matched to a baby’s development. To see great information on how a baby grows up, check out the info on their baby toys page.

Picking toys for a baby is not as simple as it sounds. Here are some quick baby facts:

  • Toys for a newborn baby: A newborn baby is briefly looking at objects and attempting to imitate facial expressions. They can follow objects with their eyes and usually quiet down, when they are picked up.
  • Toys for a three month old: They will enjoy ‘frolic play’, reaching for objects and will repeat enjoyable activities. Believe it or not, they will respond to ‘no’ (about half the time) and will start babbling.
  • Toys for a six month old: They’ll search for hidden objects (object permanence). They’ll reach for themselves in the mirror, play peekaboo, crumple paper, roll from their stomach to their back and even respond to their name.
  • Toys for a nine month old: They are pushing toy cars, playing pat-a-cake and looking for hidden sounds. The baby toys they are playing with are also getting more fun.

Don’t need toys for a baby? No problem! Ebeanstalk has toys matched to the developmental ages of children from age 1 to 7, and for your first purchase from the site, here’s a discount code you can use to save 15% off- TGS345

I’ve personally shopped from Ebeanstalk, and I’ve always been happy with the quality of the toys I’ve bought. Take a look at the site for perfect toys for your baby or child!
