Babiators

If you know me at all...you know that I ALWAYS have a pair of sunglasses on top of my head...Day or Night.  1. It holds my hair back and 2. My eyes are super sensitive to sun light. 
Sunlight can be so damaging to a child's eyes.  I have found myself fussing at my kiddo's about looking at the sun...especially on the way to school.  It just seems like the light is blinding. 
 
 
 

So here is my newest addiction..BABIATORS!!! These glasses are not only too cool...but very affordable, safe, and warrantied....who gives a warranty with kids sunglasses...well they do!



This is directly from their website. 
Safe!
When babies grab onto something, where’s the first place it goes? Their mouths! That’s why it’s imperative that anything made for young children be safe – and that’s the idea behind Babiators flexible rubber frame design.
We test every shipment to ensure that Babiators comply with the most stringent regulations in the world for BPA, phthalates, lead, and other metals. Our top quality 100% UVA and UVB protection lenses are also impact and shatter-resistant.
So when you buy Babiators, you can rest assured that you are buying the best sunglasses out there for your little one!

Durable!

Babiators are incredibly durable – our flexible rubber frames consistently bounce back after being bent, twisted, or sat upon!

Awesome!

Babiators are available in two sizes (Ages 0-3 and Ages 3-7+) and ten awesome colors: Black Ops Black, Blue Angels Blue, Rockstar Red, Princess Pink, Wicked White, Superstar Silver, Nighthawk Navy, Beach Baby Blue, Limelight Lime, and Sneak Attack Pink & Black.
Designed by an F-18 fighter pilot for your little aviator, Babiators are sure to make your child the Maverick of the playground!

Guaranteed!

What is the most common complaint about children’s sunglasses:
“My child will break or lose them!”
We’re pretty darn sure your Babiators won’t break, and we believe that protecting kids’ eyes is too important to overlook simply because sunglasses might get lost. That’s why if a child's Babiators are lost or broken, we will replace them!
 
 
UV Protection!
Babiators protect your child's eyes at a critical time – Babiators’ lenses offer 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.
Why should we be concerned about protecting our children’s eyes from UV exposure? Children’s sensitive skin needs sunscreen to limit dangerous UV exposure and their eyes need protection too. Here are the facts:
  • When compared to adult’s eyes, children’s eyes have fewer natural protections against UV exposure, making them more likely to be damaged.
  • The more time you spend outdoors, the more susceptible you are to sun damage. Published scientific research concludes that up to 50% of lifetime UV ray exposure may occur by age 18, so it’s imperative that we protect our children’s eyes now!
  • According to Dr. J. Keller Wortham, a physician with Optimum Wellness Family Medical Group in Los Angeles, excessive exposure to the sun during daily activities can contribute to cataract formation, macular degeneration, pinguecula and pterygium (growth on the eye's surface), photokeratitis (snow blindness), and skin cancer on the eyelids. Those are a lot of big words, but the bottom line is this: protecting your children's eyes is critical.
  • The EPA recommends you wear sunglasses even on days with a low UV index!
Given that children’s eyes do not have as many natural protections from UV, children spend more time in the sun than adults, and time in the sun can lead to permanent eye damage, we feel it just makes sense for kids to wear sunglasses!
When it’s bright outside, adults wear sunglasses – our children should do the same!
 

Right now I don't have these available on our website because they are going to sell like hot cakes and I don't want to be out of a color that someone might order...(no real time inventory for this mom and pop store)  That being said please feel free to give us a call 940-766-1234 and we will do the sale right over the phone and ship them out for you the same day.

Nested Bean - Zen Swaddle

The Nested Bean-Zen Swaddle has just arrived at our Wichita Falls store and will soon be in OKC and Tyler.  You all know how passionate I am about swaddling.  Swaddling totally saved my sanity with Ms. E and Mr. H. 
 
I think that the Zen Swaddle is so unique in its design and totally solves and issue that lots of moms and babies have.  Watch the video above for a great overview of this really cool product. 
There used to be a really neat product on the market called the Zacky...It was a weighted hand that you could put on baby to simulate mom or dads touch.  I thought it was cool but lacking in some areas...the Zen Swaddle takes that concept a step further with adding the simulation of touch to a swaddle.  Of course we know that nothing can replace our loving touch but anything we can do to help pacfi baby for a couple extra hours of sleep (aka: sanity) is a great thing.

Chair from 5months to 99 -Keekaroo

This is the chair I got for Mr. H when we were done with our high chair.  (the only reason we used a high chair and not this from the beginning was I already had one from Ms. E.)  He is now 4 1/2 and still sits in it every day....for that matter is it "the" chair in our house...all the kids friends want to sit in that chair and Mr. H and Ms. E constantly fight over it.  In the mornings when there are 4 other available "big" chairs he still chooses to sit in this chair. 

We also use it as a step stool.  Mr. H LOVES to cook...so much so that when I tell him to stop growing so fast his classic response to me...is "mama, I have to grow up so I can cook and drive by myself"  This little guys loves to cook with me.  We take our keekaroo and turn it so the back is up against the cabinets and he uses it as a step stool.  Well for that matter I use it as a step stool as well.  It is so much better than having to drag my kitchen stool out....This chair really is for a lifetime.  Who needs a high chair that you will use for 2 years when you can have a Keekaroo Right Height chair!!!

Oh and I forgot to mention the special pads...and tray.  The chair comes with the infant cushion and tray and when they out grow those you can purchase the comfort cushions in 6 different color choices.

Baby Giraffe

Yesterday we had the CUTEST little boy in the store.  He was just a smiling and talking...but started getting hungry.  His poor mama was trying to shop while leaning over the top of the stroller holding his bottle...she looked so uncomfortable.  Vikki and I saw a great opportunity to try out the new Baby Giraffe Spine and Clamp.  
This arm is so neat...it has a HEAVY duty clamp that will work on your stroller, carseat, shopping cart, high chair...etc...and I promise..I can barely clip it on so there is no way baby can get it off.  On the end of the arm is an adapter for 3 separate attachments: sunshade (included in your kit and it folds up just like the ones you use in your car into this neat little bag) , a mirror (for when you are driving so you can see what baby is doing when they are rear facing), and a loop for bottles or toys.  This arm can be manipulated into any angel or position.  
Our little man here was able to easily drink his bottle...and when he was done he just spit the nipple out.  Of course this mama went home with one....but I can't even tell you how handy the Baby Giraffe would have been for me.  Toys, Bottles, Sun shade, and mirror.....so many option.
