2 Must Have Baby Items

July 16, 2018 Comments : 7

2 baby items that you didn't even know you needed until you have them: The Binxy Baby and The Ollie Swaddle

Throughout my pregnancy everyone had an opinion on what the “must have” baby items were. Some I ended up getting and some I figured I could do without. There were 2 items that I never even knew I needed until I had them and tried them out: the Binxy Baby and the Ollie Swaddle.

I received these products free in exchange for my review. However all opinions are my own. You can see my full disclosure HERE

THE BINXY BABY

This actually is a pretty genius invention. How many times have I complained that my car seat takes up my entire grocery cart at the store? I’ll just say it’s been a lot! Placing the car seat on the top of the grocery cart is not a safe option so your either stuck using your stroller, carrying the baby, or placing the car seat inside the grocery cart which means with all the stuff I buy at store I have to grab a second grocery cart.

This little grocery cart hammock saves you from all that trouble. It fits most standard grocery carts, can also hold the car seat and supports up to 50 pounds in weight. It has been safety tested and can be used for babies up to 6-8 months or until they can sit up on their own. Plus babies absolutely love it. Avery enjoys being able to look around at things while we are in the stores. The Binxy Baby allows her to do that but also allows mama to use the cart for actual items! Check out their entire collection at binxybaby.com.

Look at all that room in the grocery cart! I can fill it with anything and everything I want.

 

THE OLLIE SWADDLE

We haven’t had much luck with swaddles for Avery. She either fights them or manages to get her hands free which eventually wakes her up defeating the purpose of the swaddle. Enter the Ollie Swaddle. This swaddle is made with moisture-wicking fabric to help reduce the risk of overheating which has been essential during these hot summer months we have had. The fabric is also super stretchy and soft making it the perfect material to swaddle your baby in. The first night we used it, Avery slept so good. She woke up as expected to eat but then went back to sleep in her pack n play without much of a fuss. We have since transitioned her arms out and she still sleeps great with this swaddle. I like that it will grow with her as well and you don’t have to keep purchasing bigger swaddles the older they get.

Another cool feature about this swaddle is that it comes in this adorable little box that you can keep and put other items in. I have started storing all of Avery’s headbands and bows in it! Check out The Ollie Swaddle at theollieworld.com.

    We LOVED Binxy Baby! 🙂 it was so helpful in those first few months before our daughter was able to sit up in the cart herself. I always got so many compliments on it so I recommend it to everyone.

#ad I love baking and cooking, especially this tim #ad I love baking and cooking, especially this time of the year. Cleaning up after it’s done? Not so much. And some of my favorite dishes to make involve a lot of stuck on and burnt on stains. Thankfully we have switched to the New Finish® Ultimate for our dishwasher and it works on even the toughest of conditions.

So now I can cook whatever I want (even my all time favorite: apple pie) knowing that Finish® Ultimate is doing the hard work and getting my dishes clean. Are you ready to make the switch? Available to purchase at @target online and in-store!

And make sure to check out my stories as I show you how I took on the Ultimate Challenge to see if Finish® Ultimate would really work in the toughest conditions!
