  • Its so nice and easy to maneuver.
  • Tejas is 14 months and he uses a front facing car seat; he used the car seat of the travel system until last month.
  • It can accomodate a baby till 30 pounds and 32 inches. Its sturdy and safe.
  • It comes in 2 colors....both r nice.

  • I have bought 3 Travel systems in total
  • Graco is the worst purchase... Very bulky and inconvenient...
  • i used the Snap and Go until 8 months
  • Later on bought the macclearan Voila stroller... Best stroller in the world.
  • Also, Indian babies never reach 32lbs within one year... and after than rear-facing car seat become uncomfortable for baby... so the smaller version is fine.

  • There's one more choice for travel system too, the earlier one was Alano Travel System - Mulberry
  • And the play yard is much lesser price than Graco Alano-Mulberry

  • Car Seat - Try to opt for a convertible car seat that can be used as a rear or forward facing from birth.
  • The Evenflo Titan convertible car seat ($99 @ evenflo.com)
  • OR choose one with higher weight limit so that you can use it longer like Graco SnugRide 32 ($160 @ gracobaby.com) for babies upto 32 pounds and 32 inches tall.

  • We too got Graco Quattro Deluxe travel system.
  • We were comparing chicco n graco. Chicco looks very sturdy but Graco is more roomy... n Chicco car seat can accomodate only 22 lbs babies where as graco has capacity of 32.
  • Rest all features were almost the same.. got it from babiesrus.
  • We had 15% off coupons.. so not a bad deal...

    i went for chicco cortina travel system. i went to the store and tested out each graco styles system and i found that chicco cortina luna was light in weight and easy to manouver around stores and pushing it. i felt for a person if ur small and thin, graco might be too heavy for u to push around..and seen that chicco is number 1 in safety and safety comes first so i went for chicco.

The crib is the first piece of nursery furniture usually purchased. It should be comfortable and easy for baby and parents too . TYPES OF CRIB >>Single Drop-Side Single drop-side allows one side to be raised and lowered for getting baby in and out. Benefit: Crib is very stable because one side rail is permanently attached to both the headboard and the foot board. >>Double Drop-Side Double drop-side has two sides that raise and lower. Benefit: Lets you get baby in and out from either side, without having to walk around. Kickbar Drop-Side Release enables you to simply lift the drop-side a little with one hand, then push your foot against the kickbar to release the drop-side. Benefit: Strong metal drop-side release ensures that the side rail does not drop accidentally. Also, it's durable enough to last through several children. >>Kick bar Drop-Side Release Kick bar drop-side release enables you to simply lift the drop-side a little with one hand, and then

Baby Massage and Oils.

By -
It is true from what I have heard and experienced with my own little DS and with my neice in India too. As per my opinion, 9 out of 10 babies get rashes with J & J baby oil...  Indians generally prefer using Parachute Coconut oil, its what your mom or mil will advice you to use. Some say that coconut oil makes the skin dark, and so opt for Almond oil available at Indian stores. Figaro Olive Oil from India. Sesame seed oil. Burt Bees oil. PED's recommend to avoid coconut oil in the winters as it harden and does not wash off easily from the skin and may cause rash for babies. So you could go for Olive oil for winter and coconut oil for the summer. you can use any brand of extra virgin olive oil. Click below:   Guideline on How to Massage your baby.
