Infantino SlingRider & CozyRider Carrier Review




SlingRider

I asked for this when in registered. My boss had one and I wore her daughter around when we went to [a bounce house place]. I loved it for just walking around. But I needed it for doing chores around the house. I tried pulling the straps up where she would closer so nursing would be easier but then I felt like she was being smushed.

The other issue I had that although it was suppose to be breathable, Sweet Pea would sweat a ridiculous amount even just in a onesie. NOT a fan of this carrier and I don't feel like I can recommend it.

In doing this review I found out about a recall back in March 2010. Which is scary enough in itself. I received this as a gift from my sister-in-law but she bought it at a consignment store so who knows if mine was a recalled one or not. I would hope not though. It was brand new in the box.



CozyRider

Ugh. I actually bought this one. We were going to Stone Mountain and I wanted a carrier so she could be held like she wanted but not be so heavy on my back.

In the image here it shows the legs at a wide stance but I felt like this carrier gave Sweet Pea a wedgie. And it put a lot of the weight on my shoulders still instead of all over feel. It also was nearly impossible to put her in there by myself. I went grocery shopping and decided to use this carrier but I almost never got her in and then she again was uncomfortable because I was. I wouldn't recommend this carrier either. In the picture we are at the lake again later. As you can see, she is not very comfy.



Does anyone have a good carrier that they would recommend?

My baby is a ROLLING PIN!

Sine my daughter is almost 8 months old and has learned to crawl, she is EVERYWHERE!

She gets in her diaper bag and pulls everything out...






She got under her crib and went through all of her wipes...






And at her cousin's birthday party she ripped all the paper!







So diaper changes are no easy task in our house. She rolls one way or the other every time we try.

That's why I love the idea of Huggies new diapers! Huggies Little Movers Slip-Ons! What an awesome idea! They have easy removable tabs, so you can just slip the diaper on without any mess or fuss!

Don't Blink

My little girl will be 8 months on August 9th. EIGHT MONTHS OLD! Where has this year gone. It feels like yesterday I was pregnant with her



and now she is full on crawling, saying "Ma-ma" (no kidding - except it's more "Ma-ma-ma-ma" but it IS directed towards me :]), she pulls herself up and 'cruises', she eats finger foods, and NOW we have a tooth! And this all started happening in the past month!

She isn't my tiny newborn anymore.



She has an attitude all her own and gets in to everything. I'm so grateful that I get to stay home with her and I don't have to miss a minute.

I wish I could just make it all slow down. I'm trying to adsorb everything, soak it all in so I can remember it but it seems it's all moving too fast. Once I try and take a moment to reminisce, she's already doing something else. I have to write it all down and take LOTS of pictures. I'm sure my Facebook friends get annoyed with all my picture taking. I'm just scared to miss a thing.
