Working Out with BOB Strollers Revolution PRO and FLEX #BOBSays

To celebrate the debut of two new additions to their line, BOB strollers hosted a fun event at Sports Club/LA, where attendees had a first look at the new Revolution PRO and Revolution FLEX strollers.


Note: I was invited as media to this event and received a stroller for review purposes. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


During the event, we enjoyed activities including stroller racing as well as learning how to get in a workout with the stroller. These activities allowed me to get a feel for how the stroller moves and feels doing everyday activities.


These stroller are great for parents who are active and would enjoy walking or jogging around the park. These BOB's high quality strollers are durable and made for all terrain experiences.

At the event I also learned that BOB's strollers is now partnered with Britax, another well known company for childcare products. BOB Stroller Revolution PRO and the Revolution FLEX are available as both Single and Duallie (two seats) strollers. They include advanced features and a variety of color options.

After the event, I received my very own BOB Revolution PRO to take home an review. One of the features that impressed me while using was the new handle bar. It adjusts to nine different positions to fit the height of any parent. My husband and I can appreciate this feature since I am 5'1 and he is 6'1. Adjustable handles makes it easy for him to use the BOB's stroller and feel comfortable.

Both models are designed with many of the popular Revolution SE features, including:
  • Swiveling front wheel, which offers superior maneuverability and locks forward for increased jogging stability
  • High-impact polymer composite wheels with pneumatic tires and tubes to take on tough terrain
  • Easy, two-step folding, lightweight frame for convenient transport and storage
  • State-of-the-art, adjustable suspension system for an exceptionally smooth ride
  • Five-point padded harness to keep children comfortably secure
  • Low-boy cargo basket, providing plenty of undercarriage storage
The Revolution PRO and the Revolution FLEX are suitable for children starting at eight weeks, or from birth with the use of the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter and BOB B-Safe or other compatible infant car seats.

The BOB Revolution PRO Single ($499.99) and Duallie ($709.99) are now available at select outdoor and bike retailers online and in stores starting in late June. The BOB Revolution FLEX Single ($479.99) and Duallie ($689.99) will be available online and in independent and major retailers starting in July.

BOB's The Revolution Pro and Flex Stroller review.





Note: I was Invited as media to this event and received a Revolution Pro Stroller to review.  No other Compensation was received, all personal views are 100% my own.

 KJ and I attended a Bob's Stroller Event for the release of there upgraded version of the Revolution SE, The Revolution Flex and Revolution Pro.  These strollers are for all outdoor journeys and very durable. The Revolution Flex and Pro come in single and duallie (two seats).






These stroller are a must have for all parents who are active and loves jogging,  BOB's high quality strollers are durable and great for active families. This is great for me right now,  I cant make it to the gym but I can go for a morning jogs with my little guy strapped in safely.  These strollers are made for  all terrain sport experiences from a  family walk in the park to a jog around the park.



It is extremely easy to use the Revolution Pro, easy to handle and a smooth ride for baby. BOB's strollers are now partners with Britax another well known company for  childcare products. BOB strollers are suitable for babies 8 weeks and older, you can use it from birth with the BOB infant car seat adapter and  BOB be safe car seat.



The Revolution Flex and The Revolution Pro include advanced features and a variety of fresh color options, The only difference between the Flex and Pro is The pro has a new handle bar that adjust to nine different positions perfect fit for any parents height.  My husband and I can appreciate this feature since I am 5'1 and he is 6'1 this makes it easy for him to use the BOB's stroller and feel comfortable.


The Pro Stroller is also now equipped with hand activated rear drum brakes for extra control on hills and deep inclines, The strollers can get a little heavy especially with the baby in them so in case it gets to heavy and you can't support the weight you can squeeze the hand activated drum brake to stop the stroller and gain better control.  These Pro strollers come in two new colors wilderness green and black & orange with all silver
frames.


The Flex Stroller also comes with the adjustable Hand bar to adjust to every parents height and the color options are now black with black frame, orange with silver frame, and Lagoon (aqua blue)with silver frame.  Both Strollers still have many of the great popular features the Revolution SE has,  To name a few the swiveling front wheel which offers great maneuverability and locks forward for a more increased and stabilized run, state of the art adjustable suspension system for an amazing ride. The suspension system is awesome I think that is my favorite thing about these strollers, The suspension system has another level once your baby reaches the weight limit you hit a switch and the stroller adjusts the suspension to babies new weight, How cool is that?!

The Revolution pro single is $499.99 the Duallie is $709.99 both these strollers are now exclusively available at REI until June 15 2014. These two strollers will be available at select outdoor and bike retailers online and in stores in later this month (june).  The Revolution Flex single is $479.99 and the Duallie is $689.99,  The two strollers will be available online and in independent and major retailers starting in July.

RUUM and Nina Kids Hot Summer Fashions

I am so excited to talk about this children's clothing line,  The one thing I love is shopping for children's clothes for my kids but sometimes it's challenging only because of the different ages my 10 year old is sporty (which Im trying to add some girly girl stuff), my 2 year old is girly and my prince well he just has swag all around.  When I find a clothing line that has great clothes and I can shop for all of them in one store and is cost effective Im excited.  RUUM clothing line is the perfect clothing line for my family.


I recently attended a RUUM's  event,  I fell in love with there clothes. The event was to launch there new spring, summer and 4th of july wear I was just in awe with all the styles. I was given a back pack for my 10 year old. I couldn't wait to show her and have her wear the back pack.




Kairi loved it, which now a day's is hard to get her to like anything. The first chance she had to wear the bag she did.  Kairi loved the bag especially since she has her electronics to carry this bag was the perfect accessory, and can be worn casually or to an outing and again most importantly to her its stylish.


After I was done with RUUM I went over to see Nina Kid's shoe's such great shoes for every occasion.  My daughter received a pair of shoes. She liked them, she mostly liked the gold trim on the front of the shoe's and said its the shoes were very comfortable.  The Nina Shoe Collection has so much different kind of shoes for big girls, toddler girls, big boy and toddler boys. The shoes are unique and very creative, I love the designs.

Evenflo Angled & Vented Bottle and Pro-flow Integrated Nipples Review

In about a month or so KJ will be transitioning to drinking water and juice from bottles so I was excited to review Evenflo new collection of vented bottles.


Note: I received product samples for review purpose. No other compensation was received. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

I'm really looking forward to using the Evenflo's Angled & Vented Bottle and pro-flow integrated nipples. There's a lot about this bottle that is beneficial for KJ. The bottle is compacted and has soft comfortable grips on both sides which makes it easy for babies and mommy to hold the bottle. And the curve shape makes it easy for upright feeds.


The silicone  Pro-flow integrated vented nipples rapidly vents air bubbles to the bottle and not the babies tummy preventing gas,colic, and fussiness while preventing leaks during feeding with no extra pieces needed, How awesome is that. The nipples can be purchased separately and come 4 in a pack and can be used with any of the Evenflo Bottles.



Evenflo has another set of bottles the twisted + vented  bottles.  Both bottles are affordable and BPA-free polypropylene bottles. For more information or to purchase these or any other Evenflo product go to www.evenflofeeding.com

Tommee Tippee Spring Bottle Collection Review

Tommee Tippee has come out with new spring  colored bottle for boys and girls, since I have a boy I am reviewing the boy collection.  I love the colors very spring like and fun, more importantly the bottle in it self is very good especially if your breast feeding and want to transition your child to bottle.


Note: I received product samples for review purpose. No other compensation was received. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own


The first thing I noticed about the bottle was the nipple the shaped like a women's breast and felt like a women's breast, also the nipple has a little valve to make feeding more comfortable for the baby by letting out the air and preventing gas.

Secondly, The shape of the bottle was very different from what I was use to seeing and using but once I started feeding KJ I was able to appreciate the shape of the bottle it wasn't big and uncomfortable. It was compact and easy to hold for me and KJ, it was easy for him to grip the bottle.


The package comes with 3 bottles a light blue, light green and light purple, the bottles can hold 9 oz's of milk which is great most bottles only hold 8oz's for me that extra oz matters especially since my little guy is already drinking 7 oz's.


KJ wasn't too happy with the bottle at first he was having a bit of a hard time latching but after a few tries he starting getting the hang of it and took his feed, he is not breastfed  but the fact that he was able to still use the bottle is another plus.

I definitely recommend this bottle for mom's who are breastfeeding and want to transition their baby from breast to bottle  this is good a bottle made to make it easier 9 out of 10 moms agree.


The package has a list of 6 good reasons why Tommee Tippee makes it easy to switch from breast to bottle, 6 good reasons I wished I had found when I was trying to switch my 3 year old now breast to bottle when she was a baby.
  1. Soft silicone nipple feels closer to skin.
  2. Flex and stretch nipples mimics breastfeeding.
  3. Breast-like shape for easy latch.
  4. Super sensitive easy-vent valve for a more comfortable baby.
  5. Compact shape allows baby to be closer to you.
  6. Easy to switch between breast and bottle feedings 9/10 moms agree.
For 3 bottles the price is only $23.99, It is only sold at Babiesrus stores and online at www.Babiesrus.com

Playskool Potty Time Elmo Review

My family are huge Elmo fans, so when I was offered the opportunity to review Sesame Street "Potty Time Elmo" by Playskool, I was definitely interested.



Note: I received product samples for review purpose. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


My 3 year old daughter is already potty trained, but I wish I had this when back a few months ago. It's so easy, fun and my daughter enjoyed "helping" Elmo's for his potty time.



The Potty Time Elmo comes with a child size Elmo, a potty, sippy cup for Elmo, reward chart and 28 stickers. The reward sticker sheet is a nice touch for motivation since they're bright and colorful stickers of the sesame street characters.


Potty Time Elmo is very interactive. Give Elmo a sip from his sippy cup he gulps and giggles, then lets you know he has to use the potty.



Then your child can "help" pull down Elmo pants and sit him down so he can use the potty. If you get him on the potty on time, he lets you know he's going. But if he doesn't make it then he will let you know Uh Oh Elmo didn't make it. The child gets the visual of what happens when its time to potty.

What I really like about Potty Time Elmo is that it's not just Elmo going to the potty.

Elmo has accidents and sometimes doesn't make it to the potty. This helps our little ones know that accidents happen and sometimes they won't make it to the potty. For those times Elmo sings a little song about having an accident. And it's OK to have accidents. Next time they'll make it to the potty, which is very important for toddlers self esteem.

When Elmo does make it to the potty, he has a happy reward song he sings to celebrate. This song is also important to children and they can celebrate with Elmo when they use the potty.

My daughter absolutely loved the potty time Elmo, she couldn't get enough of the toy and the songs.

Playskool Sesame Street Potty Time Elmo is $29.99 for ages over 18 months to 4 years.
