When it comes to buying a product for my children, I have to do all my research, product and price comparisons, and comparing reviews (cost vs. benefits). I try to get the best deal without sacrificing quality, comfort or safety. I think real mom experiences are what I consider the most, so I thought I'd share my own reviews on the products I've decided to purchase hoping this will be a helpful tool for you! Please feel free to comment or recommend your own products vs. the ones posted here on my blog! Thank you.

Here you'll find reviews, helpful finds and tips, the most updated CPSC child product recalls, and the most current baby deals I can find on the web (and in -stores) possible!!!

If you'd like to see any additional items on this blog that could help you as a mommy, please leave me a comment on my Intro post!!! :) Thank you for reading :).

Graco MyRide 65 Review is IN!

OK... sooooo... I LOVE IT!  I've only had it a day, but from what I've gotten out of it so far:

PROS:
EASY to install
EASY to adjust height and tighten straps (not as easy as EFTA)
HAS *2* Latch "ropes" - one for RF and one for FF position (no need for re-looping Latch to change seat position)
COMFORTABLE for my 6 1/2 month old infant (reclines just enough for RF position)
GORGEOUS design (Grey with Pink/Purple paisley from Target)
BABY is happy in it!

CONS:
Doesn't come "RFing Ready" so you have to adjust some flips things at the bottom from FF to RF (which is odd because #1- the strap height comes at the lowest (infant height), and #2- this seat gets such high reviews for having a high RFing weight max).  It didn't explain properly how to "flip" some adjusters for RFing position I had to study it well after I almost broke the part off.

Plus, it looks HUGE when you see it at Babies R Us on display, but it's actually about the same size as the EFTA (which isn't a tiny puppy anyway I guess).  I think I made the right choice in the end seeing my baby girl will be RFing for a long time, even if it is just another 6 months, she needs to be comfy another 6 months.  I will, however, probably keep her RFing as long as possible.
