Reviews by Mom to Bed By 8

When I first visited the Snazzy Baby website my eyes peeled to their knee pads for baby. Ever since Elliot began crawling on the floor, I have it in my mind that we needed something like this to keep his knees from harm. We have all hardwood and vinyl and it can be hard on his little legs. So I watched out everyday for about a week for them to arrive, so excited about my find. Though when they did, I was fairly surprised. I paid close attention to the design on the website but once they were in my hand I almost put them right back in the box. Now I am so glad I actually gave them the chance they deserved because we use them often.

The Snazzy Baby Knee Pads are a little thicker than they appeared to me when shopping online but I have grown to really like this feature. It seems to keep his knees better padded than legwarmers and I have had a lot less trouble with Elliot’s knee area becoming dry.

The only thing I am not fond of with the knee pads is the red bands that connect the top and velcro closures. I have to be careful not to pull them too tight or it leaves a little mark for this the back of his leg. I also have to be careful not to leave it too loose or they slide down as he crawls.

Overall though I found the Snazzy Baby Knee Pads to be very useful. They are available in four colors and allow for sizing to meet your needs (via velcro closure). My four year old has even successful worn them a time or two as well. They are not a must have but do make crawling more comfortable for baby for sure.

The first day I used the Snazzy Baby Mom’s Deluxe 3 in 1 Combo Carrier I really made a fool of myself. I thought in my mind I have put on a half a dozen carriers with my four children, I can do this one too without reading the instructions. Well that did not work. Why you might ask.

The Snazzy Baby Mom’s Deluxe 3 in 1 Combo Carrier is a wonderful multipurpose carrier as well. You can use it as a carrier both front and rear facing, a portable high chair and even can be used in a shopping cart (this keeps Elliot more secure than any single strap safety device I have ever seen in a shopping cart).

Though what I found to be even more amazing about this carrier is the compact size. I keep ours in the baby bag. No more bulk to be tossed from car to house and back again. Love this!

• FREE pair of ‘ My Baby Leg Warmers ‘ included so you are geared up if your baby gets cool or if the weather changes unexpectedly when you are out and about.

• May be used at the pool or beach material is chlorine and salt water resistant.
• Use from 4+ months when your baby has good head control to age 3+ – to 37lb or 17 kilos.
• You carry the weight of your baby and not the Combo. Is very lightweight, weighs only 16oz or 500gm.

Now the Snazzy Baby My Baby’s Own Deluxe Travel Chair is another wonderful compact on the go multipurpose baby accessory. To be completely honest I have only used it once so far to test it out; then my hubby snuck it away to his car for when he has outings with El.

The Deluxe Travel Chair even folds up into a small purse like bag all completely attached. So only one piece to keep up with. Note that is why it ended up with my husband. He loves simplicity.
