Infantino Jumbo Wheel Play Space

Designed by Infantino for ages 0+ the Jumbo Wheel Play Space encourages not just fun and exploration but scooting, rolling, grabbing and even crawling. 

The Jumbo Wheel Play Space is a rather large mat that could easily replace an activity gym.  We have one that went through two kids and we are getting rid of it in favor of the Jumbo Wheel Play Space for this new baby.  The Jumbo Wheel just has so much more to offer.  It plays music, has a detachable Velcro flower, the elephant in the center has those great crinkly sounding ears and there is even a mirror to entertain baby.  This bright, colorful play mat has soft spots, satiny spots and even teething rings to create loads of fun and exploration time for a child.  It works well at encouraging that all important tummy time but is enticing enough to get babies scooting and rolling as they discover new areas of the mat.  It's so big that it will take them a bit to roll off it too, which is something I really love.  It can be easily folded up and stored away for later use as well, which is another plus.  The Jumbo Wheel Play Space is going to make a wonderful addition to our baby play time arsenal for our newest arrival.

Team Mom- Consumer Reports Best Baby Products Giveaway!

"Breast is best." That's the mantra. However, as a mother of two who has gone both the breast and formula route I know that formula can be EXPENSIVE! However, be it medication, low milk production, needing to supplement or not being able to pump at work (don't get me started.) it’s important for new moms to know that they can get the best value for their money, while also safeguarding baby’s health while giving them what they need.

The 10th edition Consumer Reports Best Baby Products, store-brand infant formula is as nutritious for babies as nationally advertised brands. Moms can save up to 50% of their money by using store brand formula. It's true- $27 for Enfamil. $14 for the store brand. I've priced it out all over from Target to Wegmans.

As of the month of October, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) has designed an initiative to promote breastfeeding. This will reduce infant-formula subsidies by up to 26%. Parents who previously had most of their formula paid for by WIC may now have to purchase formula on their own. To help spread the word, PBM Products, which makes store-brand formula, is offering a free copy of the 368-page Consumer Reports Best Baby Products ($16.95) and some coupons for purchases at Walgreens, Babies “R” Us, Kroger and MANY other leading stores where store brand formula is sold.
