Syki product review: The autumn grey diaper bag experience. (re-upload)

by Tator

My partnership with Syki is in full swing!

This partnership is huge! I’ll be reviewing several items for Syki and I couldn’t be more excited. 

I traded in my wonderful ipack baby chevron diaper bag that I absolutely adore for one week and switched to the autumn grey bag by Ryco!

Like my current bag the autumn has tons of pockets, an insulated bottle pocket to keep bottles hot or cold, and an included matching changing easy clean pad however this Ryco bag offers things my ipack baby doesn’t. 

-the fabric material is waterproof 

-the inside lining is wipe clean and waterproof. 

-THE BAG COMES WITH A ZIPPER CLOSURE WET BAG! 

-there is even a designated pacifier pocket on the inside!

The bag itself is lighter than my current one, even when packed which is nice. 

I’ve only found 3 drawbacks in comparison of these two bags but of course each of these is just a personal preference 

-the outer pockets are not zippered. 

-the autumn does not come with a wipe travel case 

-and lastly the autumn does not have the protective pegs on the bottom of the bag that the ipack does so fabric is touching whatever surface directly when the bag is sat down. 

Again, these are extremely minuscule details but I’m here to deliver all the facts. 

The week that I used the autumn for this review we had several appointments. 

I’m very pleased with the experience we had. Ryco clearly took these things into consideration when designing their line because I loved the fact that I could safely wipe down the waterproof fabric to help cut back on any gems we may have brought home with us from doctors offices, hospitals and any other highly populated areas we visited where germs are bound to linger. 

As a breastfeeding mother it’s not a stretch to say that I would’ve used this diaper bag as a pumping bag & purse combination! This thing is spacious and plenty roomy to hold all pumping supplies and essentials discreetly!

This diaper bag is gender neutral which I love and could very easily be personalized with heat transfer vinyl or even embroidered for those parents looking for a personal touch. 

I LOVE this bag. The question is… now that this week is up will I switch back to my ipack?

Maybe,maybe not. Only time will tell. Is it worth the purchase? Absolutely. 

No question if I was contacted by Syki or Ryco to review the rest of their diaper bag line I would do it no hesitation! That is how positive this experience has been. 

Snuza hero product review:

by Tator

This is the Snuza hero review!

{My precious son was an all too willing participant for this review as you can see}
I was given the amazing opportunity to work with Snuza on not one but two of their impeccable products!}

Snuza is a voice for the ones who need it most, babies!

with the snuza hero you can conveniently clip the monitor onto the child’s diaper no cords, wires or even sensor pads are necessary. 

The Snuza monitor lets you sleep soundly knowing you’ll be alerted if your child’s abdominal movements slow to less than 8 times a minute or even stop. 

The units vibration stimulates baby to start breathing again after 15 seconds of no movement. Alarms sound after just 20 seconds of no abdominal movements. 

We enjoyed the simplicity of use with the Snuza hero knowing that the most precious of all are sleeping soundly. 

The lights add a visual reassurance that the unit is working and your baby is safe yet is never distracting or over stimulating. You never have to worry about the flashing light keeping you, or baby awake. The Snuza is easy to set up and install and takes at max 2 minutes At nap or bedtime. 

The simplicity of the Snuza hero wearable baby abdominal movement monitor is charming! No wires, socks, cords or sensor pads are needed you don’t even need a WiFi connection or Bluetooth!

The monitor comes with a protective case for easy on the go travel making it perfect for any and all impromptu sleep sessions your little one may venture on so you always know they’re safe!

And as you can see Raiden isn’t bothered one bit by wearing the Snuza, being wrapped up and headed on his way to bed!

Nanobebe Product Review!

by Tator

Tatorthoughts Nanobébé product Review!!!

Thanks to the incredible marketing department over at nanobébé I received:

  • 1 nanobébé brand breastmilk bottle complete with direct pump adapter, storing cap, nipple & nipple cover. 
  • 2 preemie slow flow nipples & storage case. 
  • 3 extra thick nanobébé flat breastmilk storage bags. 

Initial thoughts: 

The bottle: packaging is impeccable!

(Slightly damaged but I blame the shipping courier for that, considering it was crammed in my mailbox.)

Upon opening the box I was taken back by how well manufactured the products actually are. I was impressed by the fact that it’s not cheaply made plastic, rather durable thick plastic with sturdy rubber like material rims which I really liked. 

I must admit even as a woman, a mother and an infant teacher I did get a giggle out of the bottles shocking likeness to a breast. 

I also appreciated the fact that the nanobébé bottle came with a locking storage cap, and a lid to shield the nipple while in transport. 

The storage bags: as someone with texture sensitivity I appreciated the feel of the bags themselves both empty and in use. 

You can FEEL THE QUALITY!

The extra nipples:

Again quality is evident right of the bat. Prior to even using them I can say with confidence that nanobébé is a brand that puts both thought and effort into their products from the drawing board to the store shelf, or in my case straight to your mailbox. 

Use:

(After using the products for 3 days.)

I used 1 bag for milk storage each day. 

They fill and freeze well and it’s an extremely nice aspect that it stores FLAT!

They’re easy to write on and writing remains clear and doesn’t smudge as well. 

The baby response to the bottle was overall a positive one, of course like anything with babies they like what they like and overall nanobébé was a fan favorite. 

The direct pump adapter works well and it isn’t awkward to pump directly into as someone may initially have thought. (Honestly, that someone was me. I was wrong and I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.) 

This adapter gives a whole new meaning to pump & serve. Mama approves. 

The only thing I didn’t like was having to transfer milk from one bottle to the nanobébé after heating. Now, the only reason I had to do this was because I don’t own a nanobébé warmer or a warmer that accommodates the size of this bottle brand. 

After this experience I may be looking into getting one though. 

Overall I give these products (with babies’ willing help of course) a 9 out of 10!

Way to go nanobébé! Great job!, great products! Great customer experience!
