Our partners at Babies R' Us allowed us to showcase many fabulous products that are mom/kid tested. You can get them all at Babies R' Us and they have a reward program now, which is awesome especially if you're like me and stock up on all your items at once since they always seem to have everything (and then some) that I'm looking for. That's a good and bad thing...right! Here are few to check out.

1. Summer Day and Night Handheld Color Video Monitor--I have this one and so does a friend of mine. Minimal interference and night vision. You can hear him breathe if you want to. When Pierce is sick, I leave the monitor on, so I can just roll over and check on him. This made the transition to his own room a lot easier.
2. Germguardian Ultrasonic Humidifier--this is the best humidifier I've ever owned. It has nano-silver technology to fight mold and bacteria in the tank. It has a warm and cool setting. You don't have any filters to replace...great, great humidifier that has a large tank so you can let it run on high all night and then some and don't have to refill it.
3. Floppy Seat Shopping Cart Seat Cover--one of the most germ-infested things is a public highchair or shopping cart. This is great because it covers the entire area and comes with a carrying bag and is machine washable.
4. Baby Bjorn Carrier (Original)--I have this and several other moms I know. This is really great and easy to operate, which is important. The last thing you want is to have to try to hold your baby, adjust straps, etc. Once you get it right for you, it's even easy enough if someone else needs to adjust it and use it. Let me just say that it's a lot easier to adjust to your "settings" than your side mirrors on your car. Anyone else hate it when the hubby does this? I need the memory setting obviously. Anyway, moving on...
5. Leap Frog Fridge Farm 12 mths+-- This magnetic animal set makes up to 25 combinations and several moms on MomsLikeMe.com love this and say it keeps the kiddos busy, especially when making dinner or cleaning the kitchen. There is an alphabet version moms love too. I'm definitely getting one of these for Pierce for Christmas.
6. Fisher Price Go Baby Go Bounce & Spin Zebra 12-36 mths.-I bought this for my friend's son for his 1st birthday and he loves it. My son got it for his 1st birthday as well and they both love it. It bounces, swivels, lights up and plays music. If he's not riding it, he's standing up next to it playing with the spinning barrel on the front or other spinning items.
7. Boon Flo Water Deflector and Protective Faucet Cover-this little gem is great. It's great for rinsing hair or filling smaller bathtubs even. It has a bubble bath dispenser inside and you just push the button and it dispenses into the water. Bonus-10% of profits of this product are donated to children's charities.
8. Fisher price Rainforest Bath Center-I had this bathtub and what's handy is the insert with the pillow. This is great for babies and grows with your little one as well. It comes with bath toys as a bonus.
9. Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon-this product rocks my face off. I had it at the Race for the Cure when all of us moms were all trying to feed the babes in their strollers and such. Several moms had to know where to get this one. You put the food inside of it, squeeze it, and it squirts out onto the spoon and has a cap to seal it and store it. Very handy when you're on the go. Tip: bring the jars of food, so you can refill it if he's still hungry. If there's one complaint...it could be a little bigger maybe but overall, love it.
10. MAM Orthodontic Pacifiers-come in several designs and many moms on MomsLikeMe.com swear by them. My son loves them too.
11. Baby Einstein Table Topper Disposable Placemat-this sanitary placemat sticks in place. It's on-the-go protection from germs, dirt and cleaning chemical on restaurant tables. There are other versions that you can color and such as well. Tables are another germ danger zone. Bonus-this product is eco-friendly too.
12. Playskool Busy Basics Ball Popper--I first learned about this product on MomsLikeMe.com and a friend of mine I met on the site has one. We went to dinner at their house and her 8 mth. old and 3-year-old both were playing with it. Then, my 1-year-old loved it too. It blows the balls up in the air and makes fun sounds as they shoot out of the top. Babies R' Us let us give one of these away and the grandma who won it, is giving it to her 16-month-old grandaughter for Christmas. She won't be dissapointed!
