BuggyGuard; if you love it, lock it

For those who are out and about with their strollers often or how about those chariot lovers, I have an awesome find for you. You need to check out the BuggyGuard, this handy little gadget is a lock for your stroller. There are 4 different characters; a panda, a monkey, a hippo and a pig.


Each character is equipped with a four foot long cable and a three number combination lock. The lock attaches to a stationary bar on your stroller by velcro and the cable locks the stroller to itself, another stroller or a stationary object. We currently are in the market for a new stroller so I was lucky enough to have a friend with her own baby boutique who allowed me to test the BuggyGaurd on a large variety of strollers. We found that some of the bars on the stroller were not round which made the installation of the guard itself not as tight because it's shaped for a round bar but it still worked well, it was also not possible to attach the front wheel to the back wheel on any of the strollers while the animal was attached to a bar. We were able to attach both the front wheels together or both the back wheels together, this option though didn't make us very happy though as technically someone could tilt the stroller onto the two unlocked wheels and push your stroller away. However the option of locking the stroller to a stationary object would work great. I really could have used the BuggyGuard when we last went to Vancouver, one of their malls has a little train that rides around the mall but you have to leave your stroller behind and hope it's still their when you get back. This would have been great to lock our stroller to a nearby bench instead of quilting someone's dad to push it to the place you get off the train for us, haha. I can also see it coming in handy for those stroller walks that end up at a coffee shop where your stroller is to big and cumbersome to bring inside. The lock can permanently stay attached to your stroller and you get to set your own lock code but remember it because there is no way to reset the number.


The BuggyGuard retails for $30CAD and can be purchased at Dear-Born Baby a Canadian online store or see here for a list of retailers in your area.

Mmmmmm peanut butter happiness

Mmmmmm peanut butter......Don't you love it? Peanut Butter is a hot commodity in our home. I go to Costco about twice a month at least and each time I have to pick up 2 large jars of Kraft Peanut Butter because it goes so fast! The biggest offenders in our home are the daddy and preschooler L. The daddy globs it on like it's going out of style and I've many a times walked in on that man hiding in the kitchen eating a spoon full of peanut butter, ok let's face it sometime there was no spoon involved. Preschool L on the other hand is definitely heading in his daddy's footsteps, he would eat peanut butter sandwiches or toast for every meal if you let him. Teen C is also guilty of eating his fair share of peanut butter. I love peanut butter as well but not as much as the boys here do, my favorite would be a thick peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich.......or 3 haha. I was ecstatic when I heard about Kraft's new Whipped Peanut Butter & Dip and even more thrilled to try it out. When it arrived I've never seen so much excitement over a jar of peanut butter before, I actually had to hide it! This new peanut butter looks and tastes like regular peanut butter but it has a more lighter, airy, whipped texture. We have been having fun experimenting and eating it with different things, crackers, fruit, using it as a dip and a spread. Our favorite so far is cut up granny smith apples dipped in whipped peanut butter. I'm eating some right now in fact. Another great idea would be using it as an icing for cupcakes or cake for your little peanut butter lovers birthday party assuming none of the other children have allergies. You could also just use it for sandwiches but really it's much more fun to be creative and leave the regular peanut butter for boring old sandwiches. Kraft Whipped Peanut Butter & Dip gets a huge thumbs up from everyone here at Baby Let's Shop and it will be taking a new permanent place on our grocery list from now on.
New Kraft Whipped Peanut Butter & Dip can be found in your local grocery store and retails for $5.99CAD for a 750g jar, look for it with the white lid and stock up because it won't last long in a house full of peanut butter lovers!
