Real Mom Review by Minnelle K: Maxi-Cosi Coral XP

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

A special thank you to Minnelle K for reviewing this car seat.

I’ve been using the new Coral XP infant car seat from Maxi-Cosi. In my opinion, this is the most important thing for the baby’s safety. The infant car seat comes in three colors, and I chose cobalt blue. I love taking him around in style and really enjoying the convenience of this seat.

The outer shell of this chair actually is the car seat. It has an inner shell that you can remove to take into stores quickly and conveniently. There’s a button inside the inner shell that you push, and it pops right out. Once the shell is out of the carrying base, baby is on-the-go! The inner shell only weighs about 5 pounds, so even with a baby, it’s still lightweight for carrying.

There’s a couple of ways that you can carry this once it’s out of the shell, either with the side handles or also cross-body. In any of the carrying modes, it’s very convenient and comfortable for mom. If you choose to, you can also carry it traditionally as an entire unit. It’s even compatible with a lot of strollers on the market!

This car seat really amazing and so easy to use. There’s just so many different ways you can use it during the baby’s infant stages. I highly recommend this seat!

Thank you to Maxi-Cosi for making this sponsored post possible.

Changing the Car Seat Game Completely – The Super Easy-to-Carry Maxi-Cosi Coral XP!

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Thank you to Liz Elliott for reviewing this product – Liz is a home & style guru and blogger of Franc and Eli.

We recently upgraded our car seat to the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP and I wish we’d done it sooner! 

The Maxi-Cosi Coral XP is a new type of car seat that is totally changing the car seat game by making it so much easier to carry your baby.  Even though a lot of traditional car seats are “light weight,” they’re still pretty bulky and awkward to carry and can get heavy once you add a baby!

I was struggling to carry our old car seat – I often found myself carrying it using some weird arm positions and essentially holding one arm with the other and still struggling. In one of our first outings with Wren, we took her to the beach. I was carrying Wren in her old car seat by the big handle, and some drinks in the other. I only made it about halfway down the walkway to the beach before I couldn’t carry everything anymore! I needed my other hand to hold up the arm that was carrying the car seat, so I had to stop and wait for my husband to come back and grab the rest of the stuff from me! I remember thinking “I thought this thing was supposed to be lightweird / easy to carry?”

And then we got the Coral XP and now carrying Wren is a breeze!

The Coral XP has 3 parts, an inner carrier, an outer carrier shell, and a base. When you’re carrying your baby in the car seat, you can carry just the super lightweight inner carrier! It only weighs about five pounds. There are two ways to carry the inner carrier (and both are so much easier than wrangling the handle of a traditional car seat):

First, you can carry it using the two side handles. Second, you can carry it across your body using the cross-body strap. This is my favorite way – it distributes the weight to your back and is really comfortable to wear! You can also carry the outer carrier shell (with the inner carrier inside) like a “traditional” car seat.

When you’re taking it in and out of your car, you can pop out just the inner carrier (leaving the outer carrier shell and base in the car), or you can pop out the inner carrier and outer carrier shell together as one unit.  Both are super simple!

I’m so happy we upgraded our car seat to the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP – I feel so much more coordinated when I’m carrying Wren! Honestly, felt so awkward previously that it didn’t seem entirely safe. Now I feel so much more confident and comfortable carrying her around. Plus, I always have a completely free second hand!

The Coral XP is made using Maxi-Cosi’s “Pure-Cosi” fabrics, made without wool or added fire retardant treatment, that are machine washable and dryer safe! Wren loves it too – and it’s easy to get her in and out of it.

Thank you to Maxi-Cosi for making this sponsored post possible.

All You Need To Know About The Thule Spring Stroller

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

One of the most critical decisions that every expecting parent has to make is selecting a baby stroller for their precious little one, and this decision can be tough. This is because a baby stroller is a product that you will use often for a remarkably long time. Therefore, it needs to be durable and well-equipped to serve you and your baby for years. Thule grasped this need of parents very seriously and, came up with a multi-functional stroller, Thule Spring. Read on for more about this exceptional baby stroller.

Why should you consider the Thule Spring  stroller?

Thule Spring has several aspects that are very useful for parents. Whether you are going to be a new parent or you are an experienced one, you’ll love this stroller.

Ease of use: This stroller can easily fold with only one hand. The ergonomics will do the hard work. SImply put your hand on the lever below the seat pad and lift it like a lightweight suitcase. Plus, at only 21 pounds, you can easily climb those stairs in the park with the folded Thule Spring Stroller in one hand and baby in the other.

Simple to store: The dimensions after folding, are merely 12.6 x 17.7 x 30 inches, and it only covers a 23.4-inch wide area. That’s 30% smaller than a traditional 3-wheel stroller. It even possesses self-standing capability, so you can set it down and keep your hands free.

Urban strolling: The Thule Spring Stroller is designed for urban terrain. It has large, 8.5” foam filled tires, accompanied with a compact design and smooth handling which makes it perfect for routine use, plus, the freedom to go wherever you want. The stroller’s adjustable canopy comes with UPF 50+ UV protection, high-quality fabric that gives it a fashionable, sleek look.

What makes it a perfect baby stroller?

The Thule Spring can be used from birth with the Maxi-Cosi or Chicco car seat adapter accessory. There are several different color combos to choose from to fit any parent’s style. The stroller is well-ventilated, comfortable, and durable for long-lasting use. The stroller has a 5-point harness and a step-in footrest for independent toddlers. One of our favorite features is the spacious 11L basket for all parent and baby needs. There are also several accessories available, such as a cup holder, snack tray, and glider board to customize your stroller.

Thule has designed such an impressive baby stroller that no parent can ignore. This baby stroller is a classic example of manufacturers who put their heart and soul into designing their product. The result of such hard-work, concern about customer’s needs, and dedication, is a perfect product for parents, the Thule Spring Stoller.

Thank you to Thule for making this sponsored post possible.

BOB Gear® Alterrain™ Jogging Stroller: For Moms Needing a Solution in a Global Pandemic

by Christine Swearingen 1 Comment

One of our Gugu Guru team members, Katie, recently tested out the new BOB Gear® Alterrain™ jogging stroller. Check out her thoughts below! Hint: she LOVED it!

Before I was pregnant, I ran 2 miles every day. Getting back into shape mentally and physically was a big challenge for me. My family lived too far away to come to help out and my husband works long hours. Faced with a global pandemic, I needed something that could entertain my 19-month-old while giving me a “break”. 

Thankfully, the new BOB Gear® Alterrain™ Jogging Stroller lets me take some time outside, but also has the most incredible features for the whole family. When I received this stroller, I instantly noticed the ease of the one-handed opening and closing component, which is key with a little one in the other arm. When we go outside for walks/runs, my daughter Isla has a place for her snacks and drinks with the new side pockets for storage. I never have to worry about pausing to take them in and out of a diaper bag each time she is hungry or thirsty.

Another key component that I love is the ease of use for both my husband and I. He is 6’3″ and I am 5’4″. The adjustable handlebar makes it so easy for both of us to push the stroller comfortably. Finally, the air-filled tires and BOB Gear’s newest SmoothShox™ exclusive suspension system make jogging or walking on bumpy sidewalks and off-road paths so much smoother for our little passenger. 

BOB Gear® really thought of it all when it comes to this jogging stroller. Heading into the winter months, this jogging stroller is my #1 to keep both Isla & I feeling happy, healthy and ready for the new year.

Your Get Outdoors Guide from Summer™

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Feeling cooped up indoors? Getting out and about with your little ones is an opportunity for learning, bonding, and creating lifelong memories. But, let’s face it: It’s not always as easy or stress-free as we’d like it to be.

While plenty of families make believe perfect, effortless trips on social media, if we’re being real, orchestrating a family gathering is tough. Luckily, these gadgets are here to make things go just a tad bit smoother.

Gadgets for On-The-Go

Forget old-fashioned car seats. The Summer™ Myria Travel System is an all-in-one solution to your growing child’s travel needs. It starts with the Affirm 335 Rear-Facing Car Seat, which ensures the best in safety and peace of mind while you’re on the go. However, this travel system is built to come with you from car to store to anywhere you choose to travel.

With the carrier conversion mode, this car seat easily turns into a stroller or infant carriage so you can bring baby with you everywhere. Meanwhile, with the one-hand fold, you’ll never have to worry when your hands are full. As they grow older, the rear-facing car seat is also convertible into a toddler seat, with reversible seating options allow them to face you or outwards.

When you’re out and about, keep your baby safe from the sun and weather with the extra-large canopy, which features the perfectly sized peekaboo window so you can check on your little one without ever disturbing them. Meanwhile, the large storage basket, adjustable recline, parent cupholder, child cupholder, and snack tray for your little one all go to show that Summer has thought of it all, once again.

Tools for When You’re Out-and-About

Looking to setup a picnic, enjoy a game, or just spend some time at the park? The The Summer™ Pop ‘N Sit® Booster gives your little one a comfy seat while helping to keep them entertained while you make memories with your spouse, friends, and older children, too!

The Summer™ Pop ‘N Sit® Booster is designed for indoor and outdoor use, accommodating children from 6 months up to 4 years. It supports up to 37 pounds and with its fast, easy, and compact fold, you’ll be inclined to take it everywhere so that your little one is never left bored.

This activity floor and booster seat all-in-one will give your kid plenty to do while keeping ease of setup (and cleanup) in mind. The removable and machine washable fabric makes cleanup a breeze when playtime is over and the removable and dishwasher-safe tray ensures your child always has a hygienic surface to enjoy their snacks where they can’t make a mess.

Additional features, including a 3-point safety harness, chair straps, a storage pocket, and a carry bag, make the Summer™ Pop ‘N Sit® Booster the perfect gadget for when you’re out-and-about or entertaining at home.

The Scoop: The NEW Maxi-Cosi Coral XP

by Christine Swearingen 2 Comments

When we were preparing for our baby’s arrival, we tried to keep in mind what we did on a daily basis. We live in the city, but frequently visit family in the suburbs, and wanted baby gear that could work well in both locations. The Maxi-Cosi Coral XP has been a perfect fit for our lifestyle.

The four different carrying options allow me to keep my baby close to me no matter where I’m going. When I make quick stops to pick up take out, grab a few things at the market, or run errands, I only have to take the lightweight inner carrier of the Coral XP and carry my baby using either the handles or cross-body strap. I’ve found these to be way more comfortable than the traditional handle found on other infant car seats, too.

When we visit our family, we simply attach the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP to our stroller and take long walks. At home, we have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to our apartment, so being able to wear the lightweight carrier while having another hand free to bring up our bags or groceries is super helpful. I really appreciate the super soft PureCosi fabrics the Coral XP has since I prefer not to have added flame retardant chemicals on my baby gear. In general, the fabrics are easy to clean and retain their original color and softness even after a couple post-blow out washes. The canopy is a breathable material and provides ample sun protection.

The base is easy to install: the retractable LATCH connectors hooked right onto the anchors in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I love how you can hear the LATCH tighten as you push the base down! We’ve installed the base using the seatbelt instead, and it was simple to do. The Coral XP’s belt path feature has been especially convenient for when we use a rideshare service to get around. The color-changing safety indicators around the base make me feel confident that it’s installed properly every time. There’s plenty of room between the passenger seat and the Coral XP and we’ll be able to comfortably fit another car seat when the time comes for baby #2. The load leg is an added safety feature that we’ve used from the start:  we really wanted an infant car seat that offered this!

Overall, the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP has been the perfect choice for our family and has made our day-to-day life so much easier. We absolutely love it and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends!

Expecting Multiples? Our Top Must-Haves

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I was extremely shocked when I heard that I was expecting my second set of twins. My identical boys were 2 and a half years old and while I knew they would be the best big brothers, I couldn’t believe I was going through this again! As Gugu Guru’s Director of Concierge, my mind immediately went to the products and gear that I would need for our second set (this time, boy/girl twins) who were going to be born in a completely different season than their older bros. Below is my latest list of must-have products for parents of multiples.

 

Newborn/4th Trimester Must-Haves

Frida Mom Products: When I had my first set of twins, I had heard so much about this Nose Frida and how wonderful it was. Quickly, I converted to their whole lineup of items and was so excited when they launched their ‘Mom’ line. I am a HUGE fan of their Upside Down Peri bottle and their Disposable Underwear were extremely comfortable, especially after my C-Section.

Belli Skincare: When you have multiples, you don’t always have time for a long skincare routine. Generally, I need to slap on some lotion, rub on sunscreen and I’m out the door! I love Belli’s tinted sunscreen as well as their Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, which helped greatly as I grew.

Simple Clothing: This sounds so silly, but it’s also so practical. Find clothing that holds up to lots of washing, is a style you like, and is easy to put on. With double the diaper changes, zippers or magnetic closures are a must! Some of my favorite brands are Magnetic Me, Little Sleepies, and Monica + Andy.

Love to Dream Swaddles: These have continued to be a favorite for our family. They are so easy to put on and great for midnight diaper changes. They wash easily (important when you’re wearing them twice as fast) and allow your little one to have his or her hands up. Now that my little ones are 3 months old, we’re slowly transitioning to their Swaddle Up Transition Bags.

Twiniversity: Twiniversity strikes again! They continue to be my favorite resource to share with twin parents. The site is full of great blog posts written by twin parents on that multiple mentality! Also, their founder, Nat has written the best book for expectant twin parents – What to Do When You’re Having Two.

 

Feeding Must-Haves

Easy to Use Bottles: When you have double the mouths to feed, it is important that you have bottles that you can assemble and clean as quickly as possible. I actually use a couple different types of bottles with my little ones, depending on our situation. When my babies are battling reflux, there is no better bottle than Dr. Brown’s Options Plus. They have an excellent venting system, are easy to clean, and are easy to assemble. I have also loved using the food-grade silicone bottles by Olábaby. These have minimal parts, are lightweight, and are also extremely easy to clean. Plus, they have accessories to work with your pump or turn into a sippy cup down the road.

Baby Brezza: From day 1, my twins were receiving a mix of formula and breastmilk. Feeding two babies is not easy, regardless of what you choose to feed. Both the Formula Pro-Advanced and the Formula Mixer Pitcher allowed me to quickly prepare bottles. Nothing better than efficiency when you have to listen to two screaming babes! Side note – they just launched a new diaper bag, as well, which was great for our road trip this summer!

Feeding Accessories: With two babies to take care of, the number of bottles we go through per day is truly fascinating. I have found that surrounding myself with proper accessories makes the cleaning process significantly easier. The Dr. Brown’s Dishwashing Basket, Boon Lawn Drying Rack (with fun extras), and an easy to use pump (like the Motif Luna or Elvie) have dramatically improved our daily feeding experience.

 

On The Go and Playtime Must-Haves

An Excellent Stroller: My #1 must-have for any parents of multiples is a good stroller! I would even argue that 2 strollers can potentially be a game changer for twins. I love keeping our Joovy Twin Roo + in the car for easy in/out access with our car seats. This is great for running errands, attending doctor’s appointments, and dropping off my older set of twins (when COVID doesn’t keep us at home) at activities.

The Bugaboo Donkey3 has also become our beloved all-terrain stroller. My babies – who are nearly 4 months old – still fit comfortably in the bassinets and my older boys love riding on the glider board to “help push” the babies. I can easily get 3 of my 4 kiddos on this stroller with no worries about lack of storage. It has a huge basket, great wheels, and an easy to fold up frame. I love that I can convert it to a single stroller when I need one (which is rare in our house!) and the side luggage basket is amazing. Plus, the bassinet frame becomes the seat frame, which gives us one less item to store. I always love multifunctional items for twins!

Infant Car Seats: When I am helping expectant parents figure out what car seat makes the most sense for their needs, I often focus on 3 things – weight, safety features/install, and price. Nuna has done an excellent job with their Pipa line creating car seats that are lightweight, have added safety features and are extremely easy to install. Their new relx car seat base is a game changer, allowing you to recline the seat within the base and having an even easier install than the intial base. One great thing to note – all Pipa seats will fit in the relx base (and the new rx seat comes with it)!

A Great Diaper Bag with Lots of Storage: I have tried out loads of diaper bags with my kiddos. I do think certain diaper bags are best for certain situations. Unfortunately, many of the ‘twin’ diaper bags fell short in my opinion, as they are just too big. I strongly believe that I will fill any diaper bag I use, no matter how big or small. To me, a diaper bag must have enough pockets (but not so many that they take up valuable inner space), great open storage, and easy to access bottle spots. If it’s a backpack, that’s just a plus! Baby K’tan recently launched their diaper bags and I am a huge fan! They are easy to wipe down, easy to fill, and have inner storage that makes sense.

A great playmat for 2 babies: As a mom of two sets of twins, I try to keep some sort of control on the amount of stuff in our house. I am not a minimalist, but I try to maintain a level of simplicity. One way I do this is by focusing on items that can function for both babies instead of one at a time.  The Lovevery play mat is a large playmat that will hold both babies for play, tummy time, and when I need to get tasks done around the house. It is extremely high-quality, easy to wash, and comes with excellent accessories that grow with your little one. I also love their Play Kits as well as Toys that provide all of my kiddos with age-appropriate developmentally based manipulatives.

Easy to Store Gear: Gear that is easy to store is essential with multiple babes. I love bouncers that fold flat, swings with small footprints and loungers that help with playtime. Check out some of my top choices by Baby Björn, 4moms, and Boppy.

An easy-to-use Carrier: I love wearing my babies. With 4 kiddos to take care of, it’s nice to have a hands-free way to hold one baby while tending to one of the others. Plus, it counts as tummy time anytime that little one is off of his/her back. I have tested out a number of carriers over the years and with my very short torso, I have a hard time finding a good fit. The Baby K’tan is great for the early days. I love the kangaroo carry and this helps keep my little ones snuggled close. The Boppy ComfyFit and ComfyChic carriers are super comfy and great from 8lbs on. They are easy to put on and are extremely adjustable and are great for wearing around the house or short walks around the neighborhood. I also love the Lascal m1 Carrier. Providing excellent ergonomic support for both parent and baby, this carrier is made of high-quality, breathable fabric and is great for all activities.

 

Nursery Must-Haves

Great Diaper Changing Products: I am a huge fan of all fragrance-free diapers. My littles all suffer from eczema so keeping parabens, fragrance, and dyes away is incredibly important to me. Some of my favorites are Eco Pea, Coterie, and Pampers Pure. Fragrance-free wipes are also so wonderful in those early days. Look for wipes that are 99% water initially. I love Water Wipes, Noleo, and Huggies Natural Care.

Crane Humidifier: My little ones always end up with a case of the sniffles right around 3 months. With a dry bedroom, I’m always looking for ways to moisten up the air. This will instantly help my little ones breathe and sleep, which means I get more shut-eye each night! Crane has the best line of cool mist humidifiers for your nursery and beyond! I keep one in each of my twins’ bedrooms every night!

Simple Swaddles: The Ollie Swaddle was great for us in the early days! This gave my little ones that tight swaddled feeling, ensuring longer stretches of safe sleep each night. I also love the swaddle blankets by Copper Pearl. They are buttery soft, stretchy, and a great size for long-term swaddling and beyond.

Great Crib Sheets: I am a HUGE fan of having loads of crib sheets for twinnies. There will inevitably be loads of messes in those cribs and the last thing you want to do is run out of clean sheets. I always have 4-5 sets for each baby on hand and my favorite sheets are by Carousel Designs. They have loads of organic options in fun patterns and you can even personalize your own bedding!

Bath/Teething Musts: My favorite hooded bath towels must be soft, cozy, and the right size for longterm use. I love the towels by Loulou Lollipop, which come as a set with a matching washcloth. They are adorable and so soft for that precious skin!

Strollers for Babies: Rock + Stroll with the Mockingbird

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Every baby needs a safe set of wheels, and it’s always a bonus if it’s designed for a parent’s need-a-third-hand-lifestyle. The Mockingbird stroller provides this and so much more for avid stroller users who dream about a reliable, always-there-for-you option.

Since safety comes first, the Mockingbird stroller has exceeded the state and federal requirements, and internally, underwent one of the most rigorous testing programs in the industry.

Then, of course, there are those unpredictable parenting moments. We all know that walks do not always go as planned. The unexpected is so innovatively addressed with the one-hand functions: There is a one-hand fold, one-hand child bar pivot, and a one-hand safety harness release. If you’re carrying babe in one arm, this convenient feature is seriously a game-changer.

For next-level coverage during those unpredictable moments, the premium, durable materials simplify the unknown (think milk spills, random downpours). The canopy is water, stain and weather resistant, while the easy-to-clean nylon seat welcomes messes.

And NOW Mockingbird has launched its double stroller. This brand new model stroller launched during quarantine and has already sold out SIX times! The single-to-double stroller is priced at $395 and comes with one seat. A second seat kit is sold separately for $120. If you purchase them together, they are bundled at $495, making it a full double stroller for under $500! Here are all the awesome features:

  • 17 various configurations (works with car seats and the Mockingbird bassinet)
  • Customizable Designs
  • UPF 50+ all-weather canopy includes a see-through peekaboo window and an attachable full coverage sunshade
  • Go-anywhere wheels mirror the smooth ride of air tires, minus the potential to pop or go flat
  • A generously sized basket holds all the essentials up to 25 lbs
  • And, of course, a Lifetime Warranty

Since cost is usually a factor when developing a plan for our endless supply of all things kid related, the value the Mockingbird brings is substantial. Its direct-to-consumer model cuts out the markup in the middle—saving customers at least 40%. Also, due to this model, Mockingbird is able to offer an at-home trial period of 30 days, and they provide free shipping both ways. We love thoughtful customer service strategies and totally appreciate that.

Lastly, since we travel like we’re off to another country every time we leave the house, the eye-popping amount of storage space can house your on-the-go essentials including (but not limited to, of course) diaper bag, extra clothes, umbrella…you know the drill.

As you can see, the Mockingbird stroller keeps convenience for the parent, and safety and comfort for the babe at the forefront of its thoughtful design. We love it—and would love to know your thoughts. Take it out for a spin and let us know what you think in the comments below! You can learn a little more about Mockingbird here, too.  

Thank you to Mockingbird for making this sponsored post possible – we are so appreciative!

Real Mom Review: Zoe XLC Single Stroller

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Our Real Mom Reviewer, Shawna, is crazy about the Zoe XLC Single Stroller! Shawna tried the Babyzen Yoyo and the Mountain Buggy Nano V2, but feels the Zoe is superior to the competition. Read her thoughts and details about the Zoe XLC below.

Shawna W.: “Not only is the Zoe sleek looking but it is the easiest umbrella stroller to use by far. With one simple movement, you can open and close it. It also folds up to be extremely compact with a strap that allows for easy carrying. I have tried two other popular brands and the Zoe has exceeded both in appearance and practicality. For a mom on the go, I would highly recommend this product!”

What you need to know about the Zoe Stroller:

  • The Zoe Stroller is great for travel and everyday use.
  • It only weighs 11 pounds, accommodates a child up to 50 pounds and features an amazing canopy.
  • When folded, the stroller fits in a small trunk or overhead compartment of an airplane.
