Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat

Installing a car seat can be a frustrating task but not with the new Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat. Britax’s One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat has changed car seat installation forever. Gone are the days of blindly threading the seat belt through a car seat and hoping the installation was correct. Click Tight technology allows you to easily pinch open the seat, insert the seatbelt through the seat and click the seat closed. It is as easy as buckling a seatbelt!

At Gugu Guru we love the long lifespan of the One4Life. It can be used from birth (5 pounds) to 120 pounds. The One4Life can be used both rear and forward-facing and has a 10-year expiration, eliminating the need to purchase multiple car seats.

In addition to a long list of the great safety features, Britax has kept your child’s comfort a top priority. The One4Life has nine different recline positions, stay-put comfort pads to prevent neck rub and ventilated mesh for maximum happiness during car trips.

If you are registering for your little one or want easier car seat installation, consider the Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat. Thanks to Britax for sending a One4Life for testing. The thoughts mentioned in this article are my own.

What’s New on Gugu: January 29, 2020

This week we are highlighting a number of multifunctional products for parents and babes alike! Some are great options for the nursery, while others will make feeding and playtime easier. All of these are great gifts for expectant parents and products that we expect to make a huge splash in the baby industry. Check them out today!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Giving Cradle: We love to highlight companies that give back. Giving Cradle’s biggest goal is that all mothers and newborns “have equal access to a healthy start.” They have launched a variety of products and donation opportunities, which help moms in South Asia with access to medical and care items for their newborns. Plus, they are about to launch their beautiful cradle, a safe cradle made of bamboo, breathable mesh, and removable washable fabric. Proceeds from every cradle purchase will benefit these moms and babies.

Unilove 3 in 1 Feed Me Booster: A line of high quality products, we are super excited about Unilove’s Feed Me Booster. This multifunctional 3-in-1 booster can be used on a chair, the floor, or as an armchair. It can also be used with or without the tray! The tray swivels and the seat folds flat for easy storage/travel. Also, the height is adjustable to help reach any table. Check them out today!

Regalo MyPlayMat: The MyPlayMat from Regalo will be your new lightweight and foldable best friend! Great for both indoors and outdoors, this playmat will give your little one ample space to move around for tummy time, early crawling, and beyond! While especially great for small spaces, this mat will find a place in any home. It is also super easy to clean and comes with two different patterns.

The Baby Dream Machine: The Baby Dream Machine is an amazing 5 in 1 product, which serves as a night light, sound machine, cool-mist humidifier, aromatherapy, and red light therapy. All of these modes are designed to help your little one get full nights of peaceful sleep (which means you get peaceful nights of sleep, too!). Plus it is a super cute design and will fit into any nursery!

Novogratz Kids Collection: Late last year Novogratz launched their own Kids + Baby furniture line, perfect for high style budget-friendly parents! Their crib options are simplistic and beautiful. We are also going gaga over their bookcases, which add a huge design pop while adding storage for under $100!

This will instantly turn your Contours Options Elite into a fun riding board (or seat) for your older kiddo while still safely and easily transporting baby. The perfect addition for your growing and aging family!

Boo Boo Balls: Created by a college student, Boo Boo Balls are adorable plush first aid kits meant to help your little ones biggest ouchies! Complete with everything you’d need to make those boo boos go away, this is the perfect thing to have at home and in the car!

Avyn Bras: Another disrupter to the nursing bra market, we love Avyn’s approach to comfort, style, and function. Founded by two women, they are revolutionizing the nursing/pumping game with one-handed machine washable (AND DRYER FRIENDLY) bras. The perfect gift for your friend who’s expecting a little one or two… or three!

Skip Hop Go Envi Eco-Friendly Diaper Backpack: Calling all eco-friendly families! Skip Hop has recently launched their newest bag, created from recycled plastic bottles. We are huge fans of backpacks at Gugu Guru, especially for moms of multiples. This will keep your hands free while holding all of your necessities for the day.

Larktale Strollers: Gear Up for Endless Adventures with Babe

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

If you haven’t heard of the award-winning baby gear brand Larktale already, your on-the-go life is about to change. It all starts with the name. According to the brand’s innovative founders, Larktale’s mission is embedded into their name: ‘Lark’ means adventure and ‘tale’ is a story. They want users of Larktale products to continue to write their story, and embark upon new adventures—with their little one in tow.

With this philosophy in mind, Larktale’s team of parents created a lightweight, safe, high-quality product line that lifts the confidence of first-time parents and gives them access to an out-and-about lifestyle without the anxiety. Not only are the strollers reliable, functional, fashionable and easy—they are also highly affordable when compared to the options available in the market.

Winner of Best-All-Around Stroller for Urban Parents, the Coast Stroller is celebrated for its full-sized features designed in a compact, easy-to-navigate size. The quick trigger release lets parents and caregivers fold and unfold in seconds. While in use, parents can easily navigate through crowds, shopping aisles and the subway. Then, the ultra-compact folded stroller can be carried without superhuman strength up long stairwells and stores easily in apartments and trunks.

If you’re looking for a green-friendly stroller, Larktale’s Chit Chat Stroller won the 2019 Eco Excellence Award for its recyclable design. Weighing only 14.5 lbs, it’s easy to maneuver and can be picked up by parents and caretakers with ease. Its luxurious look, convenient build and awesome colors make outings enjoyable—for everyone. Plus, it makes impromptu park visits and coffee dates oh-so possible in that first year. An added bonus: if you don’t pass this stroller onto another family, it is recyclable! So, you can responsibly dispose of it.

When we learned about Larktale and their dreamy mission around new stories and adventures, we couldn’t wait to share it all with you. When your little one comes, it doesn’t mean the fun has to come to a pause. Keep your journey going, keep writing your stories, never stop exploring. Your family will thank you.

Best Cool Mist Humidifier: Crane

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

Why do you need the best cool mist humidifier? Three words: that first cold. Oy. Poor little babe is sniffling, coughing, being introduced to devices that go up their nose—it’s not really fun. For either of you. But, the amazing part of that first cold? You learn about a laundry list of items that become your go-to sniffle staples.

One of these essentials is a cool mist humidifier, and luckily, we found the best one. Say hello to the Crane Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier—the genius, filter-free option that is the key to peaceful Zzz’s.

Moist air is essential for stuffed baby nostrils (and adult nostrils for that matter). It makes it easier to breathe, especially when you’re congested and not enjoying that new-to-you annoying feeling. It helps babes sleep better and eat with a little less frustration. Humidity also makes it easier to clean mucus-filled noses—anything to make that job easier, we’ll take it.

Since the goal is to promote sweet snoozes, the Crane’s quiet-as-a-whisper sound doesn’t interrupt babe’s favorite lullaby. Plus, unlike many other humidifiers that require a great deal of cleaning to prevent bacteria build-up, the anti-microbial material reduces mold and bacteria growth by up to 99.96%. It also shuts off automatically when the water level gets low—one less thing to worry about at 4 a.m.

We love the incredible range of colors and styles that beautifully complement its aesthetically pleasing design (a next-level stylish option that outdoes the bulky tank). In addition to the rainbow of awesomeness available, you can also choose from Hello Kitty, an elephant, frog, monkey and more.

Crane just released their top fill humidifier, which is easy to fill, dishwasher safe and super easy to clean. It comes with an aroma diffuser and optional color changing nightlight.

If you don’t yet have a cool mist humidifier, you might want to purchase one ahead of the first cold—to avoid that midnight trip to the pharmacy. Good luck! Let us know what you think in the comments below.

We have found some excellent new products this week, including a limited edition car seat stroller and a fun feeding accessory. These items will all make great gifts for any new parents-to-be. As we get closer to the end of the year, look out for many new products coming for 2020!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Doona Dusk Limited Edition: Exclusive to PishPoshBaby.com, Doona has released their sleekest stroller car seat. Go straight from car to strolling in elegance! Complete with leatherette detailing, a complimentary rain cover and essentials bag, we love the upgraded details!

Grabease All Over Bib: This bib is the solution to one of life’s biggest messes – feeding time with a toddler! This oversized bib has an elastic hem, which will easily fit over nearly any highchair. Plus the stain-resistant fabric is easy to pop in the washing machine (or even to rinse in the sink!).

Woven Nook: One of our favorite ways to accent any nursery is a fun pillow sitting on your glider/rocking chair. Woven Nook has our favorite new collection of high-quality neutral pillow covers and blankets, that will find a great place in any nursery or playroom. Plus they are affordable so you can buy multiple and refresh your décor as needed!

bökee: You’re holding a screaming baby and all she wants to do is eat. You rush to make the bottle, but as you reach for the lid you knock it over causing a big spill and instant frustration. Insert the bökee- the first feeding accessory to turn this whole process into a one-handed job! The bökee suctions to any countertop, grips the bottle (or sippy cup/pump products/etc) and allows you the freedom to hold and soothe your little one.

Bella Mama: Invested in helping all moms-to-be have a healthy pregnancy, Bella Mama is created from evidence-based nutrition info in a month-by-month guide. There are also coaching options, where you can work one-on-one to ensure you’re filling your body with healthy choices.

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks: Part I

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

We’re so excited about Jazmyn Simon Hill’s baby top picks and must-haves! Gugu Guru has recently had the pleasure of working with the lovely and beautiful actress and new mama Jazmyn Simon Hill. You may know Jazmyn from the TV-Series Ballers and the movies Acrimony and Ed. We are excited to have her on the blog today sharing some wise words on her baby must-haves. Jazmyn has rounded up her top picks for bath, health, diapering, baby gear, and sleep that have helped her as a new mom. You can follow Jazmyn and her pregnancy journey on Instagram.

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Bath, Health, and Diapering:

Boon Naked Tub: “I just love the design and simplicity of the boon tub. I love baby items that are simplistic. You may hear that from me a few times but it’s true!”
Puj Tub: “The puj tub is great because as a full-time actress married to a full-time actor, we travel a lot- and the puj is perfect for when we need a tub that can be packed. And I mean, how cute is a baby in a sink!!!”
Crane Humidifier: “I suffer from bad seasonal allergies and personally use a crane humidifier. So to keep babies room moist and comfy, I went with a trusted favorite, a Crane humidifier.”
Fridababy Bundle: “Omg. I am obsessed with Frida Baby. When I went to my baby 101 class with my husband, the instructors would not stop raving about all their products. I’m especially excited about the Nose Frida and the Fridet. Hehe. They have baby and mommy covered.”
Matimati Washcloths: “Two words: Eco. Friendly.”
Diaper Dekor Plus: “I love that this can hold up to 60 diapers. Babies go through a LOT of diapers at first. And there’s no bending and twisting. Just step on the pedal and drop and go. Anything that saves time wins!”
Skip Hop Pronto: “Let’s face it, there will be times when you have to improvise a diaper change. This skip hop pronto makes it easier!!!”
b.box Caddy: “Again, sometimes…a lot of times… diaper changes happen on the go. This portable caddy makes diaper changes all around the house easier!”

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Baby Gear:

Nuna Pipa: “We LOVE our Nuna Pipa. Stylish, sleek and SO SAFE! Took only minutes to install and has multiple features that show you if it’s installed correctly!!! Love!”
Bugaboo Fox: “The poshest stroller I’ve ever seen and I feel so fortunate to own it. Matches my style and lifestyle and is a breeze to get in and out of my trunk. LOVE!!!!”
Solly Baby: “The softest, sweetest baby wrap. My favorite part about the newborn phase is baby carrying. Solly has made that easy with the softest, most beautiful fabrics.”
Toki Mats: “Tummy time essential. These make tummy time safer because they are NON-TOXIC. Can we all say thank you!!!!”
Bannor Toys Blocks: “I cried when I received my banner name rattle and blocks. It said Baby Hill and it made everything feel so real. Plus it’s made in the USA from wood. We now want every Nannie rattle and toy because they not only are so sleek looking- but they promote creativity and imagination. That’s exactly what we desire for our baby boy.”

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Sleep:

Love to Dream Swaddles: “So smart. I didn’t know a lot about the Moro reflex and how it can startle your baby awake. These swaddles keep them safely snug and sleeping. Plus as they get older, you can release one or both arms. Love.”
Snoo: “Can. We. Say. Game. Changer. Smartest bassinet ever. It will swaddle, sway and shush (white noise) your baby to sleep. It’s basically a night nurse for a lot less money. A dream saver. See what I did there?”
Bebe Au Lait Swaddles: “Who doesn’t love a muslin swaddle blanket?! Great for home or on the go. Use it in your stroller or as a car seat blanket without overheating the precious cargo!!!!”

While we took a brief hiatus due to our Working Mother Registry + Giveaways (if you haven’t checked them out, there are some AWESOME giveaways on our blog), we are back at it in full swing this week for What’s New on Gugu. Instead of highlighting 5 new items this week, I’m back with 10 items that have launched (or will be launching) in the baby market. From strollers to nursery gear and everything in between, take a look at some of our newest finds!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Gooselings: Gooselings was inspired by ‘Hygge,’ the Scandinavian lifestyle leading to feeling calm and content. All of Gooselings products have been created to help add calm to our hectic daily lives with kids. These high-quality duvets and duvet covers are the perfect thing to bring your family together during playtime and add that sense of calm to the end of any work day. Plus they are easily packed for plane or car travel.

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The newest product to hit the market from 4moms will launch early next year and moves like you do! With movement patterns similar to the mamaRoo, this sleep situation will be perfect for keeping your little one close for middle of the night feedings and diaper changes.

Nuna Triv Stroller: Triv is the newest stroller option from our friends at Nuna! This lightweight, easy-to-push stroller allows you to easily change between seat and car seat. It has a large storage basket and spring suspension, giving you a smooth push. Plus it’s one-handed fold can’t be beat!

FORMERLY YAN: We love this new maternity clothing line, which is designed specifically for changing silhouettes. Check out their Little Black Dress with Side Zippers or their Jogger Style Trousers, two of our favorites! These pieces are great for a day in the office or a night out on the town!

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Cruz V2: UPPAbaby has updated their classic Cruz (single) and Vista (convertible) strollers for 2020! Both strollers are getting updated suspension –hello easier push!—as well as new colors/fabric options. The Cruz is also getting bigger wheels, a downsized fold, and a larger seat while the Vista will be seeing a no rethread harness and a larger canopy. These are expected to be released in February 2020!

Skip Hop Feeding Line and Convertible High Chair: Skip Hop has launched both their feeding line and their Sit-to-Step High Chair! Great for infants and toddlers alike, this high chair reclines for easy bottle feeding, slides right up to the table, and turns into a toddler step stool. The feeding line is full of must have essentials, great for feeding at home or on the go.

Tranquilo Products: Looking for a solution to help soothe baby when nothing seems to be working?! Look no further than Tranquilo! Their portable vibrating mat helps mimic the sounds from mom’s womb, instantly helping calm baby. The baby soothe massager is also great for use at home or on the go. All of these products are perfect for travel!

Finnbin: In Finland, parents are actually given a free cardboard baby box, which will provide their little ones with a safe sleeping environment from day one. Finnbin has stepped up this theory, providing high-quality Baby Boxes filled with all sorts of newborn necessities. Easy to move around the house and much more affordable than today’s standard bassinet, the Finnbin can definitely be your go-to baby gift!

Crawligator: Make tummy time fun with this JPMA Innovation Award Winner! The Crawligator helps your little one strengthen all of those muscles needed to begin crawling. Simply place your babe on top of the Crawligator and begin to move them forward slowly. A great way for parents and little ones to complete play time together!

Drinking for Two: A great gift for your girlfriend who just announced she is pregnant, Drinking for Two, is an adorable mocktail book aimed at combating pregnancy-related symptoms. Featuring 45+ non-alcoholic, plant-based mocktail recipes that are high in nutrients and low in sugar, this is the perfect coffee table book throughout pregnancy and beyond!

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

Out + About with Evenflo: Innovative Gear You’ll Love

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

Outings with your little can contain struggles and juggles—but they don’t have to. Evenflo developed a line of popular products that are replacing those moments with ease and comfort. A pioneer in the baby market, Evenflo’s innovative gear perfectly fuses security and comfort with high-tech designs to deliver safe and enjoyable out-and-about experiences for you and your babe.

Evenflo’s patented SensorSafe™ technology connects you to your little one the entire time, in real time. It’s built into the clip of their car seats and strollers and alerts you, through the app, if babe gets unbuckled or if the temperature is too warm. When verbal communication doesn’t yet exist, this connectivity to babe’s needs is invaluable—and it is found in the products below.

One stroller we absolutely love is the Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon. It easily transforms into an adventure-ready wagon—with the flip of a handle. This change lets you stroll with up to two kids, up to age five! The terrain wheels make sandy, beach day strolls simple and joyful, while the UPF 50+ canopies are an incredible add-on (one less thing to worry about).

We also found the Evenflo® Gold Shyft™ Modular Travel System to be a game-changer. This versatile, infant-to-toddler stroller offers six different modes of use and a three-position reclining seat to keep babe smiling through adventures, big and small. Forward-facing or parent-facing, this sleek, functional Shyft rolled onto our list as soon as we learned about it.

Road trip? Whether you’re getting groceries or going to Grandma’s, it’s essential to find a car seat that’s secure and safe. The built-in security aspects of the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ SecureMax™ Smart Infant Car Seat caught our attention right away. Along with the SensorSafe™ to keep you at peace while you’re behind the wheel, the ultra-simple harness makes it easy to adjust babe’s constantly-changing size. Another tremendous feature to note: the SafeZone Load Leg Technology. It stabilizes the car seat and reduces rotation by 50%.

Lastly, this all-in-one convertible car seat features a grow-with-me design that can stay with your kiddo from 4lbs to 120lbs! Designed for 10 years of use, the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ EveryStage™ Smart All-in-One Convertible Car Seat has an in-seat reclining feature to offer extra support and comfort, and more importantly, has EasyClick™ installation. This feature makes your little one’s car seat 3X tighter than the competition—ensuring a wiggle-free, protected journey.

Wherever you go, Evenflo has a pioneering product to lead you down your path with ease. Check them out (Use code GUGUGURU10 for 10% off any of these items) and enjoy the ride.

Thank you to Evenflo for making this sponsored post possible!
