Gugu Gift Guide: Travel With Baby

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Last week we chatted about our top gift guide picks to make travel easier for parents, and this week we’re covering our top picks for gifts when it comes to travel with baby. These make awesome holiday or baby shower gifts for any parents who are looking forward to traveling with their little one. 

Travel With Baby changing pad

Ubbi’s On-the-Go Collection: When it comes to practical, functional, and stylish items for travel with baby, Ubbi knows what’s up! We are delighted to introduce you to their on-the-go collection, which includes a changing mat and bag, wipes dispenser and bag dispenser. The changing mat and bag is a great on-the-go diapering solution for quick and easy diaper changes, and it is easy-to-clean, super soft and comfortable changing mat made similar to a standard yoga mat, so it’s comfy for your baby – no more hard floors! The mat bag can hold a few diapers, travel size wipes dispenser, as well as a phone, keys, or whatever else is needed for busy parents on-the-go. The Ubbi portable wipes dispenser is a great solution for quick and easy on-the-go diaper change, the dispenser keeps wipes moist and fresh, is easy to carry around, yet compact and durable while out and about. Plus, it includes an easy-to-use silicone strap that conveniently hangs on strollers and diaper bags. The bags dispenser features a rewind mechanism lets you easily reinsert bags when too many are pulled out, and holds a roll of 12 bags, which includes 2 rolls of lavender-scented bags; plus, it fits easily inside a diaper bag, for on-the-go ease.

Travel With Baby sleepsuit

Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit: When it comes to travel, sometimes baby’s sleep cycles can get confused if you’re traveling long hours or in different time zones. We highly recommend traveling with a sleep product baby is used to and reminds them of being home. Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit gives baby a warm, cozy, and comforting feeling to help them fall asleep faster, and stay asleep, too. The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for babies who are ready to transition from the swaddle, yet still need that cozy and contained feeling to aid in their sleep. Made with soft, comforting materials, the Magic Sleepsuit will give your baby the sense of security and warmth they need to sleep well through the night, whether you’re staying at grandma’s house, a hotel, or camping! Plus, it’s ideal for any travel destination because baby won’t get overheated –  as it features open feet and hands to help keep baby at a comfortable temperature. Coming in three adorable colors, the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit is our one must have item for any baby registry – you can learn more about it in this handy video, too!

Travel With Baby backpack

Stuck on You Mini Book Bag: When it comes to traveling with a toddler, they love to fill their own travel bags and feel like part of the travel-crew! We’re loving these adorable mini backpacks from Stuck on You which are totally personalized! The Mini Book Bag is perfect for playdates, short excursions or coffee outings with mom. The perfect size to fit in some yummy snacks, paper and pencils and their favorite toy. The Mini Book Bag features a durable poly soft canvas and fully waterproof living. The inside print is fun for kids, and the front zipper pocket is perfect for snacks or toys. The padded shoulder straps ensure comfort on your toddler’s back, as well. But, we really love the Mini Book Bag because you can customize it with your child’s name in a variety of fonts, as well as a fun design. Coming in muted blue or green, this Mini Book Bag is a must-have for traveling with your little kiddo.

Travel With Baby organizer

B. Box Stroller Organizer: When it comes to traveling with a baby, often times your stroller becomes home base for everything you pick up along the way (including food, jackets, trinkets!). But, travel-sized strollers don’t always have the room or space to hold everything you need, which is why we are so impressed with the B.Box Stroller Organizer which attaches to stroller handle with secure click in clasps. Large fold away mesh bag means essentials are visible and within reach, can also be used for light groceries when doing a quick trip to the shops. Multiple storage compartments for drinks, phone, wallet and snacks keep essentials at your fingertips. BPA, Phthalates, and PVC free. If you need to run inside somewhere and leave the stroller outside, no worries, simply remove the organizer from the stroller to convert to a unisex bag – in a snap, using the handy shoulder strap. A must have travel item for traveling with families, and also for every day use to the park or shopping! This makes a great baby shower must-have gift which mom doesn’t even realize she needs yet.

Travel With Baby swaddle

Hoodini Swaddle: When babies are on-the-go, it often can be tricky to get them to calm down and sleep on their normal schedules, which is why you need a trusted swaddle to help your baby sleep while traveling.  Hoodini is the world’s first 3D knit escape-proof baby swaddle. It is engineered with arm tubes to protect against moro reflex and face scratching and has hug technology® built into the chest area to give the sensation of a hug all night long. Baby will feel comforted and snug, even if you’re in a hotel room or grandma’s house. Plus, there is an easy access diaper opening at the bottom so the feet stay warm but you still have easy diaper changing access, which comes in handy for traveling in the car or airplane – easy access is always better! The Hoodini Swaddle is super soft and stretchy, and can fit in any diaper bag, purse or travel bag. It comes in three colors, and is a wonderful addition to any baby shower gift.

Travel With Baby hat

Bitty Brah Hats: As a parent, it seems there are 1000+ things to remember when traveling with kids, but one thing we always keep on hand are cute hats for our littles, as it protects them from sun, rain, and wind! When we came across Bitty Brah we had to share them with you – as not only are they beyond cute, but they have a great mission, too. Bitty Brah hats are a functional, surf-inspired hat for the modern family. Playful and stylish, Bitty Brah embraces the California casual lifestyle for the family on the go. Bitty Brah hats are water resistant, so they are ideal for rain or shine, and perfect in any weather. Their water resistant finish makes them durable enough for sand and sticky fingers. They’re ideal for travel, as the Bitty Brah visors bend in any direction, so you can throw them in any bag or stroller and you’re good to go. The foolproof drawstring is guaranteed to stay put. The drawstring is perfect of hat resistant children and action packed days on the water. But, most importantly, Bitty Brah donates the #1 most requested item to children in the U.S., not covered through federal government assistance: diapers. When you buy a Bitty Brah hat, you donate 10 diapers to a U.S. family in need. We can’t think of a better combo: cute and functional hats for baby, and a giving-back component? Sign us up for Bitty Brah hats!

Travel With Baby

CoziGo: Traveling with babies can be frustrating, because often they are over-stimulated and don’t want to rest, and sometimes, there’s not even a place to have them rest! Keeping consistent sleeping routines can be a challenge for parents when they have to be out and about. We are thrilled to introduce you to CoziGo, which makes flying and being on-the-go with babies carefree. CoziGo blocks 97% of light and distraction, helping to block distractions and provide a consistent dark sleep space for your baby. In tests, sleep improved by up to 400% when CoziGo was in use. Plus, CoziGo has a UV 50+ rating which makes it the ultimate Sun Cover when you are out and about with your baby. The unique dome shape can be fully opened so baby can watch the world go by. It also allows for plenty of kick space and the breathable fabric ensures air permeability allowing safe airflow. CoziGo is made from woven fabric, which means it is air permeable and provides a well-ventilated environment for your baby. It will allow your baby to breathe comfortably and also means your baby will be less likely to overheat while you are out and about. Simply, pop, clip and go in seconds, plus it packs into a small bag quickly, ready to be stored in a bag or in the stroller.  CoziGo has a zipper on each side so you can open one or both of the zippers allowing your baby or toddler to see the world go by and still be protected by the sun no matter what direction it’s coming from. You will also have easy access to your precious cargo!

Ubbi Tweat Snack Container: Another must have for traveling with toddlers is the Ubbi Tweat Snack Container. It has a large enough opening for easy snack access and a soft spill guard with attached lid. The interactive weighted base leans and wobbles, and the rubber seal helps keeps everything fresh! If you’re traveling with kids, it is ALL about the snacks, but you definitley don’t want those snacks all over the car – just hand your little one the Ubbi Tweat Snack Container and they can access all the snacks they need, without spilling them out all over the place. It’s easy to throw into any diaper or travel bag and you’re good to go!

Thank you to, CoziGo, B.Box. Stuck on You, Bitty Brah, Hoodini Swaddle, Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit, and Ubbi for making this sponsored post possible!

UPPAbaby VISTA Stroller for New Mamas

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Why did we recommend the UPPAbaby VISTA stroller to Angelique Cabral? When she started working with the Gugu Guru team on her registry, she made it clear that she needed a stroller that would be great for travel, long walks around the neighborhood, and most importantly, really functional!

We knew the ultimate stroller for her would be the UPPAbaby VISTA! We have sung the praises of the UPPAbaby VISTA before – it’s a featured baby gear item in our Cause Driven Registry. It’s also one of our favorite strollers for families who plan to have more than one child. When See Kate Sew got the chance to test it out, she said, “We love this stroller and it is pretty special that my 3-year-old gets the front seat. She loves peeking on her little sister and I think it makes her feel good that this stroller is really for both of them! I take this UPPAbaby VISTA stroller everywhere, including the grocery store and walks. It’s super easy to set up, everything clicks into place! And the basket underneath is big enough for a whole load of groceries (I never get carts anymore!) It’s such a great single stroller and an amazing double! I recommend it to everyone!“

UPPAbaby VISTA Stroller

The UPPAbaby VISTA also comes with a bassinet attachment, which is ideal for newborns. Angelique has been using it as a make-shift sleeping quarter for baby Adelaide when she’s on set on CBS’ Life In Pieces. Parents also tell us that they love the large basket under the UPPAbaby VISTA stroller – it’s perfect for stocking up on things like diapers, wipes… and wine (we kid! Kind of.)

And, for all of you eco-conscious parents, we named the UPPAbaby VISTA one of our best choice for eco-conscious moms. Heading for a walk in the afternoon sun? No worry! The UPPAbaby VISTA features a UPF 50 drop down sunshade to keep UV rays off baby’s precious skin. And, no need to worry about a flat tire ever with the VISTA, as the wheels are made of foam and rubber – with just the right amount of jiggle to lull baby to sleep, and smooth enough to help baby stay fast asleep.

6 Jogging Strollers for City Living

by Gugu Guru 2 Comments

Jogging and running in an urban environment is a great way to stay fit and healthy, but when you throw a stroller into the mix, things can get hairy. Between narrow sidewalks, potholes, public transportation and people traffic, finding the perfect jogging stroller for city living can be a challenge. After chatting with many parents, and lots of research, we rounded up our top picks for urban environment jogging and running strollers.

Do you have any on this list? Are we missing any? Leave a comment and let us know!

Budget Pick:

Urbini Avi: If you are looking for a quality “budget-friendly” jogger, the team at Gugu Guru recommends the Urbini Avi. Why? It’s a reliable, good quality jogger complete with great features like a cup holder, ample storage and a compact fold – and it has a super price tag.

Best Storage Pick:

Bumbleride Indie: This is an absolutely gorgeous stroller with great features – a wide canopy, compact fold and ample storage. We also love that the stroller is manufactured with eco-friendlier textiles. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend this stroller for hard core runners, but it’s a high-quality option for your one and only day-to-day stroller and jogger.

Learn more: A real mom’s review on the Bumbleride Indie

Best versatile pick:

Bugaboo Runner: Parents who have a top of the line Bugaboo stroller already can rejoice that they only need to buy the frame – it’s compatible with other Bugaboo seats. Designed with active parents in mind, the Bugaboo Runner comes in two versions; as a complete jogging stroller and as an accessory for existing Bugaboo owners, offering an easy, click-and-go jogging extension. The large under seat basket will hold your essentials and most accessories are compatible with the stroller. In characteristic Bugaboo fashion, you can choose to have the seat facing you, or facing the world. What are you waiting for? Run free!

Best for everyday use:

Baby Jogger 2016 Summit X3 Single Jogging Stroller: With its patented quick fold technology, you can fold your stroller with one hand, which means if you’re hopping on and off the subway and there’s a possibility you’re going to have to fold up the stroller, this is the one for you. This 3 Wheel Stroller has 16″ rear and 12″ front air filled tires with front wheel lock mounted on the handlebar for easy conversions between jogger and stroller mode, meaning you can use for jogging and everyday use. All wheel suspension system soaks up road bumps making it the perfect all terrain stroller, especially for going over cobblestone streets or cracked sidewalks. Plus, the hand operated rear brakes make for more control on hilly or uneven terrain. And, it features a large adjustable sun canopy with peek a boo windows and side vents. 

Best lifespan:

Mountain Buggy Terrain Premium Jogging Stroller: If you’re looking for a space-saving stroller, the Mountain Buggy Terrain Premium Jogging Stroller is your pick, as it is not only can double as an every day stroller, but is able to be used from newborn to 70 pounds. The newborn perfect reclinable seat, compatible with the Mountain Buggy Carry Cot+ in matching fabric (sold separately) and infant car seats from most major brands (sold separately) allow you to use the Terrain from birth. Plus, the Terrain offers a  new, extremely easy one hand fold offers ease and convenience. Now a full size jogging stroller fits everywhere a standard stroller will. 

Best for Avid Runners:

Thule Urban Glide Jogging Stroller: We know how hard it can be to find time to work out, so when running is your only option, you’re going to want your stroller to keep up! At 22 pounds, the Thule Urban Glide is super lightweight and aerodynamic; this is perfect for winding through crowded sidewalks and around tight corners. The front wheel swivels for easy maneuverability, and locks into place for jogging. As an added feature, the padded ergonomic handlebar has a range of heights for parent’s comfort, so you can run comfortably. Plus, the seat reclines almost all the way, so baby can nap while you get your groove on.

Travel Essential: BABYZEN YOYO+ Stroller

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When Gugu Guru’s editor in chief, Olivia, was heading on a road trip to North Carolina for Thanksgiving, she quickly realized that with two carseats, a husband, and luggage, there was no room for a stroller in the car too. She decided it was the perfect time to whip out her BABYZEN YOYO+ stroller and give it a whirl. She’s here to share why she thinks every single parent should add this stroller to their registry!

fullsizerender-8

When my husband and I decided to drive down south for Thanksgiving, I was super excited because I thought, “awesome, we’ll have a car and can bring as much baby stuff as we need!” Boy, was I wrong. Between the carseats, guitar case, luggage, toys, extra clothes, and food, there was not one inch of the Subaru to spare. However, BABYZEN heard my woes and was kind enough to let me try the BABYZEN YOYO+ stroller out for our trip to North Carolina. Off the bat, I loved the idea that the stroller would work for both my kids; my infant is tall for his age, so even at 5 months old, he fit in the stroller just fine.

yoyo

So, what’s all the fuss about the BABYZEN YOYO+ stroller? This stroller is like a superhero: it folds up in a flash! With most strollers I’ve tried, you have to dissemble the stroller and place the large parts in the back of your car or garage; there’s really no easy way to travel with most strollers. However, the YOYO+ folds up to hand luggage size (!); seriously, there were a few times we had the stroller out with us and my toddler wanted to walk, so we folded the stroller up and used the shoulder strap to carry it like a large bag. We didn’t have to go back to the hotel or car, we simply just kept walking since the stroller is so lightweight and easy to carry folded up. There is also a good sized storage basket on the bottom, so as we shopped, we could add items to the stroller instead of carry them. The few times my toddler was tired, he would ride in the stroller, while I wore the baby in the carrier, and my diaper bag would go under the stroller.

fullsizerender-7

The BABYZEN YOYO+ can be used from infancy to toddlerhood, with just a few easy swaps. From birth, baby lies parent-facing and never leaves your sight. BABYZEN YOYO+ comes with a totally flat carry cot for infants and a 5-point harness, a 3-position pop up canopy, a foot cover and a headrest. From 6 months and using the same frame, simply swap 0+ newborn fabrics to 6+ fabrics, and sit baby up to face the road. The YOYO+ backrest can be inclined to 145° in several positions, and features comfortable padding with a 5-point harness. Another reason this stroller is a must have for travel is the throw-up factor! Kids and babies get carsick, or sick eating new foods, and this stroller washes like a dream. All the fabrics come off and can be thrown in the washing machine, at home or the hotel (trust me, it happens).

fullsizerender-6

I’ve learned a few things in my last years of parenting, and one of them is that when you’re traveling, often times you don’t need to overpack because there are pharmacies, supermarkets, and Buy Buy Baby stores all over America – however, trust me when I say this – you cannot take another trip without this stroller. Not only is it lightweight, compact, and folds up in a flash, but the stroller is sturdy, safe, and also really nice looking! Both the toddler and baby took their turns in it, and they were comfy, even rolling over the hills of Carolina. If you’re pregnant, I highly recommend adding this to your registry today – and if you already have a stroller, I highly recommend asking Santa for this one too!
