The Village Reviews: Rambler LA Mat

If you have a wiggly little one, the Rambler LA Mat is for you. Lacey, the creator of Rambler LA Mat, tried multiple blankets and play mats but her son always seemed to wrap himself in the fabric. The Rambler LA Mat combines the large surface area of a play mat with the softness of a blanket. The innovative internal hoop keeps the fabric taut while in use and quickly collapses into a carrying bag when you are on the go. The lightweight and portable design create a mat that is perfect for travel, play dates or in your nursery. The versatility ensures the Rambler LA Mat will last throughout your baby’s childhood and beyond. Our Gugu Village parents loved the easy open and close, washable fabric and overall quality.

With warmer days quickly approaching I was in the market for a portable play mat for on-the-go with my little one. The Rambler LA play mat came highly recommended by experienced mamas so I was excited when I had an opportunity to give it a try.

The winning feature on this mat is definitely that it effortlessly pops open and stays flat. When you slip it out of the bag it pops open within seconds which is super convenient when you have a wriggling baby in your arms. The mat is also bordered with a structured edge which keeps it lying flat – which was so nice when playing outdoors. The 50-inch diameter gave us a sizable, soft surface to play on.

The Rambler LA mat was the perfect backdrop for a recent trip to the beach. I loved the stylish and whimsical print of the Sea Breeze cover and the cute carrying bag. The bag had a knotted handle that easily slipped over my arm when I was carrying my baby and was roomy enough to toss a couple of toys into it.

We are so excited to take the Rambler LA Mat with us wherever our family rambles this Spring!

This mat is awesome! From the way it folds up so easily to the way it opens into a big mat! I didn’t expect it to be as big as it is. And it closes small enough so its easy to take anywhere. Its very lightweight as well. The material is so easy to clean. We had a little oopsy and you would never know. Also, the material feels great. I’m excited to take this mat everywhere with us this summer!

We had a lot of fun trying out the rambler mat this week. My 10-month-old is newly on the move, so it’s great to have a soft surface to lay out toys for him to play with on the hardwood! We also had a nice snack break in the backyard where both kids could sit comfortably with lots of room to spare. My daughter ran all over the mat with her slightly muddy shoes, and when I washed it, all of her footprints came right out! It was easy to put the hoop back in when it came out of the dryer, and I’ve gotten the fold up done in 3 seconds. I’m excited to use this more on the go once the weather warms up!

Jacqui W.

The Rambler play mat is the best mat out there! It is soft, lightweight, easy to use and comes with a nice bag to carry it in. One of the best features is that you can pop it open with one hand. It’s also super easy to fold up, like a car shade. My daughters love sitting on it playing with toys, lounging on it at the park and playing hide-and-seek with it. I keep it in my car now so it’s with us wherever we go! The Rambler got a little dirty from use but washed very nicely and all the spots came out! Love it!

What’s New on Gugu: April 10, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I absolutely love finding new products to share with our users. It is too easy to feel “overwhelmed” with all of the new products that hit the market each day. Having just celebrated Gugu Guru’s 4^th birthday, our initial little ones aren’t even babies anymore! As your babies grow into toddlers and beyond, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for product help! We LOVE hearing from our users!

For loads of our other ever-changing favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Noggin Wipes: A truly no-mess solution to cradle cap, which affects over 70% of babies before their first birthday. These gently exfoliating wipes are created with an avocado-oil based solution, which continues to moisturize and break up cradle cap well after use. The disposable wipes will begin to work immediately, helping clear away the flaky (and unwanted) irritation.

Target’s Pillowfort Inclusive Line: Pillowfort, Target’s adorable line for kids’ décor, has revolutionized the market for children with sensory sensitivities. They have launched 20 new items, including weighted blankets, floor cushions, and a cocoon seat. Each high-quality product adds something special to this inclusive line. We cannot stop praising this line and Target’s approach to making everyone feel welcome!

Motif Medical’s Luna Breast Pump: Coming this month, The Luna Breast Pump is a great choice for working moms. It is sleek and small on the outside, but strong enough on the inside to help busy moms pump in less time. Plus it’s a ‘closed system,’ which means that your breastmilk will flow directly into the bottle and helps prevent contamination. Check their website for insurance coverage!

Mimish Storage Pouf: I am a sucker for multi-purpose items. Mimish has taken adorable décor and added even more functionality. Ever walk into your little one’s room only to find stuffed animals and toys everywhere? Look no further than this fun line of storage poufs! They will cleverly hide any mess while providing adorable aesthetic to every bedroom.

Edushape Baby Sensory Balls: Edushape’s sensory balls have been around since the late 90’s. There’s a reason why these continue to be a family favorite! We love this new set, which allow baby to explore various textures and colors with easy to grab materials.

Spring Fashion Gift Guide

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Spring is the best time of year to clean house and treat yourself to new fashion in your life! Whether it’s a little something for you, clothing for the kiddos, or a new stroller, step out in style this Spring with these gift guide picks:

Love + Kind Wrap Skirts: Spring is the best time of year to whip out a new fancy skirt – but it can be frustrating when you’re postpartum to figure out which size you are. Worry no longer, mamas, we have the perfect solution. We’ve written about our love for Love + Kind before, and we’re back to share our Springtime fashion secret: the Love + Kind skirts for every day wear. The Love + Kind wrap skirts are made from an amazingly gorgeous heavy material so they cover every lump and bump on your postpartum body. Plus, they are beyond beautiful with their unique prints. Love + Kind was founded by Danielle Camastra, whom went on a well building trip to Tanzania and was deeply moved by all of the communities she visited; upon her return, she wanted to share all of the beauty from Tanzania with the world. Love + Kind believes that “every skirt has a magical quality and people are drawn to the love and passion with which they were made,” and it’s not hard to fall in love with these beyond gorgeous skirts! Each skirt is one-of-a-kind made from local fabrics and created by Tanzanian artisans.

June & January Romper: Summertime is the best time for toddlers and kids to run around in the backyard and on weekend adventures; we’re pretty confident this retro-inspired June and January romper will be a summer wardrobe staple for your kid. Coming in a huge variety of prints and colors, this romper is a gender neutral fit, so both boys and girls can suit up for summertime. Plus, it comes off and on with snaps at the shoulders, making it easy for bathroom access. The romper is available for babies to 4 year olds and makes packing for summer adventures a cinch – one romper and they’re ready to go! Use code GUGUROMPER for 15% off your romper purchase!

Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury Stroller: Why not stroll in style this Spring season? Check out the gorgeousness of the Mountain Buggy Stroller; this is the Duet Luxury in Herringbone and it is luxurious and beautiful! Interestingly enough, the Duet Stroller is the slimmest double stroller on the market, it’s even slimmer than some single strollers! This is an all terrain double buggy stroller which can go from the city streets to the weekend hikes. If you’re looking for style in your stroller, you have to check out this Duet which features twill fabric and black leather accents, which give this Duet a classic and tailored look, perfect for the mom that loves the simple yet classy look. In terms of the double stroller accessibility, this makes a perfect baby shower gift for the second time parent, as there are a ton of seat options which are ideal for a newborn and a toddler, as well as ideal for parents of twins! If you’re an urban parent, you’ll need to check out the Duet for it’s slim frame and ability to be folded up easily. And, to add to the luxe dynamic, this luxury stroller come with Aeromaxx wheels (enjoy the ride of air filled but without the maintenance), a matching diaper bag, and changing mat, and a 3 year warranty! Style and function are perfectly joined with the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury Stroller.

ergoPouch: If you’re looking to switch up your little one’s sleep clothes for spring, check out the ergoPouch Sleep Suit bags; they are made from breathable natural products, so they are ideal for springtime, and the organic cotton is always soft on baby’s skin. ergoPouch products are rated to measure thermal resistance for different seasons, and we recommend using the 1.0TOG Drops Sleep Suit Bag – we love their new Nature Collection that’s inspired by the Australian landscape. You’ll want to cuddle up with baby wearing their ergoPouch Sleep Suit as it’s made from 400+ thread count organic cotton and features stretchy side panels for easy movement. Keep baby a perfect temperature while feeling cozy this summer in their ergoPouch Sleep Suit.

Mac + Mia: Is there anything more fun than picking out new clothes for your little one? We love it too, but it can be hard to get out of the house and get new and fun clothes sometimes! We’re huge fans of Mac + Mia, a unique way to shop for clothing and accessories for your kids from home. How does it work? First you take the style quiz (and we’re big fans of quizzes here!) and give info for your stylist to curate a box for your child. Your stylist will get in touch with you and you can communicate with them to get pieces you need – so cool! Your stylist will send 8-12 handpicked pieces from boutique brands, brands you may not have known of otherwise. The cool part is you only pay for what you keep and there’s free shipping both ways! You can personalize your box with your stylist to fit within budget and types of pieces, too. They carry over 100 brands for babies and kids, so you know you’re getting some very unique and different items than you’d get in store. Not a fan of subscription boxes? Just do it when you want – you are not required to sign up for monthly boxes, just order when you need. Sounds cool, right? Give it a try for your little’s birthday, or this makes an ideal baby shower gift too! New customers can go to this link and receive $20 credit to your account, or head to their website and enter code ASHLEYE for a $20 credit.

BAEBI INOMI carrier: Springtime is about getting outside for walks and adventures, which are significantly easier when you’re babywearing. How do you step out in style while babywearing? By choosing an INOMI carrier. BAEBI is the modern gear brand for the modern parent; their goal is to elevate baby gear by creating high functioning items which won’t compromise your personal style. This carrier has many unique features, such as the detachable clamshell which makes transitioning a sleeping baby much easier, and quilted fabric to keep you and baby cool. A huge win for parents is the fact that the INOMI carrier has more pockets than any carrier on the market; it has 4 pockets, and even room for a diaper, so you can head out on the town and not worry about carrying every little thing. There is no newborn insert needed, so you can start babywearing from the get-go. Plus, the carrier is made from OEKO-TEX certified premium cotton, so any fabric close to your baby is safe for even the littlest of babes. The INOMI carrier is an ideal baby shower gift for any fashion forward parent in your life.

Thank you to ergoPouch, Mac + Mia, Love + Kind, BAEBI, Mountain Buggy, and June + January for making this sponsored post possible! We are so appreciative!

Home Care and Organization Picks

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Let’s face it: life can get messy as a parent. With Spring officially starting in one week and a Marie Kondo craze sweeping the nation, we’ve rounded up some home care and organization products that are functional and also very, very cute.

Trend Lab® Galaxy Portable Storage Caddy: Did you know that the average newborn goes through 10 diapers a day? It’s true! One thing that will help parents keep their sanity through the Groundhog’s Day of diaper changes of infancy is a well-stocked and organized diaper caddy. We love the Galaxy Portable Storage Caddy from Trend Lab because it’s not only spacious and function, it’s portable – so you can make any room of the home a diapering area with ease. This caddy has eight exterior compartments and can easily hold all diapers, wipes and any other changing items in a tidy fashion. In fact, it can hold up to 50lbs worth of diapering goods! We love us a multi-purpose product here at Gugu Guru and this caddy scores major points because when baby ages out of diapers, it also functions as organizer for crafts, picnics, pet supplies and more.

Mimish Designs’ Poodle Pouf: As a parent, there is nothing more important than home organization – and if that home organization can also double as adorable home, there’s nothing better! We’re obsessed with these Poofs from Mimish Designs, the Luxurious Poodle Fur Pouf ottoman serves as both seating and storage – plus, they are kid friendly and would look adorable in any nursery or kid’s room. The upper cushion connects to an open storage compartment on bottom by a durable covered zipper, which is ideal for stuffed animals, costumes, toys or books. We also love how the Mimish Designs’ Pouf Ottoman can be used in any room of the house, as it is luxurious enough to be a statement piece in an upscale living room, playroom or even master bedroom. It’s also a fantastic gender neutral baby shower gift, and a great gift for toddler and birthdays as well too. Mimish Designs has a plethora of designs to chose from as well, so you are bound to find something which fits your family’s style. Head to Mimish Designs and use code MIMISHGURU20 for 20% off.

Crane USA Shark Air Purifier: Baby Shark, anyone? We’re giddy for this beyond adorable Shark Air Purifier from our friends at Crane USA. Did you know that Air Purifiers are a must-have for baby and kids rooms? This Crane USA Air Purifier features a five level filtration helps remove airborne particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. The active carbon filter captures large particles as well as common household odors caused from tobacco, pets, garbage and cooking by absorbing them in the active carbon filter. Plus, the photocatalyst filter works in conjunction with the internal UV light to create advanced oxidation that eliminates airborne odors and neutralizes odors and harmful fumes. We love how adorable this Shark Air Purifier is and incredibly functional. If you’re looking for a super sweet baby shower gift or a fun piece of home decor, we always recommend giving a Crane USA humidifier or air purifier.

Diaper Dékor: One of our all-time favorite home decor items that’s both fun and functional is the Diaper Dekor. Diaper Dekor is actually our top pick for diaper pails for so many reasons and is ideal for different types of households, whether you’re eco-conscious, style-minded, minimalist, or a mix of everything! Diaper Dekor is one of the most cost-effective diaper pails on the market, and we love the fact that it can be converted to a regular trash can when baby is out of diapers. Diaper Dékor is unique in that it is a totally hands free diaper pail, which easily makes it a top diaper pail pick for Gugu Guru, as it makes life easy without having to shove a dirty diaper into an overstuffed pail! The Diaper Dékor is also the best diaper pail for efficiency, as you simply have to step on the pail, drop the diaper in, and you’re done! Not to mention, it comes in a variety of colors, so you can mix and match to fit your family’s personal style.

Gugu Gift Guide: Feeding Time

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to gifts pertaining to feeding time, there are so many options to choose from; we’ve rounded up some of our favorite feeding time gift items, we thought of everything, from high chairs to healthy snacks, to feeding sets and even a way to make feeding time a little easier for new moms. Read on to see our feeding time gift guide picks and don’t forget to check out our Instagram for our editor’s Instagram stories about each product.

4moms High Chair: Your little one is going to spend some special times in their high chair, so when it comes to picking out a high chair for your little one, we always recommend the 4moms high chair for so many reasons. The 4moms high chair has taken high chairs to the next level, as 4moms considers not only what baby needs out of a high chair for feeding time, but what parents may need too! 4moms understand that high chair trays can be tricky at feeding time, and have magnificently solved the problem for all parents. The 4moms high chair uses magnets to magically put the high chair tray on and off with one hand – no more fussing about a messy baby, it’s as simple as on and off with magnet technology. Speaking of magnets, minimize the mess at feeding time, because the tray is magnetic, which pairs perfectly with the 4moms magnetic bowls and plates which will stay in place as baby learns to eat themselves. When baby is done eating, clean up is a cinch; the tray liner is removable and dishwasher safe, and the removable foam insert is easy to clean. And, with 3 height positions and 2 tray positions, you can use the 4moms high chair for feeding time for baby and beyond.

Bakeology Cookies: When it comes to feeding time, there is nothing better than snacks you and your little one can share. We’re so excited about Bakeology cookies – our editor received some to try and promptly ate the entire bag on her own (sorry kids) – they’re just that good. What makes Bakeology cookies so special? A few major reasons – Bakeology Chocolate Chip Cookies are gluten free, vegan, kosher, and non-GMO verified. They’re ideal for breastfeeding moms whom are trying to avoid dairy or gluten, and they taste amazing – you’re not sacrificing flavor for gluten when it comes to Bakeology cookies. They are a perfect addition to kid’s snacks and lunches, and we love them on top of ice cream, too – plus, they’re lower in sugar than most cookie snacks, so you can indulge guilt free. Their bite size packs are a perfect addition to any diaper bag or purse, ideal for an after school or work snack, and fit perfectly in your back pocket…not that we know or anything…Use code COOKIES25 for 25% off at checkout. We know you’ll love them!

Bella Tunno: If you’re looking for a feeding time gift for someone in your life, we always turn to Bella Tunno for fun feeding time gifts for baby showers and first birthday gifts. Bella Tunno gift sets are made from food-grade, 100% FDA-approved (BPA, PVC, Phthalate Free) silicone, so you can feel good about giving a Bella Tunno set as a gift. This Hungry Hungry Hippo bib and feeding time set features a bib, 2 spoons and a bowl – everything you need for feeding time for babies and toddlers. Their cheeky designs paired with traditional products make for a fun feeding time with lots of smiles. But, we love Bella Tunno most of all because for every product sold, Bella Tunno donates 1 meal to 1 child in America, and each bundle gives 3 meals. Give back and do good with Bella Tunno; if you’re going to give a gift, choose a fun and functional gift which gives back – Bella Tunno does it all! Check out all of their super fun designs (Brunch Babe, anyone?), because we know you’ll find the perfect feeding gift set for all of the babies in your life. Use code GUGU20 for20% off your order through 3/15.

nanobébé Bottles: When it comes to feeding babies, you have to check out nanobébé bottles; Nanobebe has re-invented the baby bottle in such a revolutionary way, as nanobébé is the first and only bottle designed to preserve breastmilk nutrients, without compromising on mom’s convenience and style! nanobébé’s unique surface area is geometrically designed to spread milk into a thin layer allowing it to cool twice as fast as standard bottles on the market which prevents bacterial growth. Often parents are in such a rush to warm breastmilk for the baby that they use boiling water and in doing so, are damaging the nutrients, enzymes, and proteins in the breastmilk. However, nanobébé has a geometric design to spread milk into a thin layer, and therefore it warms quicker that all standard bottles and at safe temperatures; overheating is prevented and those precious nutrients moms work so hard to provide are protected. nanobébé is changing the way you feed baby, and if you’re creating your registry or giving a baby shower gift, we highly recommend adding the amazing nanobébé bottles.

Crane USA Humidifier: Did you know that a humidifier running in your baby’s sleep quarters will help your baby breathe, sleep and FEED more easily? Yep, it’s true. That’s why at Gugu Guru we consider the Crane Cool Mist Humidifier a must-have for all baby registries. Moist air is easier to breathe. Humidity also makes it easier to get the mucus out of your baby’s nose and a clear nose can help a congested baby nurse or bottle-feed more easily. The Crane Cool Mist Humidifier is both quiet and effective. The extra humidity helps babies to breathe easier, meaning they can sleep better and eat with less frustration helping them to be better equipped to fight off a cold. Coming in a wide variety of designs, colors and styles to complement any room, the Crane Cool Mist Humidifier makes an awesome baby shower gift.

Joeyband: This hands-free ergonomic breastfeeding support system is the exclusive skin-to-skin product of La Leche League International, and recommended in the organization’s book “Sweet Sleep: Nighttime and Nap Time Strategies for the Breastfeeding Family”. The Joeyband brings baby to breast with three positions: tummy-to-tummy, cradle and football hold and is clinically demonstrated as effective to increase initiation and exclusive breastfeeding rates.

We’re back with another What’s New on Gugu! This week we’re sharing some items that are brand new to the market and others are oldies but goodies that you may not know about. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Preggo Pickles: After trying this product at a baby show this past weekend, I was blown away! Not only are they delicious but they will truly satisfy that pickle craving that haunts many moms during pregnancy. Their unique flavors have also been created to support pregnant/new mom challenges (i.e. nausea and nursing). As an added bonus, they are extremely low in sodium when compared to other pickles on the market. So pregnant mamas crunch away!

bblüv Foöd and Döse: While National Snack Month may have ended (bye February!) we are still loving these new food storage containers from bblüv. Perfect for meals on the go, Foöd (coming soon!) is leak and odor proof and will keep your food warm (or cold) with it’s insulated walls. Plus the top can be used as a shallow bowl (with built in spoon!). Paired with the Döse stackable snack container, you will be set for on-the-go eating!

Magnetic Me Clothing: While these are not new to the market, the Magnetic Me Footies are always on my list of must-haves for new parents. The magnetic closure on these newborn essentials will be a game changer for those early days. The fabrics are so soft (I love the eco-friendly modal) and the patterns are adorable!

Toofeze: You’ve all been there (or will be soon!). Your little one is in pain from teething and nothing seems to be helping. Until Toofeze! A teether made of food-grade silicone and stainless steel, your baby will instantly be drawn to the cool relief. When the stainless disc finally does warm up, simply stick it into a glass of cool (or ice) water and it will instantly chill. This will quickly become one of baby’s favorite toys.

Solly Baby Spring Collection: Another oldie but goodie, we often recommend the Solly Wrap to our users as a must-have for the fourth trimester. Not only do they have exceptional wrap carriers, but we also love the swaddle blankets and layette sets. Their new Spring collection is few of beautiful colors, and even a few patterns all great for Mom or Dad!

The no-skid bottom and food grade silicone top make his travel tray your new germ-free go to on the plane! This is an excellent way to keep your kiddos’ entertainment and snacks contained during travel.

Ready, Set, Food!: As a mom of kids with food allergies, I am always on the lookout for new products to help combat this growing trend. Allergist-developed, these daily packets are mixed with breastmilk, formula, or food to help reduce the risk of developing a common food allergy by up to 80%. Plus, their non-GMO and organic ingredients (only milk, egg, and peanut) are introduced based on research from clinical trials and pediatric nutrition guidelines.

Monica + Andy First Foods Nurture Box: We absolutely adore these boxes (see more here!) by Monica + Andy! The gift boxes all include a variety of mix and match pieces that can be customized to meet your needs. These make a perfect baby gift for anyone on your list and come at a number of price points. It’s a perfect way to jumpstart your layette! Sidenote- we can’t stop salivating over this adorable avocado toast pattern!

Evenflo Balance + Wide Glass Baby Bottles : Created with Pediatric feeding specialists, the new glass bottle by Evenflo is a great option for eco-friendly parents! They have truly thought of everything, using shock-resistant tempered glass and a uniquely shaped nipple leading to a perfect latch. We also love the venting system, which will ensure that your little one doesn’t suck up any extra air. A great new glass feeding option!

Fusion Gates: Finally a stylish and artistic solution to the need for safety gates! The contemporary look of Fusion Gates can be further personalized to your taste with their interchangeable art screens. They truly become an art piece in your home! We also love that they can be installed with pressure mount or hardware options.Edushape Tub Sub: As a former Early Childhood and Kindergarten teacher, I love to find toys that help my kids learn while having a blast. Edushape hits the nail on the head with all of their products, which have been created to get kids to think. Their new Tub Sub will help your little one learn all about buoyancy during bath time. Plus, it’s easy to clean, which as any seasoned parent will tell you is a MUST for bath toys!

Freshly Picked Mom Clothing: A beloved moccasin company finally launched a line for Mom this Fall! Full of fun and adorable sneakers, clothing, and purses, they offer classic items in high quality fabrics. We also love the option to ‘match your little’ with coordinating t-shirts and bags!

Wash. It. Later. Bags: Perfect for on-the-go parents, Wash. It. Later. bags are the solution to life’s messiest moments with baby. Leak-proof, liquid safe bags will both hold the messy items and begin to soak them in a cleaning solution (free of harsh chemicals and all-natural) until you get to the washing machine. Great for travel and an excellent option for your gym bag messes as well!

For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page, which is constantly being updated.

Nomi Highchair: After seeing this highchair for the first time at the Chicago Baby Show last August, we were blown away by how innovative and modern it is. The seat is completely customizable and will truly grow with your child (holds up to 330 lbs.) We also love that the Nomi has taken a family-centered approach to meal time for baby and beyond!

Gabri Isle Outerwear: The weather has been downright brutal in parts of the US this winter. We are constantly trying to find cold-weather solutions to both keep baby warm and get some needed fresh air. We love the Mini Loke Thermo Suit (available in ‘Deep Navy’ and ‘Dusty Purple’) as a multi-season solution to the elements. We think this suit is especially great for urban families who need to keep their little ones warm as they walk throughout the city.

Skip Hop Playview Expandable Enclosure: Featuring six adorable cloud mesh panels, the Skip Hop enclosure is a perfect safe space to put baby down when you need to give your arms (or back) a break. Easily customizable, you can choose to use as a freestanding play space or against the wall (mounts included) as a room divider. Plus, there is a clip on activity surface to grow with your little one.

Press Pause Project: Press Pause Project products are formulated with Cannabidiol (commonly known as CBD), which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis or marijuana plant. Press Pause Project uses CBD in the line to help alleviate problems many new parents face; stress, anxiety, depression, pain, etc. Specifically geared towards women, they have formulated 100% organic creams, oils, and capsules that will help new moms and old moms alike! Plus, as they continue to grow, they are invested in giving back to women-based organizations.
