What is a diaper wallet?

b.box created this handy little plastic container which holds everything you need when you do not want to take your diaper bag out with you. It fits in a purse nicely and has spots for diapers, wipes, a change pad and disposable bags. The wipe portion of this container is accessible through the top as well as from the middle when it is opened making it easily available for those quick messes that do not require a diaper change. As it is a clamshell, space is efficiently used and once it is shut there are no awkward clips, Velcro or other materials that will stick out and catch on other items.

Why they are fabulous

These wallets also come in fun colours and designs which will captivate your child’s attention as you change them allowing for a faster, less fussy changing experience. This hard-shelled all-in-one container is great for parents on the go as it has everything they need in a compact case. It is great for leaving in the car in case you forget your bag at home or just want to run in for a quick change without lugging your large diaper bag with you, after all, all you need is a diaper and a few wipes. This is also handy for taking on hikes, jogs or anywhere you would take your stroller because, due to its size, this container fits in the smallest and frailest of stroller storage pouches/bins allowing more freedom and less weight to push.

These diaper wallets can also be used for more space and organization within your main diaper bag as well as you can put one of these in there fully loaded and then use the rest of the bag for clothing, cream, bottles, etc. It makes it quick and easy and you don’t have to dig through your bag looking for a diaper, then the wipes and then a bag to throw them in as they are all in this convenient little case.

Conclusion

This diaper wallet is an excellent present for all parents. It can be purchased through b.box’s website as well as through select online retailers. As this is an Australian product, it does not appear to be in stores as of yet in the United States or Canada. Several webpages will facilitate the purchase of this item and will enable shipping to your door regardless of where you live in the world (within reason).

Travel Cribs

Travel cribs are cribs that you take with you when you go on trips with the baby and the benefit is that you don’t have to use the hotel cribs.  Many hotel cribs have been declared unsafe by safety inspectors over the years. If you want to find the best travel crib you should read different reviews and talk to friends for recommendations. Most travel cribs are easy to assemble.  It is important to read the instructions carefully and so all that is asked.  These make a great baby gift as it is not something that new parents generally think to buy when they are having a baby, but it is sure to be useful.

Tips on Buying The Right Cribs

While a brand may not be the most important thing when searching for the right travel crib, it does help if you choose a travel crib from a reputable brand, such as baby bjorn. Ask friends, which brands work the best for them and another thing you can do is read a few reviews on consumer advocacy websites general review websites. You should read up on the current safety recalls on travel cribs as well. Finding a travel crib that is easy to maintain is also important and you should choose a crib that suits your baby’s weight and age.

How To Buy Affordable Travel Cribs

You can purchase used travel cribs at local flea markets since most of the cribs there are in good condition, but you should still inspect them to ensure that the crib is safe. Another idea is to take advantage of weekly sales on travel cribs.  There are plenty of online retailers that sell travel cribs at discount prices.

Conclusion

Buying a travel crib takes careful research and an understanding of what you want in a good travel crib. Before you purchase a travel crib you want to look at the installation and maintenance instructions because you want to have an idea of how much trouble it will take to install and maintain the crib. When you set up the crib for the baby, you don’t want to crowd the crib with too many toys since this causes a hazard for the baby. To add a decorative touch to the crib, paint it a different color or put rhinestones on the outside of it.  Finally, you should troubleshoot the crib for problems so that you can keep the baby safe at all times.
