Minnesota Baby Expo 2010
We had a super busy weekend exhibiting at the Minnesota Baby Expo at the Convention Center and want to thank
all of you who stopped by our booth to say hello, check out our services, purchase a product, and register for the free Britax
car seats we were giving away. Lucky winners were notified yesterday and will have their car seats in hand by the end
of this week. If you're disappointed you didn't win, keep checking this blog in the next month or so...........another
big giveaway is on the horizon at one of our upcoming workshops.
Turns out our 'star attraction' at the
Expo was Sarah's daughter Kellyn who we shamelessly used as a prop to show how fabulous the Hugga-bebe cushioned support
works. She made a lot of friends that day and dazzled everyone with her toothless smile and adorable dimples.

Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier
Britax is well known for their safety record and has been very successful
in the convertible car seat market but has struggled some in the infant car seat catagory. That may have all changed with their introduction
6 months ago of the Chaperone Infant Carrier and stroller. We haven't had a chance to test out their stroller yet
but we have had an opportunity to play with the new infant car seat. This new car seat will fit children who weigh 4
- 30 lbs.
Some of it's features include:
- True Side Impact Protection distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body,
and keeps the head, neck and spine in true or aligned, to limit injury
- Anti-Rebound Bar stabilizes
child seat by minimizing rotational forces associated with front and rear collisions
- Quick-Adjust
Head Restraint & No Re-Thread Harness easily adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint without disassembling
the harness
- Extra Large Canopy blocks wind, rain and harmful UV rays from babys sensitive skin
- Ergonomic Carry Handle designed to contour to forearm and body to allow for more comfortable
carrying of child in carrier
We particularly like the no re-thread harness feature and the
fact that it has seven, yes seven, positions for that growing baby. Another cool feature is that the buckle strap
that comes up between the legs has two positions. Britax products always seem to be very user friendly and this seems
to follow the pattern. So far, it looks like a thumbs up but we will be demonstrating it in more workshops in the coming
months and get back to you with additional feedback.
Disclaimer: Before & After received a Chaperone
Infant Carrier from Britax to review and evaluate complimentary through the NBPA’s Manufacturer
Relations Program - no monetary gain was received from this review.

Cloth Diaper Cake
 Thank you to our local cloth diaper manufacturer...SoftBums! I was lucky enough to have the most amazing
diaper cake included in one of my baby showers. This isn't your typical diaper cake though...it's made from CLOTH
diapers - specifically SoftBums cloth diapers. This cake was made from the cloth diapers my family members purchased for me,
multiple diaper inserts, the cutest wet bag, toys, and various other decorations. Take a look at the softbums
website for information on how you can get a cloth diaper cake of your own! www.softbums.com
