The Cosco NEXT Convertible car seat is light, priced right and compact

Having a baby means a whole new department of product education. One of the biggest entries in that category are car seats. We were offered the chance to review the Cosco NEXT Convertible Car Seat.  Baby car seats run the gamut with bells, whistles and colors, but at the end of the day all you, as the parent want is for it to be safe, just in case an accident happens.

The Tiny Traveler Egypt and France: armchair, toddler education

It’s a different world now isn’t it?  When I was a kid it seemed so large, foreign and unapproachable.  The Tiny Traveler France and The Tiny Traveler Egypt are cardboard books designed for kids two and under about colors and shapes.  When the books arrived I took out the France book to show our oldest some of the monuments in France.  I sometimes start out things with a question, so I asked him, “what’s this?” pointing to the Eifel Tower on the cover.

Kid catch phrases, spring 2105: the danger hole

Kids say cute things all the time. A couple years ago it was the very cryptic “fi fi outside”.  For a while my wife and I thought that “fi fi outside” was one of the neighbors walking their dog. To the adult mind that makes sense but makes you question your neighbors who would have the faux Parisian gall to name their dog ‘fi fi’. By the end of that spring we realized that he was saying “leaf outside”, which still makes sense because of the ‘-af’ sound that they hear last.  This spring has created a new catchphrase, one that’s replete with soundtrack memories of Kenny Loggins.

My Little Pony: Fiendship is Magic #2 review

My Little Pony has a couple of titles in their lineup and our 5 year old likes them. We highlight them on the list of new all age comic books and this month they’ve got an event that’ll introduce many new fans to the dark side of Equestria. Our experience with the ponies in Equestria is limited, so to know that there are so many villains in the series encourages us for future issues.

Ultimate Spider-Man Magazine, comic and activity for kids 6-12
