Little Passports Brings Your Child the World

Have your child learn about the world or the USA with Little Passports. Little Passports is a subscription service that allows your child to visit a new country or new state each month! Choose from the World Edition (ages 5-10) or the USA edition (ages 7-12) where Sam and Sofia have a magical GPS that allows them to travel anywhere in the world. Through their stories and travels, they teach your child all about the country (or state) they are in through their letters, games, activities and more. It's an excellent subscription kit in my book and not only gets kids excited, but teaches them all about the world we are in.

My daughter Chloe (now 5 1/2 years old) received the World Edition to try out and I can't believe how much she loves it.

The first Explorer Kit comes with:

• travel suitcase


• letter from Sam and Sofia


• travel passport


• fun stickers


• activity sheet


• access to online games and activities

We also received the first adventure kit that would typically come the next month. For this package, we received Japan and Chloe loved the whole process of learning about Japan through Sam and Sofia's trip. She loved the sushi eraser and the origami papers. She immediate put the pin sticker on the world map - a great touch to give a kid perspective on the world and where they have "traveled to". She also put the Japan sticker in her passport. We did some of the activities together since she is still a new reader. We haven't tried the online activities yet but we hope to soon. It's a huge hit and Chloe is already asking where we will go next month!

I don't have the USA set to review but I am also looking forward to having her subscribe to that in a few years. What a smart way to know all the states and capitals. I remember how hard it was for me to just memorize and not fully understand all of the nuances of each state.

The Monthly Plan $11.95/ month with $2 shipping. You can also visit the World Edition Subscriptions or USA Edition Subscriptions for information on the 6 months and 12 months subscription deals.

BubbleBum Booster Car Seat Now at Target + Giveaway

BubbleBum is the first ever inflatable booster seat that's the perfect portable companion for carpools, sleepovers, rental cars, and travel. BubbleBum is for children ages 4-11 who weigh between 40-100 pounds. It should only be used with a 3 point car seat belt (shoulder + lap belt) when used in a vehicle. It meets all U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards too. For all the times I have had a rental car while my car was in the shop, I only wished I had this to make the quick pick up from school so much easier.

BubbleBum is really easy to use. When deflated the booster is so compact and fits nicely in it's little bag. To inflate, you twist the valve open and blow until it inflates. I tried it myself and it doesn't take much effort to get it nice and full. It also comes with a seatbelt positioning clip so it sits comfortably on your child's shoulder. A huge plus is that this fits perfectly in my tote bag!

I already know this will be great for when we go to the movies and Chloe needs an extra little boost in her chair in the theater. And I am excited that we can easily bring this on our next vacation or when we have a quick car ride with a friend.

BubbleBum is now available in Target stores in the Bay Area and across the U.S. To find the Target near you that sells BubbleBum, check out the store locator.

Sit 'N Stroll: Travel Car Seat + Stroller

We are off soon on our first family vacation to Hawaii and one of the purchases I made is the Lily Gold Sit 'N Stroll 5 in 1 Car Seat & Stroller ($243.51 on Amazon). The thought of lugging Chloe at 15 months through the airport while carrying her large car seat or having her fidget and scream on my lap just didn't seem appealing to me. A friend and mom I trust, Nancy recommended it as she has been using it for traveling with her daughter for over a year. This is an FAA approved car seat that doubles as a travel stroller and a booster seat. You can wheel your little one into the airport and even down the airplane aisle to get him/her in their seat. Plus at only 22 pounds this whole thing is pretty light weight compared to carrying a regular car seat and stroller. The less crap I have to lug around the better. Sure it's a bit pricey but I figured we'll be traveling for the next few years and I hope to have another baby who can use this too. Seemed like a worthy investment!

The reviews for the Sit 'N Stroll on One Step Ahead definitely confirmed it all for me. I found the best price on Amazon because there is no sales tax and free shipping on this item. Woo!

I'll write up my own review of the product after we are back from vacation.
