Traveling with Tots: Customize …

April 23, 2015 By admin

Have you ever seen a fashionable baby car seat?  They didn’t exist when my daughter was born five years ago but they do now… If you’re looking for a stylish and safe car seat that can be customized to match your car’s interior or your outfits, check out Maxi-Cosi’s Mico Max 30.

Traveling with Tots: Customize Your Car Seat With Maxi-Cosi

I went to the Maxi-Cosi Custom Program launch party last week where stylish (and pregnant) Bobbie Thomas showed us how easy it is to mix and match fabrics and frames to customize these new car seats. With more than 250 potential combinations, parents can channel their inner designers as they see their creations come alive via the Maxi-Cosi website.

Here’s some eye candy I designed…

Traveling with Tots: Customize Your Car Seat With Maxi-Cosi

Like a year round summer feel?  Click on a White frame, Pink Berry seat cushion, Grey Gravel canopy and Mosaic Blue cozi set.  Want to blend right in with your car’s dark leather interior?   Click your way to a Black frame, Blue Base seat, Devoted Black canopy and Purple Pace cozi set. Custom seats are hand-assembled and delivered within three weeks, with free shipping offered for a limited time.

Aside from being stylish, the Mico Max 30, designed for rear-facing children from 4 to 30 pounds and up to 32 inches, provides superior safety for baby with Air Protect Side Impact Protection and an anti-rebound bar.  Self-wicking fabrics, and a washer/dryer-safe seat pad that snaps off without undoing harnesses, make this a great option for babies who get car sick.  Mico Max 30 is also the lightest premium car seat available, making it a great option for globetrotting families. Traveling by plane, pair it with the Maxi-Taxi folding base and you’re good to go.

Which combination is your favorite?

Best Booster Car Seat for …

August 5, 2014 By admin

After years of dealing with baby and toddler car seats, I’m thrilled to report that my daughter now meets the requirements to travel in a booster car seat. If you’re looking for the best booster car seat for traveling, look no further than the BubbleBum inflatable booster car seat for kids ages four-11.

Best booster car seat for traveling: Globetrotting Mommy BubbleBum Review

I recently got to test drive the award-winning BubbleBum booster seat and my daughter and I were really happy with its performance. First off, its so small and light which makes it easy to throw in your bag for taxi rides and perfect for taking on vacations. You simply unroll, blow it up in seconds (don’t worry, there’s an easy valve), place it on the seat, buckle your child in with the car seat belt and then slip the car seat belt straps through the red restraints on both sides. If your child is young, there is one more restraint that keeps the shoulder strap in place (its that red shoulder level loop pictured below). Seriously fast and easy and very comfortable according to my little passenger. Can you imagine never again having to contort your body as you reach though disgusting taxi and car rental seats searching for the LATCH bars while ruining your manicure? You’re welcome!

Best booster car seat for traveling: Globetrotting Mommy BubbleBum Review

We tried it in taxis, in friend’s cars and even when we went to test drive a car this past weekend. We’ll continue to use a permanent car seat in our car but I know the BubbleBum going to get a lot of mileage on vacations, in rental cars and when my daughter’s friends come along on weekend outings.

It exceeds US and European requirements, comes in four color options (black, purple, neon pink and neon yellow) and retails for just $29.99. In addition to traveling and taxi rides, I think it would be very handy for carpooling, babysitter and grandparent’s cars and fitting three car seats in a row.

Last but not least, there’s a BubbleBum app that features fun kids games (perfect for road trips) and checklists for parents! Win, win.

Bon voyage…
