Recently, Emily and I have told you about some really cool products that are working for us, Kaboost and the Itzbeen Timer. These are both part of a new line of parent-invented products that are being carried exclusively at Target. Now we all know that pretty much every woman in the entire world luuurves Target, and this Parent Inventors line is just another reason to love it! A couple of other products I’ve tried from the line are the Ribbies hair clippies and the Babylegs. These both retail for about $10-$12 and are well worth the money! The Ribbies come in a set of four – two matching pair – and $10 for four is about what I am used to paying for the clips I’ve bought for Sophie in the past.
These are an alligator-style clip and they have kind of a foam in the middle that keeps them in your little girl’s hair. I tried them in Sophie’s hair for the first time on a windy day and after plenty of outside play, the clip stayed in! I didn’t have to adjust it for several hours, and Sophie left it alone – it wasn’t bothering her at all. Here’s a photo of her playing outside that day:
Isn’t that a cute clip? I am really pleased with the quality and the cuteness!
These Babylegs are something I had heard of but never seen until I saw them at Target. They are basically legwarmers for babies. At first the concept seemed silly to me, but once I got a pair, I found them very useful! We all have those occasions where we don’t want to get baby dressed until we are ready to leave the house, just in case he or she would pee, poop, or smear food all over their outfit. On a cool morning, I let Sophie run around in a onesie and her Babylegs until I am ready to get her dressed. Since she will be two in November (ack! typing that makes me want to CRY!!), and we will most likely be potty training around that time, I am planning to get another pair or two so I can keep her in the Babylegs instead of pants during training times, since it will be too chilly for her to be in just underwear or a diaper. So, despite being skeptical at first, I loves me some Babylegs! And I am so glad they are available at (say it with me now!) Tar-zhay!
Soon, Emily is going to be telling you about some other products she has tried that are also part of the Parent Inventors Line – but until then, you can check out all the products offered here. There are tons of products invented by moms and dads that I wish I had thought of myself! And now, I must go, unless someone has invented a product to remove a screaming toddler from one’s leg while one is trying to finish a blog post!
