MumsTheWurdUnique finds for hip parents and cool kids

We have a long standing love affair with Boon.  It started with the Potty Bench and the Frog Pod, but they’ve expanded their line quite extensively since then!  Now they’ve got a sweet little Layette line for the wee ones.  Lennon has this DNA Bodysuit, which was perfect for Summer.  Now that we’re into the colder months, how about a Coverall & Hat set in Pacifier?

You might have noticed on Boon’s website, that they now offer a complete line of ergonomic cups, cutlery, and dishware, ALL of which are BpA, Phthalate, and PVC free.  Does your baby need a place to sit while dining, while using all of this state-of-the-art dishware?  Very soon, you will see my guest post on one of  ZRecommends awesome network of blogs, Polliwogged, discussing our newest love, and excellent addition to the Boon family of products, the Flair Highchair.  I’ll let you know as soon as it’s posted…and until then, help yourself to ALL of Boon’s products!

P.S. This would look pretty great next to the Frog Pod.  Do I need a little girl to go with it though?

*Update: Congratulations to Susan, our winner of the BabyBjorn bathroom line. Susan has been notified via email and is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her prize. Thanks to everyone who entered! As always, we have giveaways galore - so keep visiting and entering for your chance to win some great prizes.

My toddler is two and a half and we’ve tested the proverbial potty training waters here and there with not a whole lot of luck so far. She knows very well what the deal is but she’s been unwilling to entertain the fact that poo-poo’s and pee-pee’s belong somewhere other than her diaper. It’s ok though, it’s only a matter of time before she comes to the realization that she will be much more comfortable staying dry.

One thing I’ve learned during this process is: your child will eventually end up using the potty. They have to be mentally ready to make the transition and there isn’t a whole lot we can say or do to force the issue if the time just isn’t right. All we can do is continue to talk about it in a positive way, don’t get angry and one day, it will just click (hopefully). That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway.

Did you know that BabyBjorn manufactures more than just carriers and feeding items? They also have an entire bathroom line. You can be completely prepared for when the time to transition from diapers to potty arrives. We have the BabyBjorn Little Potty. It’s the perfect size for traveling and serves as a great extra potty for any room in the house.

The BabyBjorn bathroom line is available in bright, assorted colors, making it easy to match your room decor. The product line includes a regular size Potty Chair, Toilet Trainer, Safe Step, Little Potty (pictured above) and Splash Proof Potty.

We’re very far from potty training right now, but this also serves as a step stool for the little guy.  Although he’s still a little short, we’re using it for him to stand at the sink and wash his hands after dinner.

What I like about this, for potty training purposes, is that it has a compartment for training supplies-including a toilet paper holder, and another compartment for books, or whatever you’d like to put in it! Being the parent of a boy, I also like the orange deflector.

This is a super cool potty-I can’t wait to get started using it!!! The two Boon products I have are both excellent.
