 I guess it gets the job done. . ., April 5, 2009
But the extras like the changing table and diaper stacker aren't worth the extra money to me. The changing station sagged from day 1 b/c it needs a support on the side which doesn't attach to the playpen. There are several other brands on the market which have this type of support. Also I thought the diaper stacker was convenient for holding diapers but the wipe box didn't fit very securely so when I pulled a wipe out the whole box came out with it. I would either buy one with fewer bells and whistles next time around, or spend more for one with a changing table that is properly supported.

Not awful, but not great either., April 5, 2009
I used this bag for 2mos and retired it for a different kind. It had enough room, but when it was packed it was topheavy so it would not only fall over, but since the velcro closure at the top doesn't run across the entire opening everything would spill out of it. Not very fun when all your nice clean baby stuff goes sliding out onto a germy floor. I did like that it was easy to strap to a stroller; that is the main reason why I bought it.

 Drives like a dream, April 5, 2009
I bought this stroller yesterday to go to a county cookoff and it was wonderful! It rides smoothly, reclines easily, and the basket underneath was plenty big enough for the diaper bag and a couple of other things. It is a bit heavy but that is part of what makes the ride smooth, and I like that the wheels come off b/c that helped it fit in the trunk better. They are easy to reattach too; no special tools needed. I am so happy I didn't try to fight with my umbrella stroller there, it just would not have worked. I think for this price, this jogger/sport utility stroller can't be beat. I should have gotten mine months ago.

Viable solution, but definitely needs work., November 2, 2008
I bought these bags when I got my Medela pump, and I have to say I haven't been very impressed. Pumping directly into the bags is a real chore b/c they're very prone to spillage, and then I find sealing them is pretty difficult as well. Also the perforations at the top are really crummy and I have to use scissors to avoid tearing the bag. It's a lot easier to pump into the collection bottle and then pour into the bag after I've already cut the top off and written info on the label. I probably won't buy them again since they're too inconvenient to justify the price.

Wonderful for latching problems, November 2, 2008
I received this shield in the hospital b/c my son couldn't latch; I have flat nipples and he would get really frustrated b/c there wasn't anything to grab. This shield really helped b/c he has something to grab and also it keeps him from pinching me while he's nursing. I bought 2 more after we were discharged so I could keep one in the diaper bag and have another on hand; I will probably end up buying a couple more to cut down on all the washing - they can go in the dishwasher but we only need to run ours every other day or so. I am so glad the lactation consultant suggested these, b/c I'd have had to feed formula otherwise.

I'd have given up w/o this!, November 2, 2008
I LOVE Medela's Lanolin formula. It's so easy to spread and instantly relieves stinging and soreness, and you only need a teeny dab. I also had tried Lanisoh and it was too sticky and hard to spread, which made my nipples actually hurt even worse. I keep a tube in my pump tote bag and one in my bathroom to reapply after showering. If I hadn't happened to receive a sample of this, I'd have never known about it and probably would have given up on breastfeeding within a week.

VERY CONVENIENT!, May 28, 2007
I'd wanted a Foreman grill for several years, but never bought one b/c I refuse to buy anything that can't go in the dishwasher. Imagine my excitement when this one came out! For the last 6 months I've used it about twice a week for grilled meats and panini sandwiches. It took some practice b/c my first steak was overdone and my first panini was underdone, but it didn't take long to get the hang of it.
Cleaning is a breeze; I just use the included grooved spatula-thing as soon as the food's off, then eat, then while it's still a bit warm I pull the plates off and scrub with a vegetable brush under running water before I stick it in the dishwasher. If you have hard water I recommend using a rinse aid; my grill plates had crusty speckles on them after the first wash but I didn't have a problem after I added some Jet-Dry.
Also, mine came with a cookbook that had very helpful tips and some yummy recipe ideas, including deserts. Haven't tried any yet but they sound easy.
