Graco 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

0 comments

As a child growing up, I always had the impeller type humidifiers in which a spinning tube would draw water inside of it and then toss it out in a visible mist. While these could be quite effective, they had the drawback of being loud and soaking everything around them.

When my daughter was born, we got an ultrasonic humidifier. The mist was a little finer, but again, it had the tendency to soak everything around it, and created scale on itself and its surroundings with tap water.

So this time I decided to go with the evaporative type of humidifier. With these, a fan draws moisture out of a wick filter that is then disbursed about the room. These types of humidifiers have the advantage of being self-regulating because evaporation is quicker in a dry room, slower in a moist room. They also trap the minerals and bacteria that may be in the water in the filter instead of spraying them in the room. The disadvantages are that they require costly filters, and you have to treat the water to keep bacteria, mold, and scale from building up on the filter and components. Both of these can be achieved with the addition of a few drops of humidifier treatments that can be found at your local Wal-Mart.

With all this in mind, I did lots of comparison shopping and finally turned to the Graco 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. This compact unit appears to be much more durable than other brands at a similar price point, and since its components are dishwasher safe, it is much easier to give it a thorough cleaning. Although the unit could be considered loud, especially on its high setting, the low setting is quite pleasant to me, and provides a nice white noise to counteract background sounds. Most importantly, it does a good job of raising the humidity into comfortable levels during the winter. And with the water appropriately treated, there is NO mold on my filter and minimal mineral deposits.

Note: this is advertised as a "baby" humidifier, but its shape and design fit as well as any other humidifier in any room of your house. We bought two. One for our bedroom, the other for my daughter. Buy Graco 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier!

Cons:
Easy of use very very poor.
Cheep construction

Front seat tray is very difficult to open and close.
Very hard to open and cloths stroller.


Pros:
Ligth weight

Resonable shock absorbption.

May not be specific to this stroller but the design of front back is difficult to turn and dangerous in parking lots. Its very hard to see who is comming without putting your little onse in harms way.

Graco Swing 'N Bounce 3-in-1 Infant Swing in Jungle Crew

0 comments

We bought this swing when our daughter was 6 weeks old. A vigorous kid already, she likes to be bounced and jostled around quite a bit, and we ordered the thing to help our aching arms and thighs. When we received the swing in the mail, we were so excited to set it up and see what her reaction would be.

Well, construction went just fine- the directions are clear and the whole thing comes together in about a half hour. However, when we put her in, it was pretty lame. The swing didn't go very high at all, and you'd think with six different speeds that it would fairly well satisfy the full range of need in babies. I decided to call Graco to see if anyone else had had this issue and if possibly our motor was defective. They were very polite and immediately sent us a new motor piece. Unfortunately, even with the new piece the swinging was about the same and our girl quickly grew bored with the low momentum.

So, back to the title, if you have a baby who is more 'easy listening' than '80's pop', this is the swing for you! If not, check out the side-to-side swings, as they seem to be a bit more vigorous in their motions. We replaced ours with a model of this sort and she's been a happy girl!Buy Graco Swing 'N Bounce 3-in-1 Infant Swing in Jungle Crew!

Graco Air Purifier

0 comments

This is one of few purifiers to actually move the air in one direction. Most purifiers expel air on both sides, this one doesn't. It expels air to one side creating a better filtering effect allowing the air to circulate.
I had also previously purchased a Honeywell Purifier that was supposed to be very effective but really wasn't. The filter on it was so porous I really couldn't find anything else to use it for except for a fan.
This purifier is great. It is small, has quiet but yet still effective air purifying abilities and also has the ability to be turned up to a high level which still doesn't make a lot of noise because it has the cylindrical fans(like most purifiers) as apposed to the blades.
This product might have been designed for babies but it works too well to solely be used for their rooms. I have mine near all of my electronic equipment to expand their lifespans.
You really can't get a better filter for this price.
p.s. Do not let the low price discourage you, this product could definitely have been sold at a higher price and still have made a nice profit for GRACO

Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington

0 comments

I purchased this stroller specifically b/c we were going to Disney World with 4 children, and we needed a stroller that was comfortable for my 9 month old and 2 yr old that was lightweight enough to go on the tram cars from the Disney parking lot. This stroller was perfect for that. My husband says I should start my own stroller store, I have tried so many different ones. This did the job needed. A few things that would make it better: snack trays instead of just the cushioned bar, a way for the pads to stay attached better (they slide down a lot); and even thought the steering was okay, it would be better if both the back and front wheels could swivel (only the front ones do.)
Overall, I was very satisfied. With a few improvements, it would be perfect.Buy Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington!

Gogo Babyz Infant Cruizer Car Seat Travel System (for Graco)

0 comments

The handle IS pretty flimsy, but we haven't found it to be a major problem. We don't use this all the time (the carrier fits into a larger stroller), but when there's not a lot of space in the car or for getting quickly to and from someplace where there are no shopping carts and a full-size stroller would be a problem (the airport, for instance), it comes in VERY handy. It probably shouldn't replace a regular stroller, but it's convenient as a supplement and we definitely use ours.

Be prepared to have people ask you about it, though. It stands out and people want to know where you got it, what it is, etc.

Update - 12/22/08

I just got back from visiting family across the country and using the Cruizer as my son's only stroller. It worked really well. I took him shopping, to Disneyland, and through three different airports. The handle wasn't a problem, and the Cruizer was really easy to maneuver in crowds and around tight corners. I was once again asked about it over and over and people would point out the strange little stroller as we went by. The smallness of it seemed to be the appeal. My favorite comment at Disneyland was "Check out the little dude!" As for my son, he had a blast leaning back in his familiar carseat, taking it all in.Buy Gogo Babyz Infant Cruizer Car Seat Travel System (for Graco)!

I bought this stroller for my sister in law after having used a different Graco stroller for over 2 years. If you are looking for a daily use, taking the baby for a walk around the neighborhood or for shopping stroller, this is it!
Pros: biggest size of storage basket you can find, 3 cup holders, 1 snack food holder, 1 hand fold, very sturdy on any surface, reclines. Not too heavy comparing with other full size stroller.
Cons: A litte wide in size if you live in the city center. Size is not airport travel friendly.
Combined with my lightweight umbrella stroller for air travel, I have good solutions for hauling the kids around.Buy Graco MetroLite Stroller!

Graco Lauren 4-in-1 Dropside Convertible Crib - White

0 comments

Put simply, these convertible cribs are marketed as something they are not. You cannot later convert the crib into a working child bed...without going out and buying a metal bed frame, and box spring. You don't find this out until you purchase the crib. A better title would be "crib which also becomes a headboard only. Even that is laughable -- who has headboards on children's beds? This is a savvy marketing trick, to say "Hey, call it convertible and people will buy ours over another crib -- except one side of the crib will become a headboard and they'll have to go purchase the actual bed frame and everything else.

The crib, as far as it goes, is great. The product as advertised, is not.Buy Graco Lauren 4-in-1 Dropside Convertible Crib - White!

Graco Digital Deluxe iMonitor Baby Monitor

0 comments

Nothing irks me more than this supposed "baby monitor". Because isn't the point of a baby monitor to monitor babies? Not to work sometimes, if the moon and stars are aligned perfectly, and work only when it feels like working. Not to beep endlessly and flip channels until I want to pull my hair out and throw the thing against the wall, not necessarily in that order.

Now when this monitor works, it works well - it picks up every little sound clearly and I can hear my babies the instant they wake up. I rarely hear static. Despite other reviews, it has a long battery life (7-8 hours). I have twins, and set up this monitor in two different rooms so that I can hear the babies whether they are napping together or separately. I rarely remove the receivers from their battery chargers; they just sit in my office where I'm working, which is incidentally 15 feet from either baby. Since nothing moves, you'd think I'd only have to set it up once and be done, yes?

Not even close. What usually happens is one of two things:

One, it will lose a frequency and search for a signal. It does this whether I'm on the other end of the house or in the next room. It loses a signal at least twice per day. Then it starts endlessly beeping, during which I begin to imagine drop-kicking this monitor across several blocks and into the freeway, where it gets run over again and again by a convoy of tractor trailers.

Two, it will flip channels so that it's suddenly monitoring the same room as the other device, and now one baby is out of communication. It doesn't matter that the switch is set to "room 2", because it's now monitoring room 1. I have no warning this has happened, no beeps or even a flashing light, so unless I'm within earshot and hear her crying, that baby is out of luck should she need attention. This happens at least once every other day, so I simply don't go out of earshot anymore. To which I wonder, why have a baby monitor at all? It's only out of morbid curiosity I keep it plugged in.

I will try to reset the frequency (which you do by clicking buttons which also beep maddeningly) but usually this doesn't work, and it continues to beep. I am actually surprised this monitor hasn't yet been embedded in my wall.

Maybe today will be the day.Buy Graco Digital Deluxe iMonitor Baby Monitor!

This swing is horrible. It took around an hour to put it together because the directions were so bad. It was easier to look at the box than use the directions. When I turned it on, it worked but the sound quality of the music was really bad. It also made an irritating popping sound from a preassembled piece that hit on a bar. Three days later, I used it again and the motor stopped working. I promptly returned this piece of junk.Buy Graco Lovin Hug Swing - Safari Sun!

Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet White

0 comments

This is one of the most cheaply made products I have ever seen. As other reviews have mentioned, they are so thin you can see right through them. They are also not well designed. My little ones do not stay perfectly still when they sleep. Unfortunately, pretty much any movement by the kids and the long sides come up over the pad.

I found some fitted sheets that actually stay on at [...]. The mom hand makes them, and she actually went out of her way to find a fabric that I liked. They are soft, stylish, and affordable. A much better option, in my opinion, plus I know I'm helping out another mom instead of some giant corporation!Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet White!

Graco Humidifier Replacement filter for 1.5 Gallon

This is the cheapest replacement filter for our Hamilton Beach humidifier that I found. My only complaint(s) is that it does not say how often to change these filters nor does the packaging offer any advice on how to extend the life of these filters. It seems that they do not last more than a few weeks without drying up or turning brown. I guess that's normal, but neither the humidifier nor these replacement packages tell you how often to replace the filters.Buy Graco Humidifier Replacement filter for 1.5 Gallon!

Graco Ionic Diaper Bag

0 comments

The bag itself is great. Lots of space, not too bulky. However I was very disappointed in the color. In the picture, the flap on the second, smaller bag appears to be silver and match the light blue color well. When I received it , the flap is actually a greenish, goldish, brownish color...not attractive at all and definitely not a good combination with the light blue. I ended up turning the smaller bag around so you can't see the flap, but then of course it makes it more difficult to access. Functionally it is exactly what I was looking for but I wish it was more aesthetically pleasing. Buy Graco Ionic Diaper Bag!

****The Graco Mosaic Stroller in Ionic, is really a great stroller! I am 6' tall and my husband 6'4" and the handles are the perfect height for us. My mom who is 5'4" loved the position of the handles too, very comfortable! I also just flew for the first time with my 8 week old daughter and we brought the stroller, it was perfect. Light weight, folds up neatly, and you can collapse it with one hand (other hand holding the baby!) It was easy to put together when it arrived (5 minutes and done). The color is great too, I have the matching car seat and it fits in nicely onto the stroller (its very secure). I recommend this stroller to anyone who is searching for one. I researched a lot of strollers and carseats and found this set to be wonderful!!! ****Buy Graco Mosaic Stroller in Ionic!

Graco Sarah 4 in 1 Convertible Crib - White  

0 comments

This crib was the worst thing I have ever purchased. In a pinch, after the original crib I had order didn't make it in time, I went and bought the Sarah crib by Graco. It felt very flimsy, it wasn't easy to put together and the plastic pieces for the side rail broke off at the bottom. After only two months of my grand daughter being in the crib, the screws AND screw housing came out of the crib. I walked into her room to find her putting the screw into her mouth. The lowest setting of the crib mattress was also not low enough, and if my grand daughter were to stand on her tippy toes and lean forward, she could fall out! Add to the fact that the plastic piece broke so that one side of the crib was lower and not secure, and you have a recipe for disaster. I wouldn't even GIVE this crib away! The finish on the crib began to wear away and the knots in the wood began to crack. Because the crib was white, you could see the white becoming discolored around where the knots were.

Don't buy this crib!Buy Graco Sarah 4 in 1 Convertible Crib - White  !

Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Halee

We were not that confident with this car seat. Using it rear facing, it does not seem as sturdy as our old Graco infant seat. The fact you have to roll up a towel to level it doesn't make sense and we had to purchase a new headrest to make more comfortable, luckily because I just read in a review that the headrest was recalled. We usually like and trust Graco, but this seat has not been up to their usual standard. We will probably buy the more expensive Graco seat with better reviews, and lose money on restocking fee.Buy Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Halee!

Takes way too long to strap my crying baby into the 5-point harness. Just makes things worse.

This chair was a gift to us when our first daughter was born. It works great as a high chair, I don't think it's that hard to go wrong there. However, it is huge!! It folds, but it takes up just about much space folded as it does unfolded. The tray is not sturdy at all. My 6-month old can kick it so that it falls off the chair!

0 comments

This is a great product. My wife and I sleep much more soundly at night knowing that our baby is being monitored by this product while she sleeps. I've had the monitor about 5 months and only two times a false alarm has sounded. This occurred because she was not in the center of the bed and was breathing lightly at the same time. To me this is no big deal to check up on her. I prefer the machine to err on the side of caution than to confuse vibrations in the house as baby movements. Well worth the money.Buy Graco Angelcare Movement Sensor with Nursery Monitor!

Graco Diaper Bag in Marlowe

0 comments

For me this bag really was the perfect size... not too big, not too small. It had compartments for everything I needed. Even had a removable zippered pouch. The only thing that I wish they would have done differently is the zipper into the bag. First it doesn't meet the material from end to end so when it's closed you have about an inch on each side that you can put your fingers in the bag. So when the bag is unzipped you have a terrible time getting things out of the bag since essentially the bag is wider than the zipper will open. I struggled to get the changing pad out and really struggled getting the cardboard packing out, finally had to try and fold it in half while still in the bag. I'm returning this bag as it really just won't function right with this current zipper. I'd also like to point out that it says the strap is adjustable... it isn't (that wasn't a problem but thought some folks might like to know)Buy Graco Diaper Bag in Marlowe!

Graco MetroLite Stroller, Mondo

0 comments

This is the absolute best stroller that I have ever used (and we have used a lot). Compared to our other heavy, bulky Peg Perego Venezia, this stroller is a dream. It is easy to assemble out of the box and ready to use. It is so simple to open and close and the latch keeps it closed so it can even stand up on the floor while closed. It is light and fits easily into the trunk of our small sedan. I couldn't fit an entire load of groceries in the trunk while the stroller is in there....but why would I bring the stroller to the grocery store?! It is narrow, and easy to pick up with one hand. The large, rubber, puncture proof wheels are awesome - we have walked through mud, and puddles and all over the place with no problems. It is like pushing nothing at all - totally effortless. The basket is large, the cups are great. It has 3 reclining positions which is very useful for an on the go nap, or diaper change. The 5 point harness is useful and actually works, unlike the Peg Perego Aria which slips out easily.

Overall, this stroller is a must. We use it every day, for walking outside (several miles a day) and at the mall, and the beach, etc. If you have been dissatisfied with other strollers, this is the one to get.Buy Graco MetroLite Stroller, Mondo!

Graco Toddler SafeSeat Step2 Reclining Car Seat in Ionic

0 comments

We have been using these car seats for awhile now. We have two of them, one for our 2-year-old and one for our 4-year-old. We love the RECLINE feature -- in fact, we use it so much, I don't know what we did before without it. Well, wait, yes I do -- their poor little heads bobbed around and they got no quality sleep and woke up with stiff necks!

Anyway, I just wanted to say that yes, they are big and heavy. But I guess it depends on what your needs are. We drive a minivan, so room isn't an issue like it is in a smaller car. We don't fly, so don't need it for a plane. And we don't have a need to move them often. They are nice and secure -- the tightest fitting car seats we have ever owned -- and are very easy to install and remove.

But, I will also mention that they are the most expensive car seats we have ever owned. So, we do not have Britax experience to compare them to.Buy Graco Toddler SafeSeat Step2 Reclining Car Seat in Ionic!

Graco Grove Park Lovin' Hug Infant Swing

This item is poorly designed, and the assembly instructions are the worst I have ever seen.

The drawings are extremely small, completely lacking in clarity, and appear to have been drafted by someone who never studied mechanical drawing. (I could do better having studied mechanical drawing in high school for one semester over 50 years ago.)

The parts are not identified, and drawings cannot be deciphered. After 40 minutes of trying to figure out the instructions, I gave up and threw the numerous parts back into the box. It is going back!

There is absolutely no reason for consumers to tolerate such a shoddy business practice! Our time is way too valuable.

We bought it at about $29, and it does exactly what we expected to do, at least for the money payed. Good sound; parent unit battery will last for about 3-4 hours; works over large distances (tested at 12 meters).

Graco Ultra Clear Vibe Monitor

0 comments

I have always been pleased with the quality of Graco products, and I cannot believe the poor quality of this monitor, especially considering you can get so much better for the same price. Our Sony monitor was excellent, until it needed repair. In the meantime, I chose this monitor because I wanted something with a vibration feature. I wear hearing aids and wanted something that would get my attention without me having to hear it. What a HUGE disappointment!

We set the unit up while getting baby ready for bed. There was no one in the room with the transmitter, but the parent unit would vibrate every few minutes. It picked up TV and radio signals and we could hear them despite turning the sound all the way down. Even when it was picking up the right signal, the sound quality was extremely poor, lots of static and crackling. Very cheap product for a not very cheap price! If it was a bargain basement price of $10, then I could understand, but for $40 I expected so much more. We couldn't even use it for a single night and it is going back right away.

Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic

0 comments

We just recieved our Graco SafeSeat in the Rittenhouse pattern. Just thought I'd add two specific comments directed toward those shopping on-line.

1. We bought from Amazon partially because of the really great price (it seems to vary every few days, so keep watching) and the free shipping. Supposedly it was going to take longer for the free shipping-- 3-5 days for order processing and 7-10 for shipping. I placed the order on the evening of 3/25 and it arrived 3/28. Now that's fast!!

2. If you are a first time parent you may not be aware that car seats have manufacture dates. It is virtually impossible to find out the manufacture date from customer service agents (I tried lots of different websites), as the phone operators have no acess to the acutal product that's being shipped. It is on the outside of the individual box or stamped on the underside of your carseat if you're looking in the store. Lots of horror stories out there of online purchased car seats that were manufactured 3 years or more prior. Usually its not too big a deal, as most are thought to be safe 5-6 years after their "manufacture date". But if you are specfically looking for a manufacture date to ensure it is compatible with your stroller system or plan to use it again for another child later.. it may be more important to you. The Graco Rittenhouse we bought on 3/25/09 was manufactured on 12/23/08. Yea! Good work amazon! We're happy with our online purchase.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic!

Product works great! Only concern is the noise it makes while swinging. It is slightly loud although it does help our baby fall asleep so I am not complaining! Highly recommended!Buy Graco Silhoutte Swing - Melbourne!
