For the modern baby and mama: baby star {Giveaway} – CLOSED

September 14, 2009 By

About baby star: dana bach johnson started the company in fall of 2004 with the purpose of making her new little star shine. after the birth of their first son, dana and her husband bo tuned up the sewing machine to craft the accessories they desired. by joining together dana’s background in advertising and bo’s in marketing, they developed products that blended cool, hip designs with ultra soft textures. baby tested and parent approved, all of these elements fused together fueled the birth of baby star.

I don’t know about you, but I loathe diaper bags with decorations like teddy bears, monkeys, or pepto-bismol pink with more hot pink and bright purple flowers…talk about an assault on the eyes!   I’m sure it doesn’t bother everyone, but it makes me feel so uncool as a mom to have a less than stylish diaper bag. baby star has the cutest baby products that allows mama and baby to stay stylish and modern. Not only does baby star carry fabulous totes, but they also have hooded towels, bibs, bedding, etc.

baby star wants to offer our Busy Mom readers a 30% off retail discount to buy their fabulous products. The code is 20twinkle09 (The offer expires on 12/31/09)

One Busy Mom reader will win a baby star Rock the Tote in Daisy Chain print.

Win an All Terrain X3 Sport Single Stroller from Tike Tech!

September 13, 2009 By

UPDATE: Consumer report’s recent tests of strollers revealed three models that we’ve designated Don’t Buy: Safety Risk—the Valco Baby Tri-Mode and Tike Tech City X3 all-terrain strollers and the Tike Tech X3 Sport jogging stroller.

 

logo-x3-sport

Sounds like a great car, right?  Nope, this All Terrain X3 Sport is actually a stroller from the 2010 line of Tike Tech strollers!  If you and your family like to go walking or jogging then this is the stroller for you.  This stroller is built to glide safely and comfortably over the bumps of the road.  It is car seat and bassinet compatible so even the littlest of adventure seekers can come along.

Tike Tech designs baby gear products with an emphasis on the outdoors and has a commitment to quality, safety and customer support.  All 2009/2010 strollers are field and internally tested rigorously to create and maintain the safest possible product.  Not only does Tike Tech have safety as a priority, they also have variety.  You can add several different accessories to any of the strollers including: car seat adapters, snack and pack bag, foot muffs, stroller covers, bassinets, baby doodle  inserts and water bottle holders.

Here are some features of the X3 Sport Single that I like:

  • Seat: Fully padded with low ride recline (suitable from 6 weeks on) with padded seat bottom and seat back support (not flimsy hammock style). Includes a mesh pocket and a removable rear seat cover. Stain resistant makes clean up a snap.
  • Seat Harness: 5-point harness with adjustable padded safety straps, shoulder pads and adjustable chest strap.
  • Canopy: Removable (multi positional) with adjustable “low drop down visor”. Includes a large moon roof with moon roof cover.
  • Warranty: 5 year on frame. Standard 1 year on soft goods.

Tike Tech has other strollers including the: City X3 Swivel Single, City X3 Twin, City X4 Swivel Single and the X3 Sport Twin.  All strollers can come in Classic Black, Pacific Blue, Alpine Red or Autumn Orange.

Here is what we thought of the X3 Sport:

Giveaway: Free Custom Wall Sticker – TWO Winners (Closed – Winners Announced)

September 11, 2009 By

Winners!

Congratulations to Brittney and Jayne! Thank you to everyone who entered. Please keep an eye out for more great giveaways from Busy Mom and UPrinting.

****

OnlinePosterPrinting.com is rolling out a new product and Busy Mom readers will be among the first to try it!

The new product is an innovative adhesive fabric they call a Wall Sticker. Just imagine a huge sticker that you can peel and stick on any flat surface! (Similar to the Fat Heads stickers you’ve seen on TV). These stickers won’t damage your paint or wallpaper and are repositionable. In addition, these use the same high-quality printing that OnlinePosterPrinting.com uses for their poster prints, so you can print photos, artwork or patterns in great detail.

TWO Busy Mom readers will receive a free 24″x24″ Wall Sticker with the image of their choice from OnlinePosterPrinting.com.

I’m excited about this giveaway because I’m working on decorating my boys’ bedroom with spaceships and space images. I’d love to have a large wall sticker with one of our favorite space shuttle photos! Actually I’m kind of torn…the selfish mommy in me thinks it might be nice to have a relaxing beach or mountain photo in my own bedroom/office!

To enter this giveaway, let me know how you think you might use a giant custom wall sticker. I’ll pick two winners at random on 9/15/09. As usual, you can subscribe (and activate) the Busy Mom newsletter or tweet or blog about this giveaway for extra entries.

Contest open to US residents only. Winner will be responsible for shipping charges. Entries must be received by 6 p.m. EST on 9/15/09. Good luck!
