Welcome to the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat Giveaway

What is the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat?

The mifold car booster seat is the smallest, safe car booster seat that fits children 4-12 years old and is small enough to fit in your diaper bag, backpack or glove box. It makes fitting 3 safe seats in a row much easier and comes in multiple colors.

Setting the mifold up is very easy and has 3 width settings. It is comfortable with foam padding technology for extra comfort that stays cool, even on hot days. You’ll love the materials they use also, strong metal chassis of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum (as strong as steel) and Dupont™ Delrin® 100ST a super tough plastic polymer for superior impact resistance.

Buy the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat

Available at mifold.com, Amazon and other retailers.

Wait…..Guess what’s new?

Have you heard that mifold has a new product called the hifold Grab-and-Go Highback Car Booster? It also folds down small enough to fit in a carry bag. It is just as safe and the height, lap, shoulder width and head rest can easily be adjusted as your child grows.

The hifold will be great for ride shares and carpools just like the mifold. This small, easy-to-carry design makes switching the car seat back and forth between vehicles so quick and easy.

I love that you can get carry bags for the mifold and hifold so if you need to head out of town, carrying the booster seats will be so easy!

How has summer been going? Have you heard the word ‘Fortnite’ a thousand times yet? Recently I caught myself listening to a YouTube gamer Anthony likes, Preston Plays (TBNR frags). I see that in one of his videos he had his Mom learning about the game and it gave Anthony the idea of creating a video any Mom can watch and help answer your burning question, What is Fortnite?

Here is the video below. I recently did a post on our Fortnite birthday party, so stop over for some party ideas after you watch his video.

On the video, feel free to comment or ask questions and Anthony will answer them for you.

mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat Is Making Carpooling Easier

March 22, 2018March 27, 2018 Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Brilliant PR for this mifold feature

mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat Is Making Carpooling Easier. How? It is very portable. It adjusts for child’s size in seconds and fits most seats and belt systems to safely hold onto your child as you drive! Let’s explore more…

Anthony is almost 10 and not in a car booster seat anymore but as you can see him holding it the size is very convenient. Despite how small it is you get an approved seat by the standards. For ages 4 and older and 40-100 pounds you can fit this booster in a bag. Just see my video below….

The long strap clips onto the should belt at your child’s shoulder height for proper restraint. It is so easy and works with your cars lap belt. It comes in many fun colors too. Now you can just unbuckle your child, fold and hand off to the grandparents or daycare for carpooling needs when in their care. Even airplane and rental car travel becomes easier. It makes our travel lives so much easier without sacrificing safety!

As your child grows you simply adjust the width. The padding is comfortable and it is just enough lift to give them that window view for their entertainment. You can find these on Amazon and at Target stores nationwide! Learn more at mifold.com Available at Target!

New Babysitter Tips and Printable Checklists #MommyMustHaves

February 8, 2018February 17, 2020 Erin Sluka

I have been compensated by JOHNSONS® Baby for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.

I was always fortunate to live across town from family with our son. With my 2 older bonus boys we can just rearrange custody days so we could send them to Mom’s if we had plans and she can do the same with us. Even though family would take the boys at various times, it was always nice to hand them tips and necessities.

Our youngest is 9 and has always been very habitual (like my husband). For instance, if he was in need of a bath the night we are out he would expect his same bubbles and shampoo. I always use JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo and eventually began using their BEDTIME® Lavender wash. He loves the bath washes that smell good and this one is so relaxing.

He also has other habits like reading in his book and being allowed some video game time leading up to bed. These are all nice to note for a babysitter so they can keep the routine as normal as possible for the kids. Having these babysitter tips handy helps the kids moods and excitement levels and that helps the sitter as well.

Babysitter Tips Main Checklist

This is the stationary checklist you can keep up and only need to replace if major contacts, medical information or routines change.

Download the Babysitter Checklists

Use this checklist below every time you leave the kids with a babysitter. This checklist has that day’s notes and meal plans for the babysitter

Another handy thing to leave out for a sitter is a ‘babysitter emergency box’. Kids get bumps and small cuts, they get messy and even get fevers and bugs. A sitter is not going to be familiar with where you keep all of your essentials, so having a basket with main essentials out is always a good idea. Even if I send our son to family to stay, I put these items in a large ziploc in his suitcase because relatives may not have these children essentials in their homes if he needs them. What do I keep in mine?

Infant/Children’s Tylenol
JOHNSON’S® Band-aids
Cleaning Wipes
Cotton Swabs
Ointments
Benadryl

Then I also double check that his shampoos/washes are available near the bath and his oral care products are ready by the sink. Or if he is being watched out of the home, those go into a large ziploc as well and sent in his suitcase.

With brands like JOHNSON’S® Baby available at Walmart they are trusted to be easily found and available for many more generations to come. Having a habitual child means using brands you know you can consistently buy and have available for them at bed, bath and routine times.

Do you have a routine for your babysitter to follow?
