*I received complimentary cookware for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

ProCook is a family owned company specializing in cookware and kitchenware. They offer the finest quality cookware, bakeware, cutlery, bakeware, dinnerware, flatware and stemware along with a large selection of cooking tools and kitchen essentials. They are positive that you will not be disappointed and you'll be amazed by their incredible value prices! All their products are exclusively designed and manufactured for ProCook from cast iron casseroles and non-stick, anodized, tri-ply or stainless steel cookware to knife blocks and kitchen accessories, and they support all their purchases by an extensive guarantee.

ProCook generously sent me an assortment of their bakeware to try out and review! I love to bake and when you combine baking with top notch bakeware you have yourself a beautiful match! I was so excited to have the opportunity to choose what I thought I would use the most and I was looking forward to getting some new bakeware in my kitchen. I choose their Biscuit Maker, three of their Loose Bottom Cake Tins, their Spoonula, and their Silicone Muffin/Cupcake Molds. When the baking goodies arrived I was so excited to feel and test out the quality! I couldn't wait to get baking.


The Biscuit Maker is designed to make it easy to place cookies and biscuits on your baking tin. Simply insert your dough inside of the Biscuit Maker and use the lever to push out cookies or biscuits. The Biscuit Maker comes equipped with 20 shaped discs and 4 nozzles for decorative effects giving you the opportunity to not only make tasty treats, but to make fun treats! Now, the Biscuit Maker is 100% affordable at only $11 (yep, that's right, $11!) and for such an affordable price, it is extremely well made. The Biscuit Maker is made from Cast Aluminum making it high quality and durable. I love that it is easy to use and makes your cookies (or biscuits) into fun creative shapes and designs. Baby A is to small now to appreciate his food in fun shapes, but I know that within a few months this will be one piece of bakeware that he will appreciate mommy using!


One of my favorite new pieces of bakeware are the Silicone Muffin Cupcake/Molds! They are flexible and easy to use, making my muffins and cupcakes fun and decorative in addition to being delicious!   The Silicone Muffin/Cupcake Molds meet stringent commercial and professional standards and cool quickly after withstanding high oven temperatures so you don't have to wait long to enjoy your goodies! The Silicone Muffin/Cupcake Molds are sturdy and durable so you can line them up side by side on a baking tin to allow more muffins or cupcakes cooking at a time. You can purchase your Silicone Muffin/Cupcake Molds in regular muffin sizes or mini.


My absolute favorite item that I received is the ProCook Spoonula. I have been on the hunt for a long time for a silicone utensil that Mr. Hunky can use for his eggs in the morning. There is nothing more irritating than trying to get egg off of a plastic spatula and I was growing more frustrated each morning! The Spoonula is a "spoon" shaped spatula that can be used in many ways whether you're using it to cook with or if you're scraping mixes off the sides of the the bowl. Regardless of your cooking or baking task, the Spoonula will make it easy. It can be used on delicate, non-stick surfaces and on hot pans up to 500 degrees. We have been using our Spoonula daily and I honestly think if you don't already have one in your kitchen,  you're missing out! 


I also received three Loose Bottom Cake/Brownie Pans which allow you to remove your cake from the tin with ease. They are non-stick bakeware that offer no fuss baking and are constructed from carbon steel bonded with the ProCook Ultra BK non-stick coating for even heat conduction. The Loose Bottom Cake/Brownie Pans are perfect for making birthday or holiday cakes, making brownies that will need to be served, or even for making breads! I was so excited to test out the cake pan that I made a one layer fruit basket cake for Mr. Hunky and I to enjoy and it came out perfectly! None of the cake stuck to the pan and for the first time ever getting the cake out and ready to frost was a breeze. ProCook is so confident in their these Loose Bottom Cake/Brownie Pans that each comes with a 10 year guarantee!


I am absolutely in love with my new bakeware from ProCook and can confidently say that I've found my new go-to website for when I'm in need of new cooking and baking supplies. Not only is ProCook affordable and full of good deals but they back their quality items with an amazing guarantee and you're sure to find everything you would need/want to get on your way to being that master chef you've always wanted to be!

MCO's Birthday Bash: Saranoni Adult Throw Review & Giveaway

We're celebrating MCO's first blog-birthday with MCO's Birthday Bash are so glad that you could join us for this event! If you've missed the giveaways up until now, be sure to click on the photo below to enter to win some amazing prizes from Strollers to Cookware!

*I received a complimentary Adult Throw for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

MCO's Birthday Bash is continuing their celebration with an amazing giveaway for an Adult Throw by Saranoni!


*I received a complimentary adult throw for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

Saranoni is a luxury blanket company started in 2006 with a passion for creating things people will love.  They believe the first thing a child will see, hold and touch should be special so they created blankets in different sizes, textures, colors and patterns. The sizes of their blankets vary from the mini blanket (15x20) which is great for newborns to the adult throw (60x80) that can wrap around an entire family for a perfect for evening cuddling! With its warmth, Saranoni seeks to provide snuggle-worthy blankets for all. Saranoni also offers burp cloths, bibs, accessories, gifts and more!

Saranoni generously allowed me to choose which adult throw I like the best for review! There are four different styles of adult throws; the Bamboni, the Lush/Lush, the Swirl/Lush, and the Wave and Wild. I chose the Swirl/Lush in the Teal Swirl/Charcoal Lush because I knew it would look amazing with my charcoal gray couch! I'll be honest. I had heard of Saranoni blankets before and I always heard nothing but amazing things about them, but I could never understand (here's where I'm a little brutally honest) why anyone would spend over $100 on a blanket. I mean c'mon, it's just a blanket. No. Wrong. Very Wrong. It's not just a blanket, it's a little slice of heaven that you can wrap around your body in pure cuddle contentment. Even my mother, one of the most frugal women I know, fell in love and said that she now understood what the fuss was about. Read on my friends, I guarantee by the end of this review you'll understand what the fuss is about too.


When your Saranoni blanket arrives, it is folded perfectly and wrapped with a Saranoni ribbon to keep it in place. The way the blanket is presented makes it perfect to pass along as a gift, but trust me, you won't want to. 


It's going to be hard to explain just how soft the Swirl/Lush Saranoni Adult Throw is, but I want you to imagine the softest thing you have ever felt in your life and multiply it by 10. That's how soft this blanket is. The Swirl/Lush blanket features three amazing textures that are sure to please your senses! One side has rich swirls (teal) while the other side has a lush fabric (charcoal), and both fabrics are framed by a two inch boarder framed by ultra soft fabric similar to the lush. Although you can cuddle either side, I prefer to cuddle with the lush (charcoal) side and often find myself "petting" the swirl. I'm in love with this blanket and I never thought I could say that about a blanket of all things!


Saranoni adult throw's are HUGE, measuring 60 by 80 inches. My favorite part of the blanket (aside form it's softness of course) is that the blanket weighs 5 pounds. The weight of the blanket almost insures that you will fall asleep, and if the weight doesn't put you to sleep, the softness and coziness sure will!



I absolutely adore my Saranoni adult throw and I use it daily. I keep it on the couch and cuddle with it in the morning, afternoon, and at night! Even on hot days I find myself cuddling up to the blanket, it's my new comfort! This is going to sound silly but sleep with an extra blanket up by my face every night and although I can sleep just fine without it, I choose not to! Now that I've discovered how amazing Saranoni is, I am putting their blankets on my wish list for every birthday and christmas gift! My birthday is coming up here in just a few weeks and I've hinted to Mr. Hunky that I'd like to replace my night time cuddle blanket with a Saranoni throw! I'm hoping he takes that hint! 


I highly recommend that you invest in a Saranoni throw for yourself and for your children, I guarantee it will be the only blanket you and your family use. They're really that amazing. Trust me! This is a must have blanket.



To Purchase: Visit the Saranoni website and pick yours up for $120.00! There are so many color combinations to choose from that you will be wanting to match a blanket with every couch, chair, or bedding you own!

To Win: Mommys Craft Obsession and Saranoni are giving away your choice of Adult Throw! Choose from any of the Adult Throws in any color combination! Enter the Rafflecopter below, all entries are optional with exception of your address and color choice, which is necessary for product shipment if you are the winner.



Congrats to Robyn Rasmussen Galloway!

The Giveaway will close late on the evening of June 13th. The winner will be chosen at random through Rafflecopter which uses Random.org. The winner will be announced both on Rafflecopter as well as MCO’s Facebook. The winner will have their prize sent to them by Saranoni.

MCO's Birthday Bash: Dropcam Review & Giveaway

We're celebrating MCO's first blog-birthday with MCO's Birthday Bash are so glad that you could join us for this event! If you've missed the giveaways up until now, be sure to click on the photo below to enter to win some amazing prizes from Strollers to Cookware!

Click on the image below to be redirected to a list of open giveaways.


MCO's Birthday Bash is continuing our celebration with an amazing giveaway for a Dropcam HD! 



*I received a complimentary Dropcam for review in exchange of my honest thoughts and opinions*

Photo Credits: Dropcam



Dropcam was developed by co-founders Greg Duffy and Aamir Virani after Greg's father desperately wanted to figure out which local dog was making a mess of his yard. He began hooking up IP camera's but was having trouble getting the system to work just right and that storing video on his hard drive wasn't an easy or secure solution. Greg was immediately interested in solving his dads dilemma and called his friend Aamir to talk through the problem. They began throwing around the idea around soon connected with tech pioneer Mitch Kapor who decided to fun the initial development which resulted in the launch of Dropcam in 2009. Now Dropcam is widely used around the country to "drop in" on their babies, pets, and even to catch unsuspecting thieves. 

Dropcam generously sent me one of their Dropcam HD video monitors for review and I have to admit I was pretty excited to receive it. I know a handful of people who own Dropcams and they always rant and rave about them and how easy to use they are, so needless to say I was jumping with joy when the box arrived on my doorstep! When I opened the box I was pleased to see that the set up didn't appear to be to complicated, so I took everything out of the box, laid it in front of me, and picked up the instructions. The monitor comes with everything you need to get your Dropcam up and running including the USB cord, wall charger, and even a wall mount! I was pretty excited to plug it in and get my new Dropcam set up.


I was doing a happy dance when I saw that the instructions were the easiest I have ever seen for an electronic device, let alone a video monitor. Simply attach the USB cord to your Dropcam and your computer and let Dropcam's software do the rest. You'll need to push a few buttons such as "next" and "accept", but I kid you not, you'll be finished setting up your monitor within a minute. The Dropcam is a high definition Wi-Fi camera so it runs directly off of your home Wi-Fi, right to your phone or computer. I have an iPhone so I downloaded Dropcam's app and through the app I am able to do everything such as turn the camera on and off, listen to what is going on in my home, and even talk through the Dropcam! 



Some of the fantastic features that Dropcam offers are:
As from the Dropcam Website
  • Quick Setup
  • HD Video Quality
  • Secure SSL Encryption
  • Easy Turn On and Turn Off Based on Your Location 
  • Digital Zoom
  • Activity Alerts
  • Exclusive Mobile App
  • Two Way Audio
  • Night Vision
  • DVR
  • & More!

I chose to set up our Dropcam as a home security camera that is in our front room. Majority of the time I have it facing the front door so I can keep an eye on things from another room or while I am away from my home. What I absolutely love about the monitor is if I leave my house, I don't have to do any configuration changes to use the monitor, instead it automatically allows me to see what is going on while I'm away, and there is even audio! Mr. Hunky and I utilize the Dropcam quite frequently while we are out running errands or in the city. I love that I can check in on my dogs to make sure that Mrs. Bow Jangles isn't on the chair, and Little L isn't getting into trouble. Below are two screenshots that I took through the Dropcam software, the image on the left is through my computer, using the night vision of the Dropcam to spy on Little L (she's the blob by the door), and the image on the right is with the lights on through my iPhone's app. I am extremely happy with the visual quality of the Dropcam, even through the night vision I can clearly see what objects are and any movement that happens in the room. My only request is for Dropcam to add a feature that would allow me to move the camera from the app so that I could scan the room that it is in!


The Dropcam is a fantastic video monitor that will allow you to have peace of mind while you are away from your home, and "allow you to drop in on what you love". My Dropcam gets used daily whether it's to keep an eye on my home while I'm away, keep an eye on Baby A as he's playing, or to spy on the dogs! I've even seen a Dropcam "out in the wild" at the mall! 



To Purchase: Visit Dropcam's website and pick yours up for $149! This is a baby gear must have!

To Win: Mommys Craft Obsession and Dropcam are giving away a Dropcam HD! Enter the Rafflecopter below, all entries are optional with exception of your address, which is necessary for product shipment if you are the winner.

MCO's Birthday Bash is continuing our celebration with an amazing giveaway for an Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker by Nostaglia Electrics!



*I received a complimentary ice cream maker for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

Nostalgia Electrics Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker combines the fun experience of making homemade ice cream with modern convenience. The Ice Cream Maker is super simple to use, just place the aluminum canister filled with your ingredients into the center of the bucket, then fill the wood bucket with ice and let it's electric motor do the churning for you! Make 4 quarts of delicious ice cream per batch. The Ice Cream Maker even includes some tasty recipes in their manual that are easy to make! This Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker is perfect to bring out at parties or just to enjoy on a hot summer day! Plus lets be real, what's better than homemade ice cream?!


Nostalgia Electrics generously sent me their Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker for review and I was looking forward to receiving it! I knew it would be perfect to use during the hot summer we are about to endure! I have only had homemade ice cream once, when I was about 7 years old, and I remember it being absolutely amazing. I was excited to have the opportunity to test out an ice cream maker of my own! When the Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker arrived I was surprised at how large the box was! I opened it immediately to check things out and I couldn't believe how big the ice cream maker was! Taking everything out of the box I knew that the ice cream maker would last a long time, everything felt durable and high quality. 


When I geared up to make our homemade ice cream I had no idea what a process it would be! From grabbing ingredients at the store to completing each step, the entire thing took several hours but the end result was worth it! The Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker includes an instruction manual equipped with step by step instructions as well as a handful of yummy ice cream recipes that I am eager to try out such as Coffee and Chocolate! For my first test drive with the ice cream maker I decided to play it safe and stick with good ol' fashioned vanilla. It seemed easy (and I like easy when I have no idea what I'm doing). 


After a long fun filled few hours of ice cream making I had rich creamy ice cream to enjoy with Baby A! Typically I don't let my little man eat ice cream but I figured after all of my hard work, he might as well be rewarded! I couldn't wait to see his face when he tasted it. When I tasted it I couldn't believe how A-MAZ-ING it was! Like I said, I hadn't had homemade ice cream since I was a little girl so having it again was a real delight. The best part was that thanks to the Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker the 'hard part' (the constant churning) was taken care of!


I decided to spice things up a bit and turn our delicious ice cream into a fun ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce and fun springtime sprinkles. It was amazing and Baby A absolutely LOVED it!


I give the Vintage Collection Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker an A+ in the categories of fun, ease, quality, and durability! If you're looking for a fun adventure leading to a tasty treat this summer pick up one of Nostalgia Electrics ice cream makers and stay cool in a fun new way!

To Purchase: Visit Nostalgia Electrics to find a list of major retailers that are closest to you! The Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker can also be purchased on Amazon!

MCO's Birthday Bash: Britax B-Agile Review & Giveaway


We're celebrating MCO's first blog-birthday with MCO's Birthday Bash are so glad that you could join us for this event! If you've missed the giveaways up until now, be sure to click on the photo below to enter to win some amazing prizes from Strollers to Cookware!

MCO's Birthday Bash is continuing our celebration with a must-have Britax B-Agile Stroller! 


*I received a B-Agile Stroller for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*


Photo Credits: Britax

Britax has been a leader in mobile safety for more than 70 years and is what I feel safe to say- a known household baby gear name. With a legacy of leadership in developing innovations that enhance safety and improve the ease of installation and use, Britax makes a commitment in improving that is unparalleled and is evidenced by the fact that their products undergo rigorous testing within five Britax testing facilities worldwide. They work closely with vehicle manufacturers to encourage design improvements and enhance the performance of their car seats. While Britax specializes in car seats, they also offer high quality strollers that incorporate safety, style, easy to clean fabrics, durability, and longevity in each one. Their strollers also can be used with Britax car seats (and other major car seat brands) to transform into travel systems for your convenience. 


Britax generously sent me their B-Agile stroller to try out and review for you today! I have always admired Britax products and have been lusting over them since Baby A was a newborn. I live in a small town and until recently I never had the opportunity to go test drive strollers, so when the Britax B-Agile showed up on my doorstep, I was jumping with joy and I couldn't wait to get it set up so I could put it in action. When the B-Agile arrived I was surprised to see that the box wasn't to big, if I had picked it up from the store I would have easily been able to have gotten it into the trunk of my Honda Accord. When I took the stroller out of the box, the strollers frame and seat were already put together so all I had to do was assemble the wheels and the canopy! Setting up the wheels and the canopy were extremely simple, just snap the wheels in, snap the canopy in and secure it's velcro, and you're done!


When I first took a look at the Britax B-Agile the word that came to mind was "sporty". It has three wheels rather than four and the front wheel can lock into place or you can leave it unlocked so that it swivels making it easy to turn and maneuver. The rear wheels offer an all wheel suspension that will provide a smooth ride even over the bumps in the road! I love how sleek this stroller is, and the best part is that the Britax B-Agile only weighs 16.5 pounds!


To open the stroller simply push on the ridged end of the unfold release latch and give a gentle wiggle. The stroller will pop right open and lock into place! 


The Britax B-Agile is a very roomy stroller with a seat back height of 20 inches, 25 inches from seat to the top of the canopy, and is 14 inches wide. The B-Agile has a nonadjustable leg rest that is 10 inches from the seat to the foot rest. Although the leg rest is not adjustable, Baby A is extremely comfortable in the seat of the B-Agile and visibly has room to grow. What I love about the B-Agile is that it holds baby's from birth (stay tuned for info about how to convert the B-Agile into a travel system) to 55 pounds, which means that this stroller can hold your little ones way past their "toddlerhood". 


The B-Agile features a 5 point harness that can be adjusted at the waist and at the shoulders to accommodate your growing child. To release the harness you simply push the button with the Britax name and the buckles will pop right out. What I love is that the button is hard enough that your kids won't be able to unbuckle themselves once they get a little older, but us moms can still get our kids out of the seat in a jiffy. The B-Agile also has the harness padding sewn directly into the seat keeping it in place which I personally think is a great feature!!! I would love to see more car seats and strollers offer the padding sewn directly into the seat, there's nothing more frustrating than trying to secure your child in and realizing the buckle is buried beneath the seat. Thank you Britax for making our lives a little easier!


Lets talk about my favorite feature. It's a feature that I didn't think I would ever really care about having, but now that I've experienced it, I swear by it. The No Re-Thread Harness. Wait, did you hear that? I think Angels are singing. The no re-thread harness makes your life so much simpler! Rather than having to take your child out of the stroller, unhook the shoulder straps, re-thread them through the correct slots, reattach them to their anchor, and then put your child back into the stroller, you can now just squeeze two buttons together and slide the harness up or down! I'm not lying people, Britax makes life so simple!!! The harness's button is zipped into the back of the stroller so what you need to do to adjust it is unzip, push the two buttons inward on the harness adjuster and slide up or down to the point where it is comfortable and safe for your little passenger. 


Now that you know my favorite feature of the B-Agile, it's time to learn my second favorite feature! I absolutely adore the recline on this stroller, it almost lays completely flat for your child! When Baby A and I are out and about and he starts to get cranky, all I have to do is fully recline the seat and within a matter of minutes he is asleep. To recline the stroller there is a strap recline that allows you to easily recline the stroller (one handed I might add!) and it will stop reclining anytime you stop pulling on the recline strap, allowing you to recline your child into whatever amount of recline they are most comfortable with. To put your child back into the seated position you will want to hold a strap in each hand and gently pull outward until the seat is back in its original position (or to the position you want it in). 


The B-Agile also includes two mesh windows that I think are fantastic additions to this stroller. There is a mesh recline window that is at the top of the baby's head so when they are laying down or asleep in the stroller, you can allow air to circulate through the stroller. This is a feature that I found so wonderful to have, we live in Arizona so the weather gets very hot and allowing air to flow in any way while Baby A is in the stroller gets bonus points in my book. I love that the mesh window is the entire top of the seat as well, not just a tiny portion of it! The stroller also has a mesh peekaboo window on top of the canopy as well which is not only wonderful for additional air circulation, but for us mommies to spy on our little ones as well! You never know when they may be asleep! The only thing I am not crazy about with the mesh peekaboo window is that it secures closed with velcro so it can be a little noisy at times but thankfully it is not a big deal if the little man is not asleep! Baby A finds it hysterical that I can peek in on him from the top of the stroller. Nothing melts my heart more than him looking up at me laughing. 


The front wheel of the stroller can be locked into place if you decide you would prefer for it not to swivel. To lock it into place all you do is push down on the wheel lock and make sure that the majority of the wheel is beneath the stroller. This will lock the wheel securely (you will hear a small click) and it will no longer swivel. I personally do not lock the wheel, I find the stroller much easier to maneuver and turn around corners when it swivels.  


One safety feature that every stroller has is a rear break system. As you already know, having a break system is extremely important to have in case of emergencies, to put your stroller into a secure parked position as you are transferring your little one from the stroller to the car, or if you just need put the breaks on! On the inside of each back wheel, there is a break pedal that you push down gently with your foot, either one can be pushed down, and it will lock into place. When you're ready to start strolling again just use your foot to push up on the break pedal and the break will click into the unlocked position. It's as simple as click and go!


As a bonus for us momma's, the B-Agile has a very roomy storage basket located directly beneath the strollers seat. You can put your bags in through the back of the stroller or by pulling down the mesh siding and sliding your bags in through the side. Storage baskets on strollers are often disappointing and hardly fit a thing, but the storage basket on the B-Agile is roomy enough to fit a small diaper bag or several shopping bags. It's also a great place to stash cuddle blankies and extra paci's when you don't want your little one to see them! 


I'm about 5'6" which I think is pretty average for a woman's height and the B-Agile "fits me" perfectly. The handle bar is not adjustable but it is comfortable enough for me at 5'6" to stroll along and it is comfortable for Mr. Hunky to push as well and he's approximately 5'11". The handle also features a comfortable padded grip making your shopping adventures and fun outings a little bit more enjoyable for mom and/or dad! 


I mentioned briefly above that the B-Agile can be used with newborns, but surely you wouldn't want to stick a newborn in the regular seat of the stroller! Conveniently the B-Agile can easily convert into a travel system simply by clicking in the two car seat adapters to the Click & Go adapter system! Once the car seat adapters are locked into place, the B-Agile is then convertible with their Chaperone and B-Safe infant car seats. 


When you're ready to store your stroller, you will be relieved to see that folding the B-Agile is a breeze. I'm talkin' so simple, you can do it even with a baby on your hip. Trust me, I've done it! There is a small gray button located on the side of the strollers frame that you push inward to lock it into place. Once the button is locked into place, there is a "pull to fold" strap located on the side of the seat that you will pull up on and the stroller will completely fold into one compact, lightweight, stroller that will fit comfortably no matter where you put it!


When the stroller is folded, it measures approximately 23 inches wide, 10 inches high, and 29 inches long. 


What I absolutely love is that the B-Agile fits compactly in the truck of my 2005 Honda Accord with room to spare. I can even fit a second stroller in there if for some reason I want/need options or have a friends little one with me! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love being able to utilize my trunk when I leave the grocery store and not have to worry about the stroller being in the trunk! 


One thing that the Britax B-Agile does not include is a bumper bar or child tray. Personally I feel that a child tray (or bumper bar) is one of the most important features of a stroller and one that I often look for when I am drooling over strollers at my local Buy Buy Baby. Unfortunately the B-Agile does not include a child tray nor does it include a bumper bar, but lucky for us we are able to purchase the child tray as an additional accessory, and the best part is that it's completely affordable at $24.99!


The child tray arrives in three pieces, the tray and the tray adapters. Putting the pieces together and attaching it to the stroller is easy and it only takes a few seconds to install! 

Step 1: Slide the adapters into the child tray
Step 2 & 3: Lock the adapters into place, you will hear a slight click
Step 4: Slide the child tray adapters into the strollers adapter system until it clicks fully into place

When you're ready to remove the child tray from the stroller push the rigid side of the gray button and pull up. 


Baby A loves the child tray! There's a place for his sippy cup, snacks, or a place to just hold on to while he sits forward! I highly recommend purchasing the child tray in addition to the B-Agile, it really is a fantastic addition.


When you fold up your B-Agile, you can easily leave the child tray on the stroller and put it into the trunk of your car, ready to go for the next time. I choose to take it off and put it back on each time but there is no reason why you can't leave it on!


I absolutely LOVE the Britax B-Agile and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high quality, durable, and affordable stroller. It pushes smoothly, breaks down quickly and easily, and is in my opinion one of the best strollers available on the market. The B-Agile has quickly became my favorite stroller and is the stroller that stays in the trunk of my car for when we need it! Do yourself a favor and pick one up for yourself, I know you'll fall in love with it just like I did!
