The purpose of the Bumbo Baby Seat is to provide a safe place for an infant to be able to be in a sitting position without the use of safety straps, harnesses or other restraints.

Pros: The Bumbo Baby Seat is constructed of a very light weight, low-density foam. The material is non-toxic and safe. It is suitable to use with babies as young as 3 months and useful up until a baby is about 14 months of age depending upon his or her physical development.

The unique design of the Bumbo Baby Seat allows a very young infant, who is not yet proficient at sitting alone, to be placed in an upright position so that they can get another view the world and easily look around. 

Parents can choose a color that suits them. There are five color choices available. 

Cons: There are no cons for the Bumbo Baby Seat. It is lightweight, easy to use and safe.

Guarantee: Most items can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund provided they are in their original packaging and have not been used.

The purpose of the Transitions Highchair, as with all highchairs, is to seat a baby in a confined seat that is elevated sufficiently to provide the parent or other care giver ease when feeding the child.

Pros: The Transitions Highchair is an excellent choice for parents to make when choosing a highchair for their infant who is about six months old. The transitions highchair is designed to accommodate a child who weighs about 40 pounds.

The Transitions Highchair features: Five-point safety harness, Three-position seat recline, dishwasher-safe insert tray; removable, adjustable main tray, bottle/cup holders in tray. It converts to toddler table and chair. The chair removes from base with an easy push button; the base converts to table, pencil tray and book.  There is support on the toddler table. It has removable, washable seat padding. The Transition Highchair is very easy to use and exceptionally easy to clean.

Cons: There are no real cons for the Transitions Highchair except that the color choices may make it hard to fit in with some decors.

Guarantee: Gift wrapping and shipping charges are only refunded if the BabyCenter Store made a mistake on an order. All other charges are completely refundable within 30 days of a purchase. The BabyCenter Store guarantees each customer’s complete satisfaction with every item that is purchased from them.

The purpose of the Maternity Card is to help defray the expenses of having a baby.

Pros: Those who are eligible for the Maternity Card are women who may become pregnant as well as those who are already pregnant.

For those who have no maternity insurance at all, the Maternity Card pays for Doctor Visits, Hospital Stays, Lab Work, Sonograms, 24 Hour Counseling, 24 Hour Nurse Hotline, Anesthesiologist, Pre Natal Vitamins, Newborn Tests and checkups, Immunizations and Prescription Drugs. The Maternity Card automatically expands to include the newborn infant.

Companies, even large International companies, sometimes exclude maternity coverage in their insurance benefits packages. Women need to check with their employers or their spouse’s employers to find out if they do, in fact, have maternity coverage. For those who already have maternity coverage that coverage will be the best option for them.

Cons: The Maternity Card only pays doctors and hospitals that are in their ‘network.’ The guarantee only provides that consumers will ‘break even’. For those who have maternity coverage through their hospitalization coverage, the Maternity Card will not be of value.

Guarantee: The Maternity Card by Affordable Healthcare Options (AHCO) guarantees that those who enroll will save more in a twelve month period than the cost of membership in the plan, or they will refund the difference plus $200.

Value for money: Since there is no way of determining what the cost of Maternity Card will be for each individual, there is no way to determine what the value of it is. However, with the excellent guarantee, a person will at the least break even.

When parents are shopping, it is difficult to shop with one hand and hold an infant with the other. The purpose of the Cosmo DX Stroller is to provide a safe way to transport an infant when the mother or other care giver needs both hands free.

Pros: The Cosmo DX Stroller weighs only 13 pounds so it is light weight enough for even small women to carry. It can be opened with only one hand and it has a handle, making it easy to carry.

The seat reclines so the Cosmo DX Stroller can be used even with very young infants who cannot yet sit alone.

Cons: Because the Cosmo DX Stroller can be folded for transport, it is rather short when it is open and in use. Women who are taller that 5′5″ might find the stroller difficult to use because they will have to bend over so far to tend to the infant. Taller women may well find themselves accidentally kicking the wheels as they push the stroller.

Guarantee: There is a 100% guarantee of satisfaction on all products sold at the BabyCenter. All merchandise can be returned within 30 days of the purchase is the customer is dissatisfied for any reason or no reason at all. The only charges that are not automatically refunded are shipping and gift wrapping charges. Even these charges are refundable, however, if BabyCenter made a mistake on the order.

Value for money: The Cosmo DX Stroller is a good value for the money. It is very lightweight and easily unfolded for use.

The purpose of the Comfy Duck Bath Center is to provide a safe way to give small infants a sponge bath.

Pros: There aren’t many things in this world that are more slick and/or hard to hold onto than a wet infant. The Comfy Duck Bath Center makes the task of bathing a small infant much easier…not to mention safer and less stressful for the new mother.

The Comfy Duck Bath Center features a mesh sling that securely holds the infant, leaving the mother’s hands free to wash him. There is a rinse pitcher included as well as a built in tray to hold bath essentials.

Additionally there is a built in temperature strip so that it is easy to be certain that the water temperature is neither too warm nor too cold for the comfort of the infant.

Cons: There really aren’t any particular cons for the Comfy Duck Bath Center except that the baby will outgrow it in pretty short order. But then, babies outgrow everything in pretty short order.

Guarantee: Products sold on the Baby-Wise website are guaranteed. Those who purchase from this website can be assured that a product that is purchased can be returned within 30 days of the purchase for a full refund. However, gift wrapping and shipping charges are only refunded when the problem with the product is the fault of Baby-Wise.

Value for money: The value of the Comfy Duck Bath Center is very good. It provides a safe way to give small infants sponge baths.  The price is very reasonable.

The purpose of the Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat as with all infant and toddler car seats is to provide protection for the child while they are in a car.

Pros: The construction of this car seat is excellent. It is larger than many other car seats that I have seen but that’s actually a good thing because it provides more protection for the child. The fact that it is so stylish and so fit for a little princess doesn’t hurt…and it is so stylish!

The Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat in Tiffany grows as the little girl grows and will accommodate her from 5 - 65 lbs and 19 - 49 inches tall.

Cons: Denim is one of the fabrics that are used in the construction of the Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat. Denim is 100% cotton. This means that it will fade over time. This fading will occur because of exposure to sunlight, washing and aging. It is normal and does not constitute a defect. The Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat is larger than many other car seats.

Guarantee: Most all of the products sold on the Baby Universe website are guaranteed by the manufacturers of the products. This includes the Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat. 

Value for money: There is no way to place a value upon the life of a child. The Britax Decathlon Latch Car Seat provides safety for infants and toddlers when they are in a moving vehicle. This product is adjustable as the child ages, making it is an excellent value for the money.

The “Emily Convertible Crib” is for the purpose of providing a safe and secure place for a baby to sleep. Because it converts into a youth bed as well as into a single bed, the life of the product is more than that of just a regular baby crib.

Pros: The Emily Convertible Crib comes in a choice of 20 different finishes that will match any decor. Additionally there are other matching pieces of nursery furniture so that an entire nursery can be furnished.

We all know how fast a little baby turns into a toddler and then into a ‘big kid’ who thinks they are just too grown up to sleep in a crib. This crib easily converts into a youth bed and then, before you know it or are ready for it, into a single bed.

The furniture is all well constructed and designed to withstand the abuse that a growing child can inflict upon it and still look great. 

Cons: There are no discernible cons for this product.

Guarantee: There is a 30-day guarantee that the customer will be satisfied with the product. If the customer is dissatisfied for any reason the product can be returned for either an exchange or a full refund.

Value for money: This crib is priced on other websites for about $180 more than it is at the Nursery Depot. This makes it an exceptional value and the fact that the crib converts easily to a youth bed and then to a single bed add a great deal of value to the product.
