Line We Love: Carter's (Yep, That Carter's!)
Usually our Lines We Love are under-the-radar kid labels that are primarily stocked at indie shops or online, but when Carter's sent over their newest layette collection, we were reminded of our love for the classic kid line, especially when it comes to their supersoft, durable, easy to clean, and totally cute onesies.
We were all devoted to Carter's bodysuits when our babies were small (you know, that time when you can go through five or six onesies a day!) and have yet to find a brand that beats them. If you disagree, let us know in the comments section below; then check out some of the newest Carter's onesies, featuring on-trend poppy and mint tones for girls, navy and gray stripes and prints for boys, and lots of gender-neutral options, including our personal favorites, the adorable animal prints!
New Site Allows Parents to Decide.com Before They Buy
I'm the first one to admit that I'm a bargain shopper. It's great for my wallet, but not for my time-starved, working mother schedule. Spending endless hours comparison price shopping is the last thing I really have time for these days. So when I heard that Decide.com was expanding to the baby and kids realm, I was anxious to test it out.
The site not only provides purchase recommendations based on user reviews (all products receive a color coded and numerical rating from one to 100), but it uses proprietary price-predicting technology to determine if the price is likely to rise or fall in the next two weeks, so you won't feel burned when the high chair you purchase goes on sale the day after it ships to you. Playing around, I found it to be an easy way to make a decision about anything from high chairs and strollers to a set of Legos. The high chair I was looking at was ruled a "Buy before prices rise" while the stroller received a "Wait for prices to drop" mention (and it told me how much they should drop in the next two weeks). It made purchase decisions a cinch, freeing up my evenings for the first time in ages.
I kept looking for a catch, but couldn't fine one. The service is free for all "Decide Scores" as well as up to eight price predictions. After that, there's an annual $30 membership fee that gives you unlimited access to price predictions for the year. So tell us, would you pay for access to such a site?
