A few weeks ago I wrote about the lack of kid-friendly restaurants out there and how most high chairs are disgusting. I know that kids aren’t the neatest eaters in the world, especially Jude. And when I go out to eat I try to clean up after our messy toddler however I don’t carry around a bottle of 409 and a vacuum.
The Balboa Baby Shopping Cart and High Chair cover can save you a lot of worry about whether or not you child is being exposed to unsanitary conditions. Jude typically doesn’t like to sit in the high chair or shopping cart for very long but on our recent grocery shopping trip he stayed put the entire time. I think he felt a little more safe in the cart with the cover. Also, he didn’t mind the safety strap at all, usually he fusses when I put it on. Finally, he liked using the taut fabric as a drum.
Pros: The Balboa has some of the cutest designs in high chair covers that I’ve ever seen. I like that it offers 360 degrees of a germ free zone and has easy one-hand installation. I also like the toy loops so you can attach toys and not worry about them falling on the floor. Also, a lot safety straps in high chairs are broken but the Balboa cover has a wide safety strap to keep baby safe. Finally,it’s multifunctional and works with both shopping carts and high chairs.
Cons: I had a bit of trouble figuring it out the first time I used it but it’s actually not that complicated to use once you get the hang of it. It claims you can put it on with one hand but I have yet to master that skill. Also, It does take up a good bit of room in your diaper bag.
Recommend: While I don’t think shopping cart covers are an essential baby item it does give me peace of mind when shopping and dining out. Additionally, Jude really liked sitting in it and it looks a lot more comfortable too. I think if you plan on buying a shopping cart/high chair cover you should most certainly buy a Balboa Baby.
Give Back: Balboa Baby supports La Leche League International, First Candle, K.I.D.S and Orangewood’s Children Foundation.

Now take that awesomeness and combine it with some of the greatest musicians of our time and you get an album that will completely blow your mind. Some of particular favorite collaborations are Dear…
Candy, Candy, Candy. That’s what I think of when someone says “trick-or-treat”. I hate passing out so much candy at Halloween but I also don’t want to be known as the house that passes out raisins (although my kids would love that!). Well, now I can omit candy and still be the cool house by…
Fortunately, Jude hasn’t encountered too many diaper rashes and the ones he’s had haven’t been too bad. I’ve learned from experience that keeping baby’s bottom dry is the firs step in preventing diaper rashes. That means changing dirty diapers ASAP and making sure baby’s bottom is dry before putting on a clean diaper. One of…
Jude isn’t a super skinny kid but he also isn’t a chunk. He’s 2 years old and should rightly wear a size 2T. In fact, when he is wearing a cloth diaper his 2T pants fit pretty well. But if he’s wearing a disposable they just fall to the ground. We are about to start…
I’m a sucker for fried mozzerella but we don’t go out to eat often and I’ve never tried to fry anything at home. But when I learned about Farm Rich’s Cheese Sticks I was in love. To be honest I was a little skeptical at first, how good could frozen cheese sticks be? Well as…
I love personalized artwork. But even more so I like promoting talented artists. And while one may think I’m a little partial to the work of Stephanie from The Vintage Canvas, I know talent when I see it. (See my brother is married to her sister… so I guess that means something.) If you have…
