Tilty has a molded inner wall to help make drinking easier
If you saw my kids cup/dish cabinet you would laugh because it’s a serious illness with me. But when something I haven’t seen or tried before comes on the market I just can’t resist trying it out. In the name of science of course. So when I stumbled on Tilty cups a while ago I was really intrigued.
Tilty is basically a sippy cup that is designed to make drinking easier for the child. Typical sippy cups require that your baby tilt their head back to drink. Whereas the Tilty is designed with an extra inner wall to push the liquid forward so that they can drink from the cup without all that head tilting and neck bending. It may help transition them from sippy cup to grown up style cups easier since they don’t expect to have to do all tat head tilting.
The new versions of the Tilty have different lids/spouts including one for thicker liquids like yogurt or smoothies and a Travel Lid for storing liquids or snacks on the go. Tilty is not a spill proof sippy cup and not intended to be one so it’s not meant to be dragged all over the house. Which is why I like it… it gives kids a cup to use at the table so it encourages them to drink properly now and when they get older.
My Youngest was able to drink from a Tilty as early as 6 Months
Tilty’s are made with Polypropylene (#5) plastic and are of course BPA, Phthalate, and PVC free and is safe for the dishwasher. The cups are also dye-free (except the colored lids). My only peeve with this cup is the inability to neatly stack them in a cabinet but there are no valves or extra parts to wash – just the cup and the lid so that kind of makes up for it. Another bonus is that they’re affordable. Have you seen the prices of some sippy cups these days? Sheesh! Tilty’s come in a 2 Pack for less than $7. My 6 month old was able to use it and still does with much more ease than many sippy cups so I’ve given it a permanent spot in the cabinet.
Get It: You can pick up Tilty Cups and Lids from The Glass Baby Bottle!
Win It!
The Glass Baby Bottle is giving away a Clear 2-Pack of Tilty Cups AND 2-packs of the new lids to one lucky SafeMama reader!

Britax Marathon 70 Review & Giveaway
Filed Under Car Safety, Giveaways Coupons, Product Reviews | 459 Comments
I am always astounded and impressed with the level of safety and the constant strive to exceed safety standards that Britax exhibits as a car seat company. I was fortunate enough to have had the chance to tour the Britax facility this year and witness a crash test of the new Britax Marathon 70. Seeing it in real life, in real time, really resonates the importance of proper car seat usage and safety.
The new generations of Britax car seats feature some really amazing advancements in their basic car seat technology. The number one cause of injury for little kids in a crash is head trauma. This is always a main focus when the engineers at Britax develop car seats. Without getting too technical and wordy, here are a few of the new technologies that have been integrated into the new car seats:
Integrated Steel Bars: The new generation of Britax seats now features Integrated Steel Bars which can minimize the risk of your child being propelled forward and hitting the back of the vehicle seat in front of them. The Integrated Steel Bars provide a further solid connection to the car, reducing the forward movement that occurs during a crash
SafeCell Technology: SafeCell is a waffle-like component in the base of the seat that acts as a shock absorber. It compresses in a crash, lowering the center of gravity thus reducing the forward propelling motion that forces the child forward, minimizing the risk of injury.
Energy-absorbing Versa-Tether: I’d like to stress the importance of top tethering your car seats. It’s true that all Britax seats are crash tested and exceed NHTSA standards for non-tethered seats. But the differences are astounding to examine closer. The BRITAX energy-absorbing Versa-Tether is attached to two points at the top of the seat and attach to an anchor in your car in both rear and forward facing positions. The Versa-Tether helps anchor the seat to minimize the movement and slow down the motion of your child during a crash and also absorbs crash forces away from your child in the event of an accident. It also greatly reduces the forward movement of your child’s head in a crash, minimizing the risk of head injury. Bottom line, top tether!
These are of course additions to the seat on top of the already existing safety features such as the 5-Point harness and True Side Impact Protection present in all their car seats.
Mom Features I Love
Ok so it’s SAFE. Beyond safe. But what about day to day functionality? I’ve found that the seat itself looks really stylish (The sample I received had their crimson fabric) but now that the seat accommodates children forward facing up to 70lbs, it feels considerably roomier and very soft and comfortable. The 5 point harness operates easily and I know it’s secure and tight enough. I also love that they now made the shoulder strap pads removable with velcro. Thank you Britax!
The seat was very easy to install which is KEY because something like 80-90% of car seats are installed improperly. I very much appreciate that Britax has figured out ways to increase the weight capacity on their seats so that you can get the maximum life from your car seat without sacrificing safety.
What’s also a great Mom-feature is the ease of adjustment. You know how fast kids grow… and long gone are the days of re-threading your car seat straps to fit them properly. Now it’s as simple as moving the side-impact protection head rest via a grip handle behind the seat. Simply, lift, pull up and release. Done. That’s it. I have no patience to be smashed in the back seat wrestling a car seat. These seats are a cinch to install and adjust.
Britax Marathon 70 and how it fits rear-facing in a Honda Pilot
Britax Marathon 70 rear-faces up to 40lbs and a seated shoulder height of 9 - 16.75 inches (from rump to shoulder) - whichever comes first.
I’ve heard some rumblings about the new generation seats being a bit smaller than the older models that people love. However, Britax increased the rear facing weight max to 40lbs for the Marathon 70. I think this is where the size and shape of your child falls into play. Granted, my test subject is only 13 months old and doesn’t come close to the 40 lbs weight limit but there is a tremendous amount of space to fill before he is too big to fit rear facing. I’m a supporter of keeping a child rear facing as long as possible but I inevitably end up switching to forward facing by age 2 simply because my kids tend to be long and they get extremely uncomfortable with their legs all folded up. With any seat you consider buying, I’d definitely test the seat out first to make sure it is going to fit your car and your needs regarding rear-facing positioning if that is a selling point for you. I think it’s also important to remember that each child reaches the max height and weight requirements at different times in their life.
But don’t just take my word for it. The awesome guys at DadLabs did a really cool video that demonstrates the physics behind the design of the car seats:

Britax provided a seat for review but in no way does that affect my opinion of the seat. Car seats that have been reviewed are then donated to a local children’s charity. The Britax Blogger Advisory Board consists of select bloggers who routinely test and review juvenile products. Britax gives these board members previews of its new products or product ideas, in return for the bloggers’ candid assessments. The bloggers are not paid for their service, but are reimbursed for any travel expenses.

In my quest for anything non-plastic I learned about CaliBowls from The Soft Landing. I ordered some to try out in green and blue. I was bent on replacing the plastic Munchkin bowls we’d been using which had become a hassle. Since you can’t put hot food in plastic I’ve been using my regular glass bowls. This is fine generally but my son is 4 and when he eats things like cereal or rice, it gets all over the table.
Then I got my CaliBowls and the clouds parted. The sun shone through the trees and the heavens glowed. Ok not really but my mess occurrences decreased dramatically. Originally I thought they were just good looking ceramic bowls. But actually they are much more genius than that. They have an angled lip around the top of the bowl so food falls back in that would otherwise fall over the edge onto the table or your kid. They are also great for serving dips and salsas!
These are a great alternative to plastic… dishwasher and microwave safe and since they are ceramic there is no concern over BPP, PVC or Phthalates. I’d recommend them for slightly older children who are past flipping things upside down or on the floor (Let’s just say my 1 year old doesn’t get the privledge) or for adults. My husband uses them all the time for salsa or ice cream. Thumbs up!
Get Them: You can pick up these great bowls at The Soft Landing and they come in an olive green, light blue or dark red and come 2 in a set. A worthy investment! CaliBowl also makes a BPA, PVC and Phthalate free plastic suction bowl for the little ones.

Review: Broody Chick Natural Products
Filed Under Product Reviews, Skin Care | 2 Comments
I reviewed Broody Chick’s compostable diapers a while back and really loved them. They’re soft which has always been a peeve of mine with eco-friendly diapers. They’re kind of scratchy. Anyway, after loving her diapers I wanted to see what else she made and was so pleased to find out she had a line of bath care products! I was excited to check out the whole line. Broody Chick is a company based in Sidney, British Columbia. And the “chick” is a mother of 3 boys who was tired of looking for skin care without chemicals. So she made her own. Using local ingredients and selling from her family run cottage based business, Broody Chick continues to provide products to Canadian stores and online shops through their website.
Broody Chick carries a great range of bath products including a very gentle and mild Bath Bar and Every Body Wash, Every Body Lotion and baby care items like her awesome Boody Balm and Wonderbalm. I have been using her products for some time (this review is long overdue!) and really love the pure, clean and effective nature of them. Not to mention they are essentially chemical free.
I use the Every Body Wash on my 1 year old and I just love the way it makes him smell. It’s not heavily scented at all but it does have this really clean scent. The kind you was to keep sniffing later. It makes me want to snuggle up with him and take a nap. It works in a foaming pump so I can use it all over and as a baby shampoo too.
The Boody Balm is another favorite. It comes in a big jar and looks like frosting, and even applies creamy and smooth. It protects really well and doesn’t irritate my sons skin like some natural diaper creams can. I know some of you have had trouble with CA Baby being irritating. Boody Balm is also zinc free, so cloth diaper-ers will love it. I just really like the texture of this stuff… it’s very soothing. I’ve used it on myself too when I’ve gotten chaffing or irritation from workouts.
Broody Chick also makes a very nice Sniffs and Snuffles balm that has a light eucalyptus scent for those days when your young ones have a cold. Ditch the Vicks folks… this stuff is mild and safe.
Rating: I also want to mention that Broody Chicks products kind of deserve to be in the Top Picks of our 2010 Safer Skin Care Cheat Sheet. The only thing holding it in the Better Choices Section is the stearic acid which is only in the Boody Balm and the Every Body Lotion. Other than that one minor thing this line is essentially chemical free and I highly recommend it. All her products works and feel amazing and I use them on myself and my kids. Love.
GET THEM: You can purchase Broody Chick bath care products and her compostable diapers and wipes at a variety of online retailers. Check her website for online retailers and if you are in Canada (Hello Canadian readers!) you can find them at several Canadian stores.

Checking Out The New EIO Kids Cup (Giveaway)
Filed Under Food Safety, Product Reviews | 124 Comments
Lately I have really been into finding products that are less plastic and more centered on utilizing safer materials like stainless steel, bamboo, wood, ceramic and glass. I am on a glass kick lately and even bought my own glass water bottle which I have been loving (more on that later). So when the new EIO Kids Cup came out I was really interested in checking it out.
The awesome people behind The Glass Baby Bottle sent me an EIO Kids Cup to check out. I was really eager to check it out too because after looking at the “cup benefits” image they have, it looks a lot more complicated than it really is.
Essentially the cup is a glass 8 oz jar. But the great part is that it comes equipped with a 
silicone gripping sleeve that can come off for washing if need be. The cap screws on utilizing the threads of the jar to hold in place. The cap features an inward slant to create a spout effect. This isn’t a spill proof sippy cup, but more of a bigger kid training cup. Even though my son is old enough to use a regular cup, I still like to cap him at the table in case of accidents. You do need to be extra careful when screwing on the lid. If it’s not on perfectly, liquid leaks out from under the cap. But if it’s on nice and snug and level it works great.
There are no valve’s or hard to clean spaces so you can hand wash easily or run through the dishwasher in the top rack. It’s the perfect size for little hands and my son really liked having his own glass cup at dinner. I think it goes without saying that this cup is free of BPA, PVC and Phthalates and there is no risk of any kind of plastic leaching since it’s glass.
The cup comes in bright orange (the color my son chose), purple, and green and is pretty cute if you ask me!
Get It: You can purchase your own EIO Kids Cup at TheGlassBabyBottle.com!
Win It!

Review: Miessence Reflect Outdoor Balm
Filed Under Product Reviews, Skin Care | Comments Off
I’ve been trying to review more sunscreens that have made it on to our 2010 Sunscreen Cheat Sheet this year and this is one of them. There is a lot to choose from and even though we list only a handful – it’s still tricky to know which one is the best fit for you. For me it’s more or less on a scenario basis. I use one for the playground, one for the beach or pool and one on me vs the kids. So when I had the chance to check out the Miessence Reflect Outdoor Balm I was really psyched.
I’ll make a confession. When I first learned about Miessence I was really reluctant to trust them. When organizations set up their business so that people can resell it, I get weary about brainwashing and greenwashing. I felt similarly about Shaklee for that reason (and still kind of do – don’t crawl up my butt Shaklee people). But once I had a chance to really look at the ingredients and practices of Miessence my heart warmed for the entire product line and their products made their way to SafeMama approval.
ElyOrganics.com provided a sample of the Miessence Reflect Outdoor Balm for me to check out and I am so glad she did. Here’s what I think of it as a sunscreen.
It has an SPF marking of 15. But according to third party testing OneGroup (Miessence) submitted, gave it a rating of SPF level 29.5. Despite that I tested it on myself first to make sure it would provide adequate coverage and sun protection.
At first glance, the balm appears gray, which I’ll admit is a little off putting. But after everything I’ve learned when it comes to truly natural products is to not judge it by how it looks and rather, how it works and feels. So I slathered it on anyway and set out into the sun to see how my somewhat fair skin would do. Like natural sunscreens it does apply a little on the thicker side at first but does spread quite easy. You do get some of that “ghosting” that natural sunscreens give you but its not as prominent as other brands. In fact after about 30 minutes you couldn’t see it at all. So maybe there is something to the gray… less pale whiteness to deal with.
I wore it at the pool (apply every 2 hours as instructed) and came home with nary a burn mark on me. Success! This is a great choice in sunscreens and I really love the ingredients list which is mostly organic and natural. The sunscreening ingredient is zinc oxide which provide excellent broad spectrum protection.
Get It! You can purchase Miessence Reflect Outdoor Balm from ElyOrganics.com – Let her know SafeMama sent ya!

Review: Babo Botanicals Hair Care
Filed Under Product Reviews, Skin Care | 4 Comments
When I was working on the new edition of the SafeMama Skin Care Cheat Sheet for 2010 I came across several new brands that were worthy of the list. One of those was Babo Botanicals. They carry a full line of shampoo and skin care for babies and kids that is free of many of the ingredients we try to avoid such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, 1,4 dioxane, formaldehyde, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances and dyes and propylene glycol. What IS in Babo Botanicals is carefully selected plant and vegetable based ingredients and organic oils and extracts.
Babo Botanicals sent me samples of their entire line (which I was really grateful for!) and I was really impressed with the presentation. These would make awesome shower gifts. You can purchase gift sets and they come in cute little jute handle bags.
Another thing I found cool is their Rosemary Tea Tree Lice Repel shampoo and leave-in conditioner. I get questions all the time about handling lice naturally. This is a great way to deal with lice problems (and perhaps to keep them from spreading if you have multiple children). It’s also clinically proven 95% effective which sounds pretty good.
I really like how they provide “solutions” with their products, like their Clean Sport Shampoo for sun and swim or their Berry Primrose for tangly or unruly hair. What’s great is these are all color safe for mom too. I used them on my own chemically highlighted hair (I know but seriously? Come on) and had good results.
The scents, I’ll admit are a tiny bit stronger than I’m used to with other natural brands but they get great feedback on all their products. My personal favorite is the Berry Primrose! I also packed the Clean Sport detangler in my beach bag for post-swim comb outs.
What I really love is the care and consideration that goes into this line of products. Their entire line is made on a certified organic farm in New York. They do products in small batches to ensure the highest quality and it really shows in their delivery. The products came to me wrapped up in colorful tissue in a jute bag. I felt like I was opening a box of expensive candy rather than shampoo. Very classy. Babo Botanicals ingredients earned them a respectable spot on our Skin Care Cheat Sheet.
Get It: You can order any of their products on their website Babobotanicals.com!

If you aren’t familiar with Sophie Uliano she is the fabulous author behind the New York Times Best Seller Gorgeously Green and The Gorgeously Green Diet: How to Live Lean and Green that came out a year or so ago. She just published her third book Do It Gorgeously recently, and it is the perfect follow up and a terrific resource. Sophie believes that as women, we can make an impact on the earth and live an earth-friendly life without giving up style and glamor. She is my kind of lady!
The basic premise of the book is to highlight ways we can create things ourselves… which usually end up being more eco-friendly and easier on our wallets. A lot of you know that saving money is paramount right now and living for eco-consciously can really help you save money. Who wants to buy expensive shampoo when you can make it yourself? Well, some of us do but that’s just one of a zillion ideas she presents in Do It Gorgeously.
Her recipes and do-it-yourself how-to’s include things like making your own health remedies (cough syrup and chest rubs), how to make your own barbecue sauce, make your own compost bin, recipes for making your own skincare or baby care products… there are a million things in here that I never even considered doing myself like making my own shower curtain out of bed sheets or making my own Mint Zinger mouthwash. Most of her recipes and how-to’s try to utilize things you may already have. For some of the skin care and product recipes, you’ll need to invest in essential oils and ingredients but in general, this is a great resource to have on hand when you’re wondering what to do with an old pair of jeans (make a diaper bag out of them!) or with an unused Tupperware tub (compost bin!). It’s staying on my shelf for when I need some ideas for DIY and re-purposing.
GET IT: Do It Gorgeously is the perfect resource for the eco-chic who want to do more DIY and less spending. Pick up your copy at Amazon.com

Eco-Friendly Eco-Kids Art Supplies
Filed Under Eco-Mama, Product Reviews | 3 Comments
We did a round up of eco-friendly play dough a while back, which was great fun. But we never really touched on other art supplies that are lurking in our cabinets. I’ll admit I have my fair share of the good old traditional stuff like Crayola crayons, and markers. But when it comes to paint I was a little more leery of what was in them and whether rinsing that stuff down the sink was bad for the environment.
The Glass Baby Bottle is a great little online shop that caters to those of us seeking a less toxic life for our babies and kids. They carry a wide range of products: Organic clothing, mattresses, bibs, bamboo bath towels, art supplies and yes – glass baby bottles. They asked us to review their new stock of Eco-Kids USA art supplies. I was excited to do so! For review they sent us a set of the Eco-Kids USA Finger paint Tube and a set of the Eco-Pencils.
The paints are made with with natural ingredients like plant, fruit and vegetable extracts from beets, spinach, paprika, carrots, purple sweet potato, red cabbage, blueberries and tomato. All the colors come in a power form so you can control how intense the color is. You can do something simple like water color or change the paint/water ratio and use a thicker paint. We experimented with a few variations and the colors all look pretty fabulous. They dry lighter in color but the fun part is doing the actual painting (if you ask me).
The Eco-Kids Colored Pencils come in a variety of pretty colors and are made with recycled newspaper along with wax and natural mineral dyes. Two pencils are “rainbow” too so they are fun to experiment with. My son is really into learning to write and these have been a fun way to encourage that skill. The Eco-Kids art supplies would make great Easter gifts for he kiddies. Speaking of Easter…
Eco-Kids has a great eco-friendly Easter Egg Coloring Kit! Finally! A kit for the rest of us who don’t feel like making our own. The kit comes with 5 colors made from purple sweet potato, paprika, beta carotene, red cabbage and blueberries. There is enough dye to color your eggs (twice if need be!) and the kit comes with 2 soy crayons for decorating. So great! I’d love to say that I spent time steeping vegetables and straining juices to make my own safe egg coloring but I just haven’t done it. With a 4 year old, a baby and work, I can barely get dinner ready. I’ve been waiting for a safe kit to come on the market and my prayers have been answered!
Get Them: Get these and other great Eco-Kids products from our friends at The Glass Baby Bottle for toxin free essentials for baby and kids. the Glass Baby Bottle is run by a Mom & Dad who want to provide non-toxic shopping for the rest of us. I’m happy to support (literally) Mom & Pop shops!

Kind Signs Stroller Signs!
Filed Under product finds, Product Reviews | 2 Comments
Having a baby again, I had forgotten how much other people love babies. I cannot go to a store without people swooning and goo goo gah gah-ing at my handsome little guy. Not that I blame them. He is utterly adorable. And if I forget to put on his socks? People can’t resist coming up to touch his little piddies. I can’t keep my hands off his feet either. But I’d rather not have strangers touching my baby when I’m out and about. That sounds like I’m a grump. But in reality, there’s germs, illnesses, flu’s and all kinds of icky things he isn’t immune to that could be lurking on the kind hand of a stranger in the produce aisle. I’m also the type of person who has trouble asserting myself in situations where I’m uncomfortable.
I found MamaBears.com one day surfing the Internet and I was so excited to find their adorable Kind Signs. Kind Signs are a silicone “sign” that says “Your Germs Are Too Big For Me, Please Don’t Touch”. You can hang them on your stroller, carrier, shopping cart, cribs, diaper bag or anywhere your little cutie is sitting to gently let people
know you’d rather they not touch your baby. Each sign is large enough for people to read easily and is a nice way of saying “hands off”. The signs are made of silicone which is BPA, PVC and Phthalate free so if baby happens to get his mitts on it’s not the end of the world.
They come in Orange, Blue or Pink and are only about 8 bucks. I keep mine in my diaper bag so I can easily whip it out while I’m out shopping with my little man. I’ve not had any trouble with strangers touching him since (but we still get the goo goo gah gah’s) and I’m a happier mom for it.
GET IT: You can order your own Kind Sign from MamBears.com!
