Wearing Offspring Natural diapers in Style

Ever since my last review of major diaper brands, I’ve also tried some new brands on my 2nd child. One of them is Offspring Natural diapers which were sent to me to test and review (thanks, guys!). These diapers are available online on their website at offspringnatural.com and delivery is free within West Malaysia if you spend RM150 and more. Offspring boasts all-natural and earth-friendly products so you’ll know what you’re getting—top quality!

The day my package arrived, my eldest child was more excited than I was, thinking that this was a toy for her (haha sorry, babe).

Rest assured, the products are well packaged to ensure the best condition when you receive it.

Ahhh I was so excited to try all of these! The size L for my eldest and the S for the younger one.

The Training Pants diapers are suitable for toddlers who are always on the go. Currently, we’re using Drypers Drypants on our eldest.

This is such a smart design. You don’t have to worry about getting scissors to cut the top open. Simply tear the dotted lines and you’re good to go.

I love how the waistband is thick in height. It safely secures the diaper on your toddler and you don’t have to worry about it coming down when it’s full. The only thing my toddler didn’t like was the owl print haha. She still chose to wear the bear print diaper pants from Drypers. The only thing Offspring can consider would be to include multiple designs in one pack so choosy toddlers (like mine) can choose to wear their desired design.

Here’s the tape pack that I’ve received. Got the elephant design which is super adorable. It’s pretty thin and can last up to 12 hours too.

They also have the same dotted lines on the pack like the training pants one so you don’t have to snip to open.

See how cute these are?! I love how long in height they are.  The Offspring tape diapers’ design were well thought of and could avoid leaks on the back.

Both of my girls did not experience any rashes while wearing these diapers. Kudos, Offspring Natural, I’d recommend both of these tape and pants diapers to any moms!

Stay tuned to my next review of the Offspring Baby Wipes.

 

 

Get Things Done With BungkusIt

We’re moms. On top of looking after the children, we have million of other things on our to-do list. Lucky me, I’ve found an app that’s worth mentioning and possibly put some of your miseries to rest. It’s called BungkusIt!

BungkusIt is an app that allows you to get things done like:-

  • Order food from your favourite restaurant
  • Get groceries from the supermarket
  • Deliver your items without queuing up at the post office
  • Pick up things from places for you

Basically everything EXCEPT picking up your kids from school (haha). BungkusIt also promised to get your task done in less than 60 minutes. How superb is that?! No time wasted!

I’ve had the privilege to try out their service and it was pretty easy for a first-timer.

How to go about it? Firstly you need to download the BungkusIt app via App Store or Google Play. Click on register and fill in your details. Key in 4tg2yk in the referral code field.

When you’re done, you’re set to make your first order! For me, I’d like them to purchase McDonald’s and have it sent to my home. Yum yum. Simply add the nearest McDonald’s in the ‘Pickup’ field and your home address in the ‘Drop Off’ field.

Once you’re satisfied, click DONE. You will then see the image below. Select ‘Pay at Drop Off’ and make sure you’ve enough cash to give the roadie when he comes. Type in your order in the ‘Tell us what you want’ section. Be specific and clear if you do not want your order to get messed up. Add a photo if possible to help your roadie with the order. When you’re done click Submit.

Once a roadie accepts your order, you will see this on your screen. This is so useful as it shows you the ETA of the roadie.

My order arrived safe and sound in less than 60 minutes! So happy cos I was super hungry haha. Upon completion of task, you will then have a chance to rate your roadie and in my case, he did a great job in delivering my food.

Why I love my Babyzen Yoyo+ and Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix

Since my first review and comparison between the Babyzen Yoyo+ and GB Pockit, I’ve been happily using the Babyzen Yoyo+ for about two years now. It is by far the best stroller I’ve used – lightweight, aircraft cabin approved and compact enough to fit into any car.

But now, my firstborn had since ‘self-graduate’ from the stroller and she’s fond of just walking and running around on her own when we go out. This is where a child harness comes in handy. Sure, if you’re using a child harness you will get funny stares from people around often accompanied with whispers such as “look look, so cute lar” or “yier like dog like that”.

But whatever it is, a child harness is to prevent the toddler from straying too far and most importantly, from being snatched away. I have been using the Trunki ToddlePak reins and I’m extremely happy with it – my toddler is always excited to wear it. Another popular type is the wrist link type which I am not particularly fond of as the constant tugging isn’t very good for the toddler’s wrist and shoulder.

Back to the Babyzen Yoyo+. So, now that my firstborn is no longer using the stroller and I now have a new infant in my family, the Yoyo+ has another great use – the stroller chassis can be used to attach a Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix using special adapters.

As the Yoyo+ is ultra lightweight and compact, the entire combination (Yoyo+ chassis, CabrioFix and adapters) only weighs about 6kg.

I find that this is possibly the best city stroller and infant car seat combination – Even better than the Quinny Zapp and Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix combination I reckon!

Here’s an example of how the combination works:
1. Detach Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix from Yoyo+ with a single push of the buttons on each side

2. Fit CabrioFix into the car with infant inside – secure the Cabriofix in place

3. Fold the Yoyo+ and either put it inside the trunk or just on the floor of the car

Car seat and city stroller combinations have come a long way since. Now, there are 2-in-1 equipments combining both car seat and stroller without the need of detaching them – the Doona Car Seat Stroller. However, this clever and very beautifully designed buggy can only be used up to a limited age which makes it uneconomical.
