Opus 256 - Hold It Baby

I have found the best product ever. I first heard about it on a multiples website, but didn't pay too much attention since it's for traveling and we don't do much of it. Then we decided to go to Las Vegas for the wedding and I started looking into it again.

It's called Hold It Baby and it's amazing. It can hold up to five things at a time (I suppose you could squeeze a couple more on) and keeps your kids from throwing everything on the car floor and whining for you to pick it up. Any parent knows how annoying that is - times two is no fun! We actually don't let the kids take anything in the car with them because we just don't want to deal with it. That technique has worked quite well. However, I really wanted the kids to be able to have something to drink and a few toys to help entertain them on the drive the Vegas, so I decided to check the Hold It Baby out.

Here's what I like about it:

* It's made by a mother of twins, which of course makes it cool :)
* There's nothing on it that's unsafe for kids to chew on (oh man, are my kids chewers)
* It can hold a lot
* It's easy to use
* It works!!!

I do have to warn you that it's not cheap - especially if you have to buy more than one. When I first checked out the price after deciding it'd be good for our trip, I decided not to buy them because of the price. Fortunately, Jason got a bonus a few days later so I decided we could swing it. I'm so glad I got them because it made the trip to Vegas much easier than it would have been without. The kids loved having their sippies and toys. Lissa especially loved being able to read books (yes, it holds books!*) and Joshua loved having his truck.

Now that we have the Hold It Baby's, we can let the kids bring stuff with them in the car when we drive around too. Of course, to make things easier, we're only letting them bring sippy cups, but at least they can drink now :)


*We did have a problem with the binding on a few books ripping. We're not sure if the books were too big for the product, or if the books were too weak - two of the books are pretty cheap and have already had problems, but the other book seemed like it was in good shape... No matter what, it was still worth it; I'll just tape the binding back up - I've done that with many books already.
