Sealy Cool Gel Crib Mattress Review & $100 Buy Buy Baby Giveawa

~Sponsored Post~

I was provided the below mentioned product in exchange for my honest review. 

We were recently sent the new Sealy Select 2-Cool 2-Stage Crib Mattress to try out and after several nights of using it I must say we love it. I actually tried it in Hudson's (9 month old) crib as well as Emma's (2 year old) toddler bed. It worked equally well in both beds. And they both slept great, one of Momma's biggest request with a mattress. 

I love so many things about this mattress. 

I LOVE that Sealy is a brand that you can trust. They are the leading crib mattress brand in the USA.

My children are my world and I only want things I can trust for them. Whether it is their car seat, mattress, etc. 

I LOVE that I can use it not only with Hudson (my 9 month old) but with Emma (age 2) as well. That is because it is double sided; it has a firmer infant side as well as a softer toddler side. The infant side is made from high-density soy enhanced foam. The toddler side is made from a natural soy-enhanced cooling gel plus a CoolTex fabric cover.

There's nothing like getting your money's worth: a mattress that will go from day 1 to age 3 or 4 (toddler bed).  A mattress that you can trust to help protect your infant from SID's and that will carry them through the next several years. 

I LOVE that it is GreenGuard Certified which means it is certified for indoor air quality & low chemical emissions. We aren't totally green in our household but I do like to reduce the amount of chemicals my children are exposed to. I try my best to choose what is best for my children. 

I LOVE that the toddler side offers a cooling effect which aids in a better night's sleep. Because lets face it when our toddler sleeps better so do we. 

I LOVE the square edges which make it fit so nicely in my crib as well as my toddler bed. I found this to be unlike some of the other mattresses that I have tried & bought. Most of the others had curved edges which left gaps between the crib and mattress. 

After reviewing the mattress in both crib & toddler bed I was unable to find anything that I didn't like about it.

Cool-Tex™ waterproof and stain-resistant fabric cover for luxury and comfort

Firmer infant side made from high-density soy-enhanced foam with secure edges

A natural soy-enhanced cool gel layer added for ultimate cushion and comfort for toddlers

Sesame Street Elmo Fruits & Fun Booster Seat Review & {GIVEAWAY}

~Sponsored Post~

Several months ago we put our high chair up. Emma pretty much refused to sit in it so it was just taking up space. At only two (going on 13) she isn't quite big enough to sit properly at the kitchen table. So, we were thrilled at the chance to try out the new Kolcraft Sesame Street Booster Seat 

Emma & Maddox couldn't wait to try it out. In fact they both fight over who is going to sit in it. I think purchasing a second one is in our near future. I also love the fact that Hudson can sit in it starting around 6 months. So nice to not have a bulky high chair taking up space. And I LOVE the fact that it easily folds for travel (and storage). So, we will be able to take it along on vacations.

And even though my older two don't necessarily need it, a 3 position adjustable tray is included. The seat is the perfect size because not only does it fit my 2 year old, it also fits perfectly for my almost 4 year old (fits up to 45 lbs).

It also has a 3 point restraint to help keep my wiggly kids safe.

Another great feature that I found was that it is height adjustable to get your baby/child to the height of the dinner table.

And because easiness is a mother's best friend, the back & seat can easily be wiped off.

The only con that I could find was that it barely fit around our chairs. It did fit but I would think that there would be some chairs that it wouldn't work for because I don't feel that ours are overly large. 

Buy It: Walmart for $26.88
