At the rate she’s growing, it’s no surprise that this day will come very soon. I do active babywearing but when going out as a family, we use our infant carseat-stroller more, with the carrier packed in my diaper bag AT ALL TIMES, in case she has a sudden meltdown. I’ve recently been sent the Fedora L3 stroller and we took it out for a spin over the weekend. Here’s what we liked about it. One-touch folding to a compact size What I like most about the Fedora L3 is its size. With the crazy amount of things I have to bring around when travelling with cbb, a small and manageable stroller is what I need. The folded dimensions are: 666mm (H) X 273mm (D) X 560mm (W). Scroll down to the end of this post to watch the video of how easy it is to open and close. It can be easily hand-carried or slung on your shoulder The included shoulder straps makes it possible for me to sling the L3 easily on my shoulder, freeing my hands up for other things. Jason prefers to hand carry it and he says it feels like carrying his work bag. It is lightweight but not flimsy At just 5.9kg, the Fedora L3 is one of the lighter strollers in the market. The grip of its wheels performs better than the other lightweight strollers I have tested at baby fairs. Maybe because I am used to the sturdy structure of my current 7+kg carseat-infant-pram-in-one, the overall handling of the L3 takes some getting used to. 5-point harness safety belt Babies 6-months onwards love to be forward facing cos they wanna see the world but I am a bit paranoid when I can’t see what she’s up to. With the 5-point harness safety belt, I can be sure that she’s properly and safely buckled up even when she’s not in my face. Reclinable seat and foot-angle adjustment for better posture The seat angle can be adjusted for when cbb has fallen asleep, and the foot rest can also be angled to coincide with her posture as she grows. Ya errrrr those are supposed to be long pj pants.. which look sar-suku on her.. sorry baby! Mummy will buy new ones!> Suitable for newborns to 48 months With the amount of money we have to spend on a baby, investing in something that grows with her is really important. The Fedora L3 can be used from newborn (with infant insert) to toddler, making it an extremely value-for-money essential. Cbb on the way to school! Yes she fell asleep….. Overall The L3 scores on many aspects which are important to me: size, safety and aesthetics. It is light enough to be brought around and yet not flimsy.

What I like most about the Fedora L3 is its size. With the crazy amount of things I have to bring around when travelling with cbb, a small and manageable stroller is what I need.

]]> Baby: Shrinkx Belly & Shrinkx Hips Wrap/Binder review https://www.budgetpantry.com/shrinkx-belly-hips/ Fri, 03 Jun 2016 03:10:04 +0000 https://budgetpantry.com/?p=8016 I’ve been researching on belly wraps ever since Chua Bee Bee was baking, and have even ordered those cheap ones from Taobao for RMB20-25 (SGD5 thereabouts). Hehe. But when they arrived, I realised there’s no way I could fit into their L or even XL size (they’re reallyyyy tiny, maybe XS/S). The material also has very minimal stretch and is tough and rough to the touch. So when I got an opportunity to review Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips Ultra from My Miracle Baby, I jumped at the chance! I packed these along with me in my hospital bag, not knowing if I will be undergoing natural delivery or a c-section. But it didn’t matter because Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips Ultra can be used even with c-section. I asked the nurse if I can use Shrinkx Belly in place of the hospital abdominal binder and after looking at my binder, she said ok! About Shrinkx Belly Shrinkx Belly is a post-partum belly wrap with customised triple compression. Most other binders only have one layer of velcro, just wrap around and that’s it. Shrinkx Belly has the usual wraparound and a second and third loop so you can even further tighten (and customise) how tight you want to wrap, with no discomfort. With a c-section, I first used it on my lower abs, around my wound. When I got home and the wound started getting better, I used it on my upper tummy to keep the fats in while using Shrinkx Hips Ultra on the bottom. Post-op, I couldn’t tighten the wrap as much as I wanted, as the tighter it is, the more it ‘ate’ into my wound. But I could adjust the fitting to my circumstances. It works great with a c-section (approved by gynae!), but I think it will be really perfect if you hadn’t undergone a surgery cos you don’t have to factor in additional pain. With a pre-pregnancy waist of 30″, I got size S/M and it fit me comfortably. To get the best results, start wearing the Shrinkx Belly belly band immediately after delivery and wear the band as much as possible during the day and night. For sizing guide and how-to-wear instructions, visit this page. About Shrinkx Hips Ultra The Shrinkx Hips Ultra postnatal compression belt helps moms get back their pre-pregnancy hips after delivery. It is the first and only wrap clinically proven to narrow hips after delivery. This binder has no stretch, so wearing it around your hips could take some getting used to. How does it work? The hormone ‘Relaxin’ stays in our system up to 8 weeks after delivery – this hormone loosens pelvic joints and ligaments for childbirth. Wearing Shrinkx Hips during this time gently guides hips back to their pre-pregnancy position, or smaller. With a pre-pregnancy hip size of 40.5″, I got size M/L. 95% of moms returned to their pre-pregnancy hip size.. I hope I don’t fall in the 5%! For sizing guide and how-to-wear instructions, visit this page. Is it working? At the time of writing, I’m 3 weeks + into wearing both Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips Ultra and have seen a 2-inch decrease in waist size and a 1 inch decrease in hip size. I have to confess that I haven’t been very diligent but I’m happy with the results so far. (edit 10 June: I started my post-natal massage one week after I prepared this post, and my waist dropped another 3.5″ in five days! I wear the cloth binder for six hours daily and then take it off during shower. After that, it’s Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips Ultra all the way until the next massage session the next day afternoon.) FAQs 1. When can I start wearing Shrinkx Belly? Start wearing the Shrinkx Belly postpartum belly band immediately after delivery and wear the band as much as possible during the day and night. Make sure the wrap fits tightly around your waist use the side straps to customise compression on the front of the abdomen. 2. Can Shrinkx Belly be worn after c-section? Yes but wait to start wearing until you can do so comfortably. 3. What is the fabric content of Shrinkx Belly? Shrinkx Belly uses a lightweight, latex free mesh fabric that is made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex 4. Can I wash the Shrinkx Belly band? Yes but be sure to hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. 5. What is the difference between Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips? Shrinkx Belly is a postpartum BELLY wrap to help you lose inches off your belly and waist. Shrinkx Hips is a postpartum HIP wrap designed exclusively to narrow hips after childbirth. 6. Can you wear Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips together? Since both products work on different parts of the body you can absolutely wear them at the same time. Remember due to the hormone Relaxin, you only have 8 weeks after delivery to take advantage of narrowing your hips. ================================== Disclaimer: I received a set of Shrinkx Belly and Shrinkx Hips for review purposes and received no monetary payment for this review.
