Graco Strollers Recalled After 5 Fingertip Amputations

January 21, 2010

About 1.5 million Graco strollers sold at Wal-Mart, Target and other major retailers are being recalled after some children’s fingertips were amputated by hinges on the products.

The recall by Graco Children’s Products Inc. includes certain model numbers of its Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers and Travel Systems. The Atlanta company received seven reports of children placing their fingers in a stroller’s canopy hinge as the canopy was being opened or closed. Five children had their fingertips severed and two children received cuts on their fingertips.

Graco recall

The strollers were made in China by Graco and sold at AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Kmart, Fred Meyer, Meijer, Navy Exchange, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart and other retailers nationwide from

October 2004 to December 2009.

Child’s Nativity Set

December 8, 2009

Our four-year-old son loves his soft nativity set that he got as a baby. But, I think he’s ready for something a little sturdier this year, since he loves to role play and wants to stand up all the characters. I’ve seen this Fisher Price Little People Nativity Set before and think it would be perfect for him. Plus, Toys R Us is offering FREE shipping for a limited time. I love online shopping, especially when free shipping is involved.

My Pregnancy Journal: “Not Too Much Longer”

My Pregnancy Journal

Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of those, “Not too much longer” comments. I feel funny telling people that I still have 4 weeks left (really 3 1/2 since I have a scheduled repeat c-section). One lady said she had just asked another girl my size yesterday and the girl only had 2 days left! How do you react to that?!!!

My husband said that I should just start saying, “What are you talking about? I’m only halfway there.” Now that would probably shut them up pretty quickly. I might try the multiples angle too. Well, I do have four in there. It’s quads. But I’m kind of scared to even joke about that

I’m really not sure if I’ll make it another three weeks, so I really need to pack my bag in advance this time…and soon, just in case.

October 19, 2009

cooking on clover lane

We recently posted about Healthy, Fun Lunches here on BBA. I’m always searching for creative ways to feed a kid, since I have a picky preschooler who is more of a grazer than a sit-down-and-eat-a-meal kind of child.

Here’s another great post that my friend Leslie came across while blog hopping. It’s called Kid Won’t Eat? This Works for Me! from Cooking on Clover Lane. She offers lots of other great recipes with beautiful pictures to accompany them. Check out all the labels in the right column to jump to recipes titles that look like they will work for your family.

It’s Been A While…

It’s been a while since our last update, but it feels like only a few days in my mind. They say that “time flies when you’re having fun.” Well, it also flies when the whole family is moving out of state with a pregnant wife, a husband who is ending one job on a Friday [...]

The Move

September 1, 2009

First, sorry about the lack of posts here lately.

By Jennifer
BabyBlogAddict.com
I had a c-section for my first child, so never had the chance to say yes or no to an epidural during labor. But, a friend of mine didn’t know whether she was going to get one or not. She said she’d play it by ear.
All that changed when she started laboring. She said [...]

Vaccines in the Works to Prevent Ear Infections

August 10, 2009

Though researchers don’t yet have a way to stop this suffering, they are working on at least three experimental vaccines with the potential to prevent ear infections.
Developing vaccines for ear infections is tricky because more than 100 types of germs cause such infections, Rosenfeld says.
Because children develop ear infections so often, and because parents miss [...]

Recession Means Fewer Babies

In fact, this village in North Kerala, India, [...]

It Might Look Silly, but the Band Serves a Purpose

August 3, 2009

By Jennifer
BabyBlogAddict.com
It might look silly, but most things do when you’re pregnant, right? Who cares anyway if it serves a purpose like relieving back pain or sucking in that tummy after you have the baby.
I’ve never been one who likes things that fit tightly against my pregnant belly, so when I received the band from Amon [...]
