One Step Ahead Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Now that summer is upon us that means road trips are too. I never realized how much work is involved in taking a baby on trips. I miss the days when C and I could throw our stuff in the car and take off for the weekend. But now I have to think about things like toys, snacks, hand sanitizer, books, juice, sippy cups and the list goes on and on! But One Step Ahead is literally one step ahead in helping me keep things organized.

One Step Ahead was founded by real life parents, Karen and Ian Scott, who wanted the best for their children. After the finding the "perfect" items for their children in catalogs and stores only lead to disappointment when they did not live up to their expectations, Karen and Ian traded their Fortune 500 careers in to pursue their kind of baby company. Three decades later, One Step Ahead is still helping parents navigate the baby market.

To help us get ready for summer trips we were sent the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer and the NeckSaver from One Step Ahead. The NeckSaver is a versatile head and neck support for babies ages newborn to two years. As soon as I pulled it out I saw that the NeckSaver came in adorable colors, pink and brown. And could not believe how soft it was! After many unsuccessful trips around the block, Princess P finally fell asleep so I could try it out. Getting it around her neck without waking her was the hard part (she kept playing with it while she was awake). I immediately noticed that her head was resting on the sides of the support and not pitched forward like it was before. However, their were some times when her head fell slightly forward. I just gently pushed it back toward the carseat. While we didn't get to use the NeckSaver for long, we were only minutes from the house, I could tell that it is going to be a definite asset in our long road trips.

After (finally!) getting the car detailed C put the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer in for me as I chased Princess P down the driveway. He said installation was super simple and it was very easy to adjust. With 15 various sized pockets this thing is very useful! We have room to put several of Princess P's books and a couple of diapers in the larger bottom pocket. And I placed a small wipes container in the detachable activity case. Some of the smaller pockets are perfect for holding single use wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and smaller toys. I use the medium pocket, which is great for storing CD's and DVD's, for snacks and a juice box. The expandable mesh pocket is the perfect size for storing P's sippy cup! While Princess P isn't quite big enough to reach it now, she will be able to when she can use it for storing art supplies like coloring books and crayons. The Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer definitely helps keep the clutter down in the backseats!

One lucky person will win their very own Toys On The Go Backseat Organizer!

I would have to say that the Ultimate Baby Wrap Sling Carrier would be a great help to my fiance and I (though I'd love if his 8 yr old daughter could wear it too) for toting our almost 8 month old daughter around this summer. She loves to be held/carried when we go places because she's tired of her car seat and stroller LOL. Thanks!
