Review: Dapper Snappers Toddler Belt

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was sent a Dapper Snappers Toddler Belt in beige to review. And I don’t usually start off my reviews like this, but I love this belt! Little J has a big head but is otherwise skinny. Almost all of his shorts and pants will fit him in length but are much too big around the waist. His pants constantly sag and start to fall down. That’s even if he’s wearing a big cloth diaper. It’s even more of an issue when he’s in a disposable!

Occasionally, I can find pants or shorts for him that have adjustable elastic, which is great. But they’re not always easy to find, and I really don’t want to spend the money. Little J has perfectly good shorts and pants handed down to us by friends and relatives.

The Dapper Snappers Toddler Belt is a half belt that doesn’t get in the way of potty training or diaper changes.

The belt is made of suspender elastics with snaps. Thread the belt through the back three belt loops, and bend the ends back over the outer two loops, and then snap.

Dapper Snappers are available in a variety of colors and patterns and are recommended from ages nine months through six years old. And, they’re made here in the USA! As I mentioned

The Dapper Snappers company also sells maternity belts, big kid belts, mitten clips, and belts with clips (for skirts or pants without belt loops). Use coupon code 2014MAYBR for 15 percent off your purchase!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

MCO’s Birthday Bash is continuing our celebration with an amazing giveaway for a Kazam Balance Bike!
Little J is a baby no more; he’s growing fast, and pretty soon he’ll have moved on from a tricycle and be ready for a balance bike. Time is going so quickly! I never had a balance bike as a child, just the traditional bicycle with training wheels. I didn’t learn to balance without the training wheels until I was 9! That seems really old to me. Reading about balance bikes, they make sense, and I think will really help Little J in the future. Does your little one have a balance bike? Do you think it’s better than a bike with training wheels? I’d love your input! -Elisebet

From Mommy’s Craft Obsession:

Kazam has the balance first, pedal next approach to learning how to ride a traditional bike.  If you have a three to six year old who is not riding a bike yet, skip the training wheels, and teach your child to balance first using the award-winning Kazam Balance Bike!

I had the opportunity to review a green Kazam Balance Bike!  I have to say I love the idea of the balance first, pedal next approach to riding a bike, my daughter has been having a tough time getting the training wheels off her traditional bike, and is really enjoying the balance bike, and she is actually starting to get her balance figured out!  Kazam is uniquely designed with a foot rest, allowing children to lift their feet up naturally and position them on to the foot rest maintaining proper balance and center of gravity, it is the most realistic approach to learning coordination and balance; and ultimately teaching kids how to ride a pedaled bike.

To Purchase:  Visit Kazam to get a balance bike for your little one!

Combi originated in Tokyo, Japan in 1957 and cultivated from a firm and growing foundation of customer trust. For over 40 years Combi has been providing safe and original products for every setting of your child’s life. 
 
Several months ago I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to review the amazing Shuttle Infant Car Seat and Catalyst Stroller from Combi and am happy to report that I was more than impressed with their wonderful quality and craftsmanship. Combi really listened to what parents want in terms of safety and functionality and brought it to life within their infant car seat and stroller. You can read my review of those two items here.
June 5th is the launch of Combi’s newest product, the Go & Grow Walker, Play Table & Chairs! When I was sent over all of the product details for this product, my eyes immediately lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. Combi hit a home run with this product in terms of functionality; what parent wouldn’t want to buy ONE product that can be used for so many stages in their child’s life?
