Bought this for our daughter for Christmas and she loves it!
Dora is nice and soft, the colors are bright, stitching seems to be good, and I love that the backpack is attached so it doesn't get lost.
Great size for our little toddler (it's about 7" tall, so it's easy for her to hold and put in her Dora backpack).
Would definitely buy again!

Review - Graco Ready2Grow Classic Connect LX Stroller, Oasis
Good stroller; room for improvement.
I bought this to use for a 2-year-old and an infant. I like it, but probably wouldn't buy it again.
Pros: tons of different seating options, Graco car seat is very easy to "click" in, stroller folds up super fast and easily, standing platform is very sturdy, 2 canopies to shade both kiddos, child's tray and parent's tray are very useful, 5-point harnesses for front seat and jump seat, pattern is nice for girls or boys, storage basket is large.
Cons: the brake is at a terrible position and I'm constantly kicking it, front seat is very shallow, fits into our mini-van...just barely, heavier than our last double stroller, jump seat is a bit difficult to get in and out of the stroller, stroller basket is difficult to access.
Overall, it's ok. We've used a regular Graco double stroller in the past and loved it. I wanted to try something different this time around, and wasn't super impressed.

We've now had this stroller for 1.5 years. It's still in great shape but because of the above-listed cons I prefer using a single Graco stroller.

Review - Trend Lab CribWrap Fleece Rail Cover for Long Rail, Natural, Wide
Great size, nice and soft, works perfectly for us!
Bought this after trying one of the "gummy" rail protectors and am so glad we did! The gummy protector did a decent job of protecting the crib from kids biting them, but it started coming off after about a year and left an awful sticky residue along the entire crib rail.
Decided to try this fleece rail cover and LOVE it! It covers the entire rail, ties on easily and securely (we use square knots so it's easy to take off and toss in the washer), looks nice in the nursery, and protects the crib (and our child's teeth!)
The fleece on top is soft and the waterproof bottom protects the rail from drooling. Only wish we'd found this sooner!

We've now used this for 2 children and it still looks new! Does a great job of protecting the crib and I love how nice it looks and how easy it is to wash. We hang it to dry (or dry on low) to help keep it's shape.
