Saturday, April 18, 2015Tuesday, March 31, 2015Dwinguler Play Mat - our review!
The Dwinguler playmat has become one of our hottest selling
items at Buggies and Babies! We’ve been carrying these mats for about a year
now and our customers continue to rave about these amazing mats! We’ve always
had one or two of the mats on display at our store so not only the staff and my
own kids enjoy the mats but our customers sure did as well.
 Our family recently added a Dwinguler play mat to our own home as our youngest is now at the crawling/sitting stage. We just could not be happier with our new mat! Why the Dwinguler playmat is awesome for the babies:
Soft and Thick – gives baby a soft, cushy area for crawling
on their knees but also gives baby a safe, soft landing spot when they fall on
their head or face
Large - gives baby a great big space to crawl around and
play
Colorful – babies love looking at different colors, shapes,
characters. It engages their senses and will illicit positive emotions and
feelings.
Educational – most of the mats are reversible with one size
featuring the alphabet and/or numbers. When the mat is on this side this will
create a handy tool to teach letters and numbers to your little one
Safe - the
material of the mat is safe for little ones (especially if the ill one is
teething and will likely gnaw on the edges). Also because it is one large piece
the baby cannot grab a small square or circle piece and chew/eat it, throw it,
lose it, etc!
Fun - one side of the mat will feature fun characters, animals, shapes or even texture. Our best selling print "Dinoland" features a fun roller coaster. In our store kids would always "drive" a toy car on the coaster track. It was a great way for the children to use their imaginations.
Why the Dingle play mat is awesome for parents
EASY TO CLEAN!!! Since it’s one large piece (rather than
square pieces or little connections) it can be cleaned easily, thoroughly and
fast!
Soft – if you’re a parent or grandparent with bad knees
(like me) you will appreciate how Dwinguler mat is so squishy and comfy. You
could (and probably will) take a nap on the mat!
Fun prints/colors – the Dwinguler play mat is available in
various colors and prints. The styles are generally kid finely but in such a
classy way that they will look good in your common living area. Hey, we have
little ones - our guests have to
understand our flooring choices are in the best interests of our littlest ones
at the moment.
EASY TO CLEAN!! I have to repeat this because with babies
and toddlers there will be many spills, accidents, vomit etc on your mat. Additionally,
if you’re like our family and have furry family members the faster and easier
to clean up is a must have. You do not want to mix dirty paws or shredding hair
in the play area. Of course this will happen.
Large – the mat is about the size of a standard room size
rug (7.5 feet by 4.5 feet) so using this in a playroom or family room is a perfect
fit! Other mats tend to run much smaller.
Safe – because of the thick cushy design you do not have to
worry about the spills/falls/drops your baby will go through in their “moving”
stages. This especially is the case if you have tile or wood floors. I also
think this bodes well if you have carpet! Babies put everything in their mouths
– I remember one of our older ones would actually eat the carpet, which
probably wasn’t yummy!
I truly cannot say enough about the Dwinguler playmat! We’ve
enjoyed featuring the product inside our store and are more than pleased to now
have one in our home! I would highly recommend the mat to every other household
with a ill baby and/or toddler but also preschools, indoor play spaces, day
cares should consider this amazing mat!

Buggies and Babies Giveaway!!
This Sunday October 19 2014 follow our blog here or on our Facebook page to enter in our giveaway for a Bumbleride Flite stroller! Contest begins Sunday October 19 and ends Friday October 24 2014!
 Our family loves the Bumbleride Flite! Since it was released in 2010 we've owned 2 and now we want to give one away to one of our lucky followers! The Bumbleride Flite is a very lightweight umbrella type stroller that is well known for its smooth ride, smart functions, and stylish looks. You will really appreciate how well this Flite maneuvers around town - smooth and easy! We recently took our Flite to the Pumpkin Patch here in San Diego with our kiddos. At our local pumpkin patch the ground is full of gravel and hay - its everywhere! Despite the bumpy road our stroller moved along amazingly. The suspension in the Flite wheels is something you would find in a jogger or all-terrain stroller - it's great for all types of terrains. As you can see I had our 9 week old as well as our 2.5 year old riding in our Flite. The Bumbleride Flite like other Bumbleride models is great for newborns. Whether you want to use the car seat adapter and attach a compatible car seat or have your lil one lie flat in the seat, the Flite will be comfortable for your baby and you too. Another favorite feature of the Flite is the very small compact fold! We have a big minivan so we can fit a big stroller in it. However, with all the other kids' items we have to pack for an outing backpacks, bags, blankets, clothes, baby carriers, diaper bags, lunches I don't have space for our everyday stroller! This makes the Flite perfect for those who are looking for a high quality stroller but don't have the space to pack a lot - whether you have a small trunk space or just overpacked. The Flite is also great for traveling as it holds a lot - up to 50 pounds. Then when its time to board the plane, hop in a taxi, or catch a ride on a trolley the Flite folds up small. If you're looking for a stroller that's lightweight, great for everyday use and accommodates a newborn yet will grow with your child the Flite is for you! If you've got an amazing everyday stroller but are looking for a lightweight, umbrella stroller with high quality design and function the Flite is for you too! Here's a breakdown of just some of the Flite's awesome features:
