When my kids were smaller and we traveled, I schlepped them through airports with a massive backpack and car seats in tow. And, the car seats? They were the worst. Even more difficult to maneuver, it turned out, than two toddlers with full diapers and fingers up their noses. At first, I used a bag purchased especially for the awkward job of moving monstrous seats from point A to point B. It had wheels and worked pretty well. But was (...Read More)

There comes a time in every mother-to-be’s life, when the decision for a diaper disposal unit must be made. Do I do the Genie? Diaper Dekor? Just throw them away in a plastic bag of death? I was pretty stressed about the options. I knew I wanted a formal containment unit. (Me and disgusting smells don’t get along.) I was also wary of the long-term costs of supplying the formal containment units. I had heard that they always get you (...Read More)
