It works great . . . sorta

This is the first time I've written a review and I'm only doing it because I was intrigued by one especially negative review in light of all the positive reviews. I bought the product anyway and quickly discovered that it doesn't work on my toilets. Too easy to pull up the lid and seat and completely rip the lock off the toilet rim - no matter how well attached. At first I thought the product was entirely useless. But I'm happy to report that the problem was easily solved. I bought shelf liner made out of rubber and cut a strip to fit on the rim where I planned to install the lock. I installed the lock over the rubber strip and secured it according to the instructions. Voila! The lock fits snugly on the rim and secures the toilet seat and lid very well. I'm surprised the company doesn't include a rubber fitting with the product as it certainly works and would probably eliminate any complaints.More detail ...

The only tub to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get anything else!!

A friend of mine suggested this tub because of the "hammock feature." Your baby is cradled in a "hammock" that attaches to the tub making it super easy to bathe your newborn. The pads in the tub are soft and they are mold-resistant. It fits in any sink you put it in single or double and it will save your back not having to bend over your own bathtub. I also like how it has a built in bath caddy to put baby's shampoo/soap/toys/washcloths whatever. My only two complaints are that the plug DOES NOT change color when water is too hot. When we used those little floating rubber ducks that have the word HOT on the bottom that turn white when the water is too hot the plug didn't turn white. One day I filled it with scalding hot water (without my baby in it of course) to see if it would change color and it didn't. I guess it doesn't matter anyway since you should ALWAYS check the water temp before putting your little one in it but I thought it would have been a cool feature had it actually worked. My other complaint is that is is bulky and big and if you live in a little house like we do there is no room for it. However I would still not recommend any other tub but this one.More detail ...

Strengths and weaknesses

I was looking for a safe effective sunsreen for my trip to Southeast Asia this summer. Here are what I think are the strengths and weaknesses for this product

Strengths:

1 Many non-chemical sunscreens actually fail to live up to their SPF but I do think it successfully protected my skin in the worst UV environment. (But I also used hats and such)

2 It is relatively safe for my skin. It didn't make my skin break out.



Weaknesses:

1 THE greasiest sunscreen I ever experienced. It's ok when you're out hiking or at the beach but when I went out to see friends they often commented on how much I was "sweating." When I really did sweat it made the cream turn white and visible (dotty on my face).

2 As it's noted on Skin Deep Cosmetic safety database it's not perfectly safe. While I didn't have any breakouts my face (not my body) got itchy wearing this. But I was able to get around it by putting on a moisturizer before applying this.

3 It's pretty tough to wash off. Though it's not waterproof after I washed my body I could still smell it and see it on my skin (showing up white especially in wrinkly area).



Despite the problems I think I might use it again next summer (at least on my body) because I haven't been able to find a better safe high SPF sunscreen. Other ones don't make my face shiny but make my face look all white.

Baby Mom & Dad love it!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LQE7BC7GFTUZ This is a video review of California Baby's Calendula Cream.



The scent is very mild and the 2 pack makes the purchase much more economical as opposed to buying them individually.



We are definitely going to continue buying this product for the baby Mom and Dad.More detail ...

Best Sunscreen Ever!

I love this sunscreen. It is not greasy or smelly or full of crap that no one needs all over the largest organ of their bodies (their skin). I love it especially for my 11 month old daughter. It works wonderfully and I can feel secure knowing that her skin is not absorbiing a bunch of chemicals.



I put Water Babies on her once and she broke out into a head to toe rash. I felt terrible. With this sunscreen that has never happend!More detail ...
