Nanny to Mommy

I attended an event, received a complimentary Graco Little Lounger™, and compensation for this post. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

I still can't believe I am half way through this pregnancy already. When did we get here? March 21st is right around the corner, and as most of you know, we aren't finding out the gender. My mother-in-law keeps mentioning getting the nursery together, and while we are in the process of working on it, I'm not worried about that because we will have the Graco Little Lounger™ to keep bedside and to help us get 15 minutes back for ourselves.



The Graco Little Lounger™ is designed to give you 15 minutes for you. You can take those 15 minutes and have a hot shower (what is that?) or work out those sore "nursing back" muscles with some simple and easy yoga moves. I had the opportunity this past Thursday to attend an event to learn more about the Graco Little Lounger™ with some fellow Atlanta based bloggers. Thanks to Krystyn from Really? Are You Serious? for hosting! We also had a special guest; Meryl from Sacred Thread Yoga demonstrate how we could take just 15 minutes to relieve some stress using simple stretches.



I am very worried about Sweet Pea feeling left out. She has been the only child for almost three years now and although she seems really excited about the new baby, I don't know if she really knows what she is getting herself into. My main goal is to make sure she feels included in everything and the Graco Little Lounger can help me achieve this goal.



The Graco Little Lounger™ is both a rocking seat and a vibrating lounger. You can adjust the incline angle with a multitude of recline positions to find the perfect angle for your baby and it has a 3-point harness to keep baby secure. My favorite feature is the Rock Locks™. If you already have an older child, you can just flip the two Rock Locks™ and those rambunctious toddler siblings can’t accidentally rock baby out. As you can see, there is also a toy bar that comes with it to keep baby entertained. The Graco Little Lounger™ is also easy to store (or for travel) because with the push of a button, it squeezes together, and folds up compactly. The Graco Little Lounger™ is safe for infants up to 30 pounds (or around 20 baby dolls ;]). But remember that with any infant equipment/accessory, it’s important to keep an eye on their developmental queues because the lounger isn't meant for babies who are able to move into a seated position by themselves.



I can hardly wait for our surprise little bundle of joy to be here. I know that SweetPea and the new baby will love each other. And the Graco Little Lounger™ will help them become close friends from the start.

I received a complimentary Graco Little Lounger™ in Caraway fashion that is exclusively sold at Babies-R-Us (other fashions sold at various locations) and compensation for this post. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

I am so thrilled to have this opportunity to receive a complimentary FastAction™ Fold Click Connect™ Jogger from Graco, so I could share this review with all of you.



I also attended an event hosted by Meghan from JaMonkey. Where I got to see Meredith from Wail 'Til Your Father Gets Home and Amanda from The Accidental Mrs. again, and officially meet Amber from My Three Bittles for the first time, even if I didn't recognize her at first. And I enjoyed meeting and talking with Joyce from MommyTalkShow and Kecia from Southern Girl Ramblings, as well.

SweetPea had a blast playing with the other children. And I had fun learning about how awesome the Graco FastAction™ Fold Click Connect™ Jogger is! If you have seen my posts on Instagram, then you know how much I LOVE this stroller! It has the convenience of a traditional stroller, but the power and durability of a jogger! SweetPea never wants out. She wanted me to push her around the house all afternoon the other day.

Graco has listened to moms and knows what we want out of our strollers. I took this stroller out to Tanger Outlets, the ride and maneuverability made this a great accessory to bring with us with all the walking we had to do.


Look at all the bloggers!


The Click Connect technology connects with a Graco SnugRide Click Connect™ 35 Infant Car Seat through a secure one-step attachment. And I experienced this first hand because my sister-in-law has already shared this stroller with me and she has the same car seat.
The FastAction Fold makes it super easy to use with a one-second, single step fold plus it automatically locks and is self-standing when folded. Easy-Peasy. I can fold it up with one hand and hold SweetPea in the other.
While parents hit the streets for a jog, baby can stay comfortable with a multi-position reclining seat, convertible 3 or 5-point harness and large air-filled rubber tires for a smooth ride on any surface. I can't wait to take these large wheels to the beach!
The lockable front swivel wheel offers an easy transition from strolling to jogging.
Incudes an extra-large storage basket, trays for parents and baby, a smartphone cradle and even reflectors for low-light visibility for evening or early morning use. I love rocking out to Pandora while I walk so the smartphone cradle is a GREAT feature, so my phone doesn't bounce around. Plus it has covered storage and 2 deep cup holders that are great for water bottles and your keys!
The padded, multi-position reclining seat and child’s tray with 2 cup holders and snack tray that completely removes for easy cleaning combines the great feature of a regular stroller into a jogger stroller.

Graco’s NEW jogger is the ultimate crossover stroller, combining all the comfort and convenience features of a traditional stroller (FastAction Fold and Click Connect Technology) with performance and maneuverability of an all-terrain jogger.

As an added bonus, Graco’s innovative one-second, one-hand FastAction™ fold automatically locks & is self-standing.
