Now that we live closer to family, we visit them more frequently. But, everyone we visit doesn’t have a high chair stashed away just for us, and to lug one around would be just plain ridiculous. So to keep Jayden from busting a move in situations like these, we have to keep him in our arms. When going out to eat, most restaurants have highchairs but they have to be positioned awkwardly out into the aisle. For restaurants without high chairs, we’d have to take turns holding Jayden while the other one eats. Food, utensils, you name it, he’ll grab it and direct it towards his face.

The My Little Seat has made feeding and keeping Jayden from mischief away from home a breeze. The adorable travel high chair secures to a regular chair by a panel and ties. When we are done using the seat, we just remove it from the chair, fold it up into the size of a diaper, place it in it’s matching drawstring bag, then toss it in our diaper bag! Simple as that!

My Little Seat would come in handy for those families who visit other family members frequently like we do, or eat out at restaurants a lot. So we’re giving away a My Little Seat to make the life of parents on-the-go a little bit easier!

A while back, I conducted an interview here on Mommy Daddy Blog with Jamie Coblentz, one of the guys behind Kid Kustoms. Kid Kustoms is famous for their not-your-everyday-stroller, the Roddler. The Roddler stands out from the typical stroller because of its design, which derives from classic automobile Hot Rods. With the styles and colors of traditional strollers being suited more towards moms, Kid Kustoms created the Roddler with dad’s interests definitely in mind. You can sort of view it as the “man’s stroller”, if you will.

So with Father’s Day coming up (in two days to be exact), Kid Kustoms had to do something big for one lucky father out there! They’re hosting the Tins or Tots Cruise at The Right Start in Santa Monica, California tomorrow (June 14th), where they will be giving away an exclusive Boyd Coddington Commemorative Roddler, in honor or Father’s Day! The price tag on this thing is $4,000 (I can’t believe this stroller is worth more than my car), but for one lucky dad, it will be free!

In order to be eligible to win the Roddler, there are only two requirements:

1. You must be subscribed to their D.A.W.S. (Dads Against Wack Strollers) newsletter, and
2. You must be present at the event tomorrow (which unfortunately excludes me since I live like a billion miles away from California)

You can subscribe to D.A.W.S. by sending an e-mail to DAWS@KidKustoms.com, or you can subscribe in person at the Tins For Tots Cruise tomorrow.

So if you’re in the Santa Monica area with no plans for tomorrow, stop by the Tins For Tots Cruise at The Right Start for your chance to win a Roddler! The Right Start is located at 2212 Wilshire Blvd. and the event will run from 3PM to 6PM.

To learn more about Jamie Coblentz, Kid Kustoms, and the Roddler, I encourage you to read our interview and visit KidKustoms.com!

Last night we gave Jayden a bath. He did really good, but of course he still cannot take a bath without throwing a fit somewhere in between. Because of this, we make bath time as quick as possible. When he throws his fits, he gets to kicking and squirming. That on top of being wet isn’t such a good combo for parents who don’t want to drop him! So, this time around I used our No Slip Charlie gloves to bathe him, while Daddy stood on the sideline as my assistant.

The No Slip Charlie is a pair of fingerless gloves designed to improve the grip on a wet, slippery baby during a bath. Made of soft poly/lycra fabric, No Slip Charlie provides the extra grip that I need without any discomfort for me or Jayden.

No Slip Charlie is accompanied with removable terry cloth wash mitts that attach to the back of either glove with Velcro for hands-free washing. The terry cloth wash mitts come in handy when trying to get in between Jayden’s little baby rolls, lol. Being fingerless, No Slip Charlie allows me to still touch him and lather his hair. The No Slip Charlie comes in 2 colors, blue and pink. One size fits all. Order now through Father’s Day and get free shipping on your No Slip Charlie!

Before the fit!

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new buggy in town that’s been receiving a lot of buzz across the stroller scene: the Roddler! The Roddler is a unique and creative buggy whose designs derive from classic automobile Hot Rods; hence its name Roddler. With the purpose of standing out from the “traditional” look of strollers, the Roddler adds unprecedented style to the process of transporting the kiddies around!

So when Kid Kustoms contacted me with their latest press release, I definitely wanted to learn more about the Roddler. So I got in touch with Jamie Coblentz (one of the guys behind Kid Kustoms) and he agreed to do an interview here on Mommy Daddy Blog! It was definitely interesting to learn the history, passions, and goals behind Kid Kustoms and the Roddler! Enjoy!

How did Kid Kustoms first get started, and how did the idea for the Roddler first come about?

Joe and I have known each other for upwards of a decade and have worked on several high profile branding projects before. Joe and Iacono Designs had become a household name in the automotive industry, and I started a children’s apparel company [Pinstripe Prep] that I was developing into a lifestyle brand, so a natural product extension was the best avenue. That’s how Kid Kustoms was conceived. Wildly enough, it started off as “the Baby Bomber”. We thought we would soften the name a little when we learned that we were actually going to have to sell the product through conventional juvenile product stores…plus given its clear Hot Rod roots and the fact Bush was all over the middle-east, politically speaking it was a safe bet to opt for the Roddler.

Oddly enough, Montreal, however small and remote it is, its home to Dorel, and thus a large piece of the juvenile product business. Everyone is also 2 degrees of separation removed, so serendipitous as it be, one round of Jewish geography got me the ear of the CEO. I think I sold him on my passion so they signed NDA and executives came right over. Bear in mind, none of us have kids or had even pushed a stroller before the Roddler. His people were floored at the innovation and convinced me to beg and plead to show administrators to get into ABC Kids despite the fact we had less than a month to create our show worthy prototypes. Since you already know the end of the story, it was the most incredible experience to have a product that you pour your soul into be so well received, best yet beating them all at their own game. Having been the left hand to the owner of American apparel [I say that only because he's a righty and well if you know him, trust me you'll understand] I was part and privy to the madness. He’s a global icon and marketing genius, and I am proud to say that despite his eccentricity, he was an incredible mentor. Since the show, we have batten down the hatches and have a clear vision on how we intend on being a force to be reckoned with. We have even been consulting for some of the industry leading companies so we can help to rent our passion to beautify the conventional product offerings before we become one. When else can you harness the 3 young creative minds and industry pioneers and have them make consumer products for kids their passion. That is the formula for beautiful things to come.

We are certainly working our way through the professional sports figures and are working through Hollywood scene. Lebron James’ Roddler took an award at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA. For those of you who don’t know, that’s the industries largest Hot Rod convention. That’s unheard of, it’s a stroller. We have one coming out for Carmelo Anthony now. I actually prefer the athletes to celebs, they are so much more down to earth and there’s never a camera around. Give it a few weeks till it heats up in Los Angeles and I’m sure we will be hard to miss.
