5 Things To Know Before Buying A Car Seat

Using a car seat here in the Philippines is still not very common. Most parents think that a car seat is still not a necessity. We are one of those and I feel bad about it. Out of 5 kids, it was only with our last that we seriously thought of it. I wish we had sooner.

5 Things To Know Before Buying A Car Seat

Local brand vs imported brand? Always go for imported brand because the testing done on those products are very rigid. Imported brands such as Nuna convertible car seat goes through a lot of testing. And from time to time new tests are made.

Brand new or second hand? Since most car seat companies go through a lot of testing, what is considered safe a few years back may no longer be safe now. If you are going to use a second hand car seat, make sure that it is not too old. 3-5 years old car seat is a good option. Any car seat older than 5 years is not good.

When is the right time to buy a car seat? The right time to buy is during baby sales and of course before your baby is born. You will be using the car seat when the baby goes home from the hospital.

What’s the best type of car seat? Always go for car seats that can be used form birth up to when the baby is around 18-20Kgs. It can be pricey at first but it’s a really good investment. Just use baby carrier when you go out of the car. I love the wrap I use from Shadrach’s Collection.

What is the price range of a good car seat? A really good car seat that can be used from birth is usually around 10,000 Pesos and up. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a good discount from baby fairs.

Car seat is a non negotiable must buy baby gear.

Erceflora ProbiBears Review

A little back story before Erceflora ProbiBears Review: The worst case of stomach flu we had was last year. It started with Marius, then it was my turn then husband’s turn then the older kids.. Basically, everyone got affected by the flu. The worst part is, it went back to Marius! It was such a pain seeing our baby suffer from stomach flu twice!

You know what I hate most about stomach flu? WALANG GANA KUMAIN! Paano naman lalaki ang mga bata? Paano sila makaka recover if they can’t even eat? Iba kase ang feeling when you have that kind of flu. Para kang sukang suka na hindi. Para kang gutom pero busog. Basta parang nakabaligtad ang tyan mo. Hindi ka talaga makakain.

We survived through water and probiotics. Yan lang talaga the best na panlaban sa stomach flu.

Stomach flu happens when there is an imbalance of bad bacteria vs good bacteria in your stomach. This is viral and usually lasts for a day or two. Stomach flu is very manageable but can be life treating if not treated. It can cause death due to dehydration.

Probiotics are usually given to patients with stomach flu to help restore the balance of good and bad bacteria. Given to patients na nagkaka problema sa tyan. From that one would think na hindi pwedeng pang araw araw ang probiotics. There’s a kind of probiotics na hindi but we had the chance to try a new probiotics na pwedeng araw araw.

Erceflora ProbiBears Review

Erceflora ProbiBears just recently launched in the market. Pinadalhan kame for review and since sagana nga kame sa history ng stomach flu, I cannot miss the chance to review a product that could or may help us prevent or manage stomach flu.

FIRST IMPRESSION: MAGKANO KAYA ITO?

The SRP of Erceflora ProbiBears is Php540 per Box of 20s. That’s 27 Pesos per day. Medyo mahal sya ha but Erceflora ProbiBears does not only help in managing stomach flu. Any digestive health-related diseases gaya ng diarrhea at constipation, pwedeng makatulong ang ProbiBears sa anak ninyo.

Erceflora ProbiBears Review

In fact, in my research, a good balance of bad and good bacteria can help in boosting the immune system of the kid. Since balance ang loob ng tyan, mas maganda ang absorption ng nutrients. When nutrients are well absorb in the body, the body’s able to utilize it to restore and repair cells. In the long run, it does not only boost the immune system ng bata, nakakataba din sya! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

How about the taste? Ay dyan tayo medyo malulugi mga momshies! Masarap sya to the point that you have to control their intake. One bear is enough for the day. Pag dumalawa yan, hindi naman sasakit ang tyan pero siguradong sasakit ang bulsa ng nanay haha. It is reccommended for use for kids 3 years old and up. If you want to try it with your younger kids, ask your pedia first.

The first time I tried it for myself, medyo na disappoint ako because the bear is soft. It took me a while bago maalis sa packaging and it was no longer in good shape. Kaya naman pala, you need to put it in the refrigerator before consumption.

When is the best time to take Erceflora ProbiBears? Syempre ask your pedia din muna but sa akin, since some of my kids have weaker stomachs, I give them 1 bear a day.

How effective is Erceflora Probibears? From our experience, very effective! No more stomach flu attack since the day I started giving them Erceflora Probibears.

Advantage of Erceflora Probibears? It’s a 2-in-1 PROBIOBOOSTER of not just Lactobacillus acidophilus, but also Bifidobacterium lactis – good bacteria that help prevent gutproblems such as diarrhea, upset stomach, and other digestive illnesses to help keep kids happy and healthy every day.
It’s the delicious and healthy way to strengthen your child’s tummy in yummy chewable bears

Where to buy Erceflora ProbiBears? Available na sya sa Mercury Drug ngayong July.

Traveloka and Its Multiple Airline Partners is a Mom’s Best Friend When Booking Flights!

As a mom, I make it a habit to canvass before making purchases. Whether or not I have to shell out a small or big amount, I’m the type of person who’d feel much better knowing that I made the purchase after a sound decision. This is applicable for everything from gadgets, appliances to even travel deals!

When booking flights for my family, there are a lot of things to take into consideration – which may sometimes mean a bigger price tag (especially when asking for more leg room, bigger baggage check-in and more). This is why I constantly scour airline websites looking for the best deals – but now, with Traveloka, I don’t have to go through such a tiring and time-consuming process anymore.

With the Traveloka App or website, I can easily go through over 20 partner airlines in one go – checking which flight matches my travel dates, budgets and needs. Depending on our destination, I can easily book Air Asia flights with Traveloka or flights with Jetstar, Cathay Pacific, Asiana, or Singapore Airlines.

I also love how I can easily compare all the details of the available flights by using the built-in filters in the Traveloka App. If I want a direct flight to our destination or if I want a flight that will leave at six in the morning, I can arrange the results to show those flights with just a few clicks. I can also sort the flights according to price, time of departure or arrival, or the ones with the shortest travel time.

What’s more, all the prices shown in the search results is already the final amount that you will pay. Yes, even the international carriers! Having a big family means I’m really particular about our budget, and the hidden fees from other booking websites is never a good thing. So for Traveloka to show me the actual, final price that I have to pay is a real plus.
