Keeping Baby Warm with JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me

*Disclosure: The opinions expressed in this review are those of Kim from Party of Five. Products were provided. 

Kim is here with two great giveaways for both my and baby! Enjoy.

I am a busy Mom of 3 kids, soon to be 4! We are often on the go, weather it be Baseball practice, games, dance class or finding cool places to take the kids. During the cooler months it's hard to keep a new baby bundled up the correct way without doing the MAJOR No-No's. It is NOT safe to have baby in a coat in either the infant seat or a car seat. To solve that problem we use the JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me!

I know you may be thinking, " A Bundle Me, now in April?" Yes, I am due in September and weather we believe it or not, it's coming fast! { trust me, my countdown is quickly reaching the 100 day mark!}

I need something that will keep this babe nice and warm especially during the Fall baseball season and the upcoming winter months.

We were sent the Urban Bundle Me in Nordic Blue to review. We had an Original Bundle Me when Olivia was born and LOVED it. It attaches to the car seat super easy,within 2 minutes and allows the straps to rest directly on the child.

Here I simply unzipped the Urban Bundle Me and placed on the infant seat.

I attached the strap around the back of the infant seat. {shown here is a Graco }

Then I simply placed the car seat straps to my desired height level and secured the velcro in the back. 

Easy peasy!

After I zipped the Urban Bundle Me back up and Viola! All set for babe!

There is a small pocket on the side which zippers and is perfect for storing your keys.

The quilted outer nylon of the Urban Bundle Me protects against wind and rain while the luxuriously soft inner thermaplush™ adds style and warmth.

• use with car seats, strollers, and joggers
• wind and water resistant
• machine washable
• removable top for easy temperature control
• allows safety straps to rest directly on child
• crash tested- FMVSS 213 (more info)

The Urban Bundle Me comes in two sizes Infant $49.05 and Toddler $59.95. It also comes in 7 color choices!

Now, when you are out and about with 4 kids, 3 of which are under 5 you need a super stylish, functional diaper bag, right? I was sent the JJ Cole Caprice Bag in Silver Drop to review.

 I am in LOVE with this bag. There are pockets everywhere! I always tend to carry way too much stuff and always need extra room. With the Caprice Diaper Bag, the room is there.

The front has a nice zippered compartment to store some credit cards/store loyalty cards plus some cash tucked away in the other pocket. This is super helpful to me since I can never find my wallet in any diaper bag I have ever owned!

another zippered pocket

and another. These aren't super deep but things like pacifiers and such can be stored in them.

There are two insulated bottle pockets { 1 on each side }

In the above spot there is a changing pad that fits easily inside.

The changing pad is a nice size for infants.

Inside the Caprice Diaper Bag there are 4, yes 4 pockets for storage and organization. Whoohoo for an organized diaper bag!

The JJ Cole Caprice Diaper Bag also comes with a super nice padded shoulder strap that can be removed if desired.

And 2 grips { stroller attachments }

Here they are attached to the stroller, This makes keeping your bag at your fingers much easier and the basket in your stroller free for other items.

High fashion meets function in this stylish tote. Choose from three carrying options including stroller straps, a padded shoulder strap, and tote handles. Ten pockets inside and out allow you to keep everything at your fingertips, all while looking effortlessly chic.

My thoughts:

I am very familiar with JJ Cole. In fact my first diaper bag for little M was the System 180 bag. I loved it and got compliments on it all the time. I was thrilled to be asked to review their diapers and wipes pod, bottle pod, and bib set.

First I have to say I love how stylish JJ Cole Collections are. I prefer baby stuff to look stylish rather than cute since I will be the one toting it all around.  I love having the option of just carrying around a bottle pod and diapers and wipes pod instead of a full diaper bag. This comes in handy when I leave baby in the nursery and don’t want to leave my bag with my keys and wallet.

The bib set has become my favorite bib to take with me. I love that I can feed little H then use a wipe to wipe down the bib and put it right back in my diaper bag. Also the prints are so adorable and little H loves to look at his bib while I get his food ready. I holds up in the washer too.

What I LOVE about all the products is that they are pvc and phthalate free. This is very important to me since little H puts everything in his mouth. These products are very reasonably priced.

I would suggest purchasing these products for on the go. We use the bibs every day and I always keep one in my diaper bag. I also keep the diapers and wipes pod in the car for the nursery and quick visits that don’t require a full diaper bag.

Now the best part is that JJ Cole wants to make another mom’s life easier and is allowing us to host a giveaway! Thanks JJ Cole Collections.
