No Maternity traffic welcomes the rejection of the recommendation on surrogacy by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). This text pretended to protect the children from the consequences of surrogacy but did not condemn this practise.
For No Maternity Traffic, "Pretending to deal with the consequences of a practise which is unfair and opposed to the Human Rights without condemning the very practice of surrogacy equals to justifying it."
No Maternity Traffic continues its commitment for the effective prohibition of surrogacy.
A petition, of more than 100,000 signatures lead by our collective was declared admissible by the Bureau of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to be taken into account in the debates concerning this report. These European citizens demand the prohibition of surrogacy in all its forms.

[Under Construction–Launching 2019]
Empowering Physicians Through Art, Technology and Conversation.
Hi there! I'm Pranathi. I'm an author, physician & human explorer.
My writing and ideas focus on restoring human connection back into medicine & combating physician burnout. After a decade of frustrating medical practice, I embarked on non-medical adventures to find non-traditional answers to these problems.
Interested? Sign-up below for The Seven-Minute Sunday Stethoscope. A weekly, short email newsletter. Receive a free email course when you sign-up below.
Hi, I'm Pranathi. I'm am an author, physician and explorer-in-chief!
Due to her frustration with clinical medicine, in 2015 Dr. Kondapaneni set out on a series of adventures to help improve communication in the medical office and combat physician burnout. These adventures have varied from comedy routines to classes on artistic visual observation. Pranathi enjoys exploring other disciplines in order to empower physicians to improve communication and combat burnout.
She lives in Michigan but has travelled to many countries, including Australia, India, Chile, and South Africa. She also likes traveling around the United States. She enjoys listening to audiobooks and podcasts, the smell of coffee in the a.m., sipping on a good cup of tea, and soaking up culture through art, architecture, food, or a great movie.
Pranathi's Books.
The secret to opening physician-patient communication channels, reducing physician burnout, and achieving real results for patient health outcomes lies in the embrace of technology.
In Prescription Technology, author Dr. Pranathi Kondapaneni shows healthcare stakeholders how current and future technology tools can be leveraged to reduce stress for the doctor and increase the patient's adoption of modified lifestyle behaviours.
What you'll discover:
- Why current deployment of technology is causing more problems for the physician than it solves, and how to change this issue.
- How remote-monitoring and voice-first technologies will soon play an important role in healthcare.
- Why artificial intelligence is huge game-changer for patient-physician communication.
- How adopting gamification concepts can strengthen the human connection between doctor and patient.
Imagine never again having to suffer through another electronic medical record meltdown or worry about where to find time to update patient charts. In Prescription Technology, explore how technology can solve the dysfunction caused by a system that perversely values economic incentives over patients' health.
Dr Kondapaneni has written this book for physicians and medical leaders, but technology professionals may also find it useful in learning how physicians regard current cumbersome technology tools, and how the growing impact of technology can benefit patient care.
Are you a physician and wondered why on earth you went to medical school? Are you a loved one who is watching your physician friend or family member suffer? Are you somebody who wonders if there is a solution to physician burnout?
If you answered yes, to any of the questions above, you will find much needed remedies in an unlikely source: comedy.
In Prescription Comedy, author Dr. Pranathi Kondapaneni takes you on her personal transformation of a burned-out shell of a physician to a healed survivor. What started out as an exercise in communication by entering a writing competition turned into a three journey through comedic improvisation, stand-up comedy and comedic writing.
What you'll discover:
- The array of stressors which lead to physician burnout and the cost on our profession.
- How tools from the world of comedy can empower physicians through improved communication.
- Why comedy life lessons can defeat physician burnout.
- How one physician's journey through comedy can provide a roadmap for your own personal recovery.
Imagine never having to suffer the pure physical and emotional exhaustion of medicine, taking the time to find compassion for yourself and re-gaining your self-confidence. In Prescription Comedy, explore how a professional system which devalues physicians can be conquered through comedy.
Dr Kondapaneni has written this book for physicians, loved ones, medical leaders or anyone who has concerns of the state of physician burnout. It is time to regain the power of the physician.

First things first: Test your smoke alarm. If you have carbon monoxide detectors, you want to test those too. Double check that trees, menorahs, candlesticks, fabric, paper, and anything else flammable is at least three feet away from all heaters, stoves, and fireplaces at all times.
Christmas trees
The Red Cross recommends you buy an aluminum or plastic tree, but we know they're just not the same as the real thing. When picking out a real tree, bend the needles. They should bend without snapping in half. Then give the tree a shake and see how many needles fall off (it shouldn't be many). Finally, give it a sniff. Depending on the type of tree, you should get a piney fresh scent.
Give your tree a lot of water, top it up at least once a day, and try to keep a gallon of water in the stand at all times. Keep water levels above the cut. If the water line dips below the cut for too long, the tree will try to heal the injury and you'll have to make a fresh cut to ensure the tree stays hydrated.
When buying string lights, check the box and make sure it says they're UL-listed, which just means they've been independently tested for safety. Throw out any strings that get hot to the touch, or that have broken bulbs or frayed wires. When plugging string lights end to end, make sure you don't connect too many. The packaging will tell you how many you can safely connect, but the general rule of thumb is three strings, max.
Menorahs and candles
Keep a close watch on candles, or go without them entirely. The electric versions have gotten brighter and more realistic in recent years — you can even find some scented varieties. Check that candles are snug and secure in their holders; one loose candle could fall out and start a fire.
If your child comes home with a craft menorah, don't light it. They're usually made from paper, cardboard, glue, and other very flammable materials. Young kids shouldn't light candles on their own. If your kids are old enough to light the menorah, take a little extra time and show them how to pull their hair back and be aware of their sleeves. You've been lighting candles for years and these precautions are automatic for you. But your kids may be brand new to fire safety.
In the kitchen
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Around the holidays, we're cooking more and stress levels are heightened, so it's extra important to be careful. Get in the habit of turning your pans so that the handles point toward the center of the stove.
If you haven't already, make it a rule to keep potholders and towels off the stove, even when the burners aren't on. If you happen to turn on the wrong burner, that towel you tossed on the stove can catch fire before you even notice your mistake.
Keep kids out of the kitchen when making latkes or any other deep fried foods. Oil is especially dangerous and easy to spill. If oil does catch fire, don't throw water on it; that could just splatter the oil and spread the fire. Instead, cover it with a lid or another pot and turn off the stove. If you don't have a lid, your next best bet is baking soda. But be warned: It takes a lot of baking soda to extinguish a grease fire. And if all else fails, you can use a regular fire extinguisher. Just know that, depending on the chemical it uses, it can make a big mess.
With a few simple precautions, you can greatly reduce your risk of fire and enjoy a safe holiday season. Did we leave anything out? Comment below or find us on Twitter and Facebook and let us know what you and your family do to stay safe during the holidays.

Best Portable Baby Playard Comparison 2018
Taking care of your baby doesn't have to take 100% of the time you have at home or even outdoors. By simply going through the best portable baby playard comparison contained in this post, you'll definitely find a tool to keep your baby busy while you are doing your thing.
In those scenarios like woodworking, gardening or home cleaning, a baby playard becomes practically useful. Regardless of your budget or brand preference, find what you want here is very certain.
For new moms, guardians or grandparents, these things also work well in travel situations. In the following paragraphs, these baby playard reviews will help you spot what makes each one different from the other. With that comparison, identifying the best fit for your needs should become easier.
Before we move on to the best portable baby playard comparison, here are the main factors to consider in this buying guide.
For the budget conscious buyer, you can be sure that these are the best portable baby playards under $200 in 2018. So you can be sure that all of them are relatively affordable.
Graco Pack 'N Play Playard With Newborn Napperstation
Depending on your choice, you can get a multiplicity of attachments with this option. You can load it up and get it into a much higher range with all sorts of options: attachable changing tables, baby rockers, music players, vibrations, etc. With all those options, expect to spend something around $150-200.
You'll have a great playard, but you'll also have a very heavy (37 pounds!) and cumbersome playard with lots of peripheral parts to lose, break, and replace batteries in.
Graco has ruled the playard market for over a decade now, so much so that their trademarked name "Pack N Play" has become a more common term than playard. It's big, heavy, cumbersome, and not great for anything other than car travel.
But it's sturdy, well built, and has basically any feature you can imagine having in a playard - except for an ultra-portable carrying case or zippered side.
JOOVY Room Playard and Nursery Center
As one of the best low cost baby playards, you can access your baby diapers and nursery essentials easily with the JOOVY Room Playard. This is an all-in-one nursery center that can carry your child from birth up to when they're 35 inches tall.
It comes in a teal shade, making it blend in with virtually any décor. The detachable bassinet has a comfortable height and can hold any kid who is below 15 pounds in weight. The changing table is equally sturdy with a weight capacity of 25 lbs. And, when you're not using the table, just flip it over to create more playing space.
If you're scouting for a playpen with a host of compartments, look no further than the JOOVY Room Playard. The diaper section allows you to carry all the necessities you need, home and away. Not to forget that you can do away with the bassinet when your kid outgrows it.
Lotus Travel Crib and Portable Baby Playard
With this one it only takes 15 seconds to set up the Lotus Travel Crib. It is beautiful, highly portable, has a clean line and art-inspired graphics that make it stand out. The outer fabrics are remarkably soft, and the modern colors add flair to an already great playard.
All these features combine to make this unit the ultimate "everywhere" crib. It lets you carry your baby to your friend's dinner, at the airport or playgroup. The Lotus Travel Crib could as well be the lightest playard on the market.
The Lotus Travel Crib makes it easy for your tot to have fun while giving you space to attend to other issues. Its frame has no flame retardants, PVC or phthalates. It may comfort you to know that this playard meets the GREENGUARD GOLD standards for chemical emissions
Summer Infant Pop N' Play Portable Playard
This portable baby playard comes in at 48" wide and about 26" tall. At 14 square feet of play area this is the largest playard on our list.
Based on past user experiences, this Summer Infant Pop And Play playard was found perfect for car travel to the beach or park, great for an indoor ball pit or out in the yard, but less suitable for travel by plane. Even completely folded up in the included carrying case, it's just way too big for that type of travel.
The mattress is fine, but not really comfortable for sleeping. So overall, you're getting a very large, sturdy, and well-constructed playard that is great for some particular uses. So why so far down on our list? Well, the architecture of the playard is a bit unfortunate with the cross-bars all around the sides. The mesh netting is a bit loose, so a few things happened during our testing.
First, one 20-month baby quickly climbed right out by pushing his foot to stretch the netting and climbing on the cross bars. Second, when we used it as a ball pit, one toddler bonked his head on the cross bars. There are some ways to solve this, for instance by placing foam pipe insulation (or even pool noodles!) on the bars, but that seems like a bit of work that should have been done by the company in the first place.
In any event, we definitely think this is a great playard, but you will need to do something about to pad the cross bars.
Safety 1st Happy Space Play Yard
Your little one will have the time of their life in this pleasant playard. He or she will spot fun toys that attach to the side which makes it even more fun. You can even toss in a few more dolls to keep your kiddo entertained as you do your thing around the house.
And when it's time to move, be sure to use the storage pockets strategically placed along the outside to carry baby items. Plus, you can always rely on the robust feet to keep this play yard steady. Meanwhile, the carry bag guarantees hassle-free to trips to grandma's house or vacation.
This could very well be one of the best portable baby playards for anyone looking for a spacious yet handy unit to amuse the young tot.
It is truly pack-able and convenient, whichever way you look at it.
Graco Pack 'n Play Travel Lite Crib Playard
For moms that travel a lot with their family, this model will be the best pack 'n play with bassinet to choose. The extremely light weight of fewer than 20 pounds, convenient size, and push-button fold make it easy to pack and carry this item.
The model comes with a comfortable carrying bag for perfect portability.
A space-saving design allows placing it in a hotel room easily, yet providing your baby with enough room for rest and games. Airy mesh sides make it suitable even for the warmest climate. The bassinet of this playard is equipped with an original canopy with a cute toy bar which appears to be both protective for excessive sunlight and entertaining your little bundle of joy during their active periods.
However, the reviews mark some flaws in addition to the advantages. First of all, the mattress isn't waterproof so it's better to consider having an additional pad. Some buyers also report that this model is a bit pricier than an average pack 'n play, so you have to decide if you have extra money to spend on it.
As for price, here is one of the coolest options you can find under $100.
So whatever the factor that matters most to you, you can possibly find them with one the best portable baby playard comparison detailed here. One thing to keep in mind is to do the set up immediately after arrival so that if you find any defects, you can be able to return within the acceptable duration.
6 Factors to Consider Before You Buy Baby Thermometer
A baby thermometer is a gauge that measures and displays the body temperature of your baby. Most new age moms know that a baby thermometer is a must-have first aid tool in her baby's pack bag. Before concluding the high temperature is as a result of fever you have to do a round of testing so not to waste money and time on doctor's appointment when you are not sure it actually needs a doctor's attention.
Besides crying and feeling helpless your baby is just a child and can barely express his feelings. Though the thermometer will not treat your baby's illness but it will alert you to any infection or illness.
As such, many moms try to buy baby thermometer that are accurate and reliable. You would not want to put your baby's fate on a device that is not reliable, so how do you pick a trustworthy thermometer?
Important Things To Consider Before You Buy Baby Thermometer Online
Here are the six (6) most important things to consider while buying a baby thermometer;
1. Precision: The first and most important thing to consider is the accuracy of your choice thermometer. If it is not accurate then what is the use of having it? Babies are very fragile, what you consider a little fever could be life threatening thus you must buy baby thermometer with 100% accuracy not one with near precision or estimated results.
2. Age: The different types of thermometers are recommended for different ages. You must be sure to buy one that is appropriate for your baby's age. Multi-use and rectal thermometers are advisable to use for newborns as they give the most accurate readings.
3. Consistency: It is not enough to give accurate values; you should consider how consistent its accuracy is. You would not want a thermometer that gives accurate reading only at the first trial. The thermometer must be accurate all the time. Consistency is just as important as its accuracy.
4. Speed: Your baby is crying profusely with his body as hot as boiling water, you would not want a thermometer that takes all day to give result in this moment, would you? Of course not! I would not want such too. Thus, speed should be included in the features you check for while buying a baby thermometer.
5. Measurement: You should get a thermometer that is easy to read. Some moms do not understand values displayed in Fahrenheit. If you are such, then get one calibrated in Celsius degrees to avoid confusion.
6. Easy to clean: Most of these thermometers come in contact with your baby's body as such it should be clean always. Do not buy a baby thermometer with ridges or features that can hide germs. It is a lot easier to get a thermometer that is easy to clean.

Ease Of Use
The Expedition earned a rating of 7 out of 10 for easy usage, below other strollers like Burley Solstice and Urban Glide 2 which both had a rating of 9 and 8 respectively.
The Expedition scored a 5 out 10 making it obvious that it's not the best option for parents who are runners. Also, it doesn't have an adjustable tracking but it can run straight and certainly not to veer off course excessively. Although, it can slightly pull to the side when it is being used at higher speed, however, it can easily back tip to get it back on course or turn the fixed wheel.
There is also an absence of an adjustable handle bar. Interestingly, this might create a little difficulty in establishing a perfect running biomechanics.
The Expedition has brakes that are "double action" and for the brakes to be fully engaged there is a need to press two pedals. Over time, parents are likely to become unbothered to press these two pedals or even forget to. These pedals are slightly stiff, making it unfriendly to sandal foot, and the underside of each pedal is rough.
Folding And Unfolding
You'll hardly break a sweat when folding The Expedition. It is two-handed and the fold is initiated when the side levers are slid up and then pulling on the handle placed under the seat. The Expedition also features a fold lock that is manually operated, and it self-stands as well. The front wheel can be released and removed to achieve a more compact fold, although this jogger stroller folds smaller than most average jogger stroller with the wheel intact.
This jogger stroller has a canopy that is average in size, with the inclusion of a mesh peek-a-boo window which is small in size. The canopy on The Expedition provides little protection on the sides and it is not large enough to cover the knees of the child, however, it does have a visor that provides more protection, this allows the entire canopy to rotate to the front for headwinds or low sun.
This Baby Trend jogging stroller has an extra-large under seat storage bin. This bin can be reached from any side, and its maximum weight is just 5 lbs., which is the lowest. This stroller also has a parent consolefeaturing two cup holders, a storage compartment that can be closed (located above right), and a child's tray which also has two cup holders. This tray swings up on a side for an easy access to the seat.
On a range of 1 to 10, The Expedition earned a 5-point harness level, which means it is fairly easy to put on and to take off. In addition, it is quite easy to adjust and has shoulder straps to adjust the height and adjustable crotch straps. Though there are no padded straps, and to release the harness, each side strap has to be released separately from the buckle; but generally, The Expedition has one of the simpler harnesses.
The Expedition jogging stroller has a single-handed recline that can be easily used and it is deep enough for your child to nap in. When the seat back is reclined, it has ventilation that can be shielded during a cold weather. The edge of the seat is soft to touch and it curves down at a really comfortable angle.
Easy To Setup
It takes about eight minutes to set up this jogging stroller from unpacking to ready to roll.
For maneuverability, The Baby Trend Expedition jogging stroller got a rating of 8 of 10, which is the second highest; just below Urban Glide 2, same score with Grand Safari, Revolution Flex, Turismo and above Solstice, Summit X3, Glide 2, Terrain, Arrow, Ironman, Chicco TRE, and Sport Utility.
It is really easy to push and turn the Expedition on a flat surface. It can make it through an obstacle course without hitting any object; the Expedition does not also need a pre-planned turning.
The jugging stroller has a shorter wheelbase and a narrower width that makes turning stress-free and it is easy to push due to the lighter weight. Pushing the Expedition off-road is totally easy as it can roll over the grass and gravel easily.
The handlebar of the stroller isn't adjustable, though it has an upward curve mid-bar and a rubber covering.
This baby trend doesn't have any suspension. The Expedition has a hard seat back that isn't comfortable like the sling style seat. It is safe to say this jogging stroller isn't the most comfortable or the best option for pushers or passengers and not exactly a good choice for long-distance running.
The baby trend stroller had a rating of 6 of 10 for good quality. Compared to the level of competition, this is fairly low; but considering the cheap price, it isn't such a surprise. The Expedition scored below some other products like Glide 2, Ironman, Urban Glide 2, Revolution Flex, Sport Utility, Solstice, Terrain, Summit X3 and Chicco TRE.
The fabric on the jogging stroller is durable, though it feels rough.
This baby trend has a frame made from steel with some flex at the hinge point and also some plastic connections where the baby trend jogging stroller folds.
This steel frame has no shocks; it is small and has exposed connection points. The parts made of plastic fit comfortably on the frame and are well- finished, everything fits well but it is not exactly as tight as most people would expect for a jogging stroller. The Expedition stroller has metallic wheels with rubber tires filled with air.
This expedition jogging stroller features a child tray and a parent console which leaves few accessories left to be purchased.
The stroller also has a really nice rain cover. The rain cover is specifically made for strollers in the Expedition line. This provides protection for the child from both wind and rain. The rain cover is manufactured with a clear polyvinyl and it is attached to the Velcro straps.
When the rain cover is not in use, it folds a little so it can fit snugly in the stroller pocket.
Bottom Line
This concise baby trend expedition jogging stroller review has all the important details needed by parents that are planning to purchase a jogging stroller for their child.
Furthermore, most baby trend jogging stroller reviews agree with the fact that – for hundreds of dollars less, the Expedition jogging stroller isn't so far behind other premium brands of jogging strollers.
Among any other interesting factors, this stroller provides the service that's even worth more than its price. Moreover, it can withstand a multitude of terrain and very much pocket-friendly.
Conclusively, if you intend to purchase a jogging stroller capable of providing sufficient comfort for both you and your child, the baby trend expedition jogging stroller is the best choice and highly recommended in most reviews when you want to buy a baby jogging stroller online.

Front Mounted Child Bike Seat
For aver long time now, Front mounted child bike seats have been in use and they are gaining more popularity in North America. The keybenefit of a front mounted seat is better passenger experience, and the major disadvantage of certain models is the uncomfortable and awkward steering and stance while riding (rider will have to be riding bow-legged so as to accommodate the front seat).
Special Note: If the bike seat mounts on your stem, you need to have sufficient space for the mount.
If the seat sits on the bike frame which is on the cross bar, you have to make sure the frame is large enough to accommodate the front child seat, and allow you get on and off the bike safely. To be on the safe side, you should try the front mounted child beak seat with your bike before you buy.
For the above stated reasons, other child bike seat reviews also agree that this type of bike seat is best for taller cyclists who would want to converse with their child easily and to keep an eye on them at the same time.

What to Look For in a Child Bike Seat
The importance of easy installation of a child bike seat and its compatibility with your bike can't be over emphasized. Some other important features include a quick-release bracket for times when you are cycling without your kid and you don't want the additional weight, and a lock to prevent the seat from getting stolen.
Some other considerations include:
Size And Age Of Child
Front mounted bike seats are smaller than the rear mounted seats. Front mounts are the most suitable for kids that weigh 33 pounds or between 9 months to 3 years old. The older or larger your child gets, the more personal space they take from you, hence, it is best for taller or larger kids to ride in the rear.
A seat with a 5-point harness is preferable to a 3-point harness that a kid could slide out of. Ensure the straps are in place and that they are done up correctly all the time. Many child bike seat models have child-proof buckles too.
Weight Of The Seat
The less the weight of the seat, the less you carry. However, a really light- weighted may have less impact resistance and can be less comfortable as well. You should check the kind of materials used in the seat and make sure the cushions are comfortable enough for your child.
Height And Weight Maximums
Height and Weight MaximumsThis will affect the life-span of your child bike seat. Majority of the front mounted bike seatsor the rear mount are good until the child weighs about 40 pound (though this varies between manufacturers).

The cameras of both the Motorola MBP36s Infant Optics DXR-8 and Motorola Mbp36are specially built, allowing you to see your child very clearly. Most cameras don't function properly in the dark, as you won't be able to see things clearly, but that is not the case with the Infant Optics DXR-8 and Motorola Mbp36.
The developers have thought about your child having a sound sleep, which may involve turning off the light, making the room dark. For this reason, they added infrared LEDs making it possible for you to see your child, no matter how dark the room is.

Additional Features
The manufacturers ofboth the Infant Optics DXR-8 and Motorola Mbp36 have really done justice to their respective baby monitors,as they incorporated unique standard extra features which you might find amusing and cool.
Every toddler needs to be monitored closely because infants are curious in nature and would want to experiment with every little idea that flashes through their innocent minds. For this reason, the Infant Optics DXR-8 is manufactured with three different lenses which can be easily switched.
There is a close up lens, which in addition to the standard lens can be used to view all the motions and movements your little angel is making.
When your infant begins to crawl or walk, you need to increase your surveillance, as toddlers that have begun to crawl or walk get into trouble pretty fast. This is where a panoramic lens is required, but you have to buy it as a separate unit, as it doesn't come with the pack.
Singing sweet melodies into the ears of your child is one of the joys of parenthood, as you would literally sing them to sleep.
Children love to be cuddled and pampered, and as a parent, one way to pamper your little angel is by singing sweet bed time songs, making them sleep happily and have a good dream. But what if you don't have the time or opportunity to sing your little one to sleep?
Well, if there isn't much time onyour side and if you don't have theopportunity, there isn't any need to worry, as the manufacturers of the Motorola Mbp36, which is one of the best Motorola baby monitor, have got you covered. With the gift of the lullaby option, your baby can still enjoy sweet songs before going to bed, and it will also make your child fall asleep quickly. On the display screen of the Motorola Mbp36, you will find five lullaby options. If you wish, you can play just one song and after the song finishes, it stops. Alternatively, you can choose to play all five songs continuously.
Together with the lullaby feature, the Motorola MBP36s comes with another added feature which is the alarm.
Don't worry, your baby won't be disturbed when the alarm sounds, as it won't sound on the camera itself, rather, the alarm will sound on the display case. This alarm, which can be set for a period of two, four or six hour, will beep for 45 seconds on your display screen. As it beeps, the alarm icon will flash red.
This guide draws a comparison based on various aspects such as the camera quality, display screen and extra features, among others. I am sure that after going through this baby monitor buying guide, you'll find a reason to make up your mind on which to go for.

As you search for the best baby monitor online, I hope that with this Infant Optics DXR-8 VS Motorola Mbp36 Comparison, you will be able to make the right choice of baby monitor to purchase for your little angel.
Best Infant Car Seat Reviews Under $150 in 2018
Babies love car seats mostly for the smooth drive, the lush feel of comfort and the
privacy (yea, children love privacy too) that such little space avails them. Choosing
the right infant car seat for your child just by strolling through the avalanche of
products on Amazon can be a daunting task.
This is especially true when you take notice of the factors that make up a great car seat such as durability, weight, safety, size and ease of use. Here our best infant car seat review considers all of these factors and more in the selection process.
In this post, you'll find a variety of infant car seats from different competitors. This is to provide a comprehensive review that helps you choose the best infant car seat with all of the features you may need. And you don't have to break the bank to buy one. Here are the best infant car seats you can get for a hundred and fifty dollars or less in 2018.
Safety First Onboard 35 Infant Car Seat
Among many other factors, safety is key in selecting the most appropriate car seat for your baby. Also important in this review is the protective feature of the Onboard 35 Infant Car Seat for babies with very active lifestyle. Its side impact protection system creates a cushioning effect that protects your baby's head even during movement.
We understand how important the ease of installation is, and that's why we checked to see if this car seat measured to standard. Its latch compatibility serves as a replacement for vehicle seat belt which makes it easy to integrate into your latch- equipped car. A Carry Curve handle also adds extra comfort for you and your baby while on the move. In order to ease the process of cleaning, Onboard 35 features a machine washable seat that makes cleaning easy for you should your child make a mess of it.
On the negative, this product is heavier than it appears. It can also be difficult to unlatch from the base which can be really distressful if you're transferring the seat often. You may also have to purchase a spare insert as the durability of that of this product after washing it a few times cannot be guaranteed. If you prioritize safety above everything else, alongside ease of installation and movement, we recommend that you buy this particular brand of infant car seat.
Graco SnugRide Click Connect, 30 Infant Car Seat
This is another work of genius on the list of best toddlers car seats we strongly believe will be suitable for your baby's needs. Unlike the Safety First Onboard 35 Infant Car Seat, the first noticeable trait about this product is its ultra-lightweight feature that eases mobility as well as maneuverability both indoors and while on the move. It attaches to all Graco SnugRide Click Connect strollers (sold separately) with a secure one-step attachment to create that travel system perfect for every moment. Having passed a rigorous crash test to comply with US safety standards, we can confidently say that Graco Snugride offers your child adequate protection in the likeness of apex infant car seats. This car seat is suitable for children up to 2 years old weighing between 4-30 pounds and not with more than 32 inches in height.
The product's fabric we observed appeared too coarse for a newborn. The straps also lack padding and may result in some discomfort especially in the neck area of your child. You can get this solved by purchasing any suitable infant insert to give your baby that soothing feel. We think the goodness this economically feasible car seat brings to you far outweigh its cons and that going for it will be one of the best decisions you can make in grooming your baby with ease.
Maxi-Cosi Mico Ap Infant Car Seat
Our best infant car seat reviews' list of products within the $150 purchase price will be largely incomplete if we ignore this one. It is a powerful car seat encapsulating a rich array of features that place it in the ivy league category.
Its ergonomic design makes it a formidable car seat for all kinds of surfaces including rocky and snowy surfaces. It makes our list of safest car seats for infants due to its superior side impact performance feature with air protect technology that prevents excessive air access to your child.
The premium padding fabrics also provide a soothing feel that makes every ride enjoyable. Equipped with adapters for travel system with compatible Maxi-Cosi and Quinny strollers which puts it among the best infant car seat stroller combos if you would go for the stroller too. Maxi Cosi can also be attached to other feature-rich inserts readily available from the manufacturer.
Please check that your baby weighs not more than 22 pounds before buying this infant car seat. Most infant car seats can hold up to 35 pounds. However, this negation makes the Maxi-Cosi unlike the Graco Snugride and Safety First Onboard 35 Air suitable for only babies that weigh less and definitely not more than a year old.
We also observe that this car seat does not work with the 'snap and go' carrier from the baby trend as erroneously stated in the manufacturers answered questions. We assume the manufacturer didn't perform a test before ascribing such feature but looking into the light, this infant car seat is resplendent in a plethora of good qualities. This made it an excellent choice for the baby weighing not more than 22 pounds.
EvenFlow LiteMax 35 Infant Car Seat
If you desire an infant car seat that blends efficiency with convenience, this one could be the best match for you Its versatility and durability make it the right choice for those on the search for long-lasting baby car seats. The easy to install base is equipped with a 2-step vehicle belt lock-off for quick and easy installation.
Moreover, its seamless design features a well-padded seat beautiful crafted to maximize your child's comfort alongside a 4-recline option that enables you to adjust the car seat in the best dimension that soothes your baby. This product's lightweight feature eases carriage. For easy cleaning, the seat of the EvenFlow LiteMax 35 Infant Car Seat is machine washable. You may also remove the head and body when it is necessary for cleaning or replacement.
For snowy and rainy weather, this is probably not the best for you. Its canopy has a diminutive coverage that doesn't properly protect the baby if it should rain. You should also check that this car seat fits properly for your baby.
Among other things, the close-fitting structure might make it unsuitable for babies with big bodies. We think the versatility of this seat makes it perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll and that every great parent would love this infant car seat in the garage of their lovely child.
Baby Jogger 2016 City Go Infant Car Seat
One of the many reasons why you should consider the Baby Jogger City Go Infant Car Seat is the ease of installation even without a base when you're on the go in your car.
It comes with a simple latch button (saving you the stress of having to tie or clip) that quickens your installation if you decide to attach a base. This product also makes a good travel system when combined with your favorite baby stroller. Based on our research, everything about this blueprint rows towards giving you a superior ease of access engineered with enviable durability and maneuverability.
Adjusting the strap is easy, so is the recline. The head support is also nice and comfortable you may have no problem lulling your child to sleep in it.
As you would expect, not many of these infant car seats come without their cons. You cannot attach a baby jogger car seat to a baby jogger stroller without buying an additional (extra cost) baby jogger attachment. We also think the pads around the straps are not really soft.
But you'll still find it worth more than the money especially when you consider the size of its canopy and how it covers your baby from sunlight, rain, and snow whether you're outdoors on in transit. Parent will love it because, besides its aesthetically attractive. One outstanding thing is that the efficiency leaves not a lot more to desire in an infant car seat.
How To Find the Best Toddler Car Seat
Finding the best toddler car seat for your baby may require much research as you have envisaged. Actually, not many car seats are suitable for your baby's need. Some babies are small, others weigh more and therefore would require different infant seats for the best of childhood experience. Here are a few factors we think should influence your choice when you want to buy toddler seat online:
Your purse should influence your spending but having a low budget does not have to result in choosing low-quality products. There are a variety of quality products we think (see best infant car seat reviews above) you can choose from within the $150
Some toddlers car seat also come with strollers for easy movement making them a better choice if you move around with your baby a lot. However, the quality ones would cost more than a toddler car seat.
Ease Of Installation
If you need help installing the appurtenances of your baby's car seat, then we strongly advise you don't buy it. Easy installation eases usage and disassembling should you need to be on the move or fold your infant car seat while on transit.
Strength Of Material
Quality infant car seats are sourced from globally available materials that ensure durability and efficiency. All of the products we reviewed have been made to pass through certain tests to be sure they measure up to standard.
Whether you're looking for the infant car seat designed to serve generations or one that is just right for everyday use, only your baby's need can define what is perfect for you.
Since there's no perfect infant car seat for every baby, we recommend that you write down what you think your baby needs for an infant car seat, then voyage into the straps and rollers realm to find the excellent infant car seat with features streamlined to take care of all your baby's needs.

During the course of reading 4 year old kid bike reviews online, you may have learnt that kids' bikes are conventionally measured by the size of the wheel and not the frame. A 12 inched wheel size will be suitable for a 4 year old kid, getting a bigger bike with the thought that it will help your kid grow tall is only going to make riding less fun and more frustrating for your kid.
Remember That What You Pay For Is What You Get
When it comes to purchasing children bikes, parents tend to put price into consideration because they think the child will soon outgrow the bike and it may become useless in about 2 to 3 years' time, but they seem to forget or not bother about the fact that "good quality comes with a good price".
Nevertheless, it is possible to get an inexpensive bike which is of a better quality than an expensive one. This guide will provide a kid bike price comparison; and some information about the bike so you will know what type of bicycle to purchase for your kid under $200 without sacrificing quality 100%.
Give Your Kid a Chance to Choose
In most cases, children tend to be choosy when it comes to colors of anything; this is the same in the case of bicycles.
Even if you want to present the bike as a surprise, take your child with you to the store or check kids' bike for sale online together with them and tell him or her to choose a favorite bicycle color. This will save you from your kid throwing tantrums when you present the bike to him or her.
Get the Right Fit
Aside from a bicycle of the right size, your kid can also get an amazing riding experience with right adjustments made to the saddle, gear and paddle. You should make all necessary adjustments that best meet the needs of your kid. More joy of riding can be derived from a properly adjusted bike.
Make Sure The Bike Is Well Set
If you are purchasing the bike from an online store, ensure all the parts of the bike are properly set. You can take the bike to a local bike shop for some proper examination of all components like brakes, steering units, gears, saddle and paddle. You can as well request for a first ride test. If you are DIY person, you can carefully read the manual and set the bike according to instructions.
Make sure you get a tool kit that contains some basic tools like keys and wrenches. Unforeseen emergencies may occur and a tool kit can come in handy.
The Top Three Best Kid Bikes Under $200
Raleigh MXR 16 ($149)
The MXR tops the list of the best kid bikes under $200; it is impressively sturdy, well-designed and durable. It offers a smooth, fun and comfortable ride and it is fairly long-lasting. The bike has handlebars that are slightly lower which allows it to perform better, for kids that love adventurous rides and are likely to go over curbs or small jumps. Though, it is not recommended for really aggressive riders; but the best choice for adventurous riders that are on a budget.
Schwinn SmartStart ($99) (replace with a product available on Amazon)
The Schwinn SmartStart is available in various styles and they are a massive step up from inexpensive big-box store bikes. As it is, the Schwinn SmartStart is lighter than those kinds of bikes; it also provides state-of-the-art child-specific geometry which gives room for a more comfortable and stable ride for your kids. Although, the general design is stilla low-quality budget design and the price is much more affordable for most parents that are planning to buy a kid bike for sale online. The SmarrtStart Series comes with a handbrake, but then again it is poorly built and riders will have to depend on the coaster brake to stop the bike.
Diamondback Mini-Viper ($139)
This bike is best suitable for taller kids, considering the fact that the Mini-Viper has the tallest handlebars compared to that of the Raleigh MXR 16 and Shwinn SmartStart. The Diamondback has similar seat height range with the Schwinn, but the handlebars are 2 in. taller. The taller handlebars will protect children with longer torsos from bending over to hold unto the handlebars and it allows for sufficient room for growth.
Some other candidates of the best kid bikes under $200 include REI's Co-op REV, RoyalBaby Classic, Diamondback Mini Venom andNext Rocket/Flare.
If you want to save yourself the stress of going to a store to look for a bicycle that matches your price budget and you have no idea where to buy kid bike online, you can visit online stores like Amazon or others.
Quality of Build of the Candidates
The frames of kids' bikes hardly break, but the smaller parts of the bikes often experience breakage. Just like adult bicycles, it's often the quality of these smaller parts that determines the total cost of the bicycle. Though, determining the quality is subjective, but after assembling and checking how well the parts fit together, it indicates the quality of the bike.
In accordance with some other accurate 4 year old bike reviews, our three candidates are the best three bikes for a 4 year old under the budgetary price.
The Raleigh is believed to be the best kid bikes under $200 price point, due to its quality – thee components of the bike went together perfectly without noises or rattles while pedaling.
The Schwinn SmartStart has the lowest quality amongst the three as it requires series of tweaking to get the handbrake to function properly and it squeaks slightly when in use.
The Diamondback Mini Viper was of average quality between the three candidates. Although, not as solid as Raleigh but it hardly squeaks or rattles when in use.
You should remember that these bikes are some of the best in their price range, so you can only expect so much for the given price. One thing worthy of note is that you should endeavor to test anyone you end up buying. This will make possible for you do an acceptable return if there are any defects.

ATTENDANCE numbers at Mount Gambier's candidate debates are demonstrative of how "irrelevant" they are for most people, Labor candidate Isabel Scriven has claimed.
The political hopeful hit back at "old men with old men's ways" after coming under fire from candidates for declining an invitation to address a Mount Gambier Chamber of Commerce forum scheduled tonight.
Organisers cancelled the forum due to Ms Scriven and SA-Best candidate Kate Amoroso indicating they would not attend.
Ms Scriven claimed "low numbers" at the chamber and previous Limestone Coast Protection Alliance debates as proof they were ineffective in reaching the electorate.

ROH Final Battle 2017 'Cody vs. Castle' live coverage
The biggest Pay-Per-View event of the year for Ring of Honor and we're ecstatic to cover this event live right here at FightBoothPW with some help from the FITETV app.
Singles Match
Will Ospreay vs. Matt Taven
Matt Taven's entrance with TK O' Ryan and Vinny Marseglia is the stuff that dreams are made of. Taven's vision of The Kingdom is truly on display here at Final Battle. Hot start to this match. Both men go into high-flying mode and Taven is actually able to keep up with Ospreay, arguably the best frequent flyer in the game.
#FinalBattle is starting off hot with @WillOspreay and @MattTaven wasting no time taking to the air. pic.twitter.com/cSajdyRH6c
— ROH Wrestling (@ringofhonor) December 16, 2017
Ospreay eventually gets the best of him though until the fight goes to the outside. That's where TK and Vinny come in, as Taven is able to distract the easily distracted Todd Sinclair to allow his mates to soften up Ospreay. More hot action here. Picture perfect stuff from both guys. Ospreay gets a near fall of a crescent kick and 'off with your head' elbow blow (as Ian calls it )after some more non stop action.
.@MattTaven with a little payback. #FinalBattle pic.twitter.com/aHdiBiJEhp
— ROH Wrestling (@ringofhonor) December 16, 2017
Just really good chemistry between these guys. A beautiful opener that could easily end up being a main event feud no matter how you slice it. Taven ends up getting the pin after countering a OsCutter into a Climax. "This will be the last time that I'm ever at Final Battle and not leaving without gold around my waist. We're ending this Conspiracy right now," Taven says following his victory.
Winner: Matt Taven via pinfall
Tag Team Match
The Addiction vs. War Machine
Lots of pyro for War Machine's entrance. ROH is going big for their version of WrestleMania inside of the Hammerstein tonight. The action quickly spills to the outside with War Machine getting the best of Daniels and Kaz. The Addiction are able to slow things down and double up on Rowe to inflict their brand of veteran punishment. Rowe tags Hanson in who runs wild on Daniels and Kaz. He stacks Daniels on top of Kaz and unleashes 10 forearms. Some solid tag team wrestling here from War Machine. Daniels tries to get some cheap falls with some dirty tactics. Kaz with a lumbar check and an Unprettier on Rowe but Hanson breaks a near pinfall.
The big man has agility! #FinalBattle pic.twitter.com/UoSnu51QTi
— ROH Wrestling (@ringofhonor) December 16, 2017

MCMG mocks them by hugging in the center of the ring. Great Detroit Pistons reference from Ricabonni in regards to MCMG. Chuckie T gets the tag and runs wild on Sabin.

The press are very interested in this story, and although I now live in Ireland, I have worked for 15 years to try to bring it to fruition. Here are some of the questions I was asked and my responses…..
Who was it who came up with the name and plan for the route, and when were plans first established to develop it?
The Caithness Waybaggers first mooted a different route in 1992 but due to land owner problems, it did not go ahead. Then a plan was put together in 2008 for the route across the North Coast by the sponsors you can see on my web site at www.dunnethead.co.uk, as well as some others, but they were the main ones.
Is there an overseeing committee set up to manage the project, how many people are involved and do you have a breakdown of positions etc.?
No… this is the problem. THC did a consultancy report (I can send you a copy if you wish) but a committee could not be formed so I have continued to market the existing route.
How exactly do you see the route developing (signposts, ambassadors, visitor centres, maps, advertising, corporate sponsorship etc.)?
I would hope to have all of what you have mentioned, plus toilets! We could also have our own Rangers to supplement the ones in existence, and transport to help people who do not make it to the next stop. We could not rely on existing emergency services… they are already overstretched. This area is very remote, and some areas do not have broadband coverage.
I notice you state a lack of "public funds" for the route. Who have you approached for funding so far, and what success have you had?
HIE is currently being investigated by Gail Ross and Jill Rosie as they refuse to engage, and will not set up a simple meeting of public services. Roy Kirk initially said he would set up a meeting, then reneged on his promise. I have everything in writing.
THC paid £1000 for the consultancy report which was not done by me, and I have asked for funds for a land owner survey. Again, they have refused, so Mrs. Ross is also looking into this. Matt Dent, THC Access Officer, does a great job and we work well together. He is, however, only responsible for the Core Paths. There has been a recent review to which I had an input.
//Dounreay thought I should do all of the work before applying for funding – refer to David Shearer. The Dunnet Head Educational Trust was in existence then and we had a lot of support, but they would not even consider funding.**
In short, the project has had precisely £1000 of public funding – this to a consultant who was not familiar with the route.
SNH are fantastic… they always provide information and assistance, but without a community group or charity to take it forward, it will be a very long process.
I have suggested that the Scottish Government fund my company directly as there has been so much controversy and so many difficulties.
What exactly is your overall goal for the project?
You state below that you want a "route similar to the South West path in England… not a built path through but a way to go." Some might say "the way to go" already exists? How would you respond to that?
The overall goal is to have a route for horse riders, cyclists and walkers… all covered by the Scottish Outdoor Access Code to which I had an input in 2003. This would be the only multi use route in Scotland.
As stated, similar to the South West Path. Some of the "way to go" does exist but there is a lot of road work and many difficult sections outwith the Core Path plan.
Some people would say that there is already a "way to go"… What would your response be to that?
It is not all accessible for horses and cyclists, and there are big gaps.
What about NC500
NC500 is a great initiative. It has certainly put Caithness and Sutherland on the map. I think the North Highland Way would complement this and we should be thinking about sustainable tourism, not folk driving round the North Coast of Scotland and missing out as they are in their cars and want to get from A to B… they are missing out on the real beauty of the area… the wildlife, the environment, the tranquillity…
