Go With: Boon Squirt & Beaba Babypote

Why We Like Them: The Boon Squirt is made for moms and babies on the go. Fill the spoon with baby food at home and take it with you for fully prepped mealtime when you’re out and about. When your child is bit older and can eat more independently move up to the Babypote from Beaba, the company behind the Babycook. This smart squeezable container is perfect for homemade purees or yogurt on the go. Both products are made from BPA-free and dishwasher safe.

Go! The Boon Squirt is available in Orange, Blue or Pink for $7.99 and the Beaba Babypote is $24.99.

We’re On the Go in March. Check out all of our travel picks and
shop for many of them in The Shopping Mama’s Amazon store.

I don’t think I can possibly overstate how much I adore Boon products. From Squirt to the original Bug Pod to the Flair Highchair, every product is innovative, bold and parent-friendly. And, after visiting the Boon booth at the ABC Kids Expo in September, I can tell you they have even more amazing products on the way.

About Boon

We’re committed to creating nothing but the most innovative gear—and keeping it affordable. Our design studio is always in motion, tackling one parenting challenge after another. And don’t forget our commitment to quality and safety.

Eat in Style

The Boon Flair Highchair is not your mother’s highchair! It’s sleek, modern and above all else, functional. The seat base is seamless making clean up a breeze with no nooks and crannies for food to hide. The seat pad is soft on baby’s tush, is waterproof and removes easily. And, get this, the Flair has a pneumatic lift seat height adjustment so you can position it perfectly for your little one.

There are a couple other features that make boon a great fit for joining the family dining table. The shape of the base pedestal keeps the chair sturdy, but the narrow stand means it can fit up close to a table. Flair glides easily on six rolling casters and locks in place.

The Boon Flair highchair is available in 3 bright color combinations: white and orange, pink and white or blue and white. It is recommended for use with children up to 4 years of age or 50 pounds. Because safety is important to boon, the Flair has five point harness and is PVC, BPA and Phthalate-free.

Shop! Boon Flair  Highchair is $239.99 and available at booninc.com.

The Catch Bowl is a bowl with a flexible spill catcher that catches all the food that doesn’t quite make it to your little one’s mouth. It literally funnels falling, dripping good back into the bowl. Intended for kids 9 months and older and kids learning to feed themselves it’s the perfect bowl for 2.5 year old Toddler Boy when he’s eating liquid or messy food. As you can see from the photos, it saved Toddler Boy’s clothes, the kitchen table and the floor from countless drips of yogurt.

A set of fork and spoon, the Benders are adaptable utensils designed for little ones learning to self feed. The end of the utensils can, well, bend to an angle that makes it easier for the food to actually make it into the mouth. Right handed or left or totally unsure? These adjust to your kid’s grip. And, as your child becomes more adept at eating you can correct the angle until the utensils are straight. Toddler Boy is accustomed to feeding himself with a traditional fork and spoon so we dont’ need to bend these for him, but he still uses them. I’ve also found the spoon to be a GREAT size for feeding Baby Girl. It’s smaller than a lot of utensils intended for babies which is perfect for early eating.

My absolute favorite of the Boon product we tried is the Squirt. This food dispensing spoon holds 3 ounces of food in a bulb that you squeeze onto an attached spoon. Before using it, I loved the idea but wasn’t sure how it would actually work. My fears were unfounded because it’s awesome. It’s really easy to control how much food comes out of the bulb so you don’t waste food and don’t make a mess. Perfect for purees, the opening is rather small, so I can’t imagine we’ll be able to use it when Baby Girl starts eating thicker foods. My favorite aspect of the Squirt is that you can fill it will food, put on the cap, throw it in your diaper bag and you are ready to feed on the go. That’s right, only ONE gadget to feed your baby.

More information about Stephanie’s mission:

The Green Baby Bliss website is easy to navigate with the ability to search for products by activity (“Scrub a Dub in the Tub” and “Time to Get Dressed,” for example) or by brand (such as Boon, Fuzzy Buns and Plan Toys). Pregnant or know someone expecting a baby? Green Baby Bliss offers a gift registry so you can ensure the baby has safe, earth friendly goods and gear. And I think it’s super cool that, Green Baby Bliss offers local delivery for those of you in an area of Southern Oregon.

Stephanie generously sent some Earth Mama Angel Baby bath products for my kiddos to use. Angel Baby is the only complete line of all natural and USDA certified organic herbal baby care products and all products are phthalate-free, toxin-free, cruelty free and vegan, with no artificial preservatives, dyes or fragrances. We received the Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash, Lotion and Diaper Rash Soap.

What I noticed immediately upon use was the smell of the Angel Baby products; a very subtle and sweet smell that reminds me of chamomile tea. It’s such a nice change of pace from typical baby smelling products that I often find overbearing. The Shampoo and Body Wash dispenses in a foam which I find to be super easy to use. I can squirt some on Baby Girl, put the bottle down and not worry about it running or being wastefully dripped all over the tub. It worked great as a shampoo and even left Toddler Boy’s crazy long curls conditioned and easy to comb. I love using the Lotion to massage Baby Girl after her bath. It is smooth, not at all greasy and very light. The best surprise of the bunch was the Diaper Rash Soap – who knew such a thing existed? “Angel Baby Diaper Rash Soap is like Bottom Balm in a bar! This diaper rash and first aid soap is tough on diaper rash but gentle and mild on tender little bottoms.” So cool!

Stephanie says, “Let’s make it our goal to raise happy, healthy, blissful, green babies together!”
