whats the best place to rent new release movies online?
As netflix raises their prices even though they never have the newest stuff out and keeps the same movies.... we cancelled our account and decided to use REDBOX. The vending machine you see all over town. You can look online to see whats available (they have video games too) and then reserve a movie/game incase they run out, so you are guaranteed a movie. Its pretty awesome. Best thing is, its just $1!!!!!!!!!

What is the best alternative for a tattoo for a teenager?
I say take the teen to a place where theres an old person with tattoos to show them what it will look like when they get older. Tattoos shrink, feather, smudge, turn green, wrinkle, sag, and distort.... ask them "are you sure you want one??"

What is the best way for easing transition from crib to toddler bed?
  Summer Infant Sure and Secure Double Bedrail, Blue
Most rails only come with one but this is great because its prevents the toddler from rolling (as they are crazy sleepers) off the bed while dreaming away. These are wide and tall enough to prevent them from jumping over if sleeping.

Whats is the best way or thing to stop the ice cream from dripping out the end of the sugar cone?
  Wilton Ice Cream Cone Wrappers
These wrappers are a great way of stopping the ice cream from dripping out the bottom, but the girls below are right, eater faster or teach the kids how to eat in a cleaning kinda of "shrink the ice cream" way. make sure to get the sides or a protector wont prevent it from dripping all over.

What is the best Hand Puppet set for entertaining toddlers under $25?
  1 Dozen Velour Animal Hand Puppets Kids TOY Preschool Kindergarten
We ordered these forthe babies birthday party and since the babies cant eat candy like the big kids, we passed out these hand puppets to the parents for the babies and they were quiet entertained. The puppets were not made cheaply, and it was a great deal. They fit my wife's hand and were easy to maneuver, sometimes the middle finger would have to squeeze into the head cavity from the inside, but otherwise it was a baby hit!

What is the best baby/toddler lap top for learning under $50?
  Vtech Preschool Learning Tote and Go Laptop
This was best compared to others we've checked out because it was most bright attracting kids attention better and the mouse moves while teaching the words, up and down, side to side. Where the other mouses on the others were just to change the setting from music to ABC's, instead of having a playful wiggling mouse.

What is the best reusable water bottle?
  Ecoflo Stainless Steel Water Filter Chrome Bottle - 27 oz - Bottle
When your reusing a water bottle, you want to make sure its stainless steel because they say that if you do not properly clean the plastic bottles, bacteria builds up and if left in the hear they say it is causing cancer. So I play it safe with my Ecoflo which also keeps the water super cold.

best car for a family with one kid
You know, my wife and I shopped for a car when we had our first child but we came to realize that we'd end up needing a larger vehicle because of carrying the stroller, the car seat, the walker, blankets, diaper bag, and groceries. You just always want to be prepared as a parent but space is always needed when it comes to a child. We then had our 2nd child 2 years later then our 3rd soon after. We are so glad we chose our Dodge Chrysler caravan. It holds everything we need and there's still space.

What is the best way to track your child incase lost?
  Garmin GTU 10 GPS Tracking Unit
This is great. I bought it because its also waterproof up to 1 mile underneath. A few years ago, my little cousin went missing and had we had this device we may have been able to save his life. Unfortunately he crashed and got stuck behind a sound wall off the freeway, it took 8 days to find his body. I highly recommend this device.

best construction toys for pretend play?
  Step2 Real Projects Workshop
This has to be the ultimate kids toy! Wish I one when I was that age, but this is the works! Any child, male or female would have a ball playing "build a house" or whatever. When I was young, i had a real hammer and a 4x4 with nails. I just hammered away. This would definitely be a safer, fun toy for kids.

best trampoline with enclosure for kids
  Pure Fun 12-Foot Trampoline and Enclosure Set
I got my older kids this one because they widens gives them more jump and fall space. The enclosure nets prevent kids from falling out but they can still get hurt on the edges so I thought the wider the platform, the better. The kids love it and I feel good about their safety on it. Not to mention, keeps the bugs away too! bonus!

What is the best mosquito repellent for babies?
  California Baby Bug Repellant Spray, 6.5 Ounce
This stuff believe or not works great. There really is no need for other harsh chemical to ward off the bugs. We always go on fishing trips off the rivers and so far our little one hasn't been stung or bit. We also use it because we handle the baby all day and don't want her to inhale the chemicals off of us. and we like the product too, smells good too.

What is the best push car to take my baby for a walk under $150?
  Step2 Push Around Buggy (Red)
We were torn between this and "the little Tikes Convertible car" with a cover, but we decided to get this because of the seat belts, we just make our little one wear a nice big hat that covers for shade which works out better anyways because she starting to want to look all around her and that cover kinda blocked her vision. This is great to take her out for strolls, especially in the summer time early evenings, its very relaxing for us and gives my wife and I time to chat while the baby absorbs the views.

What is the booster seat/high chair for a baby under $150?
  Regalo Easy Diner Portable Hook-On High Chair
I am sorry there is no image for this one but this is the best booster high chair I have ever had to deal with. Its portable so we are able to take it to restaurants or someones house. It folds up nice and easy, stores great. It is fully padded so it's comfortable and it has great back support so our baby gets great support to sitting straight. I can separate the padding which allows me to wash it easily. I'd say this is a great baby high chair all around.

What is the best dress shirt and tie for a formal birthday event under $100?
  Tuxedo Tie and Cufflink/Stud Combo - "Purple Rain"
Hi Mark, I understand your frustration with your wife disagreeing with your choice, but you shouldn't really wear a plain white shirt to a formal event. This is a great tie and cuff link set, all you need is a black jacket and a long sleeve white dress shirt with some black slacks. This will make you look like you have been getting ready all day and it takes a few minutes, the wife will be happy and your wallet will be happy. Good luck my friend!

What is the best baby gate under $100?
  North States Superyard Classic XT Gate Play Yard
These are great. Parents like us start with one baby gate to block off a hall way, kitchen or bathroom, then realize you need to block the baby off from may other parts of the house, away from corners of tables to DVD player, VHS player..etc... So This is a great way while your getting things done to designate this one area for the child to play in with no dangers or ways to escape. =) The only downfall is if the child isn't used to having boundaries, he will probably scream his head off until you pick him up or remove the gate.

What is the best teether or teething ring for a baby with 3 teeth?
  Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
I dont now what it is about this toy that attracts the kids and babies but they love it! They chew on the feet and the horns and ears most, something about this thing interests them to continue gnawing on it for a long time! This is the most loved teething toy up to date! Its made of natural rubber and food grade paint marks its colors and spots so its safe for the youngest infants even. It is indeed BPA free. This might sound pricey for some of you but I thought, I would rather pay a little extra and have a safe toy for my child then pay a few bucks for a dangerous, lead based product that could lead to cancer. This is the way to go.

What is the best carseat under $150?
  Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat, Matrix
This is absolutely the best. It is an all in one car seat meant from stages from new born to small child. Its able to rear face up to about 35 lbs, then forward face and at last, its used as a booster for a young child. Its reclines way back or midway or stands straight up depending on what position you need it. There are latching belts for securing in your car either at the top part or the bottom part of the seat. The straps are easily adjustable and comfortable for the baby/child. My only concern is for those with heavier children, the crotch strap may be too far back, underneath the child if they are too hefty which makes it difficult to buckle. Over all a great bang for my buck! Its gonna last me a while!

What is the best baby video monitor with the most distance?
  Summer Infant Day and Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 1.8" ...
We got this at our baby shower and has been a blessing. We were always nervous about leaving the baby in its own room without us when she slept, but with this we felt much more confident leaving her to sleep well in her room with no noise or distraction. This reaches up to 350 ft... that far! and it has a clip for the belt so I dont have to hold it the whole time. The infrared lights are awesome so we can see her in the dark too. The video is way better then the audio only because even when you hear no noise, you still wonder... is she breathing? Is the blanket over her face? so many concerns and with this I can feel much more at peace with confidence that my sweet baby girl is okay. The only down side is if someone within the 350 ft range has the same monitor as you, you may pic up their sounds or images but you can change the channel to the 2nd one and it should be fine.

What is the best toy for a 2 year old boy?
  Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes
My kid played with this when she was 2 and she took that thing everywhere! It was like her mini-radio for toddlers. She loved hearing the soothing sounds of classical music play, I guess that explains why shes such a calm kid huh? lol I think this is great, it keeps them entertained with the colorful beads in the side that spin to the musical notes that light up and glow when melody is played. Its a great toy to entertain babies/toddlers when out and about running errands because it keeps them busy and calm for a good while. My wife said she doesn't know what she would have done without it. lol That says it all there!

A great long lasting sturdy back back, it would be great for a kid.
