Prince Lionheart recently added the bebePod Basix to its line of baby and kid products. With a safety belt and chair harness, this plastic infant seat/booster seat combo provides a multi-function seating solution for babies. The seatbelt and chair harness give this seat added security to prop baby up onto a chair for feeding time, offering a viable alternative for a high chair, which is often known to monopolize precious kitchen space.
The seat is a basic plastic seat that provides just enough back support and form in the front and sides to help even babies who aren’t quite sitting yet the opportunity to sit upright for dinner.
We’ve been testing out this seat for a few weeks now, and it hasn’t been until recently where we’ve actually been able to enjoy it. Baby’s muscle tone seems low and he can’t quite sit up on his own yet, so the bebePod Basix helped him sit upright and enjoy playtime from a different angle. We have two high wooden highchairs that I’ve talked about in the past, so we never really had a need for a booster seat, except when we travel. But what I love about this seat, is that it can be used anywhere, just as Prince Lionheart suggests. We’ve enjoyed using it while Biggie and I are in the playroom, as well as outside while we’re playing outside.
It’s a versatile infant seat and booster, and one that is a better option than foam seats that have been in the news for yet another recall.
Speaking of that recall, I wanted the uproar to simmer a bit before sharing my two cents. The thing is, it’s not always parents using a seat incorrectly. Sometimes, it’s just the way it is…
(coming soon! Im having wifi issues, so I’ll upload this as soon as I can!) Here are my thoughts on a vlog I did today on the bebePod Basix. I’m going to try to share my thoughts more regularly on products, parenting and beyond—all while baby is napping. So, here’s my first installment of Nap Chat:
