bismIllah...

alhamdulIllah...

Of being positive and Ergos for sale

bismIllah...

Err... from previous entry macam banyak sangat negativity. So now aku nak positif-positif kan diri.

Razin buat perangai maybe sebab baru balik rumah di Johor ni... masih ade rasa 'lain' gamaknye. Maka bersabar jelah...

Aku bersyukur hubby ade tolong-tolong... kalau tak. lagi tension la wehhh!

Cam arini, he cooked dinner. Walaupun sebenarnya guna balik ape yang aku masak time lunch (ayam goreng + sup sayur), tukar jadi ayam masak merah and buat sotong goreng tepung. hehe...

Aku masak simple-simple je. Sebab tu tak penah update gambo kat blog! Malu mak! HAHAHAHA!

Oklah, sekarang ni tengah cuba nak ceria-ceriakan diri.

Kena senyum selalu! Weeee....

Anyway, ni nak update sikit tentang ready stock Ergobaby carriers.

Ada 3 ketul semuanya (memang jarang ade banyak except Boba) cos Ergo banyak jenis sangat...



1. Ergobaby Organic: River Rock Green.

 

Yang ni harganya RM470 termasuk poslaju.

2x payment plan accepted.

Silalah beli cos material organic ni sedap sangat!

Lembut!

2. Ergobaby Original - Purple Mystic

 

Ni harganya RM420 termasuk poslaju.

Warna ni cantik sangat!

Plus, ni new version yang ada buckle baru tu.

Silalah beli... comel ok.

 Ni pun leh bayar 2x jugak. hehe...

3. Ergobaby Sport - Black

Harga: RM390 dah termasuk poslaju.

Recommended to those yang nak light carrier. Cos Sport ni memang light!

Pastu material dia lebih lembut dari Ergo Original. Macam Ergo Organic, tapi material ni bukan organic. Tapi tahap kelembutan sama!

Pastu macam berangin la jugak cos ade bukaan pada body dia (refer pic above).

Macam baby akan rasa berangin tu kat area tengkuk or belakang dia la (depends baby tinggi mana).

So mari lah beli!

hihihi...

Yang ni takleh bayar 2x cos less than RM400.

=)

 Kalau nak tanya lebih lanjut (which carrier suit your @ your baby best) silalah email.

Thanks!

alhamdulIllah...

Back in Johor

bismIllah...

Back in Johor now. Sampai time Maghrib semalam. Hmmm bermulalah episod-episod getir seorang WAHM. huhu...

Like I expected, Razin asyik la meragam jer... Clingy. Adehh... yela, masa kat Beruas, ramai melayan dia.. Now? Just aku and hubby. Aku lak kekadang busy nak buat kerja... bila time aku busy dia ngacau, memang aku menyinga la...

Haih...

Sape la kata senang dok umah tak kerja? Well, maybe senang kalau ada maid or hantar anak ke babysitter. Tapi kalau dok kat umah and 'bekerja' jugak untuk menampung perbelanjaan keluarga, it's not easy.

Now I'm thinking of 'keberkatan'.

Dulu aku quit sebab aku rasa gaji yang aku dapat kurang berkat bila aku busy sampai anak terabai, keje siang malam and sometimes bila takde keje sangat aku online je lebih kat ofis.

Now, ade ke berkat bila anak di rumah selalu aku marah-marah?

Tak patut kan?

Aku cuba nak balance kan... memang masa kat Beruas aku relaks and enjoy sangat our time there. Razin pun lebih happy... and of course aku pun hepi gak.

Now bila balik Johor, mula la perkara-perkara negatif hinggap. Aku malas nak mengemas cos rumah kecik dan Razin suka sangat sepah barang. Sebab? Takde proper place untuk letak barang...

I hate the small kitchen and paip sinki yang ntah ape-ape...

I hate the wet floor in the kitchen. No matter how I mopped and clean it, mesti akan ade comot-comot jugak. Bengkek je aku

And of course aku tak suke mesin basuh manual tu. huhu... tapi nak tak nak pakai la jugak. Nak basuh tangan and memberus, bilik air pun kecik gile. Buat berlaga bontot ngan dinding bilik air je. :(

Razin lak kat sini sangat pantang nampak aku duduk depan lappy. Kalau elok-elok dia main depan tv and tiba-tiba nampak aku dok depan laptop terus nangis-nangis and datang kat aku mintak dukung.

Stressnye ya Allah...

Dugaan apa yang kau beri...

What are You trying to tell me?

To be patient?

T___T

Aku kekadang bole paham macam mana sesetengah ibu leh dera anak dia... abuse her own child. Sebab kekadang terlintas jugak imej-imej ganas tu dalam kepala otak aku ni. Nauzubillah min zalik!

Ya Allah, berikanlah aku kesabaran...


Lindungi keluargaku dari perkara-perkara negatif.


Amin.

alhamdulIllah...

Komplen mode

bismIllah...

Woohoo! It's Thursday already. Esok dah Jumaat. Dah nak kena balik Johor. Waaaa tak suke.

Tak suke sebab takde kawan.

Tak suke sebab aku tak berani kuar sorang-sorang, drive sorang-sorang (with Razin).

Sebabnye, tak tau jalan tu satu hal, then nak kuar rumah pun susah cos kawasan rumah tu sempit. Aku ni bab nak kuar parking and parking kereta tu memang hampeh sikit la. Kalau ditambah dengan tempat sempit, memang ya ampun... Laki aku pun kata takyah bawak kereta hatta parkingkan kereta sekalipun cos porch sempit! Kalau tutup pagar betul2 pintu pagar tu kena kereta kitorang. huhu...

Maka, aku tak suka la dok Johor cos merap dalam rumah je. Nak kuar beli itu ini pun susah.

And aku cuak jugak cos Razin mesti akan lain bila balik Johor... mesti meragam and clingy tahap gaban cos takde Abang Amirul yang suke main ngan dia dah.

Tak suke cos mesin basuh manual. Kena tunggu air penuh, kena check dah abis pusing ke belum untuk drainkan air and spin... hampeh. Me no likey time consuming task like that.

Mmmm... tapi kena balik gak. Sabau jelah...

 Lagi ape aku nak komplen?

Ermmm...

Dahla. Cukup-cukup la tu.

Jom sejukkan hati dengan melihat gambo Razin... hehe...

 

Gambar petang tadi masa otw ke Poslaju Sitiawan.

Seronok dapat berjalan.

Baru la tido... (xtdo sejak bangun pagi tau!)

 

Gambar Ahad lepas.

Geram sangat bila buat muka camni.

Cakap "busyuk, busyuk, busyuk!, automatik buat hidung camtu.

Abg Mighul la yang ngajor nyer ni...

Tengok paha tu. Geram kan... Aummm...

 

Gambar petang tadi.
Dia panjat sendiri tangga sampai takat tu.

Aku busy buat keje kat meja makan.

Then bising uk ek uk ek cos tak reti nak turun.

hmmphh.

Risau jatuh je... razin...razin...

 

Semalam punye gambo.

Peace at last.

hahahaha...

 

Sabtu ke Ahad lepas.. lupe dah.
Kejenye menolak Trunki tu ke hulu hilir.

Dia tak tunggang cos tak reti nak panjat (and gayat kot)

So tolak jela... huhuhu...

Sekian.

Gambar sume amik dari FB cos nak transfer dari BB tak dapat, kabel kat bilik atas. 

Malas nak amik.

Wassalam.

alhamdulIllah...

Dugaan

bismIllah...

Saingan dalam perniagaan tu biase la kan... Normal. Bizz ape takde saingan?

Tapi bagaimana pula kalau saingan kita tu letak harga melampau-lampau murahnya dan menyusahkan other sellers (and kita sendiri) yang bermodal kecik?

Setiap barang ade recommended price yang kita kena ikut. Takleh sesuka hati letak price ikut sedap tekak kita. Sama kesnya kalau letak harga mahal, memang salah. Letak harga murah (walaupun ramai la orang suka!) tetap salah kerana tak beretika.

Aku sedar, rezeki kita Allah yang bagi. Ada usaha, ada la hasilnya. Tapi sedikit sebanyak bila berlaku perkara begini, kita akan rasa demotivated. Bendanya belum terjadi lagi, but I think IT WILL happen cos seller ni memang terkenal dengan 'memotong peluang orang lain' cos offer harga melampau murah. Kalau sekadar persaingan sihat, aku tak kisah pun. Biase la.. tapi bab harga tu la...

Kita ni dahla modal kecik-kecik je... susah nak lawan orang modal besar. Siap ade kerjaya tetap sebagai kakitangan kerajaan. Kenapa lah nak kacau periuk nasi orang jugak... aku tak jual pun barang yang kau jual walaupun minat sangat-sangat. Tapi kau nak jugak jual benda yang sama. Haihhh. Patut la ramai orang tak suka kau... Now bila aku terkena sendiri baru la faham.

Tak sangka cos I was ok with her... Regular customer le jugak... Siap add masuk group aku...

Mmmm...

Tah la...

Bukan senang oh...

Kena kuatkan semangat.

And kena mantapkan lagi la pengurusan and marketing.

Ya Allah, bantulah hambaMu ini...



Umar R.A came to the market and found a man selling his goods lower from the market price.. He said, "Rise your price or get out from our market. You low the price to cut the throat of your competitors, and when they collapse you rise ur price ~ Sheikh Imran."




p/s: Serius mmg down kot. I felt betrayed. Kalau dapat putar masa, I would not add her to my group.

alhamdulIllah...

Comparison between Boba 3G and Ergobaby carriers

bismIllah...

Entry ini dihasilkan because I received a lot of emails asking me which carrier is better?

Boba or ERGObaby?

Frankly, I love both Boba and Ergo. That's why I sell both! haha...

I use both too... One in car, one in the house. Rotate usage...

But my personal favorite is still Ergo, I think. Simply because Ergo is the 1st brand of ssc I own... and I'm used to having waist buckle on the side instead of at the middle of your back (as in Boba).

Please refer the pictures below...

 

Waist buckle on Ergo (other types of Ergo also the same) is on the right side.

I'm used to this and I found this really easy to use.

 

Waist buckle on Boba 3G is at the middle of your back.

Takes practice to do this easily and quickly.

Of course, you can always adjust the buckle of you want to position it on your side...

But there will be extra webbing etc... nak kena gulung2 la ape la.

The waist strap in Boba is longer than Ergo.

However, there is no safety strap for Boba's buckle.

As for Ergo, each of its buckles (shoulder straps and waist's) has safety loop. A safety measure in case of broken buckles or you accidentally unbuckles.

Search youtube for instruction manual how to wear Ergo and you'll know what I'm talking about.

*I barely use it tho... heehee*

Next, the body panels.

Boba has higher body panels than Ergo.

Especially if you compared it to a standard type Ergo (Ergo Original/Organic)

 Top: Boba 3G - Lila

Underneath: Ergobaby Original - Purple Mystic

As you can see from the pic above, Ergo has wider waist band

Boba is taller by a a few inches.

However, if you compare Boba 3G with my Ergo Organic in Petunia Pickle Bottoms (PPB) series, there is very minimal difference on the height.

Obviously the PPB series has higher body panel than standard Ergo.

Underneath my 'Frolicking in Fez Ergo' is Boba 3G

Not much difference!

Boba looks taller because of the curvy design. =)

 Unless if you took the picture from this angle, it'll look like Boba is much higher than Ergo PPB.

But to me, nahhh... insignificant difference! (please refer back to the picture before the above pic haha)

Can hands-in too... (if your baby chose to do that)

First time tidur dalam Ergo di posisi dukung belakang (back carry).

Selama ni tido kalau dukung dari depan je (front carry).

Penat sangat la tu sampai ternganga-nganga mulut. Haha

Ok, back to the comparisons...

Apart from Boba's having foot straps and shoulder strap's holder, Boba can be used from newborns (as young as 2 months old or 7lbs)

The unique design can shorten the Boba's body panel so that it can fit smaller baby.

See the snap buttons I circled?

Just snap 'em!

 Tada!

Shorter body panel... shorter than Ergo, of course.

Suitable for newborn hold.

These features is not available in Ergo.

You have to purchase infant insert for small babies.

What else eh...

Hmm...

I guess it's all a matter of preference.

Try both carriers if you can and decide which one you like better. 

Actually,

I only found out by today that the PPB's Ergo is taller than the standard one. 

Funny rite?

Well, that's because my baby was comfortable sleeping in my PPB's Ergo..

He's already 14months and quite tall... so I wonder why people always says Ergo's body is short and not suitable for older baby?

Here's Razin... sleeping in Ergo.

And it doesn't seem that short to me.

That's when I checked all my carriers and compare.

Yes, Ergo is shorter than Boba's. But the PPB Ergo has very minimal difference.

The shortest one is the standard size Ergo.

Plus, Ergo Performance also has higher body panel than the standard ones.

The conclusion is, NOT ALL ERGO HAS SHORT BODY PANELS.
Other types of Ergo is almost/just the same height as other 'high' body panel's carriers.

=)

Happy babywearing,

alhamdulIllah...

Of love and SOHO ideas

bismIllah...

Cinta hati bakal pulang malam esok (eh malam ni la cos sekarang pun dah lepas kul 12 tgh mlm). Rindu... lama tak jumpa. Dah sebulan tau! Last time I saw him was last April 17th. Memang genap2 sebulan.

Tapi still ok jer... orang dah selalu kena tinggal cam aku ni dah biasa. Plus, I'm staying with my family. Kalau aku and Razin sesorang je, mau tension gak hehe...

So tomorrow I'll be in Lumut sampai next week I guess... Hubby nyer exams this Monday. Dia tak study pun katanya... weekend sempat ke study? hmmm... Esok gerak ke Lumut tak bawak Razin. Tunggu Ahad ke Sabtu ke baru amik Razin kat Beruas. Bagi space sikit kat Mak and Ayah ni. hehehe...

Ade banyak benda yang nak dibincangkan. Especially about the house. Masih belum cukup tenants. So sesapa yang tau kot-kot ade orang cari bilik sewa di area Lumut or Manjung holler-holler la. Memang nak cari short term je cos maybe tahun depan dah balik Lumut semula. But hey, banyakkkk bulan lagi la... kalau balik pun tgh tahun depan kot.

Sebenarnya tak sabar sangat nak balik Lumut for good. Kalau ikutkan hati, aku nak je dok Lumut. Malas balik Johor. Sebabnye senang nak balik Beruas (and leh tinggal Razin kat sana kalau aku rasa aku nak buat banyak keje hehe), poslaju senang, orang nak datang umah tengok barang pun senang cos umah tu insya Allah kemas je. haha... umah kat Johor tak berani nak ajak orang datang cos kecik and penuh barang-barang :p

Tapi tu la... ikutkan hati memang camtu. Then bila memikirkan balik sanggup ke berjauhan dengan suami lagi? rasenya memang takmo la. huhu... Rindu! And susah... sian Razin nanti ngan bapak sendiri tak kenal.

Anyway, oleh kerana aku takleh tido lagi (biase ar... sekarang memang susah gile nak tido memalam cos lepas Maghrib je confirm aku tido sejam dua :P), aku pun google-google la idea untuk plan aku bila balik Lumut for good nanti.

Ape plannye?

Nak ubahsuai bilik tidur tingkat bawah jadi small office home office (soho)! hehe...

 

 I love this one.

Tapi drawers tu memang aku akan ubah la...

Nak sliding glass atau plastic yang transparent (or almost transparent).

Senang nak tau setiap tempat tu aku simpan ape. hehe...

Jars shelves kat kanan tu will totally be removed.

 

Ni pun ok gak.

Nampak cozy.

  

Sweet <3

 

Rasa-rasa macam nak suruh Ah Seng buat kabinet camni la...

Cambest je... tapi yang belah kiri tu nanti ngadap tingkap... hmmm...

 

Sweet sangat.

Nak letak wallpaper ke?

huh beria je... cat udah.

Ni best.

Cuma kena tukar sikit-sikit la... 

Hmmm...

Semoga dapat menukar rupa SEBELUM ni, kepada yang lebih cun nanti.

Berangan dulu...

Takpe, berangan tak kena duit! hehe...

alhamdulIllah...

Of Hari Guru and a flash from the past

bismIllah...

Since sekarang ni dah pukul 1 lebih, belated Hari Guru lah yer... hehe...

Managed to whatsapp Cikgu Mona and text Cikgu Saripah. Both takde reply. Busy le gamaknye... takpun terus terlupa cos aku wish tgh malam... pas kul 12. hihi...

Petang tadi lepas Mamito balik sekolah, she showed us what she got (pressies). Pastu Mak gitau that hubby texted him wishing 'Happy Teacher's Day'.

Then, tak ku sangka, Mamito also told me he got a text message from my ex, MZ too. Woo hoo. Pelik. Lama tak dengar khabar berita... tapi bagus la, ingat jugak kat Mamito time hari guru.

Baru seminggu yang lepas kot I got to know that he was engaged. Lame dah engaged nyer... last March. Tapi baru last week aku tau... yela, bukan ade kontek sangat pun untuk tau citer... ntah camne aritu leh terpandang FB profile and tertengok gambar engagement. (tupun kejap je.. esoknye aku nak tunjuk kat Mamito dah takde. kena lock tak bagi aku view kot! HAHA)

Ade perkara yang kelakar sebenarnye... tapi takpela... malas nak tulis.

Ape-ape pun I wish him the best of luck and congrats on the new status. Moga-moga lepas ni takde la issues cos dah confirm 'terikat' with his beloved. Again, aku tetiba tersenyum balik.

Takpela. Let's just keep it to myself. =)

Yang pasti, aku pun lega jugak dia dah bertunang. Haha... 

Well, to those yang ikuti my story from early 2007 or 2008 will know about him. Tapi dulu blogging kat friendster la... dah tak wujud dah pun link blog tu hehe...

I'm happily married now... bagi aku what's past is past. Tho aku leh je kawan macam biase with all my ex(es)... no biggie. Sebab bagi aku, we learned from experience kan... and we're now matured adults. Don't act like kids... I hope his other half will no longer think of me as a threat etc (yeahhh, even when I'm already married. And a mother to my child!). Tak koser mak oiii...

Point di sini sebenarnye nak citer ialah; REZEKI, JODOH, AJAL MAUT semuanya di tangan Allah... kita ni hanya manusia yang meminjam dunia ni je...

Kalau bercinta bertahun-tahun tapi dah takde jodoh, what can you say? Janganla sebab sayangkan hubungan yang 'dah lama', you stick to each other walaupun there's so many conflicts.

Broke up after what, 5,6 years of being together was a blow. But I never regret anything. Maybe we're just not meant to be together.

Segala yang berlaku, ada hikmahnye...

Yes, as cliche as it sounds, that phrase is so freaking true.

Yang penting, lupakan perkara-perkara remeh silam. Concentrate on your new, exciting life ahead with the ones you loved. Make plans... Maafkan orang... And insya Allah you'll be happier... hidup pun aman tenteram je.

p/s: And to that 'someone', stop feeling insecure. I'm sure he loves you more than he loves himself. So chill k...


Cheers!

alhamdulIllah...

Perkara lama tak buat...

bismIllah...

Another thing yang aku dah lama tak buat sejak beranak is watching movies on the telly. CSI ke, House ke... (my kind of show) memang lama gila tak tengok.

Selain dari takde masa, antara sebab lain yang utama ialah my husband does not watch that kind of show. Dia tak tengok citer-citer omputeh ni sangat... tak abis-abis drama melayu kat TV3, cerekarama, Naruto, Doraemon, Shin Chan...

Maka? Aku pun layan jela citer-citer yang husbandku tengok. Dia memang giler tv. Takde tv udah macam orang pompuan PMS. Semua tak kena... aku lak jenis tak kisah sangat bab tv AS LONG AS I HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION. hehe...

Ok, dipendekkan citer, malam ni aku baru dapat layan citer 'I am Number Four'. Petang tadi layan citer 'Ramona and Beezus' (yer ke camtu tajuknye... lupe dah). Almaklum, umah kat Beruas ni ada channel movies cam HBO tu (thanks to Nini). So melayan la...

Seronok.

I was really engrossed. Huhu... lama gile tak spend masa tengok citer kat tv yang menarik. Rasa pathetic pun ada jugak. Sampai Nini heran tetiba aku melekat depan tv (selalunya ngadap laptop je 24jam) and tanya, "Ko tengok citer ape ni?". hehe... heran dia. Cos aku memang jarang tengok tv. :)

Razin tido awal malam ni. Dari sejak lepas Maghrib dah macam ngantok tapi dia lawan... main-main dengan Amirul. Aku lak pas Maghrib sempat membuta kejap. Kekonon nak bagi Razin tido sambil breastfeed dia, tapi aku yang padam. Razin elok je lepas main-main menyusu, bangun berkejar-kejar.

Hmmm...

Risaunye time nak balik Johor nanti. Mati la aku nak melayan ke'clingy'an Razin nanti. Dah biase ramai orang, tetiba nanti just dia ngan aku je kalau hubby pergi keje. Aiyoooo...

Doa cepat-cepat dapat adik yer Razin. =P

Macam biase, dah menyimpang dari tajuk entry.

Saje je nak citer tengok tv. tu je. Hihihihi...

Eh, alang-alang dah citer tentang Razin and Amirul meh nak tempek gambo sikit...

Razin with his cousin (cousin la kan kalau Amirul ni anak sepupu aku?) seronok main!

 

Wilcha Opah.

(their great grandmother's wheelchair)

Seronok sangat dok Beruas yer Razin...

 

Sekian.

 

alhamdulIllah...

Buku

bismIllah...

 

I read this book a few days ago.

Nini yang beli...

Kalau nak tau, dah LAMAAAAAAAA giler aku tak baca buku cerita.

Sangat-sangat lama ok.

Since dah ada anak, ntah.. rasa macam tak cukup masa untuk diluangkan dengan membaca. 

I prefer to go online than reading books.

So, bila dah lama tak baca buku, slow sikit nak melekat.

Baru 14 muka surat dah ngantok.

Then baca lagi...

Pastu anak jaga nak susu+terberak+nak Mak, aku letak kejap buku.

Sampai hari ni aku tak jumpa buku tu dah.

Mana pergi eh???

Geram tau.

Aku nak bace!

Dah memalam buta takleh tido ni elokla baca novel kan?

Razin pun dah tido...

But, I couldn't find it!

=(

alhamdulIllah...

Pantang...

bismIllah...

1. Aku sangat pantang bila orang dok komen pompuan tak kerja makan gaji and duduk rumah jaga anak ni RILEKS. Rileks ke??? Kalau anak dah besar, mungkin juga. Tapi kalau anak masih kecik, takde makna rileks di situ yer... lagi2 plak aku bukan SAHM xbuat ape. I'm a WAHM. I generate income from home. Walaupun tak banyak, tapi ade la jugak dari takde ye x? :p


2. Jangan tanya sapa supplier aku. Ini pantang orang-orang yang berniaga. Cer tanya orang lain yang berbisnes. Ade ke deme nak citer? huhu... So tak perlu la tanya soalan macam ni ya cos confirm jawapannya takkan menyenangkan hati anda.


3. Pantanggg sangat kalau berdepan orang yang tak bertimbang rasa. Seriously, do not mess with me. Nak diskaun, kita dah bagi setakat termampu. Nak free postage, pun aku bagi jugak. Tapi paham-paham sendiri la kalau free pos tu camne.. kalau dah namanya barang besar, bulky and kalau poslaju makan puluhan ringgit, memang tak dapek la aku nak 'poslaju'kan...  Maka, aku guna pos parcel. Pos parcel ni kawan-kawan, amik masa dalam seminggu kalau korang tanya Poslaju berapa lama barang sampai. Kadang-kadang 3,4 hari je tak sampai seminggu. Depends kawasan pulak. So, aku sangat pantang kalau orang asyik tanya bila nk dpt barang kalau TRACKING NUMBER aku dah bagi pada hari yang aku pos tu. And aku dah gitau yang pos parcel amik masa seminggu di within Semenanjung. Silalah check sendiri. Adoi laaa...

Aku dah bole bertolak-ansur bagi free pos tapi nak check sendiri barang tu kat mana pun tak boleh ke? Bukannye tak bagi tracking number.. kalau tak bagi tu memang patut la nak bising-bising kan.

Barang pos hari Selasa lepas. Memang aku selalu bajet pos parcel ni barang sampai minggu seterusnya. Hari ni hari Ahad. Adakah expect barang sampai hari Jumaat?? Memang tak dapek la...

Maka, silalah bersabar... kalau dah pos insya Allah sampai jela... selama aku pos-pos barang ni tak pernah lagi barang hilang dalam perjalanan (Nauzubillah). Paling-paling teruk barang tu return balik kepadaku sebab tak dituntut.


Ok.

Tiga je buat masa ni.

Nanti aku nak tambah, aku tambah.


Sorry merempan kat sini plak.

Rasa gerammmm...

Blame my unbalanced hormones cos tengah bendera merah.

Sekian.

alhamdulIllah...

Cepatla 25 hari bulan...

bismIllah...

Why 25hb? Ape ada dengan 25hb?

That's the date my other half coming to Perak! Rindu oke... dah sebulan tak jumpa. uhuk uhuk...

 

Gambar masa under training!

Sekarang?

Chubby dahhhh

 

 Dolu-dolu...

 

 

Setakat posing jela...

kehkehkeh...

 

 

Kurus!

Itu je nak citer...

Rindu kat laki aku... huhu...

Baidewei, ade orang suruh aku UP entry tentang comparison Boba and Ergo.

Nanti kalau aku rajin ada masa lebih sikit, aku buat. Insya Allah...


p/s: Mama Panda Store is in Boba's website ok! KLIK SINI untuk shortcut. So, buy with confidence! Mama Panda is an authorized reseller for Boba. Ade masalah or nak claim warranty, you can just email me. ;)

Boba 3G Review

bismIllah...

Yeayeahhh... Another baby carrier for us! I know I've already have 2 Ergos, but another one wouldn't hurt right? Plus, I'm letting go my purple Ergo so another brand of baby carrier is very much welcome to my humble home. hehehe...

Boba carriers come in 4 printed designs and 3 plain colors. I chose Lila cos the design is in purple color. Since the Ergo I'm letting go is Mystic Purple, so let Lila be the replacement! =)

Initially, I was about to choose Soho... but I end up with Lila instead.

They are all really cute designs! Pening nak pilih... hehe...

Cantik kan Lila ni...

I call her 'Laila Majnun'

=P

I love trying on baby carriers so once I got my Boba last week, I put it on and oh... it was so comfortable!!

Since the body panel is longer than Ergo, it felt more 'secure' to do a back carry.

 

Yeah. I intentionally wore a purple blouse.

Matchy2 giteww.. haha

 Please excuse the blurry picture. Apparently my little photog seems to have Parkinson-like hands. Grrrr...

Gambar ni pun blur jugak.

But I love this pic despite the shaky pic cos Razin was looking at me and smiling widely.

He loves being carried! 

And it sure was comfortable to back carry a baby in Boba!

=)

What really attracted me to have Boba 3G is its new features (an improvement from last version of Boba) that Ergobaby carriers do not have. Let's take a look on the features, shall we?

• 100% Cotton ♥
• Front and back carry options ♥
• Removable sleeping hood ♥♥♥
• Adjustable sleeping hood, adjusting in length to fit growing babies ♥
• Zipper pouch may be used to store your hood when not in use ♥♥♥
• Comfortably fits heights 5’0” – 6’3” ♥♥♥
• Waistband range: 25” – 58” ♥
• Additional adjustments for easier fit & breastfeeding ♥
• Patent-pending removable foot straps ♥♥♥
• Elastic bands neatly roll up straps ♥
• Shoulder strap holders keep purses and diaper bags in place ♥♥♥
• Easily adjustable chest strap ♥
• Uniquely designed to “hug” your child ♥
• Converts to an infant carrier without an insert ♥♥♥
• Extra head support adjustments for infants ♥♥♥
• Body of carrier rises 2-3” higher than other brands ♥♥♥
• Multiple pockets for on-the-go storage ♥♥♥
• High quality military grade buckles ♥

Yeah, I rate the features with how many ♥ symbols I put there. ♥♥♥ means the features is rarely seen in other brand of baby carriers =p


What I love the most was the fact that Boba 3G has foot straps. They are stirrup-like, agreeably great for toddlers to rest their tired legs!

"The footstraps not only give tired little legs a rest, but support the legs in a flexed abducted (froglike) position which naturally tilts the pelvis, fills out the hip sockets and aligns the spine." Bobafamily.com

The foot straps are removable. But since Razin's legs are already way past the waist band, I just left the foot straps there. The foot straps are great for toddlers like Razin. =)

 

The 'M' position is a  healthy position for growing babies that are worn by parents.

Next, I ♥ the shoulder strap holders that can keep purses and diaper bags in place! This is important for mommies so we don't have to keep pulling on our handbags strap to stay on our shoulders anymore! haha...

Can you see that snap button thingy on my shoulder strap?

The right hand strap also has the same thing.

So kalau pakai handbag, letakkan tali handbag antara holder tu and snap the button.

Tada! Takde lagi tali handbag jatuh-jatuh dari bahu. hehehe...

Another great feature from Boba 3G carrier is... it can be used from smaller babies as young as 2 months old without any infant insert! (see how) How great is that? Save a lot of money too!

 

Berbeza dengan Ergo, kena pakai infant insert untuk newborn... so memang kena tambah duit lagi di situ. Sebab tu la feature yang satu ni sangat awesome! =D

It is definitely THE carrier that grows with your baby! haihhh... bile la Razin nak dapat adik ni... huahuahua...

*Gambar curik sebab takde baby kecik =P

Next, Boba 3G has a lot of pockets to stuff small belongings like a wallet, mobile phone, handkerchief or keys. There is the small zippered pocket in the front where you can store the sleeping hood. And more small pockets on the waist strap. Cool. =)

The buckle on the chest strap.

Looks familiar to me...

Of course it was! It's the same buckle on ERGO!!

So, YES, I agree that Boba has high quality military grade buckles! hehehe

But the wordings on the waist buckle is different tho...

This is how it looks when folded. Yeah, I always fold my SSCs since I hate seeing them scattered on the sofas, and around the house.

And know what? Boba is introducing its 'Boba carrier stuff sack' soon!

So it'll be very easy to store your carrier. 

Takde lagi bersepah-sepah dalam rumah. 

A MUST HAVE!

Can hardly wait for it to become available in Malaysia.

So, what is the conclusion?

Buy a Boba carrier if you are having a baby soon! It'll be a great help because a carrier will give you 2 free hands! And God knows how much you'll thank it for once you have a child/children!

Buy a Boba 3G if you wish for your husband to wear it too. It's daddy friendly! (As much as I recommend wraps and ring slings for newborns, but not many guys are into them, I tell you!)

Buy a Boba 3G if you are very particular on what kind of baby stuff you splurge your money on. Boba 3G is an investment. You don't have to upgrade to other carrier as your baby grows because Boba 3G can be used from newborn until your child is at least 3,4 years old! (tu pun kalau diorang nak didukung lagi la...or kalau larat lagi nak dukung! hehe... maximum weight untuk didukung adalah 20kg btw)

Don't know where to buy Boba 3G carrier??

Well, from me of course! haha... or should I say from Mama Panda Store?

Email me at raihana@mamapanda.com.

I'll be more than happy to help! =)

Happy babywearing,
