A few months ago I reviewed the weemote 3 from Fobis Technologies. Today it’s time to look at another of their children’s remotes, the weemote DV. The weemote 3 did a great job simplifying TV viewing, but can the weemote DV do the same thing for DVDs?
First Impressions
Picture your average remote: it’s probably black or [...]

Am I going to hand (my daughter) the remote so she can access 100+ channels of digital TV by herself?

I asked that question about a year ago in a post titled “Say Hello to Generation We.” What I didn’t know then was that it wouldn’t be the TV she was going to be interested [...]

My favorite kinds of products are those that are simple and useful. OnTray is just that. This simple little tray snaps onto the handle of shopping carts and can hold snacks for your child, coupons, a calculator, or whatever. The removable lid even stores on the bottom of OnTray.
I’ll admit at first I [...]

Boon won the admiration of our household with the Frog Pod (read more about it here, here and here), so I’ve been looking forward to trying out some of their other products for some time. Today I take a look at the Boon Flō (just Flo from here on out), a unique faucet cover. And [...]

Digital music is here to stay. iPods other MP3 players have made it easier than ever to listen to, and share, our favorite music. And who better to share music (or “mew-ic” as our daughter calls it) with than our children.
In the latest SNHParents article, Kid-Friendly MP3 Players, I take a look at three childrens’ [...]

Despite my praises for the large plastic frog that has adorned our tub wall for just over a year, it’s time to say goodbye. Tonight the adhesive gave away again and the Frog Pod came crashing down into the tub. Fortunately, our daughter’s bath had ended 10 minute before the fall, so once again there [...]

Well, after just about a year our beloved Frog Pod fell off the tub wall. Fortunately it happened in the middle of the night and no children or toys were harmed. I checked the local home stores for replacement adhesive strips, but couldn’t find the same 3M VHB adhesive strips. A quick e-mail to Boon [...]

I’m no fashion guru, but I’ll admit that I try hard to keep my daughter looking her best. Probably one of the more frustrating parts of this job is knowing that the cute outfits I find for her will only fit her for about a minute (or so it seems to our budget). [...]

I take a look at Carbonite and Mozy, two programs that promise an easy-to-use way to protect your files by backing them up over the Internet. Do they work? Are they really easy to use? I put them through their paces to find out whether or not they’re worth your money.

Our little one loves buttons. Cameras, camcorders, remote controls…if it has buttons, she’ll make a beeline for it. But keyboards seem to really attract her attention. It seems like she’s figured out that banging on the keyboard makes things happen on the screen. Well, I say “banging,” but there’s some skill there. She’s not so [...]
