Retro Combi Car All-In-One Baby Walker

Baby























Why didn't they have these when my triplets were babies?  Now available for a limited time at Zulily's special price of just $79.99 each ($107 retail elsewhere) I would have bought THREE of these.

This little Combi vintage-style car is perfect for stylish little kids on the go and has all kinds of cool features.  The kiddie car-style walker comes in pink for girls and blue for boys.  Hurry, though, this deal won't last forever and is only available on Zulily at this price until November 15 at 7 am PST or until these sell out, whichever is sooner.
Product Description:
This vintage-car-shaped activity walker has a steering wheel that turns, lights up and makes sounds. The bounce feature can be locked or unlock and the bottom of the walker has anti-skid pads for safety. Easy to clean -- just wipe down with a soft cloth and soapy water.  There's even a handy child-size snack-and-play tray under the removable front hood. What baby would not love this?

Snug As a Bug, a Canadian quality clothing business since 1992, is now branching out into the U.S. in full force online with some exciting new styles recently added to their winter pajama line.  

This company produces a full line of kids clothes such as hats, gloves, dresses, shirts, accessories and more but they are particularly well-known for their footed pajamas and matching Christmas pajama sets that are available for the whole family including mom, dad, kids, and pets (both dogs & cats).

Dexter is the sweetest little miniature doberman pinscher that my daughters love to cuddle and wrestle with.  The little guy is wearing the darling Classic Red Pet Snuggle Suit doggie PJs, $24.95, that we received from Snug As a Bugs' Family Pajamas Collection.  

I took the two pictures you see here above with my iPhone at The Grove - Los Angeles during their elegant Photo Booth L.A. Launch.  This event featured a professional fashion photographer shooting each of the party's guests wearing their own clothes -- including Dexter wearing the outfit Snug As a Bug gave to us -- complemented by various haute couture accessories provided by this upscale outdoor shopping plaza.  Watch for a separate post next week about this fun The Grove event heralding in the holiday shopping season.

Now, here's the family-friendly giveaway you've been hearing about.  What are you waiting for? Keep scrolling to read all about how you can enter right now.
