What Can You Do with a Tend-A-Tot? – Review and Giveaway

I was so delighted to be asked by Elizabeth, the creator of the new Tend-A-Tot, to do a review and giveaway on her new stylish and fun multi-purpose baby bag/tote. When I say multi-purpose, I MEAN it. It can flip and flop and turn itself around and inside out to keep coming up with new ways of being used. It’s the coolest thing!

The Tend-A-Tot is a 6-in-1 tote, created from the need to satisfy and nurture the baby while still being mobile. The versatility of the Tend-A-Tot is what makes it so wonderful. For example:

My review in a nutshell:

Pros: The versatility can’t be beat. The shoulder strap pad is fantastic, and the pillow for the child’s seating comfort is equally well padded. The pockets close with velcro and open to the side, which I really liked since the Tend-A-Tot is designed to be used in so many different positions. The buckle safety straps are snug and secure. I also love the fact that there are pouches, pockets, and zippered compartments all over the place for storage.

Cons: It’s a little confusing at first figuring out how to flip it all around in order to utilize all the functions. However, there is a diagram included which helps to explain it, and there’s a terrific youtube video (which I’ve included in this post) that is very helpful. The price might not fit all budgets, but the 10% discount offered with this review is a great savings!

Overall: It’s a very well made and well thought out product which will serve so many purposes that the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Thumbs up from the nutshell!
