Last summer at this time I was dreaming about the baby girl that was growing in my belly! I have to admit I started on her baby registry very early. One of the baby items I put on my list right away was the DockATot. I had read so many good things about it and I really wanted it. I didn't end up getting it at my baby shower, but my best friend from college who lives out of town got it for me. I'm so very happy she surprised me with it, because let me tell you it is our #1 favorite baby item.
From the moment we brought Magnolia home from the hospital to this very day we use the DockATot every-single-day and night! It was literally the first first thing we placed her in when we got home from the hospital.
There are many things to love about it and you can read all about them over on their website here. It is lightweight and very easy to move around the house with you. We take it from the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and to the kitchen throughout the day. It's the perfect place to allow Magnolia a safe and very comfy spot to lounge, play, and cuddle.
I'm very conscious about the items we welcome into our home. It's important for me that our home is filled with clean designs and healthy materials. The Dockatot design is beautiful from the simple lines to the sweet covers. All the filling materials are sourced from world-leading suppliers with hygienic and non-toxic properties.
They just recently came out with a new Deluxe+ cover, toy arch and toy sets. The new cover has a spot on both sides (that you can see above) that holds their new toy arch.
Magnolia is absolutely fascinated by her new Mrs. Mighetto Cloud Friends. She loves the crinkly whimsical creatures hanging above her head. Her eyes light up when I put her in it. It really is the sweetest thing.
Our first DockATot was the Deluxe in Pristine White. I know people thought I was crazy for all the white baby items I had selected. Magnolia did have several diaper explosions in the crisp white DockATot and it was very easy to remove the cover, toss it in the washing machine, and then hang-up it to air dry. I would use just a little stain remover on the spot before washing and it always came out looking as good as new.
In hindsight I would have purchased a spare cover sooner, just so I wouldn't have had to wait all day long for it to dry. The existing DockATot Deluxe can use the new toy arch and toy sets with a Deluxe+ cover. Adding the arch and toys is very easy and only takes about 30 seconds. I know as a new mom how important it is to have things that are easy to use!
We just recently went to Salt Lake City with Ryan for a business trip. We took three of her things: DockATot, carseat, and stroller. I'm very thankful that I had the DockATot in the hotel room! Not only did it give her a place to lounge, but it also gave her a bit of comfort and familiarity of home.
The DockATot Deluxe is for ages 0-8 months and Magnolia is just about ready for the next size up! Having the Grand is a baby necessity without hesitation. We will be taking her to the beach in September and the Grand will certainly be going along with us, travel bag and all.
I have friends expecting their first baby often ask me what items are a must-have. The DockATot is always on my top five list.
