May have saved my daughter’s life

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Peace of mind

Best Uses: Accident Prevention

Reviewer Comments: I’ve never written a review before but after my horrific experience last night, I felt compelled to. My friend recommended this product before I gave birth so I bought it and installed it a couple of months ago even though my then 2 month old wasn’t moving much. Well now she’s 4 1/2 months and in the last week she’s gotten quite active in her crib. So I did my usual check on her before going to bed last night and there she was, laying at just the right angle with her head turned in just the right way to where she had her face and nose up against the bumper. Even though I knew it was a breathable bumper, my blood ran cold. Thank God she was okay but had I not had this exact product on her crib, the outcome could have been much different. This product is a MUST HAVE, because although you think your baby could never end up in the position mine did, they can! Don’t take the chance, it’s WELL worth the money. Also, we have a sleigh crib and haven’t had any problems at all with installation, etc.

Suunto A-10 Compass Review

LifeSaver

Review of the Day – 04/29/2008

Review date: Apr.242008
Review by: leepub from SoCal
I am: Gearhead, Outdoor Enthusiast, Bad With Directions, Avid Adventurer

Suunto A-10 Compass
This basic compass offers reliable navigation at an outstanding price!

This compass SAVED MY LIFE!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Accurate, Strong Construction, Reliable Performance, Simple Controls, Compact

Best Uses: Campgrounds, River Trips, Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, Road Trips, Survival

Reviewer Comments: Got caught up in a sudden, vicious snow storm with zero visibility with my dog (misjudged timing of approaching storm). We were off trail with no landmark to gage directions due to blizzard condition, was completely disorientated. I had a windproof softshell on, that was it, pooch had a very good coat on, but not enough. We were in a very bad shape and hypothermia was a real danger. Since the map was useless (zero landmark) the compass was our only hope. I knew if we headed south we would come across a trail that would lead us back to the trailhead (or whatever is left of the trail since there was heavy snow cover). So through loose rocks and icy slopes we followed the red pointer on the compass and sure enough after what seemed like hours we found the trailhead and our truck covered in inches of fresh powder. I take my A10 everytime, everywhere now no matter how easy I think a hike will be… you never know when you will need it. This compass is now the one piece of item I cherish the most in my pack.

Reviewer Comments: I bought these shoes for my son who is a professional cook. He has two pair, one for work and one for regular wear. The work pair has survived many spills and an dropped professional quality knife. The shoe was cut, but was tough enough to prevent him from losing a toe! He stands in them for many hours while he is working and loves these shoes.

THIS CARSEAT SAVED MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE

5 stars

Pros: Comfortable, Easy to install, Great Features, Easy to Adjust

Cons: Bulky

Best Uses: Infants, Toddlers, Back Seat

Reviewer Comments: I was in an accident this weekend with my 14 month old daughter in the car and she was not hurt at all due to this car seat.(thank god) Although, the accident was in the front of the car I am convinced that the size of this car seat and the durability had a lot to do with her not being hurt. I paid a lot of money for this seat and its a bit big but sure is worth it.

Great Rehab Shoe

5 stars
5out of 5

Sizing: Feels true to size

Width: Feels true to width

Pros: Stable, Comfortable

Cons: none

Best Uses: Rehab

Reviewer Comments: Due to a strep infection, I had to have my knee and hip prosthesis removed. I spent 16 weeks in the hospital. Of that, I was bedridden for 83 days. When my knee prosthesis was put back in, I had to learn to stand and walk again.

All of my shoes were backless and they were unsuitable for Rehab. So I found these and bought a pair to try them. I now own 4 pairs – 3 of this style and one of the Mary Janes.

They are awesome!! They have good support, lightweight, and give me the traction I need to be able to walk without slipping.

I can’t wait until I can get my hip prosthesis and I can really use them to walk and exercise!

I would recommend them to anyone for any reason. I love them!!

So impressed …

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Easy to Set Up, Lightweight, Easy to clean, Durable

Best Uses: Newborn, Infants

Reviewer Comments: Five weeks ago, my husband, 2-week old (at the time) daughter and I were in a car accident. We hit a spot of black ice and rolled our vehicle at least 3 times.

All of our luggage landed on top of our daughter’s car seat but because of the little lightweight canopy, she wasn’t smothered.

While her dad and I walked away banged up and bruised, she slept through the whole thing. Even the doctors at the ER were impressed with how the seat. She didn’t have a single bruise or bump and no issues with her neck.

I know most people buy these things for functionality and for how cute they are (I am one of them), but this product is truely great and I have no doubt in my mind that it saved my daughter’s life.

We had to scrap the seat (after any accident the seat can’t be used because the foam might get a minor crack and become ineffective) and we went right back to BRU and bought this exact same system!

Hit @ 50 mph,son didn’t even know.

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Neat Features, Easy to Adjust, Easy to Clean, Sturdy, Armor reinforced Tank, Comfortable, Easy to install

Best Uses: Toddlers, Infants, Back Seat

Reviewer Comments: I was hesitant about buying this seat at first due to the price. But I would pay it a 1,000 times over for the safetey it provided my 1 yr old. We were hit at 50mph from behind while waiting for the light to turn green. My husband, daughter, son, and self were rushed to the E.R. via ambulance. The cop commented on the the best installed car seat he’d seen in his career. He “almost had to rip the seat out”. My son was startled by the noise of the wreck but other then that could have been none the wiser….3 weeks later we hit a dear going 65mph, again, my son was laughing and playing. Not a scratch. Buy this if you don’t want to worry about ever losing your babies b.c. of a stupid drunk driver rear ending you or a suicidal deer with death wish.

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Easy To Use, Natural Look

Cons: Messy

Best Uses: New Look

Reviewer Comments: I highly reacomend this awsome product. I wanted to die my light strawberry blond hair to a dark brown about two days ago but it ended up coming out completely jet, gothic black. It was so horrible. Everyone was calling me emo. Then my grandma found oops on the internet and we decided to try it. We followed the directions perfectly . My hair came out a natural looking brown with warm red highligts. This was exactly what i wanted and hoped for. For those of you who have dissed this product you probably had not followed directions properly. Thank you oops. Your a life saver. Plus you saved us a ton of money so we would not have to go get my hair stripped at the salon and then died again! I’m a true beliver. Ps those of you who want to go darker when light you should go two shades lighter than you want cause you don’t want it to turn out completely black.
