Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? Black Friday is coming up, and that means the second annual 29 Diapers’ 29 Days of Christmas gift guide and giveaway event, the largest event of its kind featuring eco-friendly, high-quality, and natural gift ideas for moms and babies. We are going to have 29 straight days of reviews and giveaways to get you pampered and prepared for the holidays.
Our grand prize this year is a Diono booster seat (formerly Sunshine Kids), so we’re kicking off this event with a little teaser review for you. Check back every day from Black Friday through Christmas Eve to win great prizes, this year including multiple winners on most giveaways!
I’m so happy to feature Diono in this year’s event, as they are the go-to company for adjustable booster seats that grow with your child. Diono sent us a red and black Monterey booster for testing, and I was impressed with its adjustability and quality. The back of this seat adjusts to actually widen as your child grows, and the headrest raises significantly to fit your child as long as possible. Once you’re done using the side-impact-protective sides, just pop the back off and use the base for larger kids until they’re old enough to sit in a normal seat.
The coolest thing about the Diono is that the back has two recline settings you can use to fit the contours of nearly any back seat. Just pop it into place to best fit your car and then install using the LATCH 
system or seat belt for a perfect fit. Baby girl is still a little small for a booster, but I feel great knowing she has such a high-quality seat to grow into when she’s ready. The Diono Monterey even has two cup holders that swing out for holding drinks (dropping sippy cups is starting to be a problem in our car). They have thought of everything.
Diono makes a whole line of seats from boosters to convertible car seats that convert into boosters (the popular Radian that fits 3 across in most cars for big families). Check back at the end of 29 Diapers’ 29 Days of Christmas for your chance to win an adjustable Monterey booster in your choice of color!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and please come back on Friday for the kickoff of this year’s 29 Days of Christmas. I can’t wait, and I hope you will love it, too!
Best,
