I am a toy gearhead. I am a mom. Therefore, I am Gearhead Mom. I review the good, the bad and the (often) ugly in the world of baby and childhood gear.
Wow. Toys R Us has decided to phase out all feeding products containing BPA by year’s end. Check out the article.
You can also read more on the FAQ section of the Toys R Us site, questions 21 through 26.

gearheadmom, you are my favourite online mum, but there is one thing i really do not agree with, it’s the book about the paperbag princess. i grew up with this book (i’m from germany, it’s been around for many years there) & i never liked the pictures. in the german version the princess is a seductive redhead teenage girl with long bare legs & incredibly long eyelashes. i don’t know. she’s really not the kind of girl i would want my daughter to look up to.
anyway. just thought i’d let you know.
