Summer time is supposed to be a time of relaxation. However, for my family it seems to b a little more hectic than the average school year. Between running to and from summer camp, swim and gym and working a full time job, we have to run a pretty tight ship with scheduling. Add an impending new baby to the mix and things can get a little more hectic. However, to say we are excited would be an understatement. Thankfully, the Tiny Love and Just Born companies have created some adorable sea-inspired travel essentials that can make summertime with a new baby easier! 
I recently had the opportunity to review some of these sea-inspired items and couldn’t be happier. Two of these items were from the Tiny Love Gymini Under the Sea Collection, and make summer travel with a little one so much more enjoyable!
First off, I have to tell you about the Tiny Love Under the Sea activity mat. This bright and bold activity mat features the cutest and friendliest of sea creatures. It has both lights and sounds to stimulate your little one during tummy time. The toys on this activity mat are not fixed so they can be moved around and rotated for various stimulation. It is also a nice feature for when you want or need to wipe the toys clean. One of the greatest things about this activity mat is how portable it is. With a couple of snaps and folds, it can quickly be put up, taken down and carried to other locations.
The second item in the package was the Gymini bouncer which exceeded all expectations! Retailing for approximately $55.00, this bouncer is multi-stage allowing your new addition to use it right from the start. It was very easy to assemble unlike some other baby gear I have wrangled. The Gymini bouncer has two seated positions, reclining and more of an upward position in addition to a seated vibrating feature. The arches on this bouncer can easily be adjusted to get baby in and out without hassle. Like the activity mat, this bouncer has an array of hanging toys that can be taken on and off and moved along the arches.
Lastly and perhaps one of my favorite features is the removable crab. This crab plays music and lights up as baby interacts with it. It can be removed from the bouncer and used on a carseat and/or stroller. The practical and thrifty mom that I am sees this as simply getting “more bang for your buck” and who doesn’t like the idea of that?
Finally, the third sea-inspired baby essentials I reviewed was a set of hooded bath towels. These towels are made by Just Born and are simply amazing. Made out of 100% cotton they are oh so soft and sure to feel nice on baby’s new and sensitive skin. They are made of superior quality, very durable and will hold up well. With one towel an anchor print and the other a whale print, these ocean inspired towels are a must have this summer.
