Sun-Rype 100% Fruit Juices and Snacks…urbanmoms.ca Tested and Approved

It’s our commitment to our members; we won’t feature a product unless the Go2Girlz have tried it out and given it the urbanmoms.ca thumbs up first. And our latest test was a resounding success with members. We sent samples of Sun-Rype’s 100% fruit juices and snacks to a few lucky Go2Girlz members, and they all agree: these products are great for the whole family.

All of our testers commented on the fact that they felt good about giving Sun-Rype 100% fruit juices and snacks to their children, and several were also encouraged to see the HealthCheck symbol on the packaging. By far the most popular feature of these products, though, was the flavour. Some of our testers were surprised to find out how much they enjoyed the juices and snacks themselves, or were blown away to find that even the pickiest of little eaters enjoyed them when they wouldn’t otherwise touch fruits or vegetables.

In fact, the only drawback our testers could find was that they wanted to see more of these products!

Here’s some of what our testers had to say:

“My triplets are fussy eaters and they couldn't get enough!” – Linda, Go2Girlz member and mom to four kids.

“Kids love the taste and convenience of the Fruit to Go and the juice boxes for lunch or snack. The larger juices are great also. I like the fact that even though my child and her friends think that they are having a treat when in fact they are having a serving or two of fruit without even knowing it.” – Brenda, Go2Girlz member and mom of one.

“A great way to make sure the children are eating well. A quick and convenient way. It is amazing, we love it.” – Dianne, Go2Girlz member and mom to four kids.

“All my kids ages 1,4,10 love em! Everything, even the fruit and veggie juice mix!” – Roberta, Go2Girlz member and mom to three.

“Everything was so full of flavour!” – Bonnie, Go2Girlz member and mom of three.

Blink! urbanmoms.ca Tested and Approved

   
Blink...and it's done!

So...you're a mom. That means you have kids. If you have a vehicle, too, then chances are really good that you have a messy vehicle. Right? Until now, those of us who ferry young children (and sometimes their fathers!) around in our vehicles had to get creative...shopping bags draped over seat arms for collecting garbage, baby wipes in the glove compartment for wiping up smears, and stashes of fast-food napkins in the door pockets for mopping up spills...you get the picture, right?

With nowhere else to turn, we did the best we could with the materials we had. But no longer! Several lucky members of the urbanmoms.ca Research and Testing Panel had the opportunity to test a remarkable new line of products from Honeywell called Blink. The idea is for Mom's Car Solutions, just Blink… and it’s done!

And the verdict? Well, the entire product line was remarkably well received, and a good number of Canadian families are now driving around in much cleaner vehicles, with less stressed-out moms at the wheel. Our testers tried the following products:

    * Mess Lifters - Stain Remover Auto Interior Wipes

    * Spill Grabbers - Super Absorbent Wipes

    * Smudge Cleaners - Fingerprint Remover Spray and Wipes

    * Tidy Totes - Quick & Easy Clutter Collectors

    * Toss Outs - Easy Clip Drawstring Litter Bags

Our panel loved each of these five innovative new products, but the two most popular in the lot were the Smudge Cleaners (a spray bottle with enclosed wipes in one package) and the Mess Lifters, which really did remove (even old) stains from car and van upholstery. A couple of innovative moms are also carrying these products in their strollers to handle messes there, too. After all, strollers are vehicles, too right?

Here's some of what our testers had to say about the Blink product line:

"I thought they were great. I loved they way you could attach them to your car and that there was a good variety of solutions for every possible mess your kids could make in the car." --Becky, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 2

"Whoever designed them obviously know moms, because the absorbent pads for spills are absolutely genius! How many times have I tried mopping up spilled juice with a few shreds of fast food napkins?! I can also see the totes getting a permanent spot in my van to help contain the ever present clutter!" --Laura, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 3

"I found the spill remover cloths helpful - I used them on the kids' rug - they had spilled some juice on there. The wipes took the stain right up. I was really impressed with that." --Cheryl, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 2

"The kids LOVED spraying the window cleaner and then wiping it off. My husband was just happy to see some kind of cleaning-related items enter my van!" --Kate, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 2

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try this great new line of products!" --Raffaela, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 1

"My car needed these!" --Nancy, urbanmoms.ca member and mom of 2
