Kidz Gear

About Kidz Gear:

Kidz Gear is about delivering a line of products and accessories with adult product features, performance and quality levels, but available at a price-point in-line with products for children.!

I love that Kidz Gear was founded by Laurie Peterson, a mom who was looking for a better product for her children.  So often, children’s products are so sub-standard in quality and break easily.  Kidz Gear makes high-quality headphones that are designed just for kids.

These wireless headphones are a lifesaver when you’re watching DVD’s in the car – kids are happy, and adults can carry on with their normal conversations.  Wow!  Normal conversation!  Those are two words we don’t get to use much around here anymore.  :)

My car came with a DVD player and wireless headphones, but they just didn’t fit Brandon properly.  These wireless Kidz Gear headphones are perfect for his head and ears, and he can comfortably watch his movies for the whole car ride!

Kidz Gear makes a wired and a a wireless version of their headphones.  The wired version is great for in the car, on the plane, or for plugging into their favorite electronic device at home or on the go.   The wireless version is perfect for in the car

Kidz Gear Wired Headphones

The first adult-featured stereo headphones made specifically for kids. Manufactured with  the same high quality components as those used in standard adult headphones, the Kidz Gear Wired Headphones deliver extremely rich stereo sound quality for all your audio needs – DVDs, MP3s, Game Players, Television, Radio and more. They are a must for children in the car, on the plane or hanging out at home.  MSRP $19.99.

Kidz Gear Wireless Headphones

The IR68KG02 Wireless Car Headphones For Kids come with a 100% Compatibility Guarantee for use with all U.S. Single-channel, Built-in, IR (infrared) DVD/Video systems. Children can now enjoy rich stereo sound quality when watching DVDs, listening to MP3s or even the radio in the car. MSRP $34.99.

Hurry and get your FREE Fisher-Price TRIO Car ($9 value) with free shipping, while supplies last.  Earlier today the website was totally down, but I was able to get through this evening.  One per household.  (Thanks Money Saving Mom!)

Some websites were reporting that 8/31 was the last day for the 30% off diapers deal at amazon, but it looks like it’s still going on.  Hurry and stock up on your diapers now before the sale ends (you can always cancel your subscription after you get your first shipment if you want to)!  I already ordered 3 boxes!  Don’t forget about the Coupon section and the Parents Magazine and Parenting Magazine coupons (some of them expired on 8/31) for extra savings.

Disney and Jakks just came out with a new line of toys calls Pook-a-Looz.  There are 4 types of Pook-a-Looz – Wobblers, Yappers, Spinners, and Walkers.  The Wobblers are weighted at the bottom and wobble on the table.  The Yappers are keychains that can be attached to keys or backpacks, and make a “yap yap yap” sound when you shake them to open their mouths (Brandon’s favorite).  The Spinners are tops that you have to pull on an arm to get started (this was the hardest for Brandon to do) and come with a cap so they can stand when you’re not using them.  The Walkers are a wind-up toy that walk around.  They are all super cute, and some in styles like Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat, Tigger, and of course Mickey and Minnie.

Classic Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and a host of beloved Disney characters get a brand new stylized look in the Pook-a-Looz line created by Disney Consumer Products. The trendy designs will appeal to avid tween collectors, but Pook-a-Looz is still cute enough for kids of all ages! JAKKS’ CDI division launches novelty products based on the stylized look of Pook-a-Looz, including Pook-a-Looz Wobblers, Yip Yappers, Spinners and Walkers – perfect for collecting, displaying and trading!

For back-to-school, Pook-a-looz Yappers are on a keychain and feature characters that all school-age kids know and love, from Mickey and Minnie to Buzz Lightyear.  They are perfect for collecting and clipping onto your locker, backpacks, wherever!  Bring them in for show-and-tell or trade with your friends.

Ages 5+, SRP $4.99 Currently available at Walmart and Toys”R”Us stores nationwide, and next month at Target.

Do you collect Box Tops for Education, or know someone who does?  Brandon is not in school yet, but I have tons of co-workers who collect box tops at work.  The Safeway family of stores (which includes Dominick’s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi’s) is making it really easy for you to earn extra Box Tops in order to help one of over 69,000 schools!   Their new program called “2 Ways 2 Earn” allows you to earn extra Box Tops AND 10% of the purchase will also go towards the school of your choice!   Shop the Safeway family of stores to help your local school by September 14th.  More info follows.

Box Tops for Education has already given away over $320 million to help the more than 69 thousand schools participating. And if that wasn’t enough, earning Box Tops is even easier this year with four new brands participating in the program: Progresso Soup, Totino’s Pizza, Betty Crocker Cake Mixes and Gold Medal Flour.

To help your local schools even further just look for the “10% Goes Back to Schools” yellow school bus tags on over 2,000 of your favorite items throughout Safeway from August 11th – September 14th. When you purchase participating products with your Club Card, Safeway will give 10% of the purchase price to the local school of your choice.

Here’s how it works:

  • Check your receipt from August 11 – September 14. The total will be updated each time you shop.
  • Beginning on September 18, a redemption code will be printed at the bottom of your receipt.
  • Visit backtoschools.escrip.com before October 13 to choose your favorite participating local school, then simply enter your redemption code to make your donation.
