The InGenuity Collection by Bright Starts {Review & HUGE Giveaway}
Sunday, March 21, 2010 Posted by Jolly Mom
When I was shopping for baby gear, there are a few things I looked for:
First things first, the InGenuity Playard is gorgeous! I absolutely love the neutral, calming colors and design. It will seamlessly fit with any home decor. Beautiful. The fabric itself is soft and comfortable and the mattress pad is thick and plush, which is of course--very important for baby. It has both a bassinet and changing station feature {can you say MULTI-TASKER?!}. What's unique about the InGenuity Playard is its Sleep Easy Incline feature, which allows the bassinet to be placed into two different sleep positions--flat or slightly inclined. This is the first time that I have ever seen an incline feature on a playard and it is honestly a must-have feature. Babies often have tummy problems, colic, stuffy noses, or trouble sleeping. Placing them on an incline can really help to soothe babies and help them sleep for longer stretches. That alone makes the InGenuity Playard a keeper in my book!
However, it has a ton of other features as well.
Just Right Height changing table makes it easier for parents to access baby while changing diapers
Changing table easily pivots to the side when not in use
Extra-large storage tray holds a full box of wipes, diapers, and more
Auto-lock wheels make the playard more stable when in use, but allows for easy room-to-room transport
Convenient travel bag
Another feature that I love is that the playard is very easy to fold and can be folded up while it is in bassinet mode. This is something Lucas' playard did not do and now that I have used the InGenuity Playard--there is no going back! This is the only playard on the market with this feature. Nice. Thank you Bright Starts!
You'd think that all these features would translate into a hefty price tag. Not so. At $99.99 at Target.com {plus FREE SHIPPING} the InGenuity Playard is very affordable and about $60 less than the playard I bought for Lucas when he was a baby.
The InGenuity Collection goes beyond the playard though. From a bouncer that bounces by itself, to a swing that runs on one set of batteries for babies entire first year, this collection of innovative gear products raises the bar on feature and fashion. Check them out!

when we were young my brother used to tease me over and over and over again and I just took it but one day I had enough and he was watching cartoons in the living room and I got a big firetruck and creeped up behind him and smashed it over his head and he started sobbing. I finally got my revenge. ha ha. think i was about 4 and he was 7. amypugmire@live.com
I would love the playpin.

I would like the playard. My funny story is that I got to name my sister. We had a favorite dalmation before she was born. So I named her after our dog. The doghouse had her name on it,also. I would tell her that story over the years.

My funniest sibling story is when I yelled at my son for trying to touch the stove when he was around 2 or 3. He said "Don't yell at me, yell at Heather (his sister). lol

My 2 and 3 year old grandchildren were spending a month with me. The 3 yr old boy was having problem sleeping and would crawl in bed with me each night. The 2 yr old found out and complained it was not fair. i tried reasoning (ha), that she was sleeping through the night. But 3 yr old to the rescue and he told her he would wake her and they both would climb in with Nana. So 2 grandchildren and Nana in a bed.

My sisters and I were playing "Superman" and my older sister and I were "flying" our younger sister. We landed her on my parents' waterbed and bumped her face on the side of the bed and chipped her tooth! Not funny at the time but we laugh about it all the time now.
I would choose the automatic bouncer.

My mom had just painted our shared bedroom in anticipation of selling the house (due to the fact that she was quite pregnant with a 4th child and we needed more room). My sister got in trouble and was confined to that room. We go in later, and Susi had written her name on the wall with a permanent marker. She swore it was our other sister who did it to get her into trouble. Sorry, Susi, but YOU are the one who makes your S's backward! Busted.

My daughter and niece are 3 months apart and I babysat her and those two could get into SO much trouble together! They powdered my bed with my good bath powder, painted their toenails with brush on lip gloss, salt and peppered the carpet by dumping the shakers out in the floor!
Id love the playyard since I still babysit and have 3 new babies coming in soon!

My funniest sibling story is from my own kids. When my son was first learning to talk he though his older sister's name was "Go Away" because she had told him that so many times. For months he would wander around the house yelling "Hey Go Away". We probably should have corrected him more often but it was just too cute! He did outgrow it after about a year!!
I would love the playard!

The story that always comes up when my two older brothers are around is how once they put me in a sleeping bag and rolled me down the stairs! Luckily I survived to tell the story. It's tough being the little sister.
I'd love a new playyard. Thanks!

I remember in high school my brother and I had music together. There was a kid picking on me so my brother waited till the teacher left the room and threw the kid in the trash can.
I would like the swing.
March 21, 2010 4:21 PM
Something funny that I remember about my brother was when he was in high school and my mom had went to the store and bought some Beggin Strips for the dogs and put them in the kitchen drawer. Well, mom and I had went somewhere and when we came back, my brother says to my mom, "Mom, don't buy that kind of beef jerky anymore, they aren't very good." My mom says, "What beef jerky? I didn't buy any beef jerky." lol, it was the Beggin' Strips for our dog. Twentyfive years later, we still give him grief about that.

When we were little, my youngest sister wouldn't give me a pillow I wanted. She was about 5 and I was 8 or 9. To keep me from getting the pillow, she bit down on it. Well, I just pulled really hard, and eventually the pillow flew out of her mouth - WITH her 2 front teeth! Good thing they were already loose! I think she was more surprised than scared!
I would choose the playard for my new niece!
March 21, 2010 7:16 PM
I would choose the play yard if I won. My sister and I used to hide our food that we didn't like when we were younger, so we didn't have to eat it, but my dad was smart and caught us. It was in our cup of milk.

A funny story…when my oldest sister and I shared a room, my sister smelled something horrible. She went to Dad to come smell me because she thought I had B.O. I had 2 family member's sniffing me. It turned out to be a stuffed animal's butt that was smoking. I thought the stuffed animal looked cool sitting in a lamp. She had the lamp on to read, and his butt almost caught fire. Glad it didn't!

When my twin sister and I were about 4 or 5 we got this illustrated series of books that answers simple scientific questions in words a child can understand. One of the books in this series was "what is a butterfly" which detailed the metamorphosis process, complete with a cartoon drawing of their eggs. After reading it we went to play in our grandparents garden and look for caterpillar eggs. We found a bunch of little round balls just like the book showed and ran back with handfuls to show our grandparents. Turned out it was rabbit poop!

One day we were racing back to my grandmothers through the yard.I noticed my sister had stopped a few yards from the fence.She looked at me and said,"You won the race,but I get the candy!" Then she took a huge bite of what she thought was a candy bar,but was really dog droppings!
I would like the playard if I won

So my loving daughter (7) asked her brother (5) who drew the pumpkins on his picture (she didn't think he did it himself) and he replied that he did. She said "I'm going to ask your teacher" in her snotty know it all voice. He, not realizing she was being mean spirited and not believing him replied in the sweetest, cutest voice "ok sissy, do you want me to remind you to ask her?" She didn't have a reply and I just died laughing inside.
March 21, 2010 10:25 PM
Oh, and I would love the swing!
March 21, 2010 10:39 PM
Since I don't have any siblings (only child), I felt like my best friend was my sister. When we played "school", I always made her be the math teacher (which, obviously, was worse than being the English teacher)
I would love the swing!

My youngest siblings(2 brothers and sister) and I would always play jail break. One night We wouldn't let our younger siter play so to get revenge she went outside by the side of the road and started screaming at the top of lungs. Since it was really late at night she woke the whole neighborhood up and we all got grounded for a week. We still laugh at her and her screaming that night to this day.

My sister was always really slow moving. One day a giant tortoise appeared on the back step before she got home. I said she was so slow even the turtle beat her home. The turtle actually had come from her school, too.

ok so I only have 1 right now so there isn't any sibling issues yet.. but when I was a kid my brother used to hit me and then run as fast as he could into the other room and act like I was crying for no reason. Well one time he punched me in the arm and when he went to run he turned around and ran right into my mom. SHe had seen the whole thing. Maybe not funny to him, but it was to me. Finally proved I wasn't a cry baby he really did hit me for no reason.

When I was little I used to share a room with my two younger sisters, and we would get so bored sometimes we would do really stupid thing. Well, one day we decided to put a coupole of mattresses below our bunk bed., and we started jumping from the top down to the bottome. It was very fun. Until my mom heard us and as she was walking in my youngest sister was jumping and heard her scream at us, made her move slightly to the right and she hit her head on the lightbulb in the middle of the ceiling sparks flew everywhere, it as very scary but funny too!!

When my daughter was 3 years old her grandma was sleeping in a chair and she went and got a bingo dauber and dabbed her grandma all over her face and arms.
I like the cradle and sway swing.

My sister and I are only 11 months apart so we are very close. I can remember when we were young, we decided to jump on our parents bed. Only thing is, I jump thur the window. I would pick the InGenuity Playard.

My brother and I were only 18 mo. apart, so basically we drove eachother crazy. My mom says when I was a baby, I was sleeping in my crib and my brother went in and threw every toy he could find on top of me. She came in and saved me, but we've always wondered if he was trying to kill me or share his toys with me!
I would love the Playard.

Fab giveaway!! Thanx for the chance. I really could use the portable swing!! Okay a story about my childhood would probably have to be an evening my brother and I were spending at my Gparents house. They wanted to take some pictures of us in my grandpa's garden and my brother kept trying to put his arm around me (I think we were about 8 and 6). I didn't want my brother to touch me and kept pulling away and my gparent's ended up w/pictures of me w/a scrunched face and disgusted looks. LOL Not a one turned out okay. :) Jenprincess88 at aol dot com

When I was four, my grampy told me that rabbits could talk on Easter morning- and took me out to the barn: Sure enough, one of the rabbits talked, but he sounded alot like my eldest brother, age 11( He was behind a bale of hay)I'd like the bouncer, please.

I was told this story because I was the baby in the story plus it was caught on a tape recorder ( you know the voice ones). I was a very fussy baby and cried all the time and my younger brother at the time was so tired of it he was 4 at the time. I can hear the tape of me crying and then in the back ground you can here my brother saying "dumb dumb baby go back into mommy's tummy" over and over dumb dumb baby. I guess he just couldn't stand me at the time haha. We get a long perfectly fine now. Now I am expecting my first baby and I am sure I will have many stories of my baby.
I really like the automatic bouncer it would be good for a newborn.

When my daughter was 2 and my son was 4 he had a little handheld video game. She wanted to play with it, but he took it away from her. She snatched it back grabbed the battery out of it and stuffed it in her mouth. Several hours later while in the emergency room to have the battery "retrieved" the doctor said to my son. You sure look bored sitting there. He said "I could be playing Nintendo if she hadn't eaten the battery!"

I forgot to say in my post that I would choose the InGenuity™ Cradle & Sway™ Swing if I were to win.
March 22, 2010 10:38 AM
It wasn't funny at the time, but when we were little my sister and I were fighting. She was running from me and I hit her with a HUGE rubber snake. This thing was monstrous! And good quality, it was from Disneyland. She immediately retracted and started screaming. I swear she had a welt all the way down her back that stuck out an entire inch. We still joke about it today.
I think I would choose the swing. Not sure though.

With 3 girls, 2 of which are drama queens I have tons of funny sibling stories.
One of the most recent is this.
My girls had been sick with a stomach bug that had been going around. So no school for the biggest. They were feeling better late in the afternoon.
My 3 year old comes to me and says "I need to go outside."
So I asked her what she needed from outside.
Her reply "I need to get a rope."
I asked what the rope was needed for.
and she says with a serious look on her face. "I'm going to tie up Caitlyn because she won't leave me alone."

My sister and I are five years apart and after she could walk, I kinda hated her. I used to hit her and then I would say "come here baby, I am so sorry" so she wouldnt tell on me. I was seven..it was pretty pathetic.

When we were kids, my older brother used to alway instigate me and my little sister to do things. For exampe, he would tell us to box each other and then when we got in trouble, he always stepped aside & played innocent and we got in trouble and he did not. I'd like the playard please.

My siblings and I always laugh at our childhood pinching wars. When we were mad at each other, we would pinch back and forth. It was crazy. I would choose the Cradle and Sway swing.

When my sister was 3 and I was 6 we went for a walk and got into a place where we weren't allowed. My sister fell & cut her elbow. Because I was scared of getting into trouble I went home and bandaged her up with a bunch of band aids and then calmed her down and took her for a walk, tell her over and over again not to tell Mom. Of course that is the first thing she did! She ended up needing stitches, oops!

When I was younger my brother and I were fighting and running around the house, my parents told us to take it outside so we literally did take it outside, we fought in the front yard and i clocke dhim one and ended up cutting my fist on his earing which inturn was "stapled" to his neck form the blow. we both ended up in the hospital together, I think it was over some pencils or something not even worth a few cents.

My mom likes to tell the story about when my sister was first born and at the time I was 5 and liked magicians - - especially the trick where they pulled a tablecloth out from under a fully set table and everything stayed. She did not think it funny, however, when my new baby sister was laying on a receiving blanket and I asked "Hey, Mom...want to see my tablecloth trick?"
I would like the playard.

I think that my funniest sibling story is when my brother was in bed with a broken leg I painted his toe nails pink while he was sleeping....since he had a broken let he couldn't chase after me when he found out what i had done.
I would love to have the play yard.

I'm the youngest of eight so my oldest brother is quite a bit older, but that didn't stop him from picking on me one little bit lol. One day he hid in a nook under the stairs and scared me so badly that my sister said I jumped higher and screamed louder than she had ever seen. The whole family thought that was hilarious, but I couldn't stand for such humiliation. I had to get back at him. I was only about 6 or 7 years old so I thought that the absolute scariest thing EVER would be for me to drape a sheet over my head and shine a flashlight underneath. So I crept into his room to "scare" him. He was SUCH a good sport! He pretended to be scared and helped restore a small bit of my dignity. He's such a good brother ;)
I would definitely have to pick the playard! It looks like it has such great features!
