Grand Finale #4 ~ PopATot


When I found out we would be getting a PopATot for review I was excited! I knew before we even had it that we would like it, but I had no idea how much we would LOVE it! I am so excited to share this amazing product with you all!




PopATot was created by parents, Evan and Stacy, who have 5 children! I personally think this idea is wonderful. When I was trying to describe to my husband what was coming in the mail for Ladybug, I described it as a cross between a card table, an exersaucer, and a fabric folding chair. He sort of got it, but when he finally saw it he totally understood my references!!!

I will let our many photos of Ladybug speak mostly for themselves (she is 5 1/2-6 months in all of these photos). We use this thing every day now, and in many different places throughout each day-it is that easy to move around.

My absolute favorite use for the PopATot is in our schoolroom. We have a fairly small schoolroom and I only need to have Ladybug in there sometimes, so I don't want a big baby item in there. PopATot is perfect because I can set it up and take it down quickly!

My bedroom is another of those places! She hangs out in my room often like this now!!

We have a 2nd story deck off of our bedroom, and the PopATot is perfect for the deck!!! We can't fit anything else out the small door, let alone leave something big out there in the weather. This is wonderful!
I set Ladybug up in the middle and the boys ride all around her on their riding toys!
She's all smiles and cuteness!!!
Pac Man likes the PopATot too ;)
I am so excited that one of YOU is going to win this awesome baby item, just in time for the holiday season. Won't this be wonderful to have for Thanksgiving or Christmas, when you are away from home? I am looking forward to bringing ours with us to visit family for Christmas this year! It folds up so small and fits in it's own sling bag so it is very portable!

I'd LOVE a PopATot for my little guy - we live out in the country & with 2 other boys & 2 older girls we are outside frequently - this would be perfect!!

With a super active 19-month old and a new little one on the way, I'd love to have somewhere for the new baby to play safely and watch his/her big brother while we try to do tot school!

Carrie said...

The Pop A Tot would be perfect for camp - where my hubby works & I volunteer when I can - we're expecting a baby girl in December, so we would use this a TON next summer! We live in a small house, too, so it'd be nice to have this instead of the Exersaucer set up all the time.

Carrie said...

2nd entry - my baby that I'd love to have this for is T minus 8 1/2 weeks and counting - due date Dec. 18th! :)

Carrie said...

3rd entry -I would definitely take pictures of my lil girl in the Pop A Tot & post it on my blog. :)

Kellie said...

I would LOVE one of these for Alyssa!! We don't have anything portable that we can carry around the house (or outside) for her to play in. I try to move her Buggy Car (which is an exercauser in the shape of a car) around but it is so bulky and wide and heavy...it's hard to move around some. It would be so nice to have something portable to take around!

Kellie said...

I would use this for Alyssa, who is 6 months old!

Kellie said...

I would LOVE to take a picture of Alyssa in it and blog about PopATot!!

(I will hopefully have the picture of Aaron and Alyssa watching their new brainy baby dvd up on a post this week...my computer crashed so I am a little frazzled right now but am still planning on getting that up this week!)

Kellie said...

On the picture page - I love the one that says "Mom can finally take a bath!" I would so be the one that would be setting it up in the bathroom so I can have a bubble bath! :-)

I also love the beach and the lake pictures!

This would be so handy!!

ok - I just went to our other computer that normall doesn't get used since I can't get anything to work on my laptop to watch the video segment from Great Day St Louis!

How lucky is she!!! Just a mom who had a great idea and now she is so very busy selling her product! That is just awesome! I love products that were created by moms. They are the best!

lifebythehandful said...

What a great idea! I hate how much room activity/bouncers take up and with baby number six on it's way I need all the space saving I can get not to mention the convenience it would allow when going places.

I love this!
My family, with 4 children, travels in an RV throughout the year with my husband's work and ministry. We do not have space there for big baby items and this would be perfect!

I love the beach photo! The beach is hard to enjoy when watching several small kids and holding onto a baby! This baby looks so happy!

We would love to own a PopATot for all the reasons you mentioned, also, all of the grandparents live out of state, so we travel a lot to see them. This would be such an awesome thing to be able to bring back and forth!

Packer Family said...

I would love this for Camping!!!!!

Lori P said...

My youngest daughter, Liberty, turned 6 months old yesterday! She would looooove playing in a PopATot!

Packer Family said...

My baby is 6 and 1/2 months old! and he would love it!

Packer Family said...

Evenspor said...

Our baby wants to stand ALL THE TIME. He needs something like this. My arms are getting tired!

Lori P said...

I we win a PopATot I would definitely take a picture and blog about it on my blog at www.lorislittleloves.com.

Evenspor said...

My little guy is four months old, five by the time we'd get it - just the right age for something like this.

Lori P said...

I watched the entire segment telling all about the start of PopATot. It's cool to know that it was created by a family that goes to "church" of some sort!

Lori P said...

I like the photos showing the baby: Chillin' in the PopATot outside while mommy or daddy is doing yard work.

Danielle said...

i would so LOVE a popatot. we live in a small mobile home with our 2 month old and our 2 year old. there's not a whole lot of space in the floor for the both of them so something that folds up when not in use would be perfect for us! that's my favorite part about it....that it folds up so i could store it until my son is old enough to use it!

Danielle said...

i would absolutely write a post on my blog and take a picture of my son in it if i win. :)

Danielle said...

my son that i would like a popatot for is 2 months old right now.

Bethany said...

My first child (a boy) just celebrated his four month birthday and would LOVE to play in this while I'm working from home.

Bethany said...

I would totally post a picture and blog about it if we won :)

Bethany said...

I love how content the kids look in it on the video!

Bethany said...

I like the "what's mom making for dinner" :) we would totally use it for that!!

Danielle said...

my photo that i think is a great idea for a use of the popatot is mom being able to take a bath now! being a mom of 2 i don't feel like i get to take a bath or shower on my own and that is an awesome use to help me do just that!

The Activity Mom said...

I just love the portability of it. It would be so nice to have something that folds down and goes up with ease. We do a lot of traveling so it would be nice to take with us.

The Activity Mom said...

My baby is due in January.

Cassie, Jase and Kirsten said...

We'd love the Pop-a-Tot, because we also have limited space where we are currently living and it would be a great way to entertain the baby!

Cassie, Jase and Kirsten said...

Baby Kirsten is 11 days old =]

Cassie, Jase and Kirsten said...

I love the trick-or-treating photo of using the PopATot while handing out candy!

Cassie, Jase and Kirsten said...

We would definitely post pictures on our blog if we won!

Jennie Shellenberger said...

This would be perfect for when we go to our favorite park or visit family out of town!

Jennie Shellenberger said...

My baby is due in four weeks... a perfect gift for Thanksgiving!

Brandi said...

We travel alot and don't have much room so it would be much better than not taking anything.

Brandi said...

I have an 8 month old that would love this!

Brandi said...

Of course I will take a picture..ok I admit it lots of pictures and post them on the blog

Brandi said...

I think the best use for it was right on the water edge on the rocks. the baby in POP A TOT is totally safe and not going over the water

Anonymous said...

I love that you can take it anywhere. We are always taking trips to see family and friends and this would be perfect! It would be a good christmas gift for my sister-in-law too.

I like the photo Mom can finally take a bath. This is perfect for the bathroom. Love it.

sharon said...

I'd like a popatot cause I am having my 3rd baby in just DAYS! By next summer we could really use one of these for the back yard since he will likely not be crawling yet!

Jennifer said...

I have not been blessed enough to find the man God has created for me or have children of my own, but I do babysit and volunteer every Sunday in our church nursery. I could find so many uses for the PopATot.

This would be such a convenience for our family, without just sticking the baby in a playpen and "jailing" her!

My baby girl would love this and so would her mama! She loves to be upright and watching her big brother and sister. This would allow her to do that and be safe from all their craziness! :)

My baby is 5 months old. :)

I LOVE the picture of that little sweetie and daddy in the mess hall.

Diana said...

With family out of state, this would actually fit in our car, and make visiting out of town so much easier. I love the fact that it's portable and light.

Diana said...

I have a little one coming in March that I'd use this for.

Diana said...

I love the picture on the PopATot site at the beach. It would keep baby out of the sand, but still allow him/her to enjoy the scenery, especially with the umbrella attachment, to keep away the sun. Genius!

Katy-Anne Binstead said...

I'd love to win this! I have three ages two and under and it would be great to keep the baby in while playing with the bigger boys.

Katy-Anne Binstead said...

My baby is two months old, I'd love one for when he gets just a little bigger.

Katy-Anne Binstead said...

I would take a picture of my baby in the PopATot and blog about it if I won.

Hi! I would love one because it would be a safe place for my little man to go and sit and play away from his older brothers 6 and 2. :) It would be comfy and he could still be upright and participate in our activities safely! :)

Omg! I can't pick just one photo! They are all soooo great...by the water, at the park/picnic, etc! But if I must the pix with the military daddies is great. A great way for baby to interact with daddy and all who are around. :) (I miss daddy!)

And I love the cup holders!

My son is just over 6 months old now!

We would definitely post a picture on the blog if we were to win!

Just one good idea? I think taking a bath is the best one!!
