This review is from: Oral-B Professional Care Deluxe Electric Toothbrush – (Health and Beauty)
I had been happily using Sonicare for about seven years. I read positive reviews about Oral B and decided to try it. A key reason I decided to try the Oral B is that I had to unscrew the brush head of the Sonicare once a week and clean the gunk out of it. I hated doing this and often needed a cotton swab to clean the gunk out of the inside of the brush head.

In contrast, the Oral B is much easier to clean. After each brushing I just pull the bush head off and rinse it off and wipe everything off with a towel. It takes less than a minute and the toothbrush is always clean. The Sonicare takes much longer to clean and the process is less pleasant.

But how does the Oral B clean? The smaller brush head of the Oral B makes it easier to clean my back teeth and they are cleaner than they were with the Sonicare. For my front teeth the two products are comparable.

If you want to take the charger with you when you travel the Sonicare charger is smaller than the Oral B charger. But for trips of a week or two taking the charger just isn’t necessary.

They both have 2 minute timers that prompt you to switch to different quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds. The Sonicare shuts off after 2 minutes but the Oral B signals that 2 minutes are up but keeps going in case you want to go for extra credit by brushing more than 2 minutes. I just shut it off after 2 minutes. I prefer the Sonicare approach on the timer but it’s not a big issue for me.

After 2 minutes, the Oral B leaves my teeth — front and back — squeaky clean and the brush and handle are easy to keep clean, which is nice considering that this is a tool that you put in your mouth. There is also a device to attach to clean your tongue which seems to work well.

I’m glad I switched from Sonicare and wouldn’t go back. The Oral B leaves my mouth cleaner and is easier to maintain.

Just like a smile, no two mouths are the same. Thats why the Sonicare Elite 9500 is designed with the new Custom Care System, offering two speeds and two brush head sizes for more individualized brushing. The Elite 9500 has patented sonic technology, high-speed bristle motion, and dynamic fluid cleaning action that gently and effectively reaches deep between teeth and below the gumline.

The Elite 9500 is built for your individual oral care needs. 31,000 bristle sweeps per minute removes harmful plaque.Sonicare is the only Sonic toothbrush with a slim angled neck, contoured-fit bristles and ultra high speed bristle speed for greater plaque removal in hard to reach areas. Plus, Sonicare is the #1 personally used and recommended brand by U. S. dental professionals.

Building better health into every Sonicare.The mouth is the gateway to your body. It is increasingly being identified as a vulnerable entry point for bacteria associated with serious medical conditions. Evidence also continues to emerge that shows a link between gum disease and a variety of systemic conditions, including diabetes, heart attack and stroke, and the occurrence of pre-term low birth weight babies. So its essential that when you think of total body health you include your mouth by focusing on gum disease prevention.

Philips Oral Healthcare is dedicated to developing innovations that result in superior oral health and, therefore, can help improve and maintain overall health.

About Sonicares Patented Technology and Custom Care SystemSonicares unique patented combination of high speed bristle motion with extra wide sweeping motion creates effective, yet gentle dynamic fluid cleaning action. So you get superior plaque removal, especially in hard-to-reach areas, deep between teeth and below the gumline. In fact, this technology generates 31,000 bristle sweeps per minute, and laboratory studies show that it removes harmful plaque bacteria up to four millimeters beyond the bristle tips — even below the gum-line. With the Sonicare 9500 in hand, you can count on naturally whiter teeth and healthier gums.

Sonicare — Use it for your mouth, use it for your body Diabetes:Studies have shown that people with diabetes are more susceptible to oral infections and gum disease than those without diabetes. The Sonicare toothbrush is proven to reduce gingivitis, contributing to better oral health and, therefore, better overall health.

Cardiovascular:People with severe gum disease may have up to double the risk of stroke or heart attack. And Sonicare is clinically proven to reduce plaque, the root cause of gum disease, making Sonicare an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Pre-term low birth weight:When severe gum disease is present, some women are up to seven times more likely to deliver a pre-term low birth weight baby. And Sonicare toothbrushes are clinically proven to reduce gingivitis, so they can significantly improve oral health for better overall health.

Sonicare Elite 9500 Features 2 Contoured Brush heads Standard size is ideal for complete cleaning Compact provides procession care 2 Speeds Max for a thorough everyday clean Gentle for sensitive areas and gum massage Programmable Quadpacer 30-second interval timer encourages thorough brushing of each quadrant of your mouth. Optional 30 seconds of brushing to focus on problematic areas Easy Start Gently increases power over the first 14 uses to ease you into the Sonicare experience. Smart Timer 2-minute timer helps to ensure dental professional recommended brushing time. Deluxe Recharge Gauge Green light tracks battery charge and yellow lights signal when to recharge. Great for travel, fully charge Sonicare will last for up to two weeks of normal brushing. Ergonomic Tapered Handle Tapered handle with non-slip soft grip designed to improve maneuverability.

Do yourself a favor and buy the Sonicare FlexCare. The newer FlexCare models are an upgrade without the screw-on design flaw of this Sonicare model. This model has a hideous design where the saliva and other brushing liquids seep down into the inner mechanisms of the hand piece and pool up in a really disgusting way and requires you to take it apart and clean off inner crevices made up of metal and plastic parts. The new design eliminates all that slew of slime. This brushing action is fantastic, just like the new one, but this design stinks…literally.

…but I’ll say it anyway. This is an excellent product. I bought the 7300 model…I only wish everything I buy was of this quality and effectiveness. Everyone I tell about Sonicare says something like “Oh,yes, it’s supposed to get your teeth whiter” or “Yeah, I have one of those where the brush spins.” I then explain to them that no, it’s not a spinning brush, and no, I don’t use it because it makes my teeth whiter (although it does). When my dentist sold me my first Sonicare, he told me that in his opinion using Sonicare is like having microsurgery for gum disease, without the trauma and expense.My next 3-month checkup after starting to use my Sonicare was the first one in my life where I had no cavities, no work to be done, and no bleeding gums. I’ve had several similar checkups since then. I attribute these results to Sonicare since that was the only change I made in my dental regimen.If you don’t already have a Sonicare, buy one. You won’t regret it. Buy one for everyone you love. It may sound like a lot of money for a toothbrush, but it’s worth way more than what it costs. I’ve already saved thousands in dental bills by using Sonicare. If mine somehow got lost, stolen or broken, I’d have to buy another one the same day. I’ll never be without one again.

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Advance 4100 Sonic Power Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)
Back in 1997, I thought I was doing a good job brushing my teeth with a manual brush once a day. However, I hadn’t had a dental checkup for quite some time due to being a poor college student. So when I finally graduated and got a decent job with health benefits, I figured it was time to schedule an appointment. To my horror, the dentist said that my teeth were a mess, and that I needed to have immediate deep cleaning, with further work and checkups done every three months. She also recommended I buy a Sonicare toothbrush and some floss.

I immediately complied and began using my Sonicare twice a day, along with flossing in the evening. When I went back three months later, she was amazed at how much my oral health had improved. My teeth looked better, I had a lot less plaque build-up, and my gums were pink and healthy. She revised her initial diagnosis and said I was OK to resume a normal checkup/cleaning schedule every six months. Whew.

Of course, I’ve used a Sonicare ever since. I had to replace my first one due to charging failure, but I figure one blowout in nine years isn’t so bad. The only usage issue I had was learning to let the brush do the work instead of pressing it down. I was counseled to merely hold it in place and let the bristles glide over my teeth and gums. That, along with toothpaste for sensitive teeth, helped ease the discomfort I was feeling after inadvertently brushing too hard. The two-minute auto shut-off is helpful, since it ensures a consistent and effective brushing period.

If you haven’t started using a Sonicare toothbrush yet (or something similar), then take the plunge. Make sure you replace the heads when they wear out in order to maintain maximum cleaning power (it’s kind of easy to put that off). I wish they had been around when I was a kid, since I endured tons of painful dental work done that could’ve been prevented. The Sonicare helped save my adult teeth, and for that I give it my highest recommendation.

This review is from: Cosco Scenera Convertible Car Seat (Baby Product)
We’ve just started using this carseat for our 19 month old daughter who is 22 lbs and 29 inches. She is our fourth child, so we have a bit of experience with different seats and I like this one better than those that have cost us more money. We also used this car seat front facing for our four year old son and always had an easy time with it. He was older when we bought i for our second car and never used it rear facing though.

Please note that the instructions for this carseat say that your child must be 34 inches to sit facing forward!!! My 19 month old is on the smaller half of the growth chart at 29 inches, but I can’t imagine that any twelve month old (old enough to face forward) is 34 inches tall.

We are using it rear facing, but to get the level line horizontal with our seat, which gives it the recline that other reviewers have complained about (so make sure you check that line!), we had to put the carseat in the middle of the back seat or else have the passenger seat pulled all the way forward in our Dodge Durango SUV. We also had to put part of a swimming noodle under the seat so it would recline enough. It is very snug in there though and installing it was not any different that any other seat we’ve had. Our daughter has plenty of leg room (another complaint that I’ve heard about extended-age rear facing).

Please check to make sure your one year olds who are FORWARD facing meet the height requirement to do so in this carseat. They must be 22 lbs AND 34 inches AND one year old to forward face in this seat!

This review is from: RECARO ProSPORT Combination Harness To Booster Car Seat, Blue Opal (Baby Product)
Bought the Prosport 5 months ago (not from Amazon- out of stock then).
Loved the quality and construction……we have 2 Britax Frontiers already (wifes car & grandparents car) and I needed a seat for mine. Read that this did very well in tests and because of the higher weight limit bought it unseen/tried.
Harness straps are VERY short.
My daughter is now almost 5yr old, 46 lbs and 46 1/2″ tall. The straps have almost no adjustment left if wearing anything more than a sweater.
The weight/height claims appear to be ‘advertising optimism’.
The headrest height adjuster that carries the shoulder strap is already at its maximum, when she adds any torso length the shoulder straps will start to slope down from her shoulder into the seat back, so will be unusable as the straps are supposed to be level with or above shoulder height.
I would like to see the child that is 90 lbs and 50″ tall AND fit this harness !!!!!.
Called Recaro and was promised another harness would be mailed incase mine was defective, never received it or the promised follow up phone call after “we check with our techs’ “…….
Our Britaxs’ even though having lower weight and height limits still have growing room left however. So beware, check fit before buying or be prepared to return.
Also the belt webbing is wider than the slots in the 2 waist latch plates, which then do not slide freely when buckling her in.

View larger.BRITAX 360 Degree ProtectionThe BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 55 features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes – the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:

  • keeping your child in the vehicle,
  • diverting crash forces away from your child,
  • helping to slow down your child’s body,
  • minimizing movement of your child, and
  • protecting your child’s brain and spinal cord.

SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head Safety Designed with SafeCell Technology, the ROUNDABOUT 55 features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. This compression significantly lowers the center of gravity and counteracts the forward rotation of the car seat, delivering unprecedented performance in a crash.

The ROUNDABOUT 55 also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.

Side Impact Protection for Added SecurityTo keep your child safe in the event of a side-impact collision, the ROUNDABOUT 55 includes Side Impact Protection. Side Impact Protection is a system composed of a rigid seat shell with deep side walls and energy-absorbing EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam lining the shell. These combined features work together to protect your child’s head and chest from incoming side-impact crash forces by distributing the forces over a larger surface area, helping shield your child from vehicle intrusion and contain your child’s head and body in the seat.

Premium Fit and Comfort FeaturesWhether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they’ll enjoy that the ROUNDABOUT 55 reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad, they’ll always ride in style and comfort. A 55-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with four harness-height settings ensure that your growing child will ride safely and comfortably. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and snugly fit smaller infants into the car seat.

Ease-of-Use for Safety and ConveniencePacked with perks for parents, the ROUNDABOUT 55 makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt.

Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you’re placing your child in the seat.

The BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 55 Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Britax Roundabout 55 Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Smokey Pearl (Baby Product)
We ordered 2 of the Britax Roundabout 55 carseats in smokey pearl, one for each of our vehicles. We have this carseat installed rear-facing in both a 2005 Toyota Camry and a 2005 Chevy Silverado extended cab pickup, and it fits great in both vehicles. In the Camry, the carseat is installed behind the passenger, and there is lots of leg room for the person riding in the passenger seat – the passenger seat is almost all the way back. Our previous carseat was a Graco Snugride, and the Roundabout 55 takes up MUCH less of the passenger’s leg room. In the pickup, we have the carseat installed in the rear center seat. We initially installed it behind the passenger, but rear-facing, this seat was not a good fit – the passenger seat had to be almost all the way forward. However, there is plenty of room for the seat to rear-face in the middle and the seat does not affect the position of the driver or passenger seats at all.

We have been using this carseat for about a week, and so far so good. The seat installed easily using the LATCH system, we have not tried a seatbelt install with this seat yet. The quality of this seat is obvious, especially when compared with our previous seat. The cloth cover is a soft, plush fabric, and the colors are true to what is shown in the picture. The dots on the cream background are a grayish-brown color and beige, and the edging is a medium-brown color. The seat is well padded, and our daughter seems comfortable and happy in it. The velco tabs for holding the harness straps back when not in use are a nice touch. The buckle on the 5-point harness is not any more or less difficult to latch and unlatch than the Graco seat. The harness is much easier to adjust on this seat compared to our previous seat, except (as another reviewer mentioned) that the adjuster strap does get trapped between the carseat and the seat back when rear-facing. However, that is not a big deal to us, since we don’t often adjust the harness straps anyway.

One of the reasons we chose this seat is because it can potentially rear-face to 40 pounds. However, I am almost certain that our daughter will outgrow this seat rear-facing on height well before she reaches 40 pounds. Same thing for forward facing. Right now, our 9 month old is 20.5 pounds and 28.5 inches and the shoulder straps are threaded thru the 2nd set of holes, and is not far from moving up to the 3rd set of holes. However, if we can keep her rear-facing in this seat until she is 2-2.5 years old, and forward facing until she is 4 or so, I will be satisfied.

View larger.BRITAX 360 Degree ProtectionThe BRITAX ADVOCATE 70 CS features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes – the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:

  • keeping your child in the vehicle,
  • diverting crash forces away from your child,
  • helping to slow down your child’s body,
  • minimizing movement of your child, and
  • protecting your child’s brain and spinal cord.

SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head Safety Designed with SafeCell Technology, the ADVOCATE 70 CS features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. This compression significantly lowers the center of gravity and counteracts the forward rotation of the car seat, delivering unprecedented performance in a crash.

The ADVOCATE 70 CS also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle seat and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation of the car seat to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.

Side Impact Cushion Technology for Advanced SecurityOffering both Side Impact Cushion Technology and True Side Impact Protection, the ADVOCATE 70 CS delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact crash. Side Impact Cushion Technology is comprised of energy-absorbing cushions on either side of the child seat that reduce side-impact crash energy by 45% by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger. The side-impact cushions are designed to compress during a side-impact crash, transferring crash energy away from the seat before it reaches your child. The ADVOCATE 70 CS then uses True Side Impact Protection to keep your child’s head, neck, and spine properly aligned to limit injury during impact.

Click & Safe Technology for the Safest FitWhen it comes to children’s safety in the car, it’s vital that they are properly secured, because loose harness straps can leave them vulnerable to injury during a crash. The ADVOCATE 70 CS assists in the process of securing your child with the Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator feature, which provides an audible sound when you are tightening the harness to indicate when it is in the range of appropriate snugness.

Premium Fit and Comfort FeaturesWhether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they’ll enjoy that the ADVOCATE 70 CS reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad, they’ll always ride in style and comfort. A 70-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with ten harness height settings provide a snug, custom fit for your growing child. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and securely fit smaller infants into the car seat.

Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience Packed with perks for parents, the ADVOCATE 70 CS makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without the guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt. The quick-adjust harness system and buckle allow you to reposition the harness height without disassembling the harness straps.

Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you’re placing your child in the seat, and the plush covert set with matching pads removes easily for cleaning without requiring you to disassemble or uninstall the car seat.

The BRITAX ADVOCATE 70 CS Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Britax Advocate 70 CS Click and Safe Convertible Car Seat (Current Version), Onyx (Baby Product)
For our first child, we’ve had at least six or so carseats so far, between our cars, Grandma’s car, and just not liking some models. We now have two Britax Advocate 70 CS’s and, if we could go back, would only have ever purchased these (once past the carrier stage). We looked at a number of different car seats and reviews when picking the various carseats – to be honest, all of the others were not cheap, but certainly lower priced than this carseat. The reason I originally purchased this model was because it was the only carseat that had a small enough base to fit in the back seat of my 2009 Challenger (there’s not a lot of room there). I fell in love with it immediately, though.

The auto-click when the seat is tight enough is really great – always check to make sure, but it’s always been right for me. Next, there’s installation – some seats are a little easier to install with the “pistol-grip” clips that go right on. The Britax is a little more difficult to get around. However, ease-to-fit, the Britax is the best. What I mean by this is that, while installation is just a little bit harder than with some seats, the Britax easily gets to the correct tightness while we’ve had other seats that just always have seemed a little loose – not a feeling you want about a carseat.

The best part of the Britax is really the structure itself. My son got a little sick in the car once, which led to a quick rush home and throwing of the carseat out of my very-loved car, with my significantly-more-loved son being cleaned up and comforted at the same time. Once he was in new clothes and back to running around playing, I set to the chore of cleaning the seat – I was not looking forward to this. However, it turned out to be a very simply job and, after washing and soaping everything several times, I then became worried that everything might not go back to being as soft as it was. However, I was wrong – all the muck came out and all of the felt hung up and dried out just fine – word of warning, don’t leave the manual in the carseat pocket while cleaning it… it leads to no longer having a manual (available online, though).

Really, the only downside to this carseat is the price, but, as I mentioned, it’s well worth it.
