The Banana Splits, a hugely popular costumed rock band from the 60′s is back!
Starting September 2nd, The Banana Splits will star in brand new comedy shorts and music videos on the Cartoon Network.
While I don’t remember The Banana Splits, my husband does and apparently was a huge fan. When I told him The Banana Splits were coming back he was really exited.
Together we all went to www.bananasplits.com and watched ALL the music videos.
After about 2 minutes our daughter was singing Tra la la…One banana, two banana, three banana, four…it was really addicting.
The band is made up of 4 characters, Fleegle (dog), Drooper (lion), Bingo (gorilla), and Snorky (elephant). The characters and show is similar to me to Yo Gabba Gabba with a influence on singing and dancing.
The show looks really cute and I know both my daughter and husband are both interested in tuning in.
If you grew up watching The Banana Splits this is a great time to get together with your child and sing songs and dance to some fun, upbeat music.

About a year and a half ago I made a post about the Importance of a 5 point Safety Harness Car Seat. It contained a moving video about a little boy who lost his life in an auto accident which may have been saved if he had been in a 5 point safety seat. Unfortunately, I did not have the funds at the time and it took me a year later to be able to get the seat. I am happy to say I am now the proud owner of a Britax Regent and am happy to finally review it.
From that moment on I KNEW I wanted to get the Britax Regent for my toddler daughter. To be honest, I was not prepared for the physical size of this car seat when it arrived on my doorstep. To say the box is huge is an understatement. I thought for sure it was never going to fit in our small SUV. Once I took it out of the box I realized I was really going to get my moneys worth from this car seat as it was solid. The fabric is ultra soft and my daughter was just as excited as I was to be able to sit in it. My husband installed the seat very easily which is a good thing as he is not very handy (sorry!), and it does not look as big in the car as it did out of the box.
Since we only have 1 child (at the moment) we installed the car seat in the middle of the back seat and there are no obstructions in our rear view. My daughter is now 35lbs and she has so much room to grow in this thing. It is also much easier for me to get her in and out of this seat than our old one (Graco). I really love it and am SO happy I committed myself to buying this seat. It looks and feels so much safer than our last one. I also love the fact that the weight limits goes up to 80lbs so we have a good while left in this car seat.
Safety Features Include:
- Comfort foam and EPS protective foam
- Patented HUGS system, tangle-free 5 point harness with belly pad
- Flexible buckle LATCH system and Versa-tether
- Four shoulder slots for closer fit and one pull front harness adjustment
- Forward facing: At least 1 year old and 22 to 80 pounds
Like anything else proper installation is crucial to the overall safety of the car seat. Britax Car seats have an expiration date of 6 years after they are manufactured, this date can be found on the backside of the seat.
