Okay, in my last post I mentioned that I bought an E100 electric scooter for my daughter to give to her this Christmas.  Well, after receiving it, I decided to do a bit more research online to make sure I was ready to give it to her on Christmas morning.  I am so glad I did because I found out that you have to charge the batteries for up to 18 hours for the first time before you ride it.

I came across an article on Ezine Articles that reviewed the Razor E100 electric scooter and mentioned the above fact.  I am so glad I found that out; my husband is going to go over to my mothers house tomorrow to put it together and put the charger on it.  It should have a full charge on the batteries in time for Christmas morning.

She is going to be so happy; I can hardly wait to see her face.  Have a Merry Christmas all and a wonderful New Year!  

Okay, after a little research and a couple of positive comments to my original post, I decided to go ahead and purchase an electric scooter for my daughter this Christmas.  I’m just so excited for her cause I know she’s just going to flip when she sees it under the Christmas tree. 

I bought a pink Razor electric scooter from Amazon after a bit of shopping around.  They had the best overall price and free shipping.  I should get it way before the big day (its being delivered to my mothers house) and my husband will put it together on Christmas Eve. 

Thank you for the helpful comments left on my blog.  I truly do appreciate your insights.  Marry Christmas to all and have a great holiday season this year.

Hello all, this is my new blog post and I’m really happy to be here.  I know my title “How about An Electric Scooter?” is a bit strange, but I would really like some feedback.  We just finished Thanksgiving dinner a few hours ago and tomorrow is black Friday; you know the first official shopping day of the Christmas season.  That said, I have shopping on my mind.

My question is should I buy my daughter a Razor E100 Scooter for Christmas?  I have been doing a little research online, but I’m more interested in personal experience from others that have bought and used this scooter.  Many of the prices are at the $100.00 plus level and I want to make sure it’s worth the money before I pay that much for one gift.  My daughter has her heart set on one so I need to make a decision soon.

I’ve reviewed a few websites on the topic and I like this one the best so far: www.e100electricscooter.net, but I still would like some unbiased feedback.  Any helpful related posts to this topic would be deeply appreciated.  Thank you in advance and have a great holiday season. 

The baby monitor has come a long way over the years. In the past, monitors would transmit baby gurgles, cries, giggles and shrieks like a walkie-talkie. Today, there are many options for analog and digital baby monitors on the market. The best monitors can transmit video images, alert parents to the baby's mood, sense movement, monitor the heart rate, check the temperature of the room and even automatically phone parents when the baby awakens!

There are a number of helpful features to look for in a modern baby monitor. For instance, some offer both sound and lights, which is handy for parents who are working, on the phone, or would rather not hear a sudden, ear-piercing shriek through the receiver. Often, the louder the baby cries, the more lights flash. Also, video monitors can show a sleeping baby or a baby who is awake, also eliminating the need for audio tracking. Some wireless baby monitors come with more than one receiver, which is a good option for larger houses or two parents who are on-duty at the same time. Belt clips are ideal for the on-the-go parent who is moving around the house and doesn't want to be bothered with the hand-held receiver. After all, what good is a monitor if one forgets to have it in the room?

Analog and digital are the two main baby monitor types. Analog monitors transmit signals straight across a frequency band, much like a radio, whereas digital monitors encode the signal prior to transmission for greater privacy. Generally speaking, the digital variety are top-rated, although there's no guarantee that interference can be completely prevented. Even video monitors can fall prey to interference, particularly from microwave ovens, so it's buyer beware for many of these products. It's important, then, that parents check the warranty policy to ensure they can get their money back or exchange the monitor system, if need be.

There are many baby monitor brands to choose from, but here is a quick overview of a few popular purchase options. Consumers like the Evenflo Whisper Connect audio monitor because it offers two channels, a low battery indicator, a belt clip and sound lights, as well as a three-way talk feature so parents can listen, correspond and also talk to baby. The Fisher Price Baby monitor (Sound N' Lights) offers a range of up to 1,500 feet and alerts parents when they're getting out of range. The Graco baby monitor is loaded with features, including multi-child monitoring, 2,000-ft. range, night vision and zoom. Mobi offers unlimited receivers, wide camera angles, voice-activated video transmission and high-resolution screens. Summer has the largest selection of sound and video monitors that are loaded with features like night vision and volume control, although the range isn't as good as other models.
