Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thin pages tear easily, won't hold up

I am not satisfied with it and would like to return it, but I have already started to fill it in! I am expecting my first child and have ordered 3 children's books from Revain (thanks, free returns!) to review and see which one I liked best. I returned 2 others because I liked that it was a slipsheet (thought I could take out pages I didn't need for a second shower for example) and I liked most of the 'hints'. It was cute too! However, my main issue with this is the subtlety of the pages. They are slightly thicker than standard paper. I've only started filling it in tonight and some of the pages are already starting to crumple/stretch a bit at the punch (and I'm careful). It's basically like paper in a binder - the pages are bound to break the more you turn them. Disappointing as I was hoping it would be so long before my daughter was old enough to look back one day! However, I don't think it could do without those little reinforcement stickers, which are ugly! I also can't delete unwanted pages because I didn't realize they have a lot in common with important pages! So at best you can only delete a few but stick with the rest. I just don't think it will last at all. Basically it's just a school folder with sheets of paper. Every page wears out with every use. I wish I had kept one of the tied up ones. The monthly photo slots were smaller, but I'd rather crop photos than worry about page breaks every time I use that. :-(

Pros
  • Our favorite children's book, Sweet Baby Girl, has many themed pages including: All About Mom, All About Dad, Family Tree, How Mom and Dad Met, My Photos. family and more!
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
