StrollerCoaster: A Parenting Podcast

I loved this episode on encouraging play early and often. With children spending more time on screens and less outdoors, it provides insightful information on how the lack of play affects their physical and mental well-being. The segment about the inner ear not getting enough fluid was particularly striking—who knew? As a huge advocate for living playfully at any age, I think this episode is a great reminder to integrate play into everyday life.

Beware! Majority of positive reviews here are written by EMPLOYEES of Munchkin Inc., the company behind this branded podcast, with no LEGALLY required DISCLOSURE of company insider status. I was REQUIRED to write a review my first week at Munchkin & email the company a screenshot of what I wrote—pressuring me to rate StrollerCoaster highly! Munchkin’s 4.9-star rating is predicated on forced employee ratings and reviews that LOOK LIKE they were written by everyday, honest people who have no connection w/ the company and weren’t compensated in any direct or indirect way. This is ILLEGAL and violates many FTC regulations. Munchkin knows all this but prefers to deceive consumers. Caretakers of babies and toddlers deserve better.

Whether you’re knee-deep in diapers or just enjoy understanding the parental perspective, "Strollercoaster" is a must-listen. The podcast brilliantly balances professional insights with personal stories, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that resonate with anyone interested in the world of parenting. The host's engaging style makes each episode feel like a conversation with a wise friend.

I’m a new parent and this is one of my go-to podcasts. Lynn Smith is a great host. I have an upcoming trip with my toddler and it will be their first flight. I just listened to the traveling with kids episode and have a laundry list of new tips. Thanks!
