Today’s review of the Chariot Bike Trailer comes from Chris who writes the blog Worrybomb – an amusing personal blog with fantastic pictures of his daughter: The Worrybomb.

Scootrix Wheel Whizzers for Scooters

Scooter accessories are clearly a hot trend what with Scoot’s scooter hooks, horns, streamers and forthcoming deck lites, drink holders and clip on lights, plus my survival kit for the school run, the Scoot n’ Pull being recently featured. Another buy for pimping their rides are Scootrix Wheel Whizzers, pattern making wheel caps that personalise [...]

The Pushchair Track: Cath Kidston Spray Flowers Maclaren Quest Sport

Must say, I’m quite feeling the latest addition to Maclaren’s ‘objects of design’ collection which is where they collaborate with major designers to create limited edition pushchairs. The spray flowers print by Cath Kidston is her second collaboration with Maclaren and looks divine on the Quest Sport pushchair making it a real statement piece. £230 [...]

Natural Mat Travel Cot Mattress

Travelling with babies has seen me pack the car to the gills for even the shortest weekend away. Often I took our travel cot even if there was one on offer at our destination as I always worried about what condition the mattress would be in. Even with our on travel cot they are far [...]

The Pushchair Track: Mamas & Papas Urbo

A few months ago Mamas & Papas paid for me to attend a blogging event and as I was taking Betsy along with me they sent her an Urbo to ride around in. You know I don’t class myself as much of a pram lover yet I was quite smitten by the Urbo. The Urbo [...]

Super Cool Alert! Scoot ‘n Pull

I’ve been caught out on several occasions with Saria too pooped after romping around to actually ride her Mini Micro Scooter home. Cue me then trying to juggle Nia, my handbag, possibly a pushchair and even some shopping. She’s also recently taken to wanting to travel with it to busier places which in itself can [...]

Starting School: Lunch Boxes

With Milla starting school in little over a week I’m busy preparing uniform, kit, name-tapes *yawn yawn yawn* With no pencil case required I’m letting Milla express herself through her packed lunch.First up is something to carry everything in. Peanut & Pip have an amazing selection of lunch bags all of which are loved by [...]

Hamster buggy bags

Ah, the dreaded buggy-tip. Those days may be far behind me now, but I can still remember the classic moments when the pushchair, over-laden with shopping bags, tipped over backwards, sometimes with baby Tabitha still strapped in. Even her hilariously stunned face didn’t make up for the utter annoyance, or, in the case of the [...]

10 Best: Festival Essentials

We’re heading off to kids’ paradise, aka Camp Bestival, next week and I know lots of you are too, so in preparation I’ve put together a checklist of things you might need for festivalling with under-fives. Firstly, transport. Last year, we were jealous of everyone at the evening gigs with sleeping children in carts; this year, [...]

The new Lascal Buggyboard Mini

We’ve abandoned using our Phil & Ted’s Sport especially as we’ve been going into central London a lot which means we’ve gone back to using our Maclaren Techno XT. Although Saria’s 4, she does still get pooped when we’re out and with a two week holiday in the US on the horizon, it was time [...]

The Pushchair Track: Coming Soon – UPPABaby G-LUXE

Yes that is a pushchair that you see standing up on its own. UPPABaby, the US brand behind the Vista travel system that I featured a few weeks back is making some major rustles on the pushchair block with its latest design, the G-Luxe . Aside from being cool enough to stand on its own [...]

Super Hot: New Bynto Goodbyn Lunchboxes

We’re major fans of Goodbyn lunchboxes which are recyclable, BPA and other dodgy stuff free and packed full of compartments with its own drinks bottle and stickers for customisation. That said, I was rather gleeful when I saw the new Bynto incarnations which are basically smaller three compartment lunchboxes (Goodbyns are huge) and still include [...]

The Pushchair Track: UPPAbaby Vista Travel System – HOT!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out at Huggle, a very cool parenting store in Swiss Cottage packed full of design led, super stylish practical buys, toys, and gifts as well as a cafe and classes. While I was there, I finally got a demo of the pushchair that’s taking the US by storm [...]
