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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Height of Cool Alert: Crazy Stuff animal shaped bicycle & scooter helmets

Perfect for biking, scooting and skating 2-8 year old children, these delights by Danish company Crazy Stuff come in several popping designs – eagle, bunny, crocodile, cat, skull, and tiger. Standing out from the crowd, [...]

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 [...]

Mini Elephant Passport Covers

We’re headed off on a big trip in a few weeks time so when my mate Claire spotted these elephant print passport covers over at Baffinbag’s Etsy shop, I got very excited at the prospect of jazzing up the kids passports and they’re an absolute steal at only $7 each plus $3 shipping. Available in [...]

Abus “My First Bike Lock”

Big milestone for us this week, as we bought Tabitha her first bike – and of course, with such a big purchase comes lessons about responsibility, so a lock was on the shopping list too. Abus have made sure that even talking about nasty thieves needn’t be scary, though, with their absolutely delightful “My First [...]

Alfie’s presents: gift ideas for two-year-old boys (and girls)

I always ask people what their children received for birthdays and Christmas. Call me nosy, but I often get inspiration for my own gift purchases. And I’m always happy to return the favour, so just in case any of you have two-year-olds to buy for, here are some of the pressies Alfie received from his [...]

Bakker Made With Love aeroplane suitcase

  Holidays are definitely on my mind at the moment and, although we’re hardline Trunki devotees here, I couldn’t resist the charms of this divine retro suitcase by Indonesia-based Bakker Made With Love, from €28,95, which I discovered over at Little Zebra (one of my fave online euro stores). All ten colourways are gorgeous and it [...]

Chloe Owens Mobile Phone Pouches

Touch wood, it’s been two years since my last drowned/saturated in Nando’s hot sauce incident with my mobile phone. I may ‘reward’ myself with one of these delightful (you know I’m all over the owl one) handmade phone pouches by London based textile designer Chloe Owens. Made from felt and appliqued and embellished with vintage [...]

Buggysocks

Love this simple, very cool idea to jazz up your umbrella fold pushchair. Buggysocks are knitted handle covers that come in dots, stripes, and a two colour mix, in a dazzling array of colours. Never pick up the wrong pushchair again, but more importantly push yours in style with a dash of extra comfort. €14.20 [...]

Cosatto Zoomi Carseat

We’re on the lookout for spare carseats for the grandparents (taking out, putting back in, and taking out again the Maxi Cosi’s gives me a headache) and the thought of changing them again when the kids are four had me perusing booster options. Cosatto‘s Zoomi lasts from 9 months to 11/12 years and I’ll admit [...]
