Hot Buy of the Day: Wallaboo Footmuffs
With rumours of another biting Winter ahead of us my hot tip for keeping kids warm when out and about is a Wallaboo footmuff. After getting stranded outside in the first snow of the season last year it was clear to me that our regular buggy snuggle wasn’t up to scratch. After a little searching [...]
Envirosax for Kids
Personally, I never go anywhere without my Envirosax reusable shopping bag in my handbag. It’s so much simpler than carting around a canvas tote as it rolls up so small. After all, you never know when you’re going to have to do a bit of emergency food (or shoe) purchasing and nothing beats the feeling [...]
Hatley Umbrellas
Saria loves umbrellas and if she had her way, she’d be using one morning, noon, and night. We’re already a bit partial to Hatley who do lovely pyjamas that we featured recently, and now I discover that they also do umbrellas. Catering to a few tastes they have the lovely stars, dinosaurs, flowers and bugs, [...]
Cool Lunch Bags and Lunch Boxes Roundup
Saria started preschool this week (my baby’s growing up on me!) and in typical belated fashion, I’m now furiously hunting down a cool lunch bag or lunch box for her. Here are my favourites so far: Dante Beatrix Lunch Bags We love this NYC brand and these lunchbags are standout swoonsome! Made from heavy duty [...]
Quilted Backpacks by Stephen Joseph
It was a major cuteness alert when we were sent the owl version of these Stephen Joseph quilted backpacks. Padded, light, and roomy, owl fiends that we are, as soon as Saria saw it, she squealed in delight and packed it up, much to the chagrin of Nia who also has her almost 16 month [...]
Aladdin Bento boxes
I recently bought a grown-up Aladdin bento box for a friend’s birthday, and it was a huge success, so I was delighted to discover these cute kiddie versions. Ideal for camping and road trips (or nursery packed lunches) the insulated containers keep food hot (or cold) for up to three hours. They’re leakproof, dishwasher and [...]
Three wonderful windbreaks
A windbreak is a handy item to take along on a camping trip. Not only will it protect you from the elements, it extends your living area and affords you a bit of additional privacy. Here are three of our favourites. First up is The Reefer Sail Company’s upcycled version, £99 for three panels. Each [...]
Checking Out: My Carry Potty
Like a lot of parents, I’ve had my nervous moments about being out and about with a toddler that needs to wee..like now so when I heard about the My Carry Potty , a lightweight, leakproof travel potty styled like a suitcase, I jumped at the offer from eco friendly and toxin free children’s boutique [...]
Window Sox – Full Window Car Sunshades
I have been seeing these full window car sunshades around for a while and with a toddler so fair he ended a ten minute car trip with a burned cheek last week I went on the hunt for my own. After a bit of Googling and some suggestions on Twitter I bought Window Sox an [...]
Adventure BabyBanz sunglasses
I must admit that I was sceptical about babies wearing shades, assuming it was just an affectation on the part of the parents, until I read a feature about the importance of protecting eyes from the sun from an early age. Baby Banz are probably the best-known children’s sunglasses and for good reason. Designed in [...]
Picnica Rabbit Bag by Eding Post
We do love our products with multiple purposes here at BG so I was bound to like this sleek looking Picnica Rabbit tote bag by Japanese designers Eding:Post. One minute it’s a cuddly soft toy with a funky, minimalist chic (no one could accuse this bunny of being cutesy) and next it’s a bag carrying [...]

The Pushchair Track: Coming Soon! Stokke Xplory Rider
I’ve been asked on a number of occasions by Stokke Xplory owning readers whether there was a buggy board that I could recommend, as with the impending arrival of a newborn they really didn’t want to give up their pride and joy and go down the double pushchair route. Finally, whilst it’s not a double [...]
Super Hot Christmas Buy: Caterpillar Backpack by Miller Goodman
I was tipped off to this bag by Julie from Mash N Gravy, whose son is permanently attached to it, even sleeping with it at night! Brighton based design duo, Miller Goodman, are certainly ones to watch. We’re already big fans of their Shapemaker rubberwood blocks and their brilliant Playshapes which the bambino checked out [...]
Multimac 3 and 4-Seater Car Seats
Until now, when you have a baby, you’re basically committing to buying a few car seats until they reach 12 years old or 135cm. Have more than one child and you’re likely to find yourself shelling out for a ‘family car’ as well. Multimac looks set to revolutionise the multi car seat owning family. Their [...]
