On Trial: LIKEaBIKE Mini

April 1, 2010 by · 4 Comments 

Never has a test product caused so much excitement at Bambino Goodies but when Milla and Saria were sent LIKEaBIKEs to trial there were squeals, clapping and jumping for joy (and yes, not just from the girls!) Milla has been testing the LIKEaBIKE Mini while Saria will be giving you her verdict on the LIKEaBIKE [...]

Adventure BabyBanz sunglasses

March 8, 2010 by · 2 Comments 

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 [...]

Storksak Emily Bag Adoration (A Review of sorts…)

December 4, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

I’ve been rather lusftul over the Emily bag by the British label behind designer changing bags, Storksak since last year, so when I was given the opportunity to lay my mitts on one for a few weeks, I did a little jig in delight! Handbag lovers will know that it all comes down to personal [...]

The Pushchair Track: Bugaboo Bee Review

October 23, 2009 by · 2 Comments 

When baby Nia was about two weeks old, Bugaboo loaned me one of their Bee’s, which I’ve been using when the kids aren’t in the Phil and Ted’s sport (review of that coming soon!). Concept: If you’ve ever baulked at buying any of its predeccessors, either because of price or bulk, the Bugaboo Bee bridges [...]

Review: Mamascarf

September 14, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

I featured the Mamascarf, a breastfeeding scarf that let’s you cover up in style and acts as a support for your baby whilst you’re out and about, several months ago before I’d had baby Nia. Since then, the designer Keira’s been on TV, in the papers, and has seen the Mamascarf worn by the likes [...]

The Pushchair Track: Bugaboo Gecko Review

April 16, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

We’ve long touted the Bugaboo Bee here at BG, which aside from being super stylish and more compact is actually lighter on your wallet than the famous Chameleon. There is another alternative (a bit of a blast from the past) though in between the two as Emma explains… Concept: The Bugaboo Gecko is the Chameleon’s [...]

Review: Ramalama Infant Carrier

March 26, 2009 by · 3 Comments 

When it came to wearing my baby in the early months, I was a babasling girl-about-town. At almost eight months, my baby girl is now too heavy for me to carry very far so I was interested to find out whether the Ramalama infant carrier, which is designed for babies aged six months and older, could live [...]

Review: Formfix Pillow

March 19, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

As a scarily nearly mum-to-be, sleep (and Montezuma’s Orangutang chocolate) are paramount on my list of priorities. But the burgeoning bump seems to disagree and many nights have been spent tossing and turning in search of a comfortable position. Having tried several traditional maternity pillows to no avail I decided to take my quest off [...]

Book Review: My Bump and Me: From Morning Sickness to Motherhood – An Honest Diary of My Pregnancy

March 12, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

Emily our multiple parenting columnist recently reviewed a copy of Myleene Klass’ pregnancy diary on her own blog, More Than Just a Mother, and we had to share it here at BG as it’s hilarious! I wanted to like this. I really did. Not least because I so wanted those nice people at Virgin to [...]

Elli writes… If you’re at (or soon to be at) the weaning stage and are blending vegetables like your life depends on it, you will be interested in a kitchen gadget that makes the task easier. The NScessity 4 in 1 Food Blender aims to do exactly that. Concept: We’re talking ’4 in 1′ here, [...]

Review: Didymos Sling

February 12, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

Fresh from my recent review of the Moby, I’ve been trying out a Didymos sling. The Concept: The Didymos is a woven wrap sling, and like the Moby is a long piece of fabric but not stretchy. For comparisons sake, one is like t-shirt fabric, the other is like curtain fabric. The idea is that [...]

Review: Küster K1 Highchair

February 9, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

Ever since I laid eyes on Küster’s collection of “beautiful and useful products for children”, I’ve been a huge fan, so of course when we were offered the opportunity to ‘borrow’ their K1 highchair for a few weeks, we jumped at the chance. Testers: Moi, the boyf, and the bambino, who was 19 months at [...]

Review: BabaSling

January 28, 2009 by · 3 Comments 

Elli writes… When I first peeked into the world of baby-wearing, I remember feeling totally bamboozled by choice. I knew the right thing to do was to go to a baby carrier specialist shop and try some on to find out what would suit me, but something held me back… I’m not proud to admit that [...]

The Pushchair Track: Petite Star Zia4 Travel System Review

January 26, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

Kat writes…When looking for a pram/pushchair which will take you from birth to toddlerhood and beyond, there are countless travel system options on the market.  Often they are a compromise between the two functions and don’t give you the best but the average of both worlds.  When you factor in the cost at around £250 – [...]
