Little Helper Baby Aqua High and Low Chair review
This is a highchair that you will either love or hate. It’s not flashy, or posh, or patterned, nor does it have a million and one functions. Which is why I love it. Jacob is 9 months old and has been sitting confidently since 6 months. This highchair is perfect for him – but wouldn’t be very supportive for a wobbly sitter. It was very simple to put together, and easy to take apart to put in the car if you’re...
Kickers Lego School Shoes
Shoes are a tricky thing to talk about – I mean, just how exciting can a pair of school shoes be? Well… if they have Lego bricks on them, apparently very exciting :) The collaboration between Kickers and Lego has meant that for the first time ever the 7yr old is very very VERY excited to put his shoes on in the morning – and to keep them clean too. Oh yes – you heard me. He cleans them. Without prompting. There is a huge range of...
Mamas & Papas Tour buggy review

Puppies and Soldiers in the garden…
… and an attractive Death Stalker (apparently) too. The puppy, of course The Soldier – hat and jacket models own. Sigh. The Death Stalker. Lovely. We’ve been sent a pack of face paints by the fab people at Snazaroo, so with a holiday afternoon meandering past and no one having any better suggestions I offered to paint a face. Or three. Well – my dodgy artistic efforts aside (GCSE art wasn’t much help) it...
Pictures by Bear… Kids Tough Digital Cameras #MyKidsPhotos
We’ve had the Fisher Price Kids Tough Digital Cameras on review – ostensibly for Jolly, who at 6/7 is just too young (and ham-fisted) to trust with a proper camera. But as much as he loves it, as soon as he puts it down it is picked up by Bear. Well, it’s supposed to be tough enough to handle a toddler, so we let her to see what would happen (in the interests of serious reviewing of course, and nothing whatsoever to...
UK Sling Companies Put Baby Safety First
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recently raised concerns about “bag-style” baby carriers. It is thought that 14 deaths have occurred in the US over the last 20 years, including a number linked to the “bag-style” sling. UK Sling retailers and manufacturers are taking steps to ensure that parents have the information they need to continue to use safe designs of baby carriers and position their babies in the safest...
