M&P magic astro bouncer review
I’ll be honest. When I first got the Astro Cradle. I was not enthused. I really thought it was all a little too much, and I was sure my little one would not give a hoot about a cradle I could attach an iPod too, or one that vibrates, or one which has flashing lights, or different tunes…. or one that did all of that and more. But I was wrong. She loves it. Like proper loves it. In fact, she finds it hilarious. She sits in...
Fisher Price Lion Booster Seat Review
The Fisher Price lion booster seat has been seriously road tested in my house by my 2 year old, who takes meal times very seriously. Like all children’s equipment the seat came with a full instruction manual, in at least 12 languages. But frankly I managed to ‘assemble’ the lion head back to the seat base and then add the tray without the need to refer to the manual (pat on the back for me!), and the straps were...
Cosatto 3sixti Highchair – What WE Say…
The Cosatto 3sixti looks great. The seat is large with two recline positions, a padded cover, and an easily removable two-part tray (the top part can go in the dishwasher). The seat cover is easily removable, which is of course important since you need to clean underneath it. The chair’s easy to clean too, because it’s all moulded and rounded, so there aren’t so many nooks and crannies for all the junk to get wedged...
Pushchair – The Micralite Toro Review
As always, we’re pretty excited for the Micralite Toro Review – who doesn’t love a new pushchair to put through its paces? ‘Toro’ means ‘bull’, a label which doesn’t accurately describe this buggy. Which is a good thing, because after all, who wants their little cherub catching a lift off a runaway bovine? So let’s start from the only aesthetically bully feature, the push-bars. Adjustable to suit your grip,...
Bobux Soft Leather Childrens Slippers review
I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the children’s feet than restrictive slippers. Then I did start to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones. Then the lovely Caroline at Ollipops (probably rolling her...
New Review – ‘The Day That…’
Holding onto time, tightly, and attempting to slow its relentless progress is a quiet occupation of us parents. Taking photos, video clips, carefully packing away baby clothes and glorious first works of art are all part of it. Is there something we’ve forgotten to preserve? Is there another way we haven’t yet thought of to help us sustain and protect our memories? Well, ‘The Day That…’ and their wonderfully unique idea give us...
