    Little Tikes 4-in-1 Trike Sports Edition

    Little Sis was recently sent two brand new toys from Little Tikes to review and tell you about.

Little Tikes’ new 4-in-1 Trike Sports Edition are designed to grow as a child’s skills develop. With detachable handle, seat belt, durable tyres, packing bag, soft seating and drinks holder – it’s great for babies and beginner riders! Moving toys are brilliant for helping children…

    Britax DUALFIX car seat

    Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been busy testing the latest car seat from Britax, the dual-position seat called DUALFIX, due to my role as a Britax Mumbassador. Little Sis has been very comfortable in her new car seat, the colour compliments her fab Britax Affinity perfectly. This is a very padded seat so it’s perhaps no surprise Little Sis is more than happy to go out in the car! The carseat is suitable from birth and grows with your child. It offers  rearward or forward facing and rotates to make it easier getting little ones in and out of…

    Oxo Tot twist top water bottle review and giveaway

    We’ve recently been sent a couple of products from Oxo Tot to try. We love their products as they tick all our boxes: easy to use, simple to keep clean, fun colours and BPA free. The latest product we’ve been trying is the Oxo Tot twist top water bottle. Both my children were attracted to this bottle and it’s easy to see why. It has a clever non-slip lid which when twisted reveals a soft straw that is comfortable to drink from. The non-slip carrying loop is comfortable and easy to hold too. The lid twists closed which helps keep…

    Sweet dreams

    Both my children have had eczema. Fortunately they’ve grown out of as they’ve got older, except for poor Little Sis who has small patches of it behind her knees. I was recommended Soothing Baby Balm by Green People which really helped the itching and dry skin. So when they got in touch about reviewing their certified organic toiletries range for children I was very happy to try other products. Green People review We were sent Baby Wash & Shampoo as well as a new Shampoo, both were tried out by the children at bath time. The toddler chose the Berry…

    A smooth ride with Britax Affinity

    Over the last week I’ve been testing the Britax Affinity with Little Sis as part of my role as a Britax Mumbassador. I have to say I didn’t think Little Sis would ever be on the receiving end of a new pushchair. There is lots of choice with the Britax Affinity and we have the black chassis with the Cool Berry fabric set which I love. It’s nice to stand out from the crowd and we’ve certainly been doing that! It took minutes to put together and we’ve been enjoying using it. It is equally easy to handle on the…
