Marleena looks forward to the summer…
The summer is coming on and parents should be thinking about all the activities there are to do with their baby. I think that just going outdoors and enjoying the day is one of the best things – and it’s free! You can take the pushchair with some entertainment for the baby like the Heimess pram chains and go visit the park. MAM also makes these cooling teethers which would be great on a hot summer day and Brio has a My Very First Walrus teether and rattle and it looks so cute and I bet your baby would love it! Jelly Kitten soft toys, like the Skidaddle Giraffe, are also the most adorable and they come in all sorts of colours.
Preparing for the great outdoors!
So now you’re pretty much ready for a nice walk around your neighborhood or going to the park. One thing to remember is to take something to drink and eat with you. The Polar Gear Food and Drink Bags keep the contents cool and fresh. You can find similar thermo bags from MAM and Sunshine Kids. It’s also very important to protect your child from the elements. From Koo-di there are different shades for different weather conditions for example the Stroller Sun & Sleep Shade and Pushchair Raincover. If you don’t want to go out with a stroller you can take a baby carrier. We sell a wide range from Hippychick, BabyDan, Wallaboo, Infantino and Wilkinet.
As Malcolm McLaren said, you can never be too cool. Baby Banz has very cool looking shades (and hats!) with lots of different colour options. One of the best selling sunglasses are the Baby Banz Retro (comes in black and white) which has a strap for a comfortable but secure fit and of course gives excellent UV protection.
At the Beach
Little kiddies love the beach. Swimming is a great sport and of course playing in the water is so much fun. There is lots of swimwear available for babies and toddlers. Bambino Mio has fresh and fun looking swimsuits and swim nappies that are reusable. For more options, Konfidence has swimsuits which keep the baby warm and also these great floatsuits and -jackets. They give a good feel of safety and comfort.
Children’s skin is very sensitive and hats and sunglasses are therefore very important to remember. Konfidence’s Legionnaires Hats provides UV protection for the head and neck, whilst the larger than average peak gives increased shading of the face and eyes.
Again it’s very important to take some food and drink with you as the hard work of playing makes your child lose energy and dehydration is very dangerous. The Polar Gear’s Little One’s Lunch Bag can fit in sipper cups, food pots, spoons, bibs and bottles. And MAM has these great food bowls with lids so you can take it with you on the go and Brother Max has food portioners that are handy for keeping puree food with you.
Koo-di Pop-Up Travel Cot comes in handy when your baby becomes sleepy after playing around. It is a lightweight and compact folding travel cot and it’s designed to use on holiday and for staying away overnight. This cot offers a clean, safe and comfortable place for your baby to sleep wherever you are.
For your trips for picnic and walks there are lots of things to remember so you may need a handy changing bag. We stock a great range from Wallaboo, Koo-di, Caboodle, Summer Infant & Wallaboo bags. The Wallaboo range has the most delicious colours (lime, red, chocolate, soft blue…) and they look absolutely beautiful. Koo-di and First Years have more compact boxes and bags if you don’t have enough storage space available.
