Chicco London Best Baby Pushchair

| June 15, 2012

Chicco London Pushchair

The Chicco London Pushchair has flown across the world with us from London to Auckland in New Zealand. It is truly brilliant! You won’t go wrong with this pushchair if you want a lightweight yet sturdy pushchair for travelling and everyday use.

One thing we needed for our first overseas holiday with baby was a travel friendly pushchair. This was going to be our first flight with our baby to Brittany in France.

My husband and I searched shops and online retailers for the best baby pushchair, wanting a pushchair that was lightweight, had all the essentials and a compact umbrella fold for travelling on aeroplanes.

After plenty of research we decided on the Chicco London Pushchair.

Even the budget airline we flew with allowed us to fold the pushchair with the footmuff still attached, saving us additional space in our already bulging suitcase!

The Chicco London Pushchair comes complete with a beautifully soft, fleece lined footmuff which zips easily to the seat cover and a fully protective raincover. The seat has four positions that you can change easily using one hand and fully reclines so your baby or toddler can lie almost flat for sleeping.

Travelling with the Chicco London Pushchair in France

There’s a shopping basket under the pushchair seat which holds a generous amount of items. Our Babymel Changing Bag fitted comfortably under the seat with nappies, changing mat, bottles and food.

The Chicco London Pushchair went on the beach, gravel tracks in the countryside and throughout towns. It was great in all locations.

The Chicco London Pushchair is a fantastic pushchair and we have been surprised at how versatile, robust and easy it is to use. The Chicco London Pushchair is suitable from birth to 3 years and weighs just 7.2 kgs.

Spring Sunshine in Brittany

| May 31, 2012

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week’s holiday in Brittany, France. Our time was spent indulging in sun, sea, fresh air, country walks and the simple things in life.

We visited Les Rosaires, a beautiful beach on the North Coast which felt like an undiscovered piece of paradise.

Lac de Guerlédan in Central Brittany is a large man-made lake with several sandy beaches surrounded by forests and many marked paths for walking, cycling and horse riding.

Our daughter loved the gentle waves of the sea and fresh lake water on her toes.

The Nantes-Brest Canal was picturesque in the morning sunlight as we strolled along with our baby asleep in her pushchair.

Baguettes, cheese and tomatoes from the local market were devoured in the garden to a background chorus of birds singing. Sharing such simple pleasures with our baby made our first overseas holiday one that we will always treasure. We were truly a world away from central London.

VTech Tiny Touch Phone

| May 25, 2012

The VTech Tiny Touch Phone is a wonderful toy for anyone whose baby is constantly after a mobile phone to play with!

It’s shaped just like a mobile phone and has large numbered buttons and a telephone call button. There’s a screen which has changing pictures, just like caller ID.

It’s a great early learning toy for babies that’s fun, stimulating and educational.

The VTech Tiny Touch Phone has a light-up screen that rotates to reveal 3 different modes of play. Your baby will learn numbers, colours and shapes by pressing the 10 number buttons and 2 shape buttons on the keypad.

The VTech Tiny Touch Phone talks to your baby and encourages them to select different numbers, colours and shapes with its very own finding game to put the learning into practice.

The VTech Tiny Touch Phone develops hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills.

I can’t recommend this phone enough, my baby is entertained for hours with the VTech Tiny Touch Phone. I love it when my baby holds it to her ear and then passes it to me to talk to the caller. And now my baby can say words she tells me who is on the phone.
