We Have A Water Baby

| June 23, 2012

We went swimming for the first time today with Imogen… and she absolutely loved it!

I know a lot of parents who take their babies swimming from a very early age.

This is something I looked into, especially with the very popular Water Babies Classes.

I almost signed up for the classes, but with a young baby you just never know what’s going to be going on or how they’re going to be feeling on the day. Signing up to a term of 10 weeks with a set day and a set time each week to go swimming seemed a little too regimented for us.

So having decided to leave the big swimming pool experience until Imogen was older, we now know it was the best decision we made for our baby.

Imogen’s always loved bath time and has had plenty of time to get used to water, splashing about and having her hair wet.

She had such a happy and confident time kicking around and splashing in the pool with Mummy and Daddy.

It was no surprise that after 30 minutes she began to yawn and we decided it was time to call it a day!

There are plenty of pools in London for babies and children, many of these pools are heated. You can find out more about swimming pools for babies and children at Kids Fun London.

Chicco London Best Baby Pushchair

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.
