I found an impressive selection of travel cots at Bambino Direct. Some of these are suitable for baby from birth to approximately 3 years of age. Going on holiday with your baby is great fun and a portable travel cot makes it easy.

Bambino Direct is one of the largest independent nursery stockists in the United Kingdom.

My Shopping Experience at Zalando.co.uk

| October 8, 2013

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Zalando and kindly asked if I would like to experience shopping at Zalando.co.uk. To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t heard of Zalando before and I quickly jumped online to have a look. The first thing that stood out to me was the incredible range of products available for the whole family. Everything from shoes to children’s clothing to women’s fashion to men’s sportswear and homeware.

It was a pleasure to browse the vast selection of Fashion and Accessories from brands around the world, with some amazing designers from Europe.

In the Children’s Wear section I discovered a beautiful linen dress from the Danish clothing brand Noa Noa that I chose for Imogen. It is slightly too large for her to wear now but it will fit perfectly next summer. I can just imagine this pretty dress being worn on a summer’s day or for a special occasion.

I love this colourful and fun hat rack by Present Time in Homeware. It is designed in Holland and would look great in a nursery or child’s bedroom. The brightly coloured balls are the perfect size for hanging children’s coats, hats and items of clothing on.

We placed it on Imogen’s bedroom wall and find it is wonderful for holding her coats, hats, scarves, bags and blankets. It conveniently keeps Imogen’s outdoor accessories handy and organised for when we’re rushing out of the door to get to the park!

Having previously bought items of clothing for Imogen from the Danish brand, Name It, I decided to select a couple of long sleeved tops and leggings from Zalando. These are comfortable for everyday play and wash really well.

From Zalando Home I selected a set of beautiful hand blown glass hurricane lamps from Germany. Both purple, one is almost transparent and the other is a darker shade. They look stunning when the sun shines through and with a lit candle they provide a glow of ambient light.

My shopping experience at Zalando.co.uk was fun, easy and it opened my eyes to an online store that conveniently sells everything you need for both your family and your home. I’ve bookmarked Zalando and will be shopping online again very soon.

Grobag Baby Sleep Bag Review

| April 4, 2013

Last week we were sent a Grobag baby sleep bag to review by The Gro Company. Baby sleep bags have been made by The Gro Company since 2000 and today an astounding 95% of parents in the UK choose to use baby and toddler sleep bags for their little ones.

We received an all year round 2.5 tog sleep bag for toddlers aged 18 – 36 months old. With a 2.5 tog sleep bag it’s recommended that your baby’s nursery is between 16 to 20 degrees Celcius. The free nursery thermometer that comes with every Grobag has been helpful for keeping an eye on the temperature in Imogen’s nursery.

Grobag Review

Imogen is tall for her age so I was really impressed with the length of the sleep bag we received. It’s suitable for a child up to a maximum length of 98 cm. There is also a good width on the sleep bag which allows Imogen to move freely in the sleep bag during her sleep and when she’s awake in her cot bed.

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Imogen’s Grobag fastens at the front with a zip that has a thick cotton zip guard to ensure it never rubs on her skin. There’s a popper at the bottom of the Grobag to safely ‘lock’ the zip so a curious toddler can’t open their Grobag.

The design of Imogen’s Grobag is Treetop Tales. It’s a crisp white on the back of the sleep bag with colourful circles and friendly characters on the front including a giraffe, owl, snail and chick. It’s bright and cheerful with rich colours that will suit all nurseries.

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Some of the unique features I love about the Grobag baby sleep bag:

  • Imogen stays cosy and warm throughout the night so there’s no worrying about whether she’s too hot or cold
  • There are no covers or blankets to kick off which gives us peace of mind during the night
  • The Grobag opens easily for any night time nappy changes
  • 100% cotton fabric is used for the outer and lining of the Grobag
  • The Grobag allows Imogen to move freely during her sleep and when she’s awake and playing in her cot bed

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Grobag baby sleep bags have won many awards over the years and the Mother and Baby Awards 2011/12 Gold Award for Best Nursery Product.

Grobag sleep bags come in a range of sizes from 0 – 6 months up to 6 – 10 years. There’s also a range of three tog ratings so you can ensure your child is in the right Grobag for the particular season and temperature of the room.

You can find out more about Grobag baby sleep bags online at The Gro Store.
