Pushchair – The Micralite Toro Review

  As always, we’re pretty excited for the Micralite Toro Review – who doesn’t love a new pushchair to put through its paces? ‘Toro’ means ‘bull’, a label which doesn’t accurately describe this buggy. Which is a good thing, because after all, who wants their little cherub catching a lift off a runaway bovine? So let’s start from the only aesthetically bully feature, the push-bars. Adjustable to suit your grip,...

Spotted! Giant Strides

Needed to get a new pair of good wellies for Big Son – searched the net – couldn’t find what I wanted at the right price ’til I found Giant Strides! Big Son now has a shiny new pair of decent wellies WITH soft, warm wellie socks and I have a new place to go when I’m looking for Crocs at a decent price for the Summer. Oh, mustn’t also forget to mention that Giant Strides are also a very decent...

Secret review – We no like the… Silver Cross Dazzle Pushchair.

Okay, as we always do, when we get a product we don’t like, we go back to the PR company and give them the choice – pull it? Or publish anyway?

In the end, I wrote what I thought, and pushed it off to the lovely Silver Cross PR’s, expecting them to snatch it and run to the hills with it. But no. D’you know...

Silver Cross Explorer Sport Car Seat Review

The Explorer Sport is a stylish looking car seat which was an important step up for my daughter – she had outgrown her Group 1 seat, and we needed something bigger (she was very happy to have one that looked more like her big brothers!) It had been slightly tricky to find a good car seat for her as she is small for her age (Note from Laura – car seat groups should always be measured by weight NOT age, so be patient like Nina and don’t...

Samsonite Blossom Slouch Changing Bag Review

Ok. I hate to keep banging on about it, but it’s six years since my last baby… six years ago the only changing bags around were either a black shoulder bag or rucksack, or a shoulder bag in various hideous baby prints such as teddies or jungle animals. I’m sure some women are happy to tote these around on themselves but I’m not one of them. Then along came baby number 3 and wow, in the intervening six years a changing bag...

Silver Cross Buggy Organiser review

This is a new offering from Silver Cross, and is the step past the big ole changing bag. There comes a point when you have a running around toddler who is almost out of nappies and your baby-bag needs change. No longer do you need a bag that comes with 6,432 pockets and a kitchen sink as standard. But you do often need more a little more than a grown up’s handbag (remember them? I have fond hazy memories of half-empty bags and...
