Mamas & Papas Tour buggy review
When Piran reached six months old I was pleased to be able to use a lighter, umbrella folding style buggy for popping to the shops. The Mamas and Papas Tour is designed as lightweight solution for holidays and days out. It is easy to open and close and has a clip to keep it together. It has a carry handle and a shoulder strap which makes it easy to carry. Folded it is quite small and fitted easily into my boot with lots of room (and I...

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.

Adjustable to suit your grip,...
Spotted! Giant Strides

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? I’ve been avoiding writing the Dazzle review, simply because I kept waiting to fall in love with it. 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...
