When I think back to my favourite things as a kid, riding a bike was definitely up there. As a pre-teen, a bike can make you feel on top of the world – the thrill, the speed, the ability to go anywhere and do anything. If I remember rightly, I had an orange Raleigh Chopper – although […]

Review: Diono Radian 5 Extended Rear Facing Car Seat (Group 0, 0+, 1, 2)
When it comes to buying stuff for your baby, one of the most important purchases is the car seat. Not only is it a big lump of cash to pay out, but it’s the thing that protects your little one when driving. BUT, they can be confusing. As an expectant dad, I remember not knowing where […]

Review & Giveaway: Win A Hippychick Kids’ Fleece Lined Waterproof Suit
With Winter upon us, making sure that your little ones are protected from the wind, rain and cold temperature becomes pretty important – well, unless you want them to resemble a windswept, defrosting fish finger. I’ve therefore teamed up with Hippychick, the multi-award winning designer, sourcer and distributor of baby wear and accessories, to offer you […]
Review: Peugeot 308 GT Line 1.2L Puretech Hatchback Family Car
I’ve always viewed cars as a functional thing. My mum and dad love cars, but for me, I’m just not that fussed if I’m honest. I can appreciate a nice looking car and wouldn’t mind owning one, but I’m by no means a car enthusiast and have no clue how to go about maintaining one (although […]
Review: Stokke Scoot V2 Pushchair
If there’s one thing I love, it’s pushchairs. I never realised I had a stroller fetish until I became a dad, however since Baby L popped into the world, I’ve been known to get visibly excited at spotting a nice looking pushchair. Too much information? I’ve been massively lucky to get the chance to test […]
Review: SnoozeShade Plus Deluxe Sun And Sleep Shade
Everyone knows that it is important to get babies into a routine…or at least that’s what everyone tells newbie parents. What we’re not told though is that the reality of following a routine is pretty bloody difficult when you have a life to live. A baby obviously changes a lot of things, but it is not always […]
Review: Mamas & Papas Armadillo Flip XT Pushchair
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Since becoming a dad, nothing gets me going as much as a pushchair – well, that and the missus of course. A nice shape, beautiful curves, very flexible and supports the baby. And that’s just the missus! I jest of course. Since giving birth, the missus is no where […]
Review: BabyZen YOYO 6+ Buggy
Since becoming a dad, I’m happy to admit that I’ve developed a bit of a fetish for travel systems, pushchairs, strollers, buggies, prams or whatever else you want to call them. We’ve had a travel system ever since Baby L was born which has been great, but it isn’t really designed to be compact and […]
Review: BabyBjorn Baby Carrier We And Teething Pads
One of the things that I’ve discovered I enjoy the most since having a sprog is babywearing. To clarify, that is the practice of holding a baby in a sling or carrier as opposed to anything else that the word suggests – such as dressing up as a baby, which I only do on very special occasions. I always […]
