Once in a while we see a product that we think, ‘gosh, why didn’t we think of that’, and guess what, this is one of those products. Every parent has had the nightmare of getting wet (and worse) fingers while trying to empty the potty during that ll to terrible training time. Well no more.

The Pourty potty has a large and wide seating area which is comfortable to sit on for boys and girls. With some potties the narrow seating area can be uncomfortable and leave a red ring around your child’s bottom when they stand up.

The two sides of the back rest of the Pourty potty offer ample support to your child if they do lean back and are shaped for maximum comfort. The Pourty potty’s splash guard is higher than on a lot of potties to help prevent any unwanted spillage, especially when boys are using the potty.

The Pourty potty is made out of a sturdier plastic than most normal potties. This helps give the child confidence when sitting on the potty and also means that there is less risk that the potty will stick to their bottom when they stand up (which can have unfortunate and messy consequences).

And at only £9.99 it is what you would call a bargain!

What do you do when you are out shopping, pushing the pram and never seem to have enough hands? Well one solution could be using a set of Mighty Buggy Hooks.

Convenient and practical, the Mighty Buggy Hook fits on any buggy or pram. It is an ideal place to hook your nappy bag or shopping. The sturdy aluminum hook is lightweight and does not bend or break and the deep U-shape allows several bags to hang at a time.

Okay, so it’s not strictly for babies but here’s one for the mothers out there. Mama Mio was founded by three beauty experts. Between them they have 40 years experience in the beauty industry and, more importantly, 62 years experience as mothers!

With seven children, they know motherhood takes a big toll on your skin. Whether your baby is in your tummy or in college, they have created Mama Mio skincare to help you feel good in your skin.

One of the perks of working in the beauty industry together over the last 15 years is that the girls have access to the very best biochemists, aromatherapists and skincare experts in the business. So when Sian first fell pregnant with Charlie, they did some serious research into how to keep our tummies free from stretch marks. They concluded that the answer to protecting overstretched skin is in the topical application of Omega 3, 6 and 9.

This became the basis of thei Tummy Rub Oil. It smelt glorious, felt amazing and they all rub, rub, rubbed it in throughout their seven pregnancies. All of the other Mama Mio skincare products followed as they encountered each stage in pregnancy and, even more importantly, needed great products to help get womens bodies back afterwards! Three years ago, with the encouragement of all their supermama friends and fans helped them to finally launch Mama Mio – the one and only skincare range totally focused on supermamas.

Want a great way to keep your baby wipes fresh and clean – well here’s a solution from that funky company Skip Hop. The new Swipe baby wipes case, with its strap that ‘snaps’ onto any stroller or bag, is the perfect out and about answer to keeping babies and toddlers clean and fresh!

Once you have your Swipe in place it will always be on hand ready for the next clean up, so there’ll be no more frantic searching in the bottom of the baby bag.  The soft ‘quick draw’ opening button on the Swipe slides easily to one side and is specifically designed to be simple to open with just one hand – very useful when you’re holding a dirty toddler still to limit the damage, or loaded down with baby baggage!

The wipes are dispensed from the case neatly and one at a time, avoiding the annoyance of  a whole bunch coming out in one go.  And no longer will there be the irritation of a packet not closing tightly and the wipes ending up all dried up – the Swipe case has a secure snap lid which clicks firmly back in place every time, keeping wipes moist and ready for any mess.  The translucent case means it’s easy to see when the wipes are running low, and it can simply be opened up and refilled with your favorite wipes.

At just £8, the Skip-Hop Swipe will give parents long lasting value – its sleek and smart style means that as the children get older (but still in need of an occasional wipe), they’ll be more than happy to pop it into their back packs, or alternatively it will fit neatly into Mum’s handbag.  The easy to clean case is free of BPA, Phthalate and PVC and measures just under 9” long, 5” wide and under 2” in thickness.

Hey relax, we’re all the same when it comes to your little one’s safety. You may be the most vigilant parent in the world, but for many, holidays with toddlers and young children often creates a level of anxiety about their safety that can take much of the enjoyment out of being away. But now those worries can be helped by the new Mummy Stay Close child distance monitor.

The Mummy Stay Close is a small, lightweight and easy to use device to give added piece of mind to a parent or guardian while out and about. Simply attach the character watch to your child’s wrist and when your child moves outside of your designated safe area, the parent unit will emit an audible alarm. When the child returns within the safe distance the warning alarm on the parent unit will stop automatically.

The child unit incorporates an SOS alert feature which when pressed by the child will set off a constant audible alarm on the parent unit allowing the child to hear where the parent is.

A potty’s a potty right? Wrong, the Babybjorn Potty Chair  is a stylish piece of equipment that will help little ones go from nappies to using the toilet giving them all the support they need in the process.

When your baby starts to crawl you are going to very quickly want to find something to protect their little knees. Thankfully some clever people out there have created these cotton kneepads with silicone padding for crawlers and toddler called Silipads.

For crawlers to toddlers, these stylish baby kneepads, made from cotton with silicone pad for protection, are designed to keep your little one’s knees feeling and looking good. Designed for comfort and ease, they slide right over baby’s knees to protect and keep them scrape-free from hard and irritable surfaces as they crawl and explore their surroundings. They are machine washable and one size fits most!

What is it we hear you cry? Being a parent is the most wonderful thing in the world but sometimes there are jobs that need doing which, well you wish you didn’t have to do! When a little one gets a cold a blocked up nose is a big deal and anything you can do to help clear the airways is a big thing. That’s where the Nosefrida comes into play.

Children between birth and 3 years cannot blow their noses. This often causes misery for both the baby and the parents. The easiest way to use the NoseFrida is to have your baby in a comfortable position where your hands are free – this could either be on their changing mat, on baby’s back on a table, or with your partner or a friend holding the baby.  

You then place the red mouthpiece in your own mouth, with the large tube being put at the front of the baby’s nostril.  Apply a little gentle suction and increase this until you see mucus appearing in the large tube.  None of the mucous will be sucked into your own mouth as the blue filter will prevent this.  If the mucous is not runny, then initially apply a little water or saline solution and after a few moments apply the suction.

The Nosefrida gets your baby breathing, sleeping and eating again. It has been developed by ENT specialists in Sweden, and is safe, effective and hygienic.
