Snug as a bug

Advantages: Keeps baby warm
Disadvantages: None fo us

...-18 months sizes. HOW TO USE IT... The main rule of thumb seems to be that the sleeping bags are warm and not many clothes are needed. The instructions make it clear that it's ok for baby's hands to be cold, and if in doubt, carers should feel baby's neck- damp and baby could be too hot. It?s important not to use the sleeping bag if baby can get his/her head through the neck when it?s fastened because this would defeat the object Once the room temperature has been established and baby's clothes adapted appropriately then it's time to get baby into the sleeping bag. Simply unzip, put baby inside, fasten the poppers and zip and baby should be snug as the proverbial bug without any need for additional blankets. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY... RRP is £21.95, and they are widely available from baby stores and online OTHER DESIGNS...

Review of Zorbit Snugz Baby Sleeping Bag

Snug as a bug in a rug

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I've always been pretty wary of the idea of Electric Blankets - I seem to remember as a child hearing about fires caused by them, and I think that stayed in my mind. However, when my parents purchased one last year, they went on and on about how good it was, and a couple of months ago, my dad decided to buy me one as I was suffering from a particularly nasty bout of flu that had me feeling permanantly freezing. I was pretty excited to try it - it came packaged in a plastic zip up bag, neatly folded inside a purple card insert that extolled the various virtues of the product, and came with instructions . The kind my dad purchased was an underblanket - designed to go under your sheet and provide the warmth from beneath. Unfolding it, I was surprised to see that it was actually significantly smaller than my double mattress,( I soon...

Review of Dreamland Electric Blanket

Snug as a bug in an electric rug...

Advantages: No more cold feet, arms, legs, back...
Disadvantages: You'll want to stay in bed all day!

...Mattress Cover - Double Size". It was on special offer and cost me £39.99. Storage and installing: It comes in a handy zip-up plastic cover/bag which can be retained for easy storage (under the bed for example) during the hopefully warmer summer months. The instruction booklet is concisely and clearly written providing simple information on how to safely fit the blanket on to your bed. This blanket comes with an elasticated skirt on it which fits perfectly over the edge of your mattress to ensure a comfortable, snug fit which so far has not come loose during use. The instructions make it clear that it is important to ensure correct placement of the blanket on the bed for safety reasons, so that the connection to the mains is on the top right-hand corner of the bed as you are lying in it. Once this is done, it's easy to connect...

Review of Dreamland Electric Blanket

Snug as a Bug

Advantages: Warm, designed specifically with children in mind, extendable
Disadvantages: The toggles get in the way!

...compact or water resistant or machine washable. The same rules apply for choosing children?s sleeping bags as they would to adults, probably even more so as kids tend to feel the cold easily. Then you can consider the different styles of bag. The basic bag is a rectangular shape; it has a wide opening at the top and usually a zip on 2 sides. Sometimes you can buy one bag with a left hand zip and one with a right hand zip so that they can join together and make one larger bag. These types of sleeping bag might be good for youth hostels, summer camping use or caravanning. Another type of bag is the tapered sleeping bag. This has a narrower bottom than top and is generally considered slightly warmer than a rectangle because your legs and feet fit more snugly. It might have one or two extra features like a baffle to stop draughts getting...

Review of Ajungilak Little Viking Kids Sleeping Bag

Snug as a bug in the bath

Advantages: Keep your child safe
Disadvantages: none

...When my youngest child had outgrown the sink, I needed to find some way of bathing her safely in the bath. This is where the car boot sale came in handy again as I went in search of a bath seat at a reasonable price. Luckily the first one I came across, the Fisher Price Stay N Play bath seat, looked exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. I paid £3.50 for it and it has definately paid for itself. It is a white plastic circular seat with a plastic ring about waist height and also a plasic bit that goes betwwen the legs so that they can`t shuffle about and try to stand up. There are also lots of little suction pads on the bottom to secure it to the bath. The base of the seat is blue and is made of tough rubber so it is fairly soft on the child`s bottom, and also it stops them from sliding around. Once the child is inside, it is...

SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: none

...I wonder how many of you go to bed at night with freezing cold feet, which take ages to warm up. In the past I had always used my husband s body to put my cold feet on, despite to his objections. Lol. Believe me it has caused many a row. Well, at Christmas I had the most unusual present from him, which was very unexpected, and I am sure it was bought for him in mind. Yes you guessed it a lovely electric blanket. Until then I had not seen an electric blanket for years, as I used to own one year’s ago. The first thing I noticed was how they have changed, as my old one did not fit the across the whole bed and was made from felt like material and was ribbed. It would crease up and not stay in place. I can tell you that it is called (winter warm) and my husband purchased it from Argos at £39.99. It is a double sized under...

Review of Argos Electrical Blankets

Snug as a bug in a rug!

Advantages: keeps babys head warm
Disadvantages: they don't do them big enough for me!

...~~~~~~ You need to have a good grip of the baby when toy get them out of the bath, as it can be a bit hard to get them into the towel, as they are very slippy, and you need a hand for the towel. If you feel unsure about this, then it might be an idea, to have the towel on the changing mate on the floor, before you put the baby in the bath. Then you can get them out and wrap them in the towel on the floor. ~~~~~ Styles ~~~~~ You can get these in different styles and designs, ranging from plain ones, to animals, characters, and their favarite super heros. You can also, from certain places, get then personalised. This is usually done using embroidery, as this is washable. There are different types of towel, depending on your childs age. You can get the normal hooded one, as i described above, or you can get a poncho style. This slips...

Review of Hooded Baby Towels

Snug As A Bug In A Rug

Advantages: Full protection for your body.Outstanding value for money
Disadvantages: Only suitable really for warm water diving

...wetsuit. In the end I reluctantly tried the Mares Tropic (as it was only 3mm) and it went on so much easier than all the others I had tried and it fitted really well. This is a 3mm blind stitched wetsuit. It's very stylish and doesn't take up too much room in your suitcase. Features The glued and blindstitched seam construction, which ensures that less water gets through the seams which helps keep you warm. Rear Zip Tatex panels on the chest and back for quicker drying. O ring seals on wrists and ankles ensuring less water movement and thereby increasing warmth. I have had this wetsuit for a year now and had about 10 dives in it and it still looks like new. It's really comfortable to wear and if you want extra warmth you could pop a rash vest on underneath which I did the first time but found I was warm enough without the vest....

Review of Mares Tropic 3MM Wetsuit

Snug as a bug in a wrap-ug

Advantages: You get to cuddle all the time - hands free
Disadvantages: It's a bit addictive.

...As someone who likes to get on, pottering around at home, I've found my Ellaroo wrap completely indispensable. If my baby is feeling tired but won't settle to sleep, I wrap him onto my front and he nods off in minutes. While he's having a rest, I can get on with little bits and bobs, all the while knowing he's happy, comfortable and resting well. It's also amazing at helping him get through a grinkly patch when it's all whines and little cries. The closeness of the wearer brings on a calmness to baby and soothes him in no time. This all leads to happiness all round, baby's happy, parents are happy, happy families! My partner and myself find the front carry very easy and extremely comfortable to wear and even though my baby is only 6 weeks old, he seems to love being carried like this. Because of the weave, the wrap feels very...

Review of EllaRoo Wraparound Baby Carrier

Snug Protection in a Weatherproof Jacket.

Advantages: Practical, warm and weatherproof
