This week we present you a revolution in baby transportation : the Baby WheelEasy ! What is that? The only solution to having to carry a heavy car seat with your baby. Now you can move your baby without removing him from the car seat and it’s totally sure and comfy for you and your little one!

How does it work?

1) Locate your baby seat onto the Baby WheelEasy.

2) Clip-in the safety straps.

3) Extend the handle and you’re off!

Buying the Baby WheelEasy is such a gorgeous idea because …

-          The new innovative patent gives you an alternative to the fatigue stresses associated with carrying a child in a rear facing car seat from birth to a year+ in age.

-           In literally seconds the Baby WheelEasy can  be attached to any leading brand rear car seats due to its universal design key features, transforming the seat into a stylish stroller.

-          It creates a practical, safe & comfortable environment for your baby. The vibrations are absorbed by the Baby WheelEasy’s ‘rubber over moulded wheels’ – keeping your baby relaxed and at ease while in transit.

-          The Baby WheelEasy is the alternative to being swung, jarred & bumped all at the same time as being carried by hand – which also increases the possibility of dropping the seat in the instance of a stumble or a fall.

-          The Baby WheelEasy is the safe alternative being fully and rigorously tested to comply with British Standards BS – 7409 :1996 and International Safety Standard BS EN – 1888:2003 (the requirement for any wheeled pram or push chair).

-          The Baby WheelEasy has been independently tested, overcoming a demanding 64 hour rolling road test along with stability, durability & stress testing.

-           Any parent or guardian can have total confidence in the Baby WheelEasy stroller. It has passed all relevant International, European and British Standards safety tests.

Last week you learnt how to choose maternity underwear… Now it’s time to learn how to enjoy your pregnancy by wearing smart and stylish maternity clothes and feel wonderful days after days thanks to some inevitable items.

Jeans

Top of the list is a comfortable pair of maternity jeans. You’ll live in these on weekends and evenings. With elastic/expandable belly panels or today’s trendy low-rise maternity waistbands with stretch, one pair of jeans should do for the entire pregnancy. You should also consider several tops or T-shirts as part of the basic weekend and evening collection.

Work wardrobe

Those of you who work outside the home will want to consider purchasing a number of maternity career basics that you can mix and match.

Consider a maternity skirt and a pair of maternity dress slacks in basic black, along with a couple of blazers or dressy cardigans. These career basics, combined with some dressy blouses and maternity tops, will take you to business meetings in fine form. Just don’t forget to pick pieces that “layer” so you can cool down easily during those “maternity hot flashes.” And comfortable shoes are a must.

Some things to remember when shopping for maternity clothing:

• Keep your lifestyle in mind. The key to pregnancy fashion – and fashion in general – is to be at ease with your style. The biggest ingredient to looking great is – you guessed it – confidence.
• Treat yourself to something nice. Remember to look good when you’re expecting, no matter what phase of pregnancy you’re in. It’s the first step toward feeling good.

Sizing things up properly
For many women shopping for maternity wear, figuring out the proper size can be confusing.

The simple truth is that maternity clothing is not sized much differently than pre-pregnancy clothing. There’s no trick, really. Just know your pre-pregnancy size when placing your maternity clothing order.

Your pre-pregnancy size
Petite = 2-4*
Small = 4-6
Medium = 8-10
Large = 12-14
X-Large = 14-16

* Petite sizes are roughly 1 1/2 inches shorter, on average, than a regular “Small” size.

Whatever category you fit into, pre-pregnancy, determines the size of maternity clothes you’ll need to order. If you’re normally size 10, or medium, order the corresponding maternity clothes in the same size. And remember, when in doubt, order one size up. It’s that simple.

Conclusion…

Dress in the same daring styles you would normally. Experiment with the exciting new maternity fashions available to today’s pregnant woman. Don’t be afraid to show off your new shape. And most importantly, consider comfort in your clothing. If you follow these rules you’re guaranteed to spend your pregnancy months living with style and ease!

Now you can find Silver Cross’s items in our online shop! They have provided through their experience the very best in safety nursery products since 1877; a proof that they care passionately about you and your children; like us!

With all these brand new products, we thought that it could be useful to remind you how to choose furniture for your baby’s nursery.

Safety first!

First, make sure that your nursery is baby-proofed, as it takes a few months before little fingers begin exploring…

• Use a new crib or cot that has been safety approved.

• Position cot away from windows.

• Use child safety covers for electric outlets.

• Use only safety nightlight styles that children cannot pull out. Keep them at least three feet from bedding and other flammable materials.

• Install baby monitors and other cords a safe distance from the crib.

• Don’t hang pictures or shelves directly over a cot.

• Use a safety strap to anchor tall pieces of furniture so they don’t tip over when your child starts climbing.

Once you have taken stock of all of the above precautions, it’s time to start thinking about what you need to buy and what atmosphere you want to create for your new baby!

Moses basket, cot and cot bed

The first factor you need to consider is where your newborn will be sleeping.

First, purchase a moses basket to keep your little one comfortable and close at hand. It is usually kept next to mum’s bedside for convenient night time feeds and close bonding. Furthermore, babies sleep well in moses baskets or cribs initially as they provide a small sleeping environment which helps them feel secure.

Your baby can be moved from a moses basket to a cot bed between 4 and 6 months. A cot bed does the same job as a cot but, when the baby turns into a toddler, the cot bed can be changed from a cot into the bed (usually by taking off the sides). The principal difference between the two is that the cot bed can last up to five or six years depending on the size of the child whilst a cot will need to be replaced after a year or two.

Mattress

Then, you have to choose a good mattress for your cot or cot bed. It is essential to buy a new mattress as the second-hand mattresses are not advised.

Mattresses come is several sizes, so buying the correct size is vital. As a general rule, when a mattress is gently pushed to one side there should be no more than 4cm gap to the rails. This is to prevent baby from becoming trapped. Next, it exist different mattress types:

a. Foam Mattress

There are the least expensive type and usually have a wipe clean PVC covering over a foam interior.

b. Sprung Mattress

These mattresses are of a similar construction to sprung adult mattresses. Usually one side is covered by a wipe clean PVC type material and the other side has a cotton covering. These covers are often removable for washing.

c. Fibre Mattress

This type is the most expensive and also the longest lasting. The construction is based on latex-coated coconut fibre to form an open cellular core which is finished with layers of felt and a wipe-clean covering. These mattresses are said to withstand considerable abuse (bouncing and jumping, etc…).

Baby changing table

A baby changing table comes to provide comfort and convenience to both the baby and the mother. You need to consider a few things before you buy a changing table. Consider the amount of storage space required for the baby’s requirements carefully – the common requirements are clothes, nappies and wipes, cotton wool, creams, lotions and ointments, and a separate space for dirty clothes and nappies. Remember that when the baby is on the table, everything should be within the reach of the mother. Besides sufficient storage space, the diaper table should have guardrails, safety straps, and a non-toxic finish.

Nursery Wardrobe

Although your baby is only tiny, you will be surprised how extensive his or her wardrobe can be, so if you have the space and the finances, a nursery dresser is a great bonus. It is a good idea to find something to match the rest of your nursery furniture as it will help to maintain a consistent atmosphere.

Silver Cross Porterhouse Wardrobe

There are a number of other items that are also very useful, but if your budget won’t stretch, then you can manage without. Just make sure to choose colorful and beautiful furniture for your child’s room. It is a good idea to choose furniture from the same collection in order to maintain a consistent atmosphere. Have a look at Baby Elegance, Silver Cross, ByBo Design, Izziwotnot… Then, there are a lot of nice and lovely items such as curtains, rags, canvas, musical mobiles, nursery chairs to finish to adorn your baby’s nursery in a lovely way…

As a woman’s body changes throughout her pregnancy she can expect her breasts, belly and hips to grow larger.

So, as every woman buys maternity clothes, every woman should also buy maternity bras.

Maternity bras differ from regular bras in several ways.

-          The material is often different in maternity bras compared to regular bras, they will offer more support throughout the cup and straps.

-          Maternity bras may also have adjustable cups and extra adjustable clasps on the back of the bra, this helps the bra grow with the woman as her body changes.

-          Women planning to breastfeed may want to purchase a couple nursing bras towards the end of their pregnancy.

When to Switch?

Most women will feel more comfortable in a maternity bra from the beginning of their pregnancy when their breasts are tender (the tenderness in the breasts is often due to hormonal changes).

Pregnant women should wear a bra at all times due to the added weight most women experience. Choosing a special night time bra with soft supports rather than an underwire bra will help sleeping in a bra be more comfortable.

Some women like to have the support of underwires during the day. Maternity bras with underwires are padded extra thickly for extra comfort and longer wear.

During the middle of the pregnancy most women will notice their bras tightening. This may be a good time to buy one or two larger sized bras or switch to a maternity bra if they haven’t already.

Sometime during the third trimester is a good time to switch from maternity bras to nursing bras if the mother plans on breast feeding. Many nursing bras have the same comfort features as a maternity bra with extra clasps on the front of the cup to allow the baby to nurse.

Now you are off to buy your new bra? Bear these four points in mind:

• Look for a soft, comfortable and supportive design. Natural fabrics like cotton will keep you cool and comfy.

• Avoid standard underwired bras – wire may restrict the developing milk ducts and cause pain and discomfort.

• Don’t just buy one size up from normal – get properly fitted.

• Go for wide, adjustable back and shoulder straps.

It’s a great opportunity to relax with your child, to take the time to see him growing up, to listen him laughing and maybe to discover new horizons with him!

But we know that travelling with babies and toddlers creates challenges all of its own…

That’s why, we, in JellyBean Group, will present you two inevitable products and give you advice to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible for you to holiday with babies and toddlers in tow.

• First of all, how to carry your baby? If you travel by plane or by train, we have to recognize that it’s not so comfortable to bring your travel system… In this case, have you ever thought in using a baby sling? It provides a convenient way to carry and nurture your child – hands free! There are no buckles, metal rings, or adjustments to be made, and the sling can be worn different ways to carry a baby or a toddler. Man or woman can use it; the celebrities like Brad Pitt or Cam Gigandet won’t say the contrary!

• Then, how to range your entire baby’s stuff that you need during the travel? Nappies, wipes, dummies, bottles, toys will be range in a stylish changing bag! There are a lot of Baby Changing Bags, but some of them have some particularities really useful:

- 3M Thinsulate insulated elasticated pockets allowing you to keep items cold or warm (perfect for keeping bottles of milk or food cool….).

- Magnet closure instead of Velcro (no more nosy closure or nasty fluff sticking to your bag).

- Agion anti-microbial coating killing all germs (really important for your baby hygiene).

- Changing mat with a memory foam (changing your baby is more comfy).

Then you can choose your perfect changing bag between different models, depending of the way that you want to handle it (backpack, handbag…), the colour or the material (leather, Teflon…). Now it’s so easy to be a fashion mum!
