Baby Jogger City Mini GT
Hello! I am in the process of buying a pushchair ready for baby's arrival, and my main criteria is that it isn't too expensive (under £400), and is very light and manouverable as I will struggle with lifting anything to heavy (am just very weak). I've found some good reviews of the Babby Jogger City Mini GT, but just…

holidays....
Can i ask where you all holiday? I've been saving to hopefully take my girls to eurodisney next year. An acquaintance has booked for next year £1300 for two nights. Im not sure if its the going rate but it seems extortionate for two nights. Dh has said for that price we could probably have a week abroad and he would prefer…

All mums!
I found this and had to share: To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom. To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough…

Baby stuff to pack as a useful gift -- advice wanted.
No, not me, for my sister. She's expecting her first and she's asked if I could bring her some things when I come visit for my holidays. I'm thus constrained to only pack items that are relatively light/space-efficient and of real value to a new mother. Alas, there's no returning things or swapping them out if they don't…

Car sear for baby under 8 months
Going to a wedding in June and thinking of booking a taxi. I was told there is no need for car seat for baby under 3 yrs in a taxi. Surely it cannot be safe if baby sits on my lap. Also baby will be charged extra as it will be 4 adults + baby. Thinking of taking bugaboo with seat adaptors but it will be bulky and…

Ideas for a 10 year old spiller!?
Hope this is in the right place! My DD likes a hot chocolate of a night time before bed, but i am finding more often than not that she is spilling her drinks all the time. I have a rule that cold drinks have to be in a lidded bottle (the type you get with packed lunch boxes), or lidded beakers she has with straws. I don't…
