Description: Dream Tubes are a revolutionary, high quality and simple to use bumper system for a child moving from a cot into a single or cot bed. Two long, sturdy, inflatable tubes fit snugly into the pockets of the soft
100% cotton fitted sheet. This forms a safe and secure barrier, preventing the child from falling out of bed.
Score: 95.0%
What the testers said: “I was very impressed with this product. The frame to my child’s bed cannot fit a bed guard, and this can fit any bed. Definitely worth the money, as it is a very original and unique product that I’ve never seen anything similar to before.”
Description: The Samsonite 360 oozes masculinity and is a changing bag that dads will be proud to carry when out and about with baby. Doubling up as a computer bag, it is packed with internal and external pockets for essentials, such as bottles and nappies, and includes a wipe clean changing mat. Importantly, there is space to store mobile phones, cards, wallets and pens – and, of course, a laptop!
Score: 95.0%
What the testers said: “The Samsonite 360 is a very well made and good looking bag, and in the short time that I tested it, quite a few dads asked about it. The zips worked very well and didn’t jam, which quite often happens with cheaper items. The bag has loads of room and many pockets and compartments to store things away, which all dads will like.

A minor issue is the bottle/ mobile phone pocket on the outside of the bag. This would have been better if it was thermally insulated to keep a bottle warm. On the whole, however, this is an excellent bag designed with dads in mind, whether it’s used as a Laptop or changing bag. I would definitely recommend it to other dads.”

Description: Bandana Wonder Bib- dribbler: the bib with style that keeps babies’ necklines dry and clean. Part of the wonder bib range, it is the bib that really works! Made from 100% cotton and super-absorbent velour towelling with a nylon water resistant backing, to keep babies dry.
Score: 94.7%
What the testers said: “This was a fantastic product; it had a nice snug fit the whole way round the neck to catch any dribble, unlike other bibs, but was not too tight. The material was very thick, so liquid never got through to clothes, which saved on washing. The bright colours and fashionable design make it appealing to children, so they do not mind wearing it.”
