Childcare Cuskiboo
Manufacturer: Cuski Ltd. Tel: 01829 771 825 Web:
www.cuski.com Price: £15.99 Age range: From Birth
Description: A cosy comforter made entirely form organically grown bamboo. Extra soft, very loveable and anti-bacterial, so all those grubby germs can’t stick. It is ultra absorbent, and picks up all those mummy smells to help baby to drift off to sleep. Safe and machine washable. The only comforter used in neonatal wards and special care baby units.
Score: 83.0%
What the testers said: “A lovely feel, very soft and interesting for baby, this comforter would definitely be best if used straight from birth. The ball in the head area did get in the way when using with my newborn, but this would probably have more of an appeal as the baby gets older. The idea of it capturing the mum’s smell is good and adds to the comfort factor. I would recommend this product.”

Description: Specifically designed to address a root cause of adult back pain, the Hipseat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their weight from underneath. Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest, providing comfort and security for adult and child.
Score: 82.7%
What the testers said: “This is a great product, it is handy for short trips, and it lets babies feel the fresh air without parents getting uncomfortable. Many grandparents also loved this product, as they had bad backs, and the Hipseat allows them to carry their grandchild. It would be great if they made a seat with blackguard for a
hands-free version.”
