What the testers said: “A good sized screen with a very clear picture and an excellent infrared mode at night. The extra features, such as the lullabies and room temperature monitor, were very useful in helping little ones get to sleep. The only problem is that batteries run out very quickly so it has to stay plugged in.”

Childcare Blooming Gorgeous Peace Blossom Bag
What the testers said: “This was a fantastic bag and I loved the look. When you have a small baby you do not get much chance to use a handbag, so to have a changing bag that looks so stylish is a real bonus. It was very practical and just the right size. It has lots of useful pockets and clips for storage and the changing mat is very good quality. It is a little expensive but the style content and quality makes it worth it!”

What the testers said: “A fantastic multifunctional tandem pushchair! Very easy to change into a single pushchair or into a carrycot pram. The seats are a good size and are well-padded so little ones are comfortable. The pushchair looks very smart and is really well- built; the ride is very smooth and easy to

control. Even when there is a child in the second seat, there is a still lot of space at the bottom for shopping. The only negative point is that the pushchair does not come with a rain cover.”

Score: 90.0%
What the testers said: “A good quality, durable, portable seat. We did find it a little low for a young toddler to reach the table from a dining chair. When we first got it out of the packet we thought it might be a little complicated, but actually it was very simple to follow the detailed instructions to attach it to an assortment of adult dining chairs. Love the
tiny bag it comes in to tuck it away and it fits very neatly into a changing bag. We also used it with a child of 36-months-old who had severe SEN and it was fantastic for him because he was secure and stable and he loved it – making us all happy at meal times!”
