For those lucky enough to have booked a summer holiday to escape the dismal weather, they’ll no doubt be splurging on a few summer essentials for the suitcase, and looking forward to a week or two in the sun.
For those staying in good old Blighty, flips flops and beach towels remain at the back of the wardrobe as we crank up the central heating and wait for summer to show it’s face!
So, since the British climate isn’t currently living up to expectations, we thought we’d pen a few top tips for summer survival!
Playtime
As weekends indoors seem to be becoming increasingly popular (we don’t blame you!), little ones will need a place to play. This Lindam Fabric Playpen not only comes with a cosy playmat to keep little bottoms warm and snug, but can be used as a room divider, playpen or multi panel gate. The ultimate safe haven for little ones whilst you get on with your never-ending to to list.
Tested to a million bounces (yep!) this Jump About Bouncer will keep active tots entertained for ages! Plus, ensure they get plenty of exercise too!
Safe and Sound
As the winds howls, we’re all cranking the heating up to keep cosy. Keep your little bundles safe with a Fireguard to protect wandering fingers from ferocious flames. Many of our fireguards can be used as room dividers to keep little ones in one place, as well as wall mounted and easily folded away for quick storage when the sun finally comes out!
Little ones spending lots of time indoors can quickly get cabin fever and want to explore. A safety gate will prevent mini mountaineers from tumbles tackling the stairs, plus ensure they don’t wander too far from view!
The humid air can make sleeping less than comfortable promting us to crack the windows open for a bedtime breather! If you’re airing the room, be sure little night owls are safe with these easy to fit window restrictors, allowing you to decide how far the window will open, and preventing little ones from falling out.
Out and About
For those venturing out to brave the elements, this Lambskin Stroller Liner will keep baby nice and snug (you might want to get in too!) Bob on a rain cape to keep out the wind and wetness and you’re good to go! For added protection from the downpour, this handy clip-on Pushchair Umbrella is perfect for hands-free outings!
Hopefully summer will brighten up soon! In the meantime, we plan to keep your little sun-seekers safe, even whilst they’re cooped up indoors!
