Our favourite baby product doesn’t come cheap but, when you consider its longevity, it is well worth the investment. Suitable for use from birth, this high chair enables you to seat your baby at the table, giving them a safe place while you eat or cook. Our tiny tester seemed to enjoy being at the same height as their parents rather than being placed lower to the ground in a traditional bouncer.
As your child grows, a toddler seat can be added and the chair can also be fully adjusted to suit older children and even adults. We loved the sleek, minimalist look and were able to customise the colour to fit in with our home decor. We can’t praise this product enough.
You can never have enough muslin squares for mopping up sick, leaking breast milk and keeping baby warm at bath time. Made from 100 per cent cotton, this bargain pack is kind on the skin and is super absorbent for cleaning up spills. This pack of three has a mix of unisex designs that wash well and don’t shrink.
A godsend for little ones who will only sleep when rocked, this clever device can be strapped to the handlebar of your buggy, cot, car seat, or bouncer to provide a constant rocking motion to soothe your baby for up to 40 minutes at a time. It even has a sound and movement sensor that triggers it to start moving when your baby cries. This is particularly useful when even a brief stop at a road crossing or in a supermarket queue can be enough to interrupt your baby’s slumber.
The device is fully rechargeable in two hours and has several speed settings that enable you to tailor the rocking intensity to your baby’s needs. We were sceptical at first but it was an instant hit with our tiny tester, who was lulled to sleep within seconds.
