A Gift For The Small Adventurer



Maxwell and I often enjoy going for walks in the forest however often I worry that he may run off and I will loose him. The forest is a huge place with lot's of hiding places and as a parent I could not think of anything worse than loosing my child. Recently Maxwell was sent the Goldbug Owl Harness Buddy to test out. I have previously heard lots of good things about the Goldbug Harness range so I was excited to finally get my hands on one.

There are 25 different designs in the Goldbug range. The range is mostly made up of animals however there is also a design perfect for any little girl - a fairy. Due to the huge amount of different designs in the Goldbug range there is something to suit any little girl or boy. The Goldbug Harness can be worn just about anywhere and I would say it is perfect for children to use from 18 months+.

The features which the Goldbug Harness includes are great. The Goldbug Harness is not just a safety harness, it also transforms into a bag so essentially when you buy this product you are getting a 2 in 1. The handy storage pouch which is situated at the back of the bag is big enough to fit a drink in or perhaps a selection of snacks. The Goldbug Harness also features adjustable straps which allows you child to be able to move freely when using the harness as well as a safety reign with a secure clip attachment.

One of the things which I really liked about the Goldbug Harness was the fact that it is machine washable. Many childrens harness's do not include this feature, I find this feature especially important as Maxwell is forever getting things dirty. After a short walk in the forest and after jumping in numerous amounts of muddy puddles, there is nothing worse than leaving a wet muddy harness on the side.

As a parent I adore the Goldbug Harness. I love the way it looks, the owl design is especially cute and the material is lovely and soft for small people to wear.  I love the features it includes and I especially love the fact that it is machine washable. I would say the price of the Harness is reasonable at £19.99.

Diono Solar Eclipse Window Shade

Are you looking for a good quality sun shade for the car this summer?
Protects your children from the sun and its harmful rays?

Diono have children's safety as their number one concern and offer a number of safety products for your children to keep them safe throughout the summer. We have been travelling with Maxwell in the car and the sun has been a issue. I was excited when I learnt Diono offer a Solar Eclipe Sunshade. We were recently sent one to see what our thoughts were on it.


The sunshade was extremely easy to fit in the car and took a matter of minutes to fit to Maxwell's window. The sunshade was held by 3 suction cup. At first I was a little scared that the shade may fall as the shade is quite heavy however after a few journeys I was proven wrong and I found the shade did not move from the place I had fitted it from.

The Solar Eclipe Sunshade has been well made and has a clever design which helps protect children when travelling in the car. The sunshade has 2 layers which are both held down by suction cups. The first layer is a blackout layer which is UPF 50+. I found the shade let some light in however it did protect Maxwell from a lot of the sun. The second layer is a mesh style screen which does not provide UPF protection but takes the horrid glare of the sun away from Maxwell's eyes.

The shades are a ideal size to travel with and to keep in the back of the car if they are not in use. They easily wind back up into the main unit and so far they have not managed to get stuck. They are child friendly and are good quality. The design of the shades makes it easier for children to travel with ease in the car and make their journeys a lot more comfortable. 

You are able to purchase your own Diono Solar Eclipse Window Shade from many retailers including Halfords and JoJo  Mamam Bebe.
