Our Rainbow Buggy - Stokke Summer Kit

Summer is full of colour from the green of the healthy grass, the blue of the sky and sea and the yellow of the sunflowers.  The new summer kit from Stokke is perfect for enjoying the colour with its  vibrant rainbow stripes and it stands out everywhere we go.

The summer kit fits onto an existing pushchair and comes as a hood, back panel, bumper bar cover, terrycloth seat liner and sun sail.  The hood has UPF5 50+ protection  to keep baby cool even in the heat and the packaway sun sail shades them from direct sunlight.  The liner absorbs moisture to keep the little one cool and is easily washable.

Everywhere we go, we turn heads, this pushchair stands out for all the right reasons and I am going to be very reluctant to go back to our usual red when the summer comes to an end. 

This summer kit is suitable for the Stokke Crusi, xplory, trailz and the xplory carrycot and costs £119.  We are using it on our Stokke Crusi for Finn at the moment - I love how high up he is and how comfy he looks in the seat.  It is brilliant to be able to completely update our pushchair each season and I am definitely planning on getting a winter kit when the weather cools!

What the Boys Wore - Polarn O Pyret

All children are created equal, they are all the same, yet so different.  Babies are just that and whilst their gender plays a part in many things, it doesn't need to affect how we dress them and Polarn o Pyret's latest collection 'Same difference' celebrates unisex design.   Known for their long-lasting and bright designs, this Scandinavian company have a reputation for great quality and clothes that can last through many children and this wonderful unisex outfit that Finn is wearing will be perfect for our baby girl to wear next year too.

I am sorry for yet more beach pictures, but it is our favourite place to be at the moment and these clothes are perfect for a crawling, cruising, climbing baby in the sand.  The wonderfully bright rainbow stripes mean I can always spot him and the soft stretchy fabric doesn't restrict him at all as he explores.

The purple shorts seemed to be a head turner and we had so many positive comments about how nice it was to see a boy in purple.  Often purple is confined solely to the girls section but these shorts are ideal for a child whatever the sex in.  They looked lovely on finn's little legs and were generously sized for his cloth nappy too

I love Finn in bright colours and these items are going to be a staple part of his summer wardrobe.  I really love that the range goes from birth to 6 years (and the sizing is generous) so you can buy matching for siblings too.  In fact, Britney bump has a short sleeved vest in the rainbow stripes that I cannot wait to get her in!

The t-shirt and shorts are currently both £10 each in the baby sizes (up to 2 years) and the range includes a hat, dress and playsuit as well as other items.  You can find them on the Polarn o Pyret website
