Keep kiddies warm in the sea this summer!

Its lovely and sunny outside and an ideal time to get down to the beach.  But if you're anything like Team Happy Baby you'll know that keeping wee tikes warm in our freezing sea is not easy. Once they're in the sea its pretty much impossible to get them out again!

Coming soon to The Happy Baby Shop are the fantastic range of childrens wetsuits by Team Magnus.  These beautifully designed 5 mm children’s wetsuits will keep the young ones outside and laughing for hours longer.

Whether it’s a sunny day, but windy, or the water is cool, or it’s early spring or late autumn, or your child is susceptible to chills, our quality wetsuit will make all beach and pool trips into happier outings.

The wetsuits have been kept short because they’re so much easier to pull on and off that way. Short wetsuits also allow for easier running, diving and playing.

If you're considering a wetsuit from the high street, bear in mind that the 2 and 3 mm kids’ wetsuits for sale in the UK are the same thickness as the wetsuits used by children in the Mediterranean, not really suitable for our chilly waters!!

Holidaying with a wee one- Sterilising Issues!!

Going on holiday with an infant.  Worried about how to sterilise all your baby equipment??

Two really handy products I've found could make your life much easier.

1) Firstly for bottles the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Bottle Travel Steriliser is a microwave or cold water sterilising unit.   Use you bottle to measure the required amount of water, add 80mL water to the unit, add the basket and bottle and microwave for 3 mins. To use as a cold water steriliser just place the water, bottle and sterilising solution to the unit.  Ensure everything is submerged in the water and close the unit. Sterlise for 30 mins.

Light and small enough to place in a bag, ifs safe to use any time anywhere! Only £9.99 and includes a free 260ml Bottle


2) For those of you with very little room in the case, try the Oasis disposable sterilser bags.  Complete with sterilising tablets they are safe for all babys feeding equipment.  Simply fill the bag with lukewarm water, allow tablet fully to dissolve, add items and submerge for aminimum or 30 minutes.  Each bag is a totally self contained steriler unit lasting up to 24 hours.  Use a new bag and solution every 24 hours. Each pack contains 7 bags, and each bag is individually wrapped and fits easily into a pocket or handbag.  The manufacturers even state its safe to use with foreign water!!  Special Price of £7.39

Need a spare set of wheels??

When you have 2 children there are lots of challenges, not least is the double buggy debate.  A double buggy is expensive and bulky, so the alternative is a buggy board!



The Lascal BuggyBoard Mini is a safe and fun solution for shopping trips with two small children; one in the buggy, and one on the board. The BuggyBoard Mini fits umbrella and classic style and pushchairs, making it cost-effective for families with a classic taste.

The Lascal BuggyBoard Maxi fits 99% of pushchairs, making it truly universal.
Both are easy to fit, easy to use, and easy to store, the BuggyBoard Maxi provides a platform for adventure and excitement for all the family.

BuggyBoards are suitable for use by children aged 2 - 5 years old.

One of the most innovative products to have taken the nursery industry by storm, the Lascal BuggyBoard provides parents and children alike with a ride on platform for fun and adventure aboard a 'mini skateboard', simply attaching onto the back of your pushchair.


Compact and easy to maneuver, making forwards, backwards and up and down steps, given the unique Lascal suspension system.


For you, it's easy to walk behind, given the high ground clearance. For toddler, it gives a smooth ride, given the unique Lascal suspension.


It provides a welcome rest for tired toddlers, especially after school or on long days out, avoiding the tantrums of the terrible 2's...  

Positioned between your protective arms, the child will feel safe, unable to wonder off and get lost in busy crowds or main road.



The easy fit system ensures that it is simple to transfer between pushchairs. All you need is an extra set of connectors.
