splash out

'Bathtimes used to be hard work because Millie was so wriggly! Once she could sit up, from about six months, we tried the aquapod®. The non-slip bath mat means she's secure, the seat is supportive and it indicates if the water is too hot. Now Millie is free to play, while I find it much easier towash her.'
Pippa Green, mum to Millie, 10 months

happy days

'Thomas loves his baby bouncer. He's clearly frustrated at not being mobile like his older brother and grizzles quite a lot–until I put him in the bouncer. He turns from Mr Grumpy to Mr Giggly in an instant!'
Vicky Simmonds, mum to Thomas, four months, and Elijah, two years

easy eating

'We love our travel table seat . It folds down to a very small package so we take it everywhere – holidays, days out, meals at friends' houses. From an early age both children have been able sit up at the table with us when we dine out with people who don't have kids. I think that's why my two are so sociable and such good eaters!'
Vicki Jones, mum to Rachel, four, and Dylan, 14 months

up we go

'Since Phoebe got so heavy, it's become my job to carry her around! Luckily our back carrier makes the whole job a lot easier. She loves the view from up high, and it's so useful not having to take along the pushchair when we fancy a stroll.'
Mark Draper, dad to Phoebe, 10 months

all aboard

I've tried this stroller platform and really recommend it. It fitted on to my pushchair easily. My 8-month-old Rosie sits in the pushchair and my toddler Ben can jump on and enjoy the ride whenever he gets tired. It really takes the stress out of getting from A-B.
Belinda Carr, mum to Rosie, 8 months and two-year-old Ben
