Mamas & Papas Nipi Stroller with free nappy bag!

Meet the smart-styled Mamas & Papas Nipi. It's got all the substance of the most famous of stroller brands with tons of individual style. Bright and beautiful, it features 'Oko Ruby' retro print fabric - eye-catching red combined with accents of fresh aqua.

Stunning looks aside, Nipi of course needs to have ultimate functionality. The hood is larger than you'd expect in a umbrella stroller, providing your little one with good sun protection. It's lightweight, just 6.4kgs and features individual wheel suspension, a 5-level reclining seat, and an adjustable leg rest. The Nipi is suitable from birth to 15kgs.

Even with my heavy 7-month old in it I could push it one-handed, and the wheels handled terrain admirably. It's perfect for those quick trips when you need a light, no fuss, compact option. It's robust too - the aluminium frame is corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for those seaside jaunts.

This gorgeous pram has a mate that will appeal to many - especially those of us who love to indulge in matching accessories. The Deluxe Change Bag is as indispensible as it is beautiful.  Made from the same  fabric, but with a matte, laminated surface for wipe-down convenience, it features as many pockets and compartments as you'll ever need. A superbly soft padded change mat fits inside for those on-the-go nappy changes, along with an insulated bottle carrier.

Purchase the Mamas & Papas Nipi Stroller in Oko Ruby for $259.95 and receive a co-ordinating Deluxe Change Bag worth $129.95, absolutely free!

Rounded edges, smooth lines, chic finishes, longevity and absolute functionality characterise the Shortstop range from Australian furniture company In Your Room. All of the products by In Your Room are designed and made in Australia and aim to be a part of the family home long after the kids have grown up.

After many years serving as a kiddy art and dining table, it can be used as a stool or side table, and the little seats can be used as mini tables, foot stools or step ups anywhere in the house. In the mean time children can sit comfortably at furniture designed for rambunctiousness. I can't see a single corner that might cause an inury.

Another piece that caught my eye is the Tablebox. I've seen this in action in a local baby boutique, proving it can be used for many applications. Invest just once - it will see many years, from nursery storage to sporting gear receptacle, right through to lounge room coffee table in university years!

I love that it hides all the clutter that can accumulate so easily. I can imagine just sweeping it all off the surface and into the handy box below and the room looking instantly sparse as though it were like that all the time.

In Your Room offers three finish choices of hoop-pine, European beech or laminate in 8 standard colours. Made from sustainable bent ply, the design beautifully embraces the character of the wood, yet remains contemporary in style. The table setting is for children from 18 months to 5 years.

In Your Room offers easy peasy online purchasing facilities with clearly stated and very reasonable delivery fees. Who knew buying furniture could be done from your lounge chair?! Alternatively, check the website for local stockists.  The Shortstop set (table and two stools) sells for $695 and the Tablebox is a bit of a splurge at $935.

Eon - celebrating New Zealand designers

Eon proudly showcases New Zealand design talent in furniture, home decor and things for children. Founder Angela Roper believes the things you surround yourself with should be a reflection of who you are, and it is this combined with the desire to provide a platform for NZ designers, that has propelled Eon into existence.

The entire collection is worth attention and the children's ranges are no exception. The Elephant Tee from Auckland label "Richard...son" looks brilliant in black. It also comes in blue and pink.

There's a neat ceramics range especially for kids featuring ducks, horses, cows and piggies. I love the two-handled cup - great for littlies perfecting their grip. All of the designs come in unisex colours which is handy if your kids don't care which one they get at mealtime. If they do, then simply get them to choose an animal or colour, and there won't be any squabbles!

Check out the Bo Mini Moo Boots. Made from expertly handled New Zealand hides and skins, tiny toes will be kept toasty all winter long. Each pair is unique as they are made to show the individual markings of the animal they are made from. They're just fluffy enough on the outside so that my toddler will look like a small yeti!

Boots are NZ$129, tees are $45 and the ceramics run at $29.90 per piece. Email Eon regarding shipping.

vintage styled threads - minus the wait

The whole 'vintage' concept has been floating around fashion circles for a while now, influencing what we as adults wear and recently I've noticed it making it's way further into children's wear.  Black Eyed Susie have exectuted this beautifully with their vintage-inspired dresses. They're a kind of modern-take on vintage, so they're funky enough to have people complimenting your taste, not asking how you removed the moth ball smell from your child's 30 year old dress! 

These little dresses from Black Eyed Susie are too cute in their comfortable A-line cut, making playing and going about daily activities super-easy.  The fabrics used in making the dresses are for the most part 100% cotton, thus making a fabulously hard-wearing and easy-to-care-for garment.  If it's value for money you're after (and most of us are!) this should be at the top of your list as a transeasonal wardrobe dress for any little girl - wear it by itself with sandals during summer and gradually layer it up for winter with long sleeved tops, tights and mary-janes.

My only wish is that my not-so-little Miss was little again because these Black Eyed Susie dresses would definitely be showing up in her wardrobe!!

Black Eyed Susie dresses are made here in Australia and are available online from evie lala from $40.00.
