I would like to recommend the Scuttlebug for some outdoor and indoor summer fun for all toddlers this summer! Oh what amazing fun your little one can have in the holidays scooting around the house or garden. There is no chance of them getting bored with the Scuttlebug, and you will be so highly impressed with it, that you will be recommending it to all your loved ones who have young children! Just take a look at this cute little Scuttlebug:-
The Scuttlebug is an insect inspired innovative trike for toddlers created by Mookie. It is extremely portable and easy to use, and the simple 3-step folding system allows the Scuttlebug to be ready in seconds. No patience required from either toddler or grown up – now, that sounds good! The range of colours and design is inspired from real bugs – ladybirds, beetles and bumblebees. They are truly wonderful and any young child will fall in love with it immediately! The Scuttlebug relies totally on toddler power which we all know is a non-stop energy source!
My Nephew is 3 years old (rather tiny for his age), and absolutely loves his Scuttlebug. He is constantly on it, and now that the good weather is here, there is no stopping him outside with it. The huge bonus of this is that he is so exhausted from riding his Scuttlebug, that getting to sleep at night is done so with the upmost ease! My sister loves it!
Feature and benefits are as follows:-
• Safe, reliable and durable
• Compact and lightweight to carry
• Easy to fold for storage or transport
• No assembly required
• Helps develop balance and steering skills
• 3 step folding action
• Smooth, quite and easy to ride
• Front wheel steering for great manoeuvrability
• Great Fun!!!
Scuttlebug from Mookie is available from all major retailers in a range of bright fun colours - Red Ladybird, Blue Dragonfly, Pink Flowerbug and Yellow Bumble Bee with an RRP of £29.99.

The fire-fighter fire hose backpack features a holster to store the nozzle when not in use.

With the summer now here, and the weather gorgeous (if it lasts!), I am sure you are all looking forward to you holidays and trips to the beach. Playing ball with the kids, having a dip in the water and sunbathing are all things that we love to indulge in on these glorious days. But, as for many, the annoying thing about sunbathing is the fact the towel you lay on just does not stay in place! So, for those who get really bothered about this, I would like to introduce you to the Beach Towel Clip, the funky simple new way to keep that beach towel in place!
The beach towel clip is designed as a holiday and travel accessory to hold the towel flat but is not designed to stretch the fabric tight. It is a fantastically clever idea, and may just become the ultimate accessory to carry to the beach! And, the clips are so easy to use too!
This nifty clip comes in a handy set of four and when snapped apart is simply pushed into the sand to hold down the four corners of your towel. Simply take the clips out of the storage box, carefully separate and using the palm of your hand or sole of a bare foot push the clip into the sand catching the corner of the towel making sure that it is flush with surface so people don’t stub their toes. Repeat this process for the other corners ensuring that the towel is flat - easy as pie!
So, find your spot on the beach, lay down your towel, and carefully push in place then relax in the sun! Hassle free relaxing is something we should all partake in!
The beach towel clips are sold on http://www.thebeachtowelclip.com, and are priced at £9.99 for a boxed set of 4 plus postage and packaging.
