Early Rider Review - a cut above the rest

Two years ago we bought an Early Rider Classic in pink for our eldest daughter Harriet (was 3 and 1/2 years) and an Early Rider Lite for our youngest daughter Isabelle (was 20 months).  After a thorough thrashing by the best testers available we thought we'd share our experiences.   Read more...

Pili Pala Organic Children's Wear - Made in Wales

Funky, bold and different.  That's why we love this new clothing range from 'Pili Pala' or Butterfly in English.  Based down the road from us in Aberystwyth Pili Pala make ethical clothes that look great and are made for playing in.  Bright contrasting stripes, funky designs, fun birds and playful colours and all made from organic cotton and recycled fabric.  How cool is this lime stripe and chocolate brown jumpsuit!  The bubble dress is elasticated at the bottom to give it it's fun shape.  With your little girls wearing this and running around the garden this summer you'd be forgiven for thinking there was a giant bumble bee buzzing around.  Pili Pala clothes are all about letting chidlren be children.  Clothes from 12 months to 5 years and new birdie print babygrows from 0 months.

We had the below email from one of our customers today about our Celtic Herbal Nappy Cream which we thought just had to be shared.

"Just wanted to let you know a very positive comment about this nappy cream. My family and I had a holiday to Austria recently and my 7 month old daughter caught a virus and experienced severe diarhoea which resulted in a very sore and blistered bottom. Whilst this nappy cream is great normally, it simply wasn't strong enough to help her deal with this problem. I had to take her to an emergency doctor in Austria whose first question was "what nappy cream are you currently using?" When I showed him the jar, he said:
"This is fantastic cream - don't ever stop using it - there's nothing better than this". He had to prescribe a strong medicated cream to use for a few days until the blisters had gone, and then strongly advised me to continue with your cream.

Thanks again, I Love it.

Maria"

This fantastic cream is made locally here in North Wales using only natural ingredients, free from parabens and sulphates.  You can see the full list of ingredients on the product page here

The BecoPotty is a fantastic product which puts a smile on people's faces!  "you can put it in the garden when your child has finished with it" I said to a customer today "Put it in the soil, sprinkle some seeds on top and it will feed your flowers as it biodegrades" "But it will last until my son has finished with it?" she replied "Oh yes! it wont start to biodegrade until you put it in your garden" I said and we both laughed!

Plastic potties are extremely difficult to recycle and are often thrown away and end up in landfill after being in use for a short time.  The BecoPotty has been designed to have a minimal effect on the environment.  It is made from 80% bamboo and rice husks (rice husks are  discarded as they are a by product of rice production)  The BecoPotty will last for years in your home however once it is buried in soil it will begin to break down and will biodegrade in 2-3 years.  This potty has a high back and large splash guard so as well as being eco friendly (and funny!) it is also comfortable and hygienic for your child to use.

The BecoPotty is available to buy online for £7.99 at Babi Pur

Organic Baby Clothes brands

The Babi Pur team visited the kids fashion show Bubble in London last week on the hunt for some new organic baby and kids clothing lines.  What we discovered were some great new clothes from all our favourite suppliers such as Frugi, Piccalilly and Green Baby.  All three companies have achieved Fairtrade certification  for their cotton products and all three have some amazing new clothes for autumn/winter and summer 2010.  We can’t wait to show you all their new lovely clothes so keep an eye out at  www.babipur.co.uk in the coming months.

Organic cotton baby and childrens clothes are becoming more popular as people get to know the many benefits.  Better conditions for third world farmers,  less environmental impact and no harmful chemicals next to our childrens skin.
