Preparing for a baby is a really special time. The anticipation of meeting your new arrival is an incredible feeling but the task of getting prepared at home can create a whirlwind of emotions. With so many gadgets and products on the market aimed at helping families, it can be overwhelming knowing just want you need – and what you don’t.
A Bedside Crib Co-Sleeping Solution
Sleep is top of mind for most parents. Getting the right set up so you and baby have the best possible bedtime experience is something so many of us parents agonise over. Keeping baby safe, comfortable, in sight and within easy reach are top priorities, so a bedside crib that offers all of this is a must have. The Sweet2Sleep from Graco is the answer.
It’s Graco’s first bedside crib with a drop-down mesh side, giving parents the perfect co-sleeping solution. The head of the crib can be easily adjusted upward with a 4-position tilt and 11 height adjustments, which makes it simple to position baby perfectly next to you.
Packed full of features for peace of mind, the Sweet2Sleep is available now for just £120.
An Easy Fold Compact Stroller
Getting from A to B and back again with ease, while your little one is safe and comfortable, is essential. A compact stroller that’s lightweight and super easy to fold is one piece of parenting kit we couldn’t be without.
The Graco Myavo is a total game changer if you’re looking for a compact stroller that combines style, comfort, and versatility with a surprisingly affordable price tag.
Myavo’s one-hand, one-second fold is perfect for use on the go, wherever the day takes you. And, at just 5.8kg, Myavo is one of the lightest compact strollers on the market.
Suitable from birth up to approximately 4 years old (0-22kg), Myavo is available in five on trend colours – Steeple Gray, Clover, Dusty Rose, Mint (exclusive to Argos) and Midnight (exclusively at Smyths Toys) – for just £130.
A Soothing Swing Chair
For those moments when you need to be hands free, but baby doesn’t settle unless they’re being rocked, a swing chair is a must. It helps to soothe and calm baby with an automatic swing motion, perfect for keeping them content while you grab a moment to shower or have a hot cup of tea!
Graco’s All Ways Soother moves and soothes babies like parents do. It features 16 soothing motions and has 10 charming melodies and five nature sounds.
Suitable from birth to approximately 9 months old (0-9kg), the innovative 2-in-1 design of the All Ways Soother means the swing seat conveniently doubles as a removable baby rocker. It’s available for £200.
A Lightweight Travel Cot
A pop-up travel cot is a fantastic multi-use item for home and away. It’s a piece of kit that will work hard whether you need to find a safe space for baby to play at home or a quiet spot for a nap or comfortable night time sleep when you’re travelling.
Graco’s FoldLite travel cot is the perfect solution. At just 6.78kg, it’s 30% lighter than its traditional travel cots. It also features a dual fold function for ease of use.
The ‘Home Fold’ option is designed to be a ‘quick up and down’ fold so you can tuck it into any space in your home in seconds and pops back up just as quickly.
The ‘Travel Fold’ collapses down even further to become incredibly compact, making it the perfect option for family trips away.
The FoldLite is available for £80.00.
A Rotating Car Seat
Keeping your precious little one safe when out and about in the car is critical, but it can be a total minefield selecting the right car seat. Firstly, ensure the car seat you choose is certified to the latest safety standards.
Then, think about practicality. A seat, such as the Graco Turn2Me™ i-Size R129, meets these safety standards and gives you a one-hand 360º spin that makes getting your little one in and out of the vehicle easier than ever.
Offering extended rearward facing from 0-18kg (birth to approx. 4 years) and forward facing from 9-18kg (up to 4 years), the car seat will grow with baby to child. It also has a 10-position recline, 6-position headrest and removable newborn insert that will keep your little one comfy and properly fitted for any journey.
The Turn2Me™ i-Size R129 is available now for £160.00.
