Bibetta Boppity Boo! Bibs that work like magic…

image

Neoprene ImageBibetta design and produce a wide range of unique bibs, bags and mats, many of which are made from neoprene (wetsuit material). Mums Baby Magazine put one of the Bibetta UltraBibs to the to test with a mini messy eater…

The Bibetta Ultra Bib has a 100% waterproof, rubber, inner layer and is covered in tough, durable nylon for easy cleaning and super quick drying. The outer, fabric layer absorbs only a thin layer of liquid and can be wiped clean. The Bibetta UltraBib is super soft and really flexible, making it comfortable for little ones to wear.

Bibetta UltraBibs feature a ‘scoop’ base pocket to the bib where food can be caught and collected if dropped, protecting clothing. This scooped pocket can be reversed to make ridding of discarded food far easier. The scoop pocket can also be reversed and folded for simple storage, the pocket is also made from soft, flexible neoprene and is therefore far more comfortable to wear than most other rigid, plastic bibs.

Fold-out pocket Bib image demo 2The Bibetta UltraBib is easy to put onto and remove from your child, a simple Velcro tab is featured at the back of the bib, enabling the Bibetta Ultra Bib to be altered in size if required. Once used the Bibetta UltraBib be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius (or less) and tumble dried on a cool setting.

The Bibetta UltraBib is available in a range of sizes, colours and designs (including with or without sleeves!). Prices for the Bibetta UltraBib range between £3.99- £8.99 dependent upon size and design.

9Mums Baby Magazine were particularly impressed with how easily the Bibetta UltraBib can be put on, altered in size and removed with little fuss or mess. Our mini messy eater seemed happy to wear the bib and appeared comfortable whilst using the bib. Mums Baby Magazine give the Bibetta Ultra Bib 9/10

Bringing Bibs into Fashion with the Bright and Beautiful Bubba-Bibs

imageWhilst bibs are a practical tool which are necessary for young children to wear, they aren’t necessarily fashionable. Standard bibs often get in the way of day to day activities for younger children as they flap over their face and are wet through after only a short amount of time.

Made in the UK from the finest cotton, Bubba-Bibs Bandana Bibs feature a fleece backing which protects your little ones clothes and skin from becoming wet, thus reducing the chances of your child experiencing a moisture/ dribble rash. Bandana style bibs are hugely popular with children as they appear far more mature than most bibs, styled in a similar fashion to a neckerchief/ day-wear scarf.

Mums Baby Magazine are big fans of bandana bibs and therefore give the Bubba-Bibs 10/10 for comfort and design. Bubba-Bibs are available in a wide range of colours and designs and can be altered in size using a two option press stud fastening. Bubba-Bibs retail at only £3.00 per bandana bib, including postage and packaging! For further designs and information visit www.bubba-bibs.co.uk

Mighty Meals in a Minute!


image

There are times when making meals for your little ones can be difficult. Whether it’s because you have a meal planned for the adults of the household which isn’t suitable for younger children and you simply don’t feel up to making two meals, or whether it’s simply due to time constraints. There are times when convenience foods are the most sensible and realistic answer.

Organix produce a wide range of organic foods designed specifically for each age stage from four months to toddlerhood, all of which can be prepared and served within minutes. Organix food products are made with organic, tasty and natural ingredients to suit your child’s nutritional requirements Organix use the finest quality ingredients with no unnecessary additives in order to offer a ‘no junk promise’ to both children and parents.

Organix have recently launched the new ‘Mighty Meal’ selection, a range of nutritious and tasty meals suitable for children twelve months and over. Mums Baby Magazine put all five of the Organix Mighty Meals to the test with two toddlers (aged 1 and 2 years old).

Although the Mighty Meals seemed to smell quite nice after being heated, one of our toddler tasting testers wasn’t hugely impressed by Organix range and turned down the meals offered after only a few spoonful’s. We would like to suggest that the reason for this response was due to the fact that this toddler had been weaned using 100% natural, home made products and had then continued to eat home cooked meals each day. Our second toddler tasting tester responded positively to the Organix Mighty Meals and overall seemed to enjoy eating the meals.

There are currently five Mighty Meals available on the market:

  • Spinach Falafels in a big beany sweet red pepper sauce
  • Creamy Chicken Pasta with sweet corn
  • Hearty Lamb Hotpot with chunky vegetables
  • Tomatoey Beef Bolognaise with butternut squash and pasta shells.
  • Pork Meatballs in a tomatoey chickpea and sweet potato sauce.

5The Organix Mighty Meals are well packaged, the ideal portion size for toddlers, easy to prepare and serve within minutes and are therefore a good solution for ‘meals on the hop’. However, due to the negative response from one of our two testers, we therefore give this product 5/10.

Mighty Meals are available from Boots or can alternatively be purchased from the Organix Online Store for £1.99 per meal.

image

Suitable for twelve months and over, the Organix Goodies range of ‘squeezy snacks’ are the perfect solution to eating healthily whilst on the go.

Available for only 89p from www.organix-shop.co.uk, these healthy, fruity snacks are available in a range of flavours:

  • Blueberry, Blackberry and Pear
  • Kiwi, Pear & Banana
  • Mango, Pear & Orange
  • Strawberry, Banana & Pear

Mums Baby Magazine put the Blueberry, Blackberry and Pear Squeezable Snack to the ‘toddler tasting test’ with a rather selective, young eater. The Organix Squeezable, Fruit Snack was devoured in minutes without any mess or fuss.

Organix offer a ‘no junk promise’ to their customers, providing parents with reassurance that their products contain 100% organic fruit with absolutely NO artificial ingredients. Fruit is a natural source of vitamins which aid development and growth.

The Organix Goodies Squeezy Fruit range feature a screw top (which should be removed and held onto by a parent when in use as small parts could cause possible choking hazards for little ones) preventing any waste as the lid can be secured to store uneaten fruit. Each packet contains 100g of fruit which count towards your child’s ‘five a day’.

10Mums Baby Magazine were clearly instructed by our ‘two year old, tasting tester’ to rewards this product with ten out of ten! The overall verdict from Mums Baby Magazine is  “more please!”
