Children Bicycle Trailer & Jogging Stroller

We write our first post about this great Children Bicycle Trailer & Jogging Stroller, in which you can carry one or two kids, it comes with 5 point harnesses for both options (we’ve carried up to 4 happy kids!)

You can use it as a jogging stroller or to walk in places where it’s not easy to use a regular stroller (we’ve used it in a sandy beach as well as on the country side), being quite lightweight and easy to use. You can also attach it to your bike in quite a simple and safe way.

This is the second summer we use it, we’ve carried kids which now weight altogether more than 40kg without any issues (the maximum capacity is supposed to be 40kg).

It’s quite big, the kids are very happy to ride it and they have fun inside the trailer. Behind the kids there’s quite a big space, where you can carry for example some shopping bags or the tools and toys to go to the beach.

It’s quite easy to transport, you can take it appart and fold it. There’s a small detail they should fix, when you fold one part on top of the other, both pieces are at the same height, so the one on top isn’t completely folded and therefore it makes the folding a bit unstable. This is the one thing we would fix on this trolley.

It comes with the bike kit, the jogging/walking tires, a mosquito and a rain cover.

This trailer/stroller is great where the regular ones can’t go. It has a very good weight balance, you can easily raise the front wheel to overcome an obstacle. It also has a brake on the handlebar which is handy when you carry weight downhill.

The recommended usage is when the kids can sit down, when our baby was only 3 months old we use to carry her putting inside the car’s seat. The baby was very happy to go inside the stroller!

Regarding the price, it’s very affordable, especially compared to the other we found on the market. We’ve had it for a couple of years and we’ve used it a lot, it keeps working perfectly.

Our overall rating: 5 stars! Highly recommended!

Kids and Babies Swimming Aids

flotador bebe swimtrainermanguitos delpinThe swim season is here again, now it’s time to start enjoying the water with the kids again! We’re going to talk about the different types of tools we use for our kids, we’ve had the same float and swim discs for over 3 years and there’s always someone interested on them.

The SwimTrainer «Classic» float is supposed to be for babies between 3 months and 4 years (up to 40lbs or 18kg), we use it between 3months and 1,5-2 years. When we start swimming with our babies, at first we take them into the water without any device, so they can get used to the feelings and we make small games with them. Once they enjoy being in the water, we start using the float so they can enjoy moving on their own and to go into the sea safely (especially when it’s a bit wavy). It’s designed so it’s not easy to turn around and it has straps so the kid can’t fall out of it.  Of course, there must always be someone looking at the kids to ensure they’re safe. The swimming position with this float is allows kids to learn to swim easily. Babies really enjoy their independence in the water, especially when they’re so young they can’t even crawl and they start being able to move where they want to go in the water. It’s great for everyone!

Once the kids are a bit older, they want to be able to touch the water with their hands and play with it. That’s when we start using the foam Swimming Disks. Delphin´s Swimming Disks come on a 6 pieces pack (2 of each color), which can be used together or independently. At the beginning of the season we use all 3 of them on each arm, then we start removing disks 2 by 2. The kids feel very safe with the disks, they can start swimming independently from 1,5 years onwards (under adult supervision). This armbands are better than the regular blow up ones because:

  • They don’t leak
  • There’s no need to inflate them
  • Kids put them on happily – no red skin problems
  • Kids put them on and take them off easily
  • They are durable (this is our 4th summer with them, despite a number of sneeky bite)

  Apart from this, we have the typical water noodle, which is fun for them from 2 years on, and it’s great when kids start learning to swim, since it’s not as tied as the armbands. Adults need to be extra alert when kids are using the noodle…

Garden Swing Set with Glider

Columpio

Now that Spring is here and the weather is getting nicer, we’re going to review the Infantastic Swing Set with Glider we bought last year. This Swing Set has two Swing Seats and a Glider, so 4 kids can use it at the same time.
When we bought it more than a year ago we were looking for a swing set for the garden of a house with four kids, we bought this one which looked nice and had a really good price – below 100€, the rest we had seen were over 150€.
We spent a couple of hours assembling the Swing Set between 2 people, the instructions are simple and easy to follow. All the pieces came in good condition. It comes with quite a large number of screws, we recommend classifying them initially and using an electric screwdriver to save up time.

The swing seats are made of light plastic, if the kidscolumpios plástico accidentally pass nearby the hit won’t be as hard as if they were made of wood of metal. The kids that are using it are quite young (between 1 and 5 years) and they’re all quite happy using the Swing Set. The older kids also like using the lateral bars as monkey bars and hang on them.

engancheWe have it just as it comes, but you can also hang a toddler swing seat if you want. Our babies (1,5 years old) love using the Glidder and are able to hang on to it. The swing seats are not tall as they come, the 3 years old kids can use them and get off easily.

For the moment, the swing seat is in very good condition and we haven’t done any maintenance work on it at all, so we’re really happy with it. Ours isn’t anchored to the ground and for the moment this hasn’t been a problem, we’ve read that the version in the UK comes with ground bolts.

All In One Suits, Dungarees, Overbooties and OverMittens Togz

Product DetailsProduct Details

Yesterday we went for a walk to the mountains, to play with the snow and go sledding down the slopes and I thought I had to write about the Togz oversuits.

A couple of years ago I bought the eldest an All in One suit in a store which became too small right when the stores had already changed to spring clothes but it was still cold, so it went online to buy a new one.

After digging around, I bought the Togz Childrens Warm and Dry All in One Suit. This suits are quite baggy, which allows to put as many layers of clothes as needed depending on the temperature.

The eldest used the suit for the rest of the winter and the youngest has been using it to crawl around the park all this winter without getting wet at all. These suits are of really good quality, yesterday after spending all morning playing and crawling on the snow, the kid was warm, and the suit has been in use for more than two years…

I also bought the Fleece lined Overbootie, and the Waterproof Fleeced Line OverMittens. We use the mittens until we lost one, and we use the overbooties when we go to the snow, we don’t have special boots for the kid, and with the overbooties it’s more than enough.

This year we bought the eldest the Dungarees, so we can take him to school on the bike (it’s really cold in the morning) and then he can go outside in school only with the coat. The kid is really happy to go on the bike in the mornings and he isn’t cold even when it’s slightly below 0º celsisus, underneath he only wears normal pants.
