Good clean fun

Every now and then a kid’s product comes along that is nothing short of genius. Designer Kristina Andersson devised the ultimate gadget for lazy parents: the world’s first rideable vacuum cleaner. Sadly it’s merely a design concept which basically means, ‘in your dreams, padre’. Never mind - there’s still a range of fun vacuuming toys on the market for mini housekeepers who have not yet discovered that cleaning up is a chore. We especially like this Fisher Price 2-in-1 Giggle Vacuum that features a triple whammy of Sesame stars: a reversible Elmo and Cookie Monster on its front and Oscar the Grouch spinning in the centre cylinder. Buy it online at the Etoys store.

Zoo suit

The weather may still be mild(ish) for this time of year but it’s not too early to pop baby in a snowsuit. And there’s not much cosier than a handmade soft fleece snowsuit designed by Welsh company Cuddle Zoo.


This rainbow striped suit will keep your little one warm and add a burst of colour to a sunless winter day. Order with matching blanket from the Cuddle Zoo online store.
