Buggy Tech Station

If you want an all in one storage option for baby and technology needs then this is the perfect solution for daddy’s on the go. At £20 the Buggy Tech Station is great value for money and will keep you connected and organised when out and about with your little traveller.

You can keep it slotted into the back pocket of the tech station for rear facing babies or detach the sleeve and place it near them if you’re trying to get jobs done. The tech station fits on to most buggies with a two or single handle bar and its flat based design means that it’s easy to stand up on flat surfaces.The decent storage area has enough space and sections for most baby essentials with an insulated bottle pouch and useful keyring loops. It’s compatible with phones and tablets up to 10 inches in size and easy to take on and off if you stop off anywhere on route. A simple yet clever design.

Mifold Booster Seat

The World's Most Compact Booster Seats

The innovative design of the Mifold booster seat makes it an impressive ten times smaller than your standard child booster seat. It’s the first time in more than fifty years that there has been such an advancement in the market and Mifold is now officially the most compact, portable and advanced seat in the world.

Unlike regular boosters that raise your child up to fit an adult seatbelt, Mifold’s designers have created a seat that actually lowers an adult seatbelt to fit around your child snuggly without strapping their stomach and neck. Its difference in design doesn’t take away from its safety and ticks all safety standards on children aged between 4 and 12 years if age.

The Mifold is small enough to store in your glove compartment, door pocket or changing bag and perfect for travelling abroad as you literally can grab it and go. Its compact size also means you can have more than one in your car stored away if you ever have more than one child travelling with you. It can even be personalised with your child’s name for that special touch.
