TGF Rated Review: Chocolate Dots Travel Case by DwellStudio

What is it?

A very stylish travel case that can be used either as a washbag or as a carryall for essentials for baby.

Who is reviewing it?

Michelle, mum of Baby D.

In use

Last time around when I had my last child I tended to throw things in plastic bags for my baby. But this time around, being slightly more eco-friendly I have been looking around for a carry bag that I can put the baby essentials in, so I love the fact that this is so gorgeous looking, sturdy and does the job.

Any negatives

No I loved it.

Price and availability

Available from Lula Sapphire, with prices starting from £19.95 for the small size.

Overall

A great idea for mums about the town!

Lula Sapphire have some fab new ranges for winter, currently in stock, from both Dwell Studio and Green Baby.

This short sleeved bodysuit from Dwell Studio features a great animal print in some lovely bright colours. Made from 100% organic cotton and washable at 40 degrees, it’s eco friendly and practical too. It’s available in sizes 3-12 months and is priced at £13.95. There are a number of matching items also available, like a bib and burp cloth and a hooded towel.

Green Baby have some great bodysuit and romper designs out this season. I picked out this lovely envelope neck romper suit, which is a great, dark red, christmassy colour and ideal for either play or sleep. It will be comfortable too as it’s made from 100% organic cotton and is generously cut. The other good news about it is that it’s made on a fairtrade project in India. Sizes run from birth to 18 months and it’s normally priced at £17.50, but is currently available at £13.20.

Hot Picks from Lula Sapphire

Lula Sapphire always have a wonderful selection of really stylish baby and toddler products. Their range includes clothes, feeding and nursery essentials, as well as toys and CDs. Lula Sapphire are the first baby and toddler company to be carbon neutral. They care about the people that make their products and use manufacturers who they know treat their employees well. There are lots of gorgeous goodies to choose from, but here are my hot picks:

Baby sleeping bags are really useful. I used them with both my daughters and would highly recommend them. At this time of year, it can be hard to know what tog to use, but this Ladybird Sleeping Bag by Organic for Kids is 2.0 tog, making it ideal as a spring sleeping bag. It’s made from 100% organic cotton and has a soft, organic fleecy lining designed to keep babies cool in summer and warm in winter. The bag has a zip which closes at the bottom so children can’t fiddle with it in the night and it’s tested to strict UK safety standards. The Ladybird Sleeping bag costs £36.95 and is available in size 0-6 months.

Hooded towels are perfect for the summer as they can easily be snuggled around babies and children on the beach or by the swimming pool. Children will love all the little animals decorating this gorgeous Gio Hooded Towel by Dwell Studio, available in Lemon and Aqua (both £32). The towels are made from 100% cotton percale with a soft towelling back to keep little children warm and snug.

There are plenty of things for older toddlers too, including lots of gorgeous clothes. My favourite are the trendy cotton T-shirts by Glug. For the boys, this Motorbike Tee is perfect, while little girls will the Friends Tee. Both cost £21.95 and are available to fit 2, 3 and 4 years.
