Extreme Baby Rug

I kind of wish I'd known about the Baby Rug when Tabitha was smaller. A quick and easy way to wrap or swaddle you child, it also keeps them warm and can accommodate a five-point pushchair harness. It takes mere seconds to enfold your baby, making it ideal for changeable weather conditions or for wrapping your baby straight out of the swimming pool.

And here's another interesting product - the Extreme Baby Wrap! Reading about the polar fleece and water-resistant outer layer, along with that word 'extreme' in its name, my first thought was that these were designed for the kind of parents who take their children on Arctic expeditions or up Mount Everest. But no, they are simply a more robust version of the standard wrap, ideal for cold winters. And, like I say, I wish I'd known about them a couple of years ago, when Tabitha was born in the middle of a vicious winter. Ah well, at least Babygadget readers can benefit from my hindsight.
