Rain Needn’t Stop Play With Waterproof Trousers from Little Terra

Sprayway Trousers from Little Terra
As much as we may remember childhood winters consisting of crisp frosty mornings with perfect blue skies and a layer of glistening snow, the reality was probably very different.

It’s more likely most days were spent avoiding the rain and the slush – and it’s no different for children today.

That’s why outdoor clothing specialist Little Terra is living up to its reputation for supplying online brands to off-road kids with a range of waterproof trousers aimed at keeping youngsters outside and active whatever the weather.

The range features brands such as Sprayway, Regatta, Target Dry and Bush Baby that prove waterproof trousers can be on trend as well as functional.

Products include Bush Baby Kids Waterproof Mountain Dungarees, which are hard-wearing, fully-taped and breathable and come with a useful chest pocket.

Target Dry’s Packaway Overtrousers are lightweight, waterproof and windproof and they are the ideal solution for wet walks in the country or messing around in the garden.

Sprayway has been a name trusted by mums and dads for years, and now the brand’s Junior Rain Pants, are available from http://www.littleterra.co.uk

These practical trousers have a lightweight taffeta lining which, when teamed with a base layer, keeps young legs warm as well as dry.

Carolyn Budding, children’s clothing buying specialist at Little Terra, said: “As a mum-of-two myself, I know what a nightmare it can be if your kids get soaking or covered in mud on a walk.

“This range will keep youngsters warm and dry, but it also introduces some fantastic funky designs that children will love wearing.”

Waterproof trousers available from Little Terra are featured in their autumn and winter range video, available to view at http://www.youtube.com/user/LittleTerraShop

The Urban Meadow Supports Fairtrade Fortnight

''There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness...'' - Ghandi

Ethical kids clothing website The Urban Meadow will be supporting Fairtrade Fortnight with a series of special offers on Fairtrade brands such as Greenbaby and Boys & Girls.

"We will be featuring a different daily deal each day of Fairtrade Fortnight on our website www.theurbanmeadow.co.uk," explained a spokeswoman for the company.

Fairtrade fortnight is 27 February - 11 March 2012.

What The Urban Meadow believes
A belief that kids should be kids and fashion should be fairtrade is the driving force behind this start up business run by dairy farmer Claire Jones, mother of two and business partner and mother of three Alex Williams. The Urban Meadow is based near Wimborne in Dorset, in the heart of the Cranborne Chase countryside.

The Urban Meadow is a unique place selling kids clothes, aged 0-11 years that are ethically sourced and organic. The collections are relatively small, many created by mothers who share the same vision of a sustainable future for future generations. It’s fashion with a conscience – without compromise on the outstanding quality, brilliant colours and fun designs that parents expect.

We remember the days when we were young when clothes cost a little bit more but our mothers didn't expect to throw them out after a few wears. The clothes lasted through to the youngest sibling whether they liked them or not! We're passionate about the quality of our clothes - we are confident that they can be passed on from child to child and still look great. It may be a cliche but you do really get what you pay for - we'd love to do our little bit to help people move away from a throwaway society.

4.We stock a wide range of organic and fairtrade clothing from cute baby grows, comfy pants, on trend jeans, statement T's and very special dresses! Brands include Boys&Girls, Speesees, Greenbaby, Little Lark, Ideo, The Old Rectory, Bamboo Baby and more. The Urban Meadow clothes speak for themselves in terms of quality, originality and ethical awareness.

5.Sweatshop free is a must for us and where we can we always choose organic. Every worker from any country has a right to a fair working condition such as wages, hours and environment. Although not all our clothes carry the Fairtrade logo we can guarantee they have all been produced ethically.

Morrck Splasha given Special Commendation in the Tots to Travel Just Go! Awards

The Morrck Splasha has received a special commendation in the inaugural Tots to Travel Just Go! Awards. These awards are the first in the UK to focus exclusively on family friendly travel products that make it easier for parents to travel with young children. And let's face it, the more products like this, the better!

The Splasha (£19.95 available from www.morrck.com) is a hooded towelling robe for children aged one to seven that is great for days on the beach, camping holidays, festivals, the swimming pool, after bathtime or just chilling out. It’s a piece of kit kids will use daily, saving on packing lots of extras towels and clothes. And anything that saves time as well as being useful is a bif bonus!

The judges said of the Splasha: “This is a product that didn’t really fit neatly into any one of our award categories. But it’s something we’d be upset to forget to take with us on holiday! We were so impressed with the quality, feel and design of the Morrck Splasha that we felt it deserved a special award for being a product that we all loved!”

The judges, who included Wendy and Rob Shand (founders of Tots to Travel), Kathryn Blundell (editor of Mother & Baby magazine), Amanda Morison (travel editor of Angels & Urchins), Nicola Grant (founder of Holiday Nanny) and Gavin McOwan (family travel writer for the Guardian), collectively have 12 children between them and are experts on what makes travelling with tots easier.

“We were looking for items that solved real travel problems that most parents face. The products need to be small, light or easy to pack; be great quality; versatile so that they’re not exclusively used for just two weeks a year; represent good value for money and are thoroughly practical,” said Wendy Shand, family travel expert and founder of Tots to Travel.

Other winners were:
Fun & Games – Fuzzoodles – a pipe cleaner craft toy (£9.99)
For the journey - Bubblebum Inflatable Car Booster – an inflatable car booster seat (£29.99)
Sleeping – Snoozeshade – UV protection snooze shade for prams (£19.99)
Safety – Milton Sterilising Tablets (£2.29)
Feeding – Totseat – a fabric high chair alternative (£24.50)
