Rain Needn’t Stop Play With Waterproof 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.”

Insulated and waterproof, the Challenger and Avenger jackets for boys have a snow skirt and a removable heavy weather hood for when the conditions close in or for long, wind-swept chairlift ascents.

For girls, the Lola jacket combines fabulous looks with high performance to keep children warm and dry on the mountain and in resort.

As with all Spyder products, the jackets have been designed specifically with skiers in mind, resulting in useful additions such as internal mesh goggle pocket, attached chamois lens wipe cloth, lift pass pocket and adjustable cuffs.

Little Terra Backs Vaude and Bush Baby Child Carriers

A good child carrier provides young people with a comfortable ride and a bird’s eye view – and the user with a comfortable way of carrying their precious load.

Both the Bush Baby and Vaude Baby Carrier ranges are stocked by the children’s retailer Little Terra.

Carolyn Budding, who is the managing director of Little Terra, has hand-picked both premium brands due to the wide range of models they offer, providing a choice of options for buyers and an advanced level of adjustment to make both child and carrier comfortable.

With years of experience transporting children in these types of carriers, Carolyn, as with every item stocked by Little Terra, has used her own experience as both a specialist buyer and a mother of two to ensure products are more than capable of meeting the demands of modern families.

Carolyn said: “Child carriers are suitable for children from around six months of age and offer a more versatile means of getting around, where pushchairs could struggle to handle the terrain, or are difficult to manoevre such as around busy city centres.”

Little Terra has produced a free downloadable guide to help parents make an informed choice when selecting a back carrier.

Available online at http://www.littleterra.co.uk/Advice_and_FAQ/Child_Back_Carri... the guide is packed with information, including fitting, frame construction, weight considerations and accessories.

Little Terra can help you protect your children's eyes from UV

The low setting autumn sun can cause discomfort for eyes and while a good deal of emphasis is placed on protecting children’s tender skin from the rays, it is also extremely important for parents to consider investing in eye protection for their youngsters.

Specialist children's buyer Carolyn Budding, of the retailer Little Terra, has built up a range of high protection sunglasses ideal for all seasons, which are as enticing for children as they are reassuring for their parents.

Carolyn said: “At Little Terra, our children’s sunglasses and ski goggles have been carefully selected to filter UV rays and shield young eyes, supporting youngsters in spring and summer, through autumn and also, with some brands, through the ski season.

“Sun rays come from all directions, even in autumn, and so the most efficient method of protecting the eyes is to wear good quality sunglasses, and to also wear a protective hat.

“A wide-brimmed hat can protect eyes from any rays coming from above or below the sunglasses – and choosing wraparound sunglasses rather than standard design frames offers further protection.

“Design features such as soft temple ends and soft silicone nose and brow pieces embedded in the frame also make for a more comfortable fit.

“Some products also feature an adjustable neoprene strap to make sure the glasses fit securely and don't get pulled off.”

Little Terra has produced a free downloadable guide to help with the purchase of children's sunglasses and goggles. Find out more at www.littleterra.co.uk/Protecteyes

Little Terra Develops Online Guide To Child Back Carriers

Child back carriers are enjoying a growth in popularity, as parents enjoy the freedom and convenience of taking their youngster about the town or country without the limitations of a pushchair. But, choosing the right type of carrier can be a challenge, with so much choice and variety in the marketplace.

Now Little Terra has produced a free downloadable guide to help you make an informed choice when selecting a children’s back carrier.

Available online at www.littleterra.co.uk/choosingchildcarriers the guide is packed full of information including fitting, frame construction, weight considerations and accessories.

Carolyn Budding, the managing director of Little Terra, said: “Child back carriers are invaluable pieces of gear when spending time outdoors with a youngster.

“They enable people to navigate across places that might be more difficult to access in a pushchair, such as over stiles during countryside walks, and children enjoy the elevated position and close contact to the carrier they offer.

“We recommend that carriers are generally suitable for children from six months who can sit unaided. However, coupled with the age factor, there are a number of areas to consider when purchasing this type of equipment and we hope this guide helps signpost people to make the right choice.”
