BUGABOO UPDATE: Bugaboo is about to release an update to their Wheeled Board, with a detachable seat, which means your toddler or tired pre-schooler has the option to sit or stand. 

The board can be positioned either to the left or right of the pushchair and when not in use, it can be clicked up or even detached for easy access to the under-seat basket.

The new Bugaboo Comfort Wheeled Board & Adapter is €119.95 and will be available online and in stores in September; www.bugaboo.com

Remove the inner crescent shaped cushion when you have finished breastfeeding and you have a handy bag for all those baby essentials.

Prices start at £33 (€45) (plus P&P), and the pillows are available online at www.thrupennybits.co.uk

APP TO GO:

The new ‘Little Driver’ app is one of the technical features of the new ?SKODA Superb. The app works in conjunction with ?SKODA’s new SmartGate technology, which makes data from the car’s electronic control unit available on drivers’ mobile devices.

‘Little Driver’ allows children to earn points by copying their parents driving, turning the steering wheel, braking and accelerating, changing gears and using indicators.

Children can also build their own ?SKODA car and use interactive controls for features such as radio, air conditioning and turning on the lights. The app is available for free on iOS and Android and suitable for ages three to six. www.?SKODA.ie
