The My Baba Measure: What’s Hot This Week

A round-up of the brands and experiences we’re loving this week. We’ve got the low-down on events to book right now, the best baby kit and new toys for autumn / winter.

BABY SLEEP: MOBA MOSES BASKET

The MOBA basket has been a long standing favourite of ours, and word is that Giovanni Fletcher is using one in pastel mint for her newborn, Max. The MOBA is the perfect first bed for your precious cargo to sleep safely by your side both day and night.

BABY SLEEP: BONDS Wondersuits

The iconic Bonds Zippy Wondersuits are made from super-soft cotton, and this season’s prints are as delicious as ever. The two-way zip makes baby changing fast and efficient while the zip cover keeps baby’s skin safe. Bonds Wondersuits are suitable from birth, and come complete with fold-over foot cuffs for those extra cold nights.

HERO PRODUCT: THE CYBEX LEMO HIGHCHAIR

The Cybex Lemo Highchair is one of our hero products of 2018. It’s Cybex’s first venture into the sphere of interiors/household goods. The Lemo is a 4-in-1 seating solution that can be used from newborns to adult. Just pick the attachments you need to match the age of your child. Have fun choosing between the funky colours! Our favourite is outback green.
