The BassiNest® is the only bassinet on the market that swivels 360 degrees for safe, close sleep. The patented retractable wall allows parents to care for their baby from the comfort of their own bed by lowering the bedside wall.
What we love about the BassiNest is that it gives parents reassurance that their baby is sleeping safely in their own space. The rotation of the BassiNest makes getting out of bed easier which is particularly important for mums healing from birth and C-sections. The mesh sides provide breathability and also enables parents to easily see their baby.
The Premiere is available in a white Pebble fabric with a subtle grey dotted print and features a soothing centre with calming sounds, vibration and night lights.
Sixes Cricket Club boasts the world’s first cricket simulator, and this groundbreaking social entertainment venue in Fulham has opened its doors to exclusively allow kids to play cricket for free, before the venue opens up to wider audiences from May 17th.

Groups can also eat and drink on-site with a menu of British gastro-pub inspired classics on offer. They also have an alfresco dining and drinking area on the terrace that is now open for everyone else.
Sixes will be offering children free cricket until 17th May and parents are asked to make a donation to the Ruth Strauss Foundation. Check out this video for more info.

Kids Bike Trailers has officially launched in the UK following the success of its pilot scheme last summer. The new online sports equipment hire platform, created by parent company Pursue Boundaries, is the UK’s first dedicated online website for kids’ bike trailer and seat hire, designed for families nationwide to enjoy great adventures together.
Offering a range of children’s bike trailers and seats for hire, Kids Bike Trailers seeks to change the family cycling scene by offering parents the opportunity to try out cycling experiences; whether needing a short-term rental for a long weekend, or looking for a season-long rental, the hire period is flexible to the family’s needs. There is even the option to purchase the product after use!
Top-quality bike trailers can be pricey items to purchase outright and there are so many makes and models on the market to choose from. Starting from just £10 for a mounted child seat and £25 for a trailer, Kids Bike Trailers aims to shake up the ‘normal’ purchasing model of these cycling accessories through the sharing economy and new hire approach.

My Expert Midwife is launching a 100% midwife-led national antenatal course to help expecting mums and dads on their journey into parenthood. In the current climate, the classes will be taught online, with face-to-face classes to be introduced across the UK when Covid-19 restrictions allow.
Unlike midwifery, which is a highly regulated profession, antenatal classes are not regulated. This has inspired Lesley Gilchrist, a registered midwife and founder of My Expert Midwife, to launch the brand’s own evidence-based classes taught exclusively by registered midwives – experts in every area of maternity care, with unparalleled knowledge and experience.
From bump to baby, the antenatal classes will prepare expecting parents in the best way possible for the reality of labour, birth and parenting. The “anti-fluff” course material is all evidence-based, and both practical and fun, educating parents while replacing anxiety about the unknown of childbirth with excitement and anticipation.
