My Baba Measure: What’s Hot

Will You Walk To School This Walk To School Week With Start-Rite Shoes?

Did you know that May is national walking month and 16th-20th May is Walk to School Week! Sadly, according to the National Travel Survey the number of children walking to school is declining, so we have joined up with Start-Rite Shoes to help inspire more families to give it a go.

We understand that many children are unable to walk to school, perhaps due to distance or the safety of the roads around the school. If this is your situation, can you park up a little further from the school gate than usual and walk the last few minutes? We are sure you will feel great for doing it!

Start-Rite would love to see your walk to school and they’re giving away three pairs of school shoes to three lucky winners. To enter, they’re asking you to head to Instagram and tag @startite_shoes and @mybabgram in your ‘walk to school’ journey by using the hashtag #walktoschoolwithstartrite.

This ethos is thoughtfully woven into every timeless design, promising to offer a wonderful world of discovery, and imaginative play.

Sustainable cleaning range, Homethings

UK-based start-up Homethings is on a mission to create powerful, planet-positive products that make sense.

Did you know, that a typical cleaning spray is 95% water packaged in a plastic bottle? And we’re using billions of them to clean our homes. Even the ‘eco’ brands are selling us single-use plastic sprays and dishwasher tabs wrapped in plastic. Where’s the method in that madness?

Homethings’ products are free from water so they’re compact and light to ship, they’re vegan, single-use-plastic free, and cruelty-free, providing you and your family with a non-toxic solution that’s safe for pets, kids and much better for the planet.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
