Coveting Stokke at The Baby Show Olympia 2014

For the last few weeks I have been blogging for The Baby Show.

I have been so excited writing posts for The Baby Show Blog and my own.

I am hoping that Bea and I will continue to represent the show as it moves to Excel in February and on to the NEC in May.

We had a lovely day at the show on Friday.

It is no secret at all that I adore The Baby Show.

This time I felt that even though I was busy all day I did not get to see nearly as much as I wanted to.

I have decided that for Excel I am going to stay overnight with Bea so that we can make the most of the show and the travelling will not be so stressful.

Though I have to say actually our journey was not too bad. With the help of Ami, from Beebies Baby Store, we got the train straight to Charing Cross and then cabs from the station to the show.

We arrived nice and early at the show and was able to feed and change Bea in the press room.

It was here that Bea and I fell in love the Stokke Care. Bea liked it so much I think we totalled 8 nappy changes throughout the day!

The Stokke Care is a high quality and high in height baby change unit. I did not have to bend over at all to be able to easily change Bea and chat to her while doing so. This close interaction is enabled by the high unit and the carefully left space for feet at the bottom, allowing you to stand in really close.

Bea was happy to lie on the change mat, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling. Need to get me one of those!

The Stokke Care is designed so that you are facing baby as you change her and not standing side on.

I have admired the Stokke Care from afar for a long time but have not used one before, and I am glad to say that seeing it up close and testing it out so very many times (!) it did not disappoint.

I love the high side bars meaning that Bea was safe as she attempted to roll.

And I adore the way in which the Care, as with all Stokke furniture, grows with the child. This is a real investment piece that over time can be used by all the family before being handed down for the next generation.

We visited the Stokke stand at the show to say hello to our friend Lisa. Bea enjoyed a cuddle while I looked at the Stokke Trailz.

If like me you live in a tiny village surrounded by fields and hills with all local walks involving tractor tracks and muddy footpaths. This is the pram for you.

If like me you enjoy walking across the Downs or other countryside in all weathers. This is the pram for you.

If you enjoy walks by the sea and want to take your pram across the sand. This is the one for you.

This is not a city dweller. The Stokke Trailz is built for the great outdoors. I have finally found a pram I think my husband might get excited about.

Those wheels! That suspension! The promise of adventures to come!

This started off as a general post about The Baby Show but I ended up gushing about Stokke instead.

I have a history of doing this!

My apologies my round up of The Baby Show is still to come

Very soon!

I am the official blogger for The Baby Show but I have not been paid by them or by Stokke for writing this post.
