Looking Cool with the Britax B Dual

February 9th, 2011

Cool mums – fashion tips for pregnant women

 

 To order the new 2011 Britax B dual visit www.itsababy.co.uk or call the show room on 0844 822 3965

Just because you have a baby on board is no reason to forget about fashion — looking chic and stylish whilst pregnant is simply a case of learning to dress differently, making sure you always flatter your ever changing shape.

Thinking about your wardrobe with this in mind can also mean rediscovering old items by approaching them differently and might save you a bit of cash and a few trips to the high street to buy maternity-specific clothing.

Some key styles to keep an eye out for are:

  • Empire-line cut – this will cinch in the area just below the bustline and provide a flattering silhouette with material grazing over the baby bump. If you don’t have this style in your current wardrobe then floaty tops and dresses can be adapted to an empire line by pulling in the material below the bustline with a ribbon or belt.

 

  • Soft draping fabrics – clothing in this style will define the body shape and also looks really pretty. Skirts and dresses with plenty of swing in them and tops with fabric that falls from on or under the bustline and finish at the hips or beyond work perfectly.

 

  • Block-colours – simple single-block colours rather than busy prints and crazy colours streamline your figure making it look taller and leaner. Buying new items of clothing or re-organising your wardrobe with this in mind also means everything goes together and can be reworked with different pieces, creating different outfits and looks quickly and easily.

 

  • You can keep wearing your regular jeans and trousers for longer with the help of a Belly Belt – a piece of fabric that fastens to your button or clasp and lets the waistband of your bottoms grow with your bump

Britax High Back Booster Campaign

August 11th, 2010

You should take full advantage of this very worthy campaign from Britax.

We are able to offer 1/2 price Britax Adventure car seat thoughout August and while stocks last. This incredibly generous offer is in support of Britax’s decision to stop manufacturing basic booster seats.

The background to this ethical decision is all about safety. Whilst it is possible to comply with the law by using a highback booster for children who weigh over 15kg (approximately 4 years old), you are not protecting their bodies or their head from any side impact in the event of a collision.

You only have to take a look at the crash test dummie picture below to see the difference. If you take a look at the video that accompanies this it is actually frightening to see what happens to the dummy on the basic booster seat.

If your child is ready for the next stage car seat do not hesitate, take full advantage of this half price offer and for just £29.99 you can offer your child so much more protection.

This link will take you straight to the itsababy online store – http://www.itsababy.co.uk/car-seats/group-2-3

Looking for a child booster seat. Don’t buy one

July 30th, 2010

Are you looking for a booster seat for your child. Did you know that Britax have now stopped manufacturing their booster seat .

While backless booster seats are better than nothing, they don’t provide enough protection your child with enough protection.

Is your child safe in your car?

Cars are made for adults but its the car seat that protects your child in the event of an accident. Unrestrained children run seven times the risk of serious injury or death compared to children who are properly secured in a child car seat. A child car seat offers something children are entitled to – protection of their lives and safe travel at all times!

Over the last few years, awareness of parental responsibility over such matters has become increasingly widespread however, the best possible protection is only provided if the right safety system is chosen, all regulations and instructions for fitting the child car seats are properly complied with and the child itself is fastened into the seat correctly. Unfortunately 89% of child car seats are fitted incorrectly and this carelessness can have serious consequences.

The Legal Regulations

Since May 2006, it is compulsory to use safety belts and child restraint systems in all vehicles in Europe (Directive 2003/20/EC) and in the UK it is mandatory to use child car seats for children up to the height of 1.35m ( 4ft, 4 )or the age of 12.

Choosing the right system for each age group

European experts have established six groups for child restraint systems, which are defined according to the child’s weight:

  • Group 0 for babies weighing up to 10kg (about 9 months)
  • Group 0+ for babies weighing up to 13kg (about 15 months) – Rearward-facing systems must not be used on passenger seats with an active airbag.
  • Group 1 for small children weighing 9 to 18kg (from about 9 months to 4 years of age)
  • Group 2-3 for older children weighing 15 to 36kg (from about 4 to 11 years of age)
  • Group 0+&1 for babies and small  children weighing up to 18kg (about 4 years of age)
  • Group 1-2-3 for small children and older children – 9 to 36kg (from about 9 months to 11 years of age)

Booster seats

A basic booster seat falls within the group 2-3 category and enables you to comply with the law, they are extremely cheap to pick up however they offer very little protection for your child compared to a high back boosters seat and it is common for children to fall off their booster seat when turning corners. With a full high back booster seat you are providing your child with side impact protection, head protection and a mechanism that positions the seat belt correct around their body. 1 in 4 accidents are side collisions and side collisions put children at specific risk as they account for 1 in 5 car crash fatalities.

 In support of high back booster seats we are running a promotion through to the end of August and all It’s a Baby customers can purchase a Britax Advernture car seat at 50% off – follow this link: http://www.itsababy.co.uk/car-seats/group-2-3

Its a Baby have the Britax B Smart In stock ready for Next day delivery.

March 25th, 2010

 

Many parents have been anxiously waiting for the B Smarts to arrive in the UK, the wait seemed to be endless.  

But it now seems to be over.  All of our pre ordered B smarts have arrived in store, and i have to say that im impressed with the new features. 

 

The Vigour as it was previously called was well designed and was a firm favourite with mums on the school run with its light aluminium chassis frame and easy to use  components that  just click together smoothly.  The B smart offers all of these improved features but seems to be even smoother – The brake has been altered to an easy to use one touch foot mechanism,  no more stiff brake levers ! The tyres are still puncture resistant giving you the maximum versatility where ever you go.  The folding mechanism has changed slightly making it even quicker and easier to collapse the chassis.  

One of my favourite features is the well thought out hood extension which gives baby extra ventilation or extra protection from the sun for those lazy afternoons sat out in the garden. 

Call the store for more information 0161 763 4463 or go straight to our website to purchase the B smart NOW.
