If there’s one thing I’ve learned since having children, it’s that you can never have too many hands. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to discover where to buy the extra pair, so anything that makes life even a little bit easier gets a very big thumbs up from me.

BabyBjörn has been making life with little ones that bit easier since 1961 and is probably best known for its brilliant baby carriers. The Pocket Pouch for baby carriers was launched in Autumn 2024 and it’s such a simple idea but solves the age old parenting niggle – where do you put your essentials when you’re not going far and don’t want to carry a big baby bag?

The BabyBjörn Pocket Pouch is designed to fit all BabyBjörn baby carriers and is the perfect place to keep those little essentials you need close at hand. It has two handy straps on the back with press-stud fastenings, making it quick and easy to clip onto the baby carrier belt and remove when you need to.

It’s also small enough to pop straight into your baby bag, so you can keep everything together and simply grab the pouch, clip it onto the carrier and off you go. No more transferring all those little essentials from one bag to another every time you head out. One less thing to remember, which when you’ve got a baby, is always a win!

The pouch is surprisingly spacious inside and easily fits  a phone, keys, tissues and snacks. The zip is easy to open and close, which is particularly useful when you’re trying to retrieve something one-handed while holding a baby. It’s made to sit nicely on the waist stap of the baby carrier so everything stays neatly tucked away but, importantly, still within easy reach. And when you’re out with a baby, having the thing you need exactly when you need it can feel like a minor parenting miracle.

BabyBjörn has also thought carefully about the fabric. The pouch is made using the safe fabrics developed by BabyBjörn, with the company developing most of its own textiles in-house. This means they can keep a close eye on quality and make sure the fabrics have the properties needed for products designed to be used around little ones.

The pouch is easy to clean too, it can be machine washed at 40°C on a gentle cycle and dries quickly. Just don’t put it in the tumble dryer or iron it.

Small yet incredibly practical, the BabyBjörn Pocket Pouch is one of those accessories that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.

The Pocket Pouch is available in four neutral colours, Light Beige, Grey, Light Grey and Black and has a RRP of £19.90.

Pabobo Mimi Bunny Musical Stars Projector

If you are looking for a gift for baby’s first Easter then the Mimi Bunny Musical Stars Projector from Pabobo is the perfect choice. As well as being super cute, Mimi Bunny is a great addition to nap or bedtime as she not only plays a gentle lullaby but lie her on her back and she projects a pretty starry sky onto the ceiling which babies and toddlers love to watch, it certainly had the desired effect with our mini reviewer who nodded off in no time at all!

Mimi Bunny can either be set to a single colour of star or can cycle through the 3 colours (green, blue and orange). The light display is quite impressive and certainly captured our mini reviewer’s attention. As well as the light display there is a lullaby button with two different volumes to choose from. The stars and lullaby don’t have to be played together, you can choose projections or lullaby or both together. The lights and sound turn off automatically after 22 minutes which is really handy when settling a baby or toddler as you don’t want to go back in the room and risk waking them!

Mimi Bunny is lovely and soft and perfect for cuddling, close up the lights are more of a soothing glow than a bright light which allows a child to still fall asleep whilst cuddling the bunny. Don’t worry about it getting grubby you can easily remove the projector part and the plush toy can be put in the washing machine on a gentle cycle at 30°.

As Mimi Bunny is the size of a standard cuddly toy she can easily be taken on holiday or when visiting family or friends this Easter, enabling you to keep your bedtime routine even when away from home.

The projector does require 3 x AA batteries which aren’t included.

RRP £36 available from Matalan
