Teatime's A Treat With The Cosatto Noodle Highchair

I've already mentioned on my blog that I was picked to be a Cosatto Brand Buddy which means Tiny Ched and I have the honour of bringing you our reviews of some Cosatto goodies over the next 6 months.

Our first product arrived last week. We were very excited!

The Cosatto Noodle highchair couldn't have arrived at a better time as TC turned 6 months a couple of weeks ago. We couldn't wait to set it up and give it a test run. It took me just under 20 minutes to set up the highchair from it's box to TC being sat in it which was great.

The gorgeous Tiddely-Om-Pom-Pom design

We were sent the Tiddely-Om-Pom-Pom design which is just gorgeous. It really brings a huge spark of colour to our kitchen and Matt and I loved it straight away. The red and white stripes of the seat pad are a real treat. They are also lovely and padded which means TC is extremely comfortable. The 5-point safety harness is in blue which stands out from the seat and looks great. For me, the seat pad is easy to remove which makes cleaning a breeze but the wipe clean fabric is superb so you don't really need to remove it.

As soon as I sat him in it I could instantly see that the whole seating position was much more supportive than our previous highchair. The seat is really secure and the plastic support between the legs means no more baby slipping down. Also, the seat is adjustable to 6 positions which means whatever height you prefer, the chair can be adjusted to suit. There is also a 3-position seat recline so if TC nods off at the table we can tilt him back for a snooze.

I'm baby-led weaning (a whole new experience for me) and the highchair it also prefect for this as the 2 trays can be completely removed so TC can join us at the table for family mealtimes which is great.

TC the Toast Monster. Tiddely Om 'Nom Nom' :)

The Noodle highchair is one of the lower priced highchairs that Cosatto make - I actually found one for £65 online* - but it's certainly not low quality. It also comes in 4 fabulously funky designs!

You know what I love most about Cosatto products? They all come with a FREE 4 year guarantee** That's just how confident the company is. So when you buy you have peace of mind that you are making a good purchase.

Let's face it...weaning can be a nightmare. It can also be great fun too so what better way than to get a great start to weaning than the fabulous Cosatto Noodle highchair.

It definitely gets the thumbs up in this house!

#ONEMums - The Power Of Blogging

There are lots of things I love about blogging.

It's given me the opportunity to make some fabulous new friends but one of the things I love the most is being able to use my voice to blog for charity. It's been a while since I've blogged about charity - since just before TC was born. Babies eh?

I'm currently on 'maternity leave' from my volunteer job at my local Save The Children shop which I love. I'll be popping in to see my friends there on Friday with some goodies and I'll be able to provide you with an update on things very soon.

For now though, a very dear blogger friend is currently over in Ethiopia as part of the ONE Campaign. Michelle from Mummy From The Heart has made the trip with 11 other inspirational mums and moms to highlight the success of projects and why it's so important that the support is continued. This is ONE's Living Proof story. It's all about letting everyone know what a huge difference that the UK and the US are making to millions of people all over the world.

Please, please, PLEASE pop along to Michelle's blog and follow her incredible journey. She is blogging the most fabulous audio clips of her journey. She is one incredible lady.

To help spread the word in the blogging community, another blogger friend Clare, from Seasider In The City, has devised a fun meme. Taking the first letters from ONEMums (or ONEMoms) create words or phrases that help explain what being a mum is to you.

Here are mine...

Overwhelming love and emotion

Nights out are few and far between (but I wouldn't have it any other way)

Everything I ever hoped it would be...and more

Memories to treasure forever

Unique. Both the experience and my children

Milk monster. My poor boobs will never be the same again!

Simply amazing

Please make sure you follow Michelle's journey on Twitter. You can do this by following her twitter feed or using the hashtags #ONEMums #ONEMoms.

A Much Needed Brew

Before I start, I just wanted to point out that I haven't been asked to write this post. I just wanted to share our experience and let you know some exciting news.

So, things have been up and down lately and I haven't been socialising much. Thankfully the lovely people at Cosatto have helped lift my spirits.

As well as winning Best Baby Blog at The MAD Blog Awards on Friday (have I mentioned that? *cough*) I was invited to be part of The Great Cosatto Cuppa last Wednesday.

The Great Cosatto Cuppa is where they open the doors to their fabulous world of baby brights. They supply the brews and cakes and you get to see their amazing products and talk to the lovely team. It's open to anyone, you just have to keep an eye on the Cosatto Facebook page (they host them every couple of months I believe) and express an interest. They love getting direct feedback from mums and dads and working with parents to improve their products.

We were lucky enough to be asked along as, earlier in the week, I'd heard that Tiny Ched and I had been chosen to be Brand Buddies for Cosatto. I'm totally thrilled about it. I've already blogged about my new love of the Swift Lite Supa Pushchair which TC is loving and I keep getting people commenting on how fabulous it looks! "It is" I tell them enthusiastically. So I'm really happy to be able to share lots of Cosatto goodness with you.

Anyway, I digress.

As usual *slap*

Where was I?

Oh yes. The Great Cosatto Cuppa!

Last Wednesday, if you remember, the weather was pretty vile. What is it with all this rain? Seriously, the weatherman are having a laugh! So, with MC safely at school, TC and I ran to my car - hey, I had my hair to protect from the rain! - and headed off on what should have been roughly a 40 minute drive up to the Cosatto offices in Bolton.

Anyone fancy a cuppa?

An hour and a half later we arrived. The M56 and M62 were not kind to us at all. The offices were on an industrial estate and I parked up and ran jogged lightly - yes, it had rained the whole journey. However, as soon as the doors to their showroom opened I was immediately transported into a world away from the dreariness of outside.

The whole place was bursting with colour! It was amazing how much it lifted my stressed out mood. TC and I were very happy and it wasn't just because we had spotted the amazing 'Cosatto' cakes in the corner.

The team couldn't do enough for us. They kept us fed and watered and it was lovely to meet and chat with other mums and their babies and toddlers.

A world of baby brights

We were given a complete tour of the new Giggle Travel System which is awesome. It has such a compact fold for a travel system - I was seriously impressed. We also got shown a forthcoming highchair which was superb. TC even got to be chief product tester! It was really interesting to hear from Andrew, the CEO, who explained how these meet ups help the team immensely and that his children are now grown up so it's great to have customers help shape the future of the products.

I was really made to feel like part of the Cosatto family. They are such a lovely team of people and you can see the passion they have for their products. Also, I'd LOVE to work in their offices. They have THE biggest (and fastest) slide inside their building. Imagine being able to slide down to a meeting?

I was also crowned a Brand Buddy whilst I was there. I'm not joking either, I got a 'Brand Buddy' crown!  So, I'll be bringing you my opinions on some fab Cosatto products over the next 6 months. Just watch this space!

In the meantime, if you fancy helping Cosatto in their bid to end the world of boring baby stuff then head over to Facebook.  Just like the Cosatto page to keep up-to-date with the next Great Cosatto Cuppa - you never know, the big magic teapot could choose you!

This little man sure had fun!
