Outdoor Play Equipment

Review: Chicco Pink Arrow Balance Bike

Chicco Pink Arrow Balance Bike

Lydia and Georgie both love playing outside, and really enjoy different play equipment like bikes, trikes and scooters. Both of them play with this kind of equipment at their schools, and I knew that Lydia would enjoy having her very own bike at home. Her favourite colour is pink (my girly girl!), so this Chicco Pink Arrow bike is perfect for her.

Review: Toddlebike

We received the Neon Toddlebike to review just before Christmas, and the bright colours are perfect for fun loving Lydia. She is coming up to her 2nd birthday at the end of this month, and she absolutely adores this Toddlebike.

Review: Micro Balance Bike

We were sent this balance bike to review a few months ago and Georgie has been using it on trips to the park ever since. We did have a gap of about 4 weeks after she took a few bad spills and got upset, and didn’t want to get back on it for a little while. She has learnt now though that when she falls off she can just pick herself pack up again and get on with it!

Review: Smart Trike 4-in-1 Dream

Smart Trike 4-in-1 Dream

We have been invited to take part in the “I’m a little smarTriker” challenge by BumpPR, and were sent a 4-in-1 Dream Smart Trike for Lydia to test out and participate in the challenges. We were already fans of Smart Trikes, as Georgie was given one for her 1st birthday back in 2012, and she has always really enjoyed it… and it’s not hard to see why.

Review: Micro Scooters – 3 in 1 Mini Micro & White Micro

Scooting is really popular at the moment, and you see Micro Scooters everywhere you look on a sunny day at the park. Without a doubt, this is the brand to have, and having been trying these out for the past month, it’s not hard to see why.

We were sent a toddler “3-in-1” scooter and an adult scooter to test – so that Georgie and I could scoot together. We have been having great fun!

Rating: (4/5 stars)

Review: When the team over at Garden Games offered to send Georgie a see saw to review, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! Georgie adores playing outdoors and I had high expectations following the high quality and instant success of the princess play tent we previously reviewed for them (which is still a big favourite a year later by the way!).

Georgie was very excited about the big box!

Once the order was put in, the see saw arrived quickly and Georgie was very excited to find out what was inside!

Rating: (4/5 stars)

Review: As promised by the manufacturer this play tent was easy to construct and could easily be done by one person – in fact Georgie and I cuddled on the chair in the nursery while we watched my husband do the labour! We were impressed by the quality of the materials – it is made from solid wood poles connected with strong plastic connectors which all slot together to make a strong frame for the tent.
