As you all
know I love to travel and so am always interested in items that make getting
out and about that little bit easier. When the guys
at Snugglebundl released their baby lifting blanket I was a little
sceptical as to what this could actually do to help travelling parents with
babies. I am a touchy feely person and so the idea of moving my baby from one
place to another without a quick cuddle in between was a little alien, but I
have to say that I think in certain situations this blanket could be brilliant!
The
primary use for this ‘hammock like’ blanket is for those who suffer
with bad backs or any other weakness aggravated by lifting: it allows you
to lift up, and lay down baby without bending or stopping. So if you have had a
difficult birth and need a little recovery time
the Snugglebundl means you can be a little more
independent. It has been safety tested and gets the thumbs up from
chiropractors and midwives too and grandparents and elderly carers like it
for is ease of use and safety element.
There are
lots of travel systems on the market now that allow you to move baby in his car
seat while asleep but the best position a baby can sleep is flat – using this
blanket means you can transfer baby into a flat position without waking him–
priceless at times! Actually it’s great for transferring him from car seat
to pushchair, to shopping trolley, to floor, to cot...
The big
question, would you use the Snugglebundl when on holiday? Well...
Obviously
it would be a great help when transferring from once place to another as
explained above. It would also certainly be a bonus on a flight,
especially if you have a cot on the plane and there is unexpected turbulence
which means you have to get baby on your lap. This could help keep him asleep
transferring from cot to lap and vice versa, a godsend on long haul
flights. So yes a neat little travel blanket and it would be great if
they designed a lightweight version for hot climates too...
