Bibabath from the Netherlands offers the unique possibility to transform your shower into a full bath for children. For children up to 7 years old, Bibabath is a wonderful alternative to a bath tub. Bibabath can be set up in almost every type of shower, is easy to install, easy to fill and empty, easy to store and can also be taken on holiday. At this moment Bibabath is only being sold in Europe, but send them an email if you desperately want to have one!

To bath
Kee-Ka babytalk?
Kee-Ka from Brooklyn began as a handmade greeting card company. They decided to print their designs on t-shirts which was an enormous success in New York City. Now they offer a full range t-shirts, onesies, pants, bibs and bath towels. All Kee-Ka clothes are packaged in little brown boxes that are self-sealable and ready to mail. Normally I am not too keen on clothes with text, but texts like 'this side up' and 'handle with care' make me laugh. You can order online or find a retailer in one of the 13 countries they sell.
Dwellbaby and Dwellkids
Dwellbaby is probably known by most of you. Unfortunately it is hard to find Dwell in Europe and Asia. Dwellbaby was launched as a separate brand in 2002. It started with crib bedding and the line now includes stuffed animals, bibs, towels, and stroller accessories. 
Of course I admire the patterns and colors but what mostly impressed me is the softness of the material. When I first felt the hooded towels, I could not believe how soft it was. You can shop online or go to the store locator.
Babywrappers
My last post this week and my last post from Canada because we will be on the plane on Friday to Holland where we will spend a few weeks. Thereafter we will move to our new destination: Frankfurt, Germany.
To celebrate the wonderful 3 years we spent in Toronto, a Canadian product today: The innovative Babywrappers.
A great invention for all moms having troubles getting your baby out of the bathtub without getting wet yourself. Babywrappers come in all kinds of colors and fabrics with matching face clothes. You can buy them online (US and Canada) and it is easy to send as a gift (wrapped and with personal card). A great baby shower gift!
...I can not wait until I am in the plane and will see my family again! See you next week, Petra!
Longing for summer and ...
Longing for summer and the 70's. Do you remember those days as a child, being all day at beach and wearing toweling. I do and so does Mitty James. Because she was unable to find anything like it, she started her own range, so her children could continue this tradition. I found Mitty James from the UK via Dutch mommy blog Moeders.
I especially like the beach- and swimwear collection showcasing simple pleasures and good old-fashioned fun (even in grown-up sizes!). For those amongst you who like the kind of 'British boarding school" style, you should also have a look at the daywear section. All clothes can be purchased online.
Kikebu is Peek-a-boo
Sonia from Kikebu sent me an email and it immediately draw my attention because it said “hi from a Spanish mom in Amsterdam”. Sonia is living with her Dutch husband & two kids in Amsterdam and started up this new venture. Kikebu offers a fresh and original range baby towels, bibs, burp clothes, blankets, changing pads and more. They constantly use new fabrics and make a limited number of items per model. Sonia is already selling in a few shops in Spain and all her items can be bought online.
Esta for Kids
I love bathrobes, and especially for children. It is probably because it is part of our weekend routine. As soon as we put on ours, our son (almost 2 years) wants to wear his bathrobe and he knows we will go downstairs to enjoy breakfast. All Esta for Kids products are grouped around themes. The bathroom textiles above are part of the Zazoo collection. The other collections are Long island, Cars & Kangaroos and Keek-a-boo, all available in different color settings. With their extensive product line, it becomes very easy to decorate your kid's room with matching wallpaper, curtains, bed linen and other accessories. Most Esta for Kids products can be bought at Wooll, a great Dutch online store. For other countries, visit their website and go to “sales”.
