Keeping kids safe with Dreambaby® | review + giveaway

One of my biggest fears as a parent is that bub will hurt herself. You could say I'm a relatively anxious parent so one of the first things I did when bub was due was baby proof the house. There's so many everyday items around the house that suddenly pose a safety risk once small children enter the home. All the obvious areas were done before she could move. Cabinets had safety locks, all the tables and hard corners had safety corners and the baby gates were up.

The one area that people sometimes forget about until after birth is baby and toddler health related safety items. I never even considered bathroom safety until she got big enough to go in the bath. I'm sure lots of other parents are in the same boat. Recently Dreambaby® sent me a few of their health related safety items to trial and share with you {and there's a giveaway for you guys too}. We've tested them for the last few weeks and here's what we think {well what I think because bub can't talk properly yet}.

Premium nail clippers with magnifier

The Dreambaby® nail clippers {RRP $5.95} are perfect for use on babies and toddlers. They have a child size clipper section, but adult sized ergonomically shaped {and soft touch} handles. The fold away magnifying glass is easily flipped up and sits just above the clippers when in use. It certainly helps to make tiny little nails easier to see and it doesn't get in the way of the handles while clipping. Bub sits still for longer when I'm using the magnifying clippers because she's mesmerised by the magnifying glass so its win/win. You can also fold it away and still use the nail clippers without it for when the kids are older and its no longer needed.

Bath tub spout cover

The Dreambaby® bath tub spout cover {RRP $6.95} is a fully inflatable spout cover and its easy to blow up {even if you're a desperately unfit asthmatic like me}. The cover provides a soft cushion incase bub slips and knocks into the spout. It also stops her from being able to burn herself on the hot spout while the bath is filling up. Bub loves the whale print and it also comes in a fish print.

We have a relatively short and slightly curved spout so I was a bit worried it wouldn't fit properly, but it fits perfectly. The length is spot on for our spout and because the spout cover is so thick is covers the curve fine. The opening for the water at the bottom is also quite generous so it should cater for most spout types. Its definitely a worthwhile investment once your bub transfers to using the big bath.

Soft Potty Seat

We started toilet training a few weeks ago with a slowly and softly approach. So far its going a lot slower than I'd like, but I'm following her lead. It seems she's gone off the potty and only wants to sit on it every other day now instead of everyday so it'll probably be a long road before she's properly toilet trained.

Nevertheless we'll eventually get to the point where she'll start using the toilet and when she does we've got the Dreambaby® soft potty seat {RRP $13.95} to help with the transition. I remember when I was little I was scared I'd fall down the toilet so I always intended on getting her some sort of seat for the toilet so she doesn't think she's going to fall in. This seat is great because it has a foam ring for comfort and it also pops out making it easy to clean. There's also a splash guard at the front to minimise mess {which I'm sure would be very useful for mums with little boys}. The seat fits onto our toilet, but it does move around slightly, however I don't think it would if it had her weight on it. We'll find out soon enough.
