Check out the wanderer, highchair and play pen/porta cot

Wanderer 3 wheel stroller

This stroller is - Value for money!!

In my active family, 3 wheels are a must; this stroller handles very well due to the all terrain tyres and rear wheel suspension. Being a race driver I like to test things so I took the wanderer testing at the 3.87km dirt track around the tan in Melbourne and at the V8 Supercar race track, I was impressed when maneuvering the bitumen steps, hills and pit lane foot traffic. I found it easy to make quick turns, move up and down footpaths without jolting my child’s body across bumpy surfaces, getting through dirt paths, puddles and even wet grass without putting my back out. Hitting an Apex with this stroller is not an issue! The foot brake is easy to use and the extra large basket is a bonus, holding lots of shopping or if I am lucky a big trophy after winning at the race track.

The mesh section in the canopy is great to peek in on a sleeping child or let some sunlight in without exposing the child to weather. I liked the easy to use lever on the back of the seat to adjust from laying to sitting upright. The seat can also face forward or backwards depending on what your child likes.

The Rain cover is perfect for Melbourne winter and if we ever have another baby it would be a bonus to use an infant carrier on the wanderer stroller.

Lumbar Highchair

The best feature of this highchair is the lumbar adjustment, which means there are no gaps between the baby and the tray so that you actually know what food has gone in to your child’s mouth and what hasn’t.  The seat is no longer a food stashing spot in my house! It is easy to wipe over daily and the two piece tray can go in the dishwasher, so you wont be fighting over who gets to clean this highchair.  Although this high chair is easy to fold with the press of a button, we choose to leave it in our kitchen since we use it 3 times a day and we love the fashionable stripe design, it is modern and has become a piece of furniture in our home.  Adjusting the height is a great feature, whether at the kitchen bench, dining table or coffee table, our child can eat at the same level as us.

Play Pen

When travelling as a v8supercar family we don’t have much room to take all our large toys. My boys love to throw balls and pillows in to the play pen and jump in, it is so spacious that they choose to play in it for fun, I think it is really clever as it makes a friendly environment for sleep when travelling and using it as a portable cot. My next question is when are we making one for adults?
