<p>The Phil n’ Teds Sport buggy is manufactured and designed by Phil n’ Teds of New Zealand and provides innovative design and functionality with eye catching appeal, once seen never forgotten that’s why so many mums and dads and celebrity couples can be seen pushing a Phil and Teds.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Designed to conquer almost any terrain, which is why the Phil and Teds <strong><a target="_blank" title="Baby PushChair" target="_self" rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.just4baby.co.uk/acatalog/Pushchairs.html">Sport pushchair</a></strong> is considered to be an all terrain 3 wheel buggy, with key features as pneumatic tyres allowing your child a smooth comfortable ride whatever the terrain and the deep, 5 point harness, reclining seat enabling the Sport to cater for children up to 25kg. (5 years approx). Probably the key feature of any Phil and Teds is it’s unique design which allows a second seat to be fitted allowing the Sport pushchair to carry two children and can be easily converted to a single pushchair again and is still light and easy to manoeuvre.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p><a target="_blank" title="Britax Duo Plus Isofix Car Seats" target="_self" rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.just4baby.co.uk/acatalog/Britax_Duo_Plus_IsoFix_Child_Car_Seat.html"><strong>Britax Duo Plus Isofix Car Seats</strong></a></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Britax Duo Plus Isofix car seat is one of the very few car seats in this category recommended by the Which magazine. Manufactured by Britax the Duo Plus major benefits are very solid construction yet still remaining very comfortable with good side support for the childs head and neck.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The ISOFIX fitting allows the car seat to be easily, quickly and securely fitted time after time with minimum amount of effort and eliminating the need to secure the child car seat by way of the seat belt by using the ISOFIX mounting points to directly anchor the car seat to the car.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Another unique safety point is Britax’s pivot link system which further reduces the forward movement of the child in the car seat in the case of an accident.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin: 0 20px 10px 0;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2311/2292958692_ab43a569f7_m.jpg" width="160" /><br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Many pregnant moms and soon to be dads are excited when they find out the gender of their baby when their little one is born. Waiting until your child is born to find out the gender seems to be extremely popular now a days. What's more popular is decorating your nursery in a gender neutral theme. There are many colors, patterns, themes and pictures to accentuate a gender neutral nursery. Choosing the right decor can be exciting but also a little overwhelming if you don't know where to start.</p>
<p>When beginning to decorate your nursery the first big decision to make is what color to paint the walls. It's easy to paint if you know the sex of your baby. Pink, lavenders and red tones for girls and blue shades for boys. But when you don't know the sex of your baby, the color palette opens up to include many different colors. Green or sage, chocolate brown, yellow shades, orange shades and even brown shades are all appropriate for a gender neutral nursery. Another option is to keep the walls white and add either a chair rail or pattern on the wall or even wall paper.</p>
<p>Another way to add to your gender neutral nursery is to pick a theme. This could be an animal theme, ocean or sea shell theme or a letter theme. You can pick up these theme related items at your local craft store or department store. When gathering items for a theme, pick objects, pictures and furniture in the theme you choose. This will make your decor have meaning and flow when looking at your gender neutral nursery.</p>
<p>The final decision to make regarding your gender neutral nursery is the furniture style. Do you want a classic nursery or a modern nursery? There are many cribs that come in a modern feel or a classic feel. You can put hardwood to make it more modern or add carpet for a softer look. Trim work shapes the room to be more classic and can be added by doing beadboarding, wainscoting or a chair rail.</p>
<p>Take your time when decorating your nursery and have an idea before you begin purchasing items. Before you know it, your little one will be sleeping away in a fabulous nursery.</p>

&#13;</p>
<p>If you are expecting a new baby, chances are you are looking forward to decorating a room especially for your newborn.  A baby nursery is great fun to plan and decorate and you don’t have to spend a fortune doing it!  Even if you don’t know if you’re having a baby boy or a baby girl, you can come up with the perfect theme and color combination to really dress up an ordinary space into a delightful baby nursery.</p>
<p><strong>Theme.</strong> Begin by selecting your theme.  Many themes are timeless, like the ocean or a jungle or familiar nursery rhymes.  Maybe a children’s character you loved as a child could set the tone.  For boys, trains, trucks, sports and cowboys are popular.  For girls, fairies, princesses and ballerinas are classics.  Gender neutral themes can include tropical fish, sweet birds, bumble bees, farm animals or any of the popular licensed children’s characters.</p>
<p><strong>Paint.</strong>  When you are ready, start by picking a pleasant paint color for all or several of the walls.  Paint is relatively inexpensive and can really add interest to the room.  Remember though that you will have to live with it for several years so don’t pick something too dark or dramatic.  A baby’s nursery should be soothing and something they can grow into.</p>
<p><strong>Decorate.</strong>  Add wallpaper trim borders for interest or vinyl wall decals sprinkled about.  These inexpensive decorating treatments can be found online.  Or, do it yourself!  Using poster board, cut out stenciled shapes and using complementary colors to your background color, stencil designs around the room.  Remember to let the background color dry first though before painting on top of it.</p>
<p>Consider freehand painting if you’re artistically inclined.  If not, copy an image on overhead projector overlays and project them on the wall, painting over the image.  The finished results will look like you illustrated the images yourself and you’ll have fun doing it!  You may even want to repurpose the image on your <a target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.cardsdirect.com/baby-announcements.aspx">Baby Announcements</a>.  Make it a group project with help from friends and family if you want.  On your <a target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.cardsdirect.com/baby-shower-invitations.aspx">Baby Shower Invitations</a>, invite guests to stick around for a painting party.</p>
<p><strong>Furnish.</strong>  Baby furniture can be found at garage sales, thrift stores or online.  The pieces don’t have to match.  Some of the most charming rooms are a collection of mismatched items.  Add a fresh coat of paint if necessary.    Include a rocking chair if you can and a nightlight in the room for middle of the night diaper changes.</p>
<p><strong>Accessorize.</strong>  If you’re a seamstress, sew your own bedding and window treatments.  If not, consider asking a friend or family member to help.  Or, bargain shop and you are sure to find something perfect for your new little one.  The hunt for that something special can be quite fun!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Personalize.</strong>  For an extra special touch, personalize the room with the new baby’s name.  Paint it yourself or order online.  Personalized wall decals are uniquely interesting.  And don’t forget to frame a copy of your <a target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.cardsdirect.com/baby-announcements.aspx">Baby Birth Announcements</a> for a simple wall decoration.</p>
<p>Surf websites for inspiration on baby nursery decorating tips.  You will amaze yourself at how much you can do on your own so get started early as you will be quite busy once your new baby is born!</p>

&#13;</p>
<p>Once the happy day arrives, your nursery is going to receive a great deal of attention from just about everyone you know. There will be people peeking in day and night, and apart from what these people may think it should look like, we have to do everything we can to ensure it feels cozy, satisfying, safe, pleasant, comfortable and relaxing for our new bundle of joy.</p>
<p>Your nursery decoration will involve quite a lot of thought and planning and much of this preparation will occur way before you expect your pride and joy to arrive. It's likely a much better idea to stay with a neutral tone throughout the decor, particularly if you're not aware of the sex just yet. For flexibility's sake it is often best to purchase your nursery bedding and baby accessories in matching sets, as you will certainly want to change as time goes by. As we know, time absolutely flies and we cannot believe how quickly our baby transforms from those first moments.</p>
<p>When you choose the correct color scheme for your baby's nursery, it should not be just a simple question of whether to use a pink or a blue color theme. In this day and age there are an incredible variety of different kinds of decor themes readily available, and sets can be bought in coordinated styles for best results. When you've selected your major items of furniture, such as the bed, changing table, bouncer, dresser and rocker, you will then need to select the bedding and comforters, sheets, curtains and wall decorations.</p>
<p>Usually children respond well to bright primary colors but these can be overwhelming, just when we need to create a calming environment for baby. It is much better to project a more relaxing tone, with the introduction of warm colors to create that feeling of security and comfort. Does your choice of nursery room have a bright aura, with an open environment and a good amount of sunlight, or is it rather the opposite? If you room is naturally darker, you will need to tone up the color of your walls and flooring, whilst if it has lots of natural sunlight you might want to introduce elements to blend this into the overall feeling of the space.</p>
<p>Irrespective of the general color scheme you've selected for your nursery decoration, always make sure that the nursery bedding and the baby accessories complement each other - and if possible, match as well. Bedding themes are available in an almost overwhelming selection of popular cartoon and fictional character themes, as well as wild animal and sports-related. Obviously you won't be able to make any choices until you're sure whether you're going to have a boy or a girl...</p>
<p>When you have selected your overall color scheme and have decided upon your nursery bedding and accessories set, you can stand back and take a good look at the finished result before deciding if you want to add some neat accents to finish the job off well. Be proud of your work. Nothing can be more important than creating a perfect environment for our most precious new arrival!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While creating and designing a baby boyâs nursery can be fun, it can also be very difficult. It involves a lot of decisions to be made, such as what colors to paint the walls and what type of furniture and decorations would go best. And though sometimes it may seem like there is more flexibility when it comes to decorating a girlâs room then there is for a boyâs room, youâll soon see thatâs not the case. Take a look at the decorating ideas outlined below and youâll see that there are many accessories and themes available in order to decorate and design a wonderful nursery for your new baby boy!</p>
<p>Before you start, remember to take a look at the overall character of your home so that your new babyâs room wonât be out of place. For example, if your home is more traditional, choose accessories and colors to match. Or, if your home is modern in style, also make your babyâs room modern. And remember, regardless of which route you go, every nursery will need the basics, which includes a crib, a dresser or clothing cabinet, changing table, and toys and stuffed animals to really make the new room feel like the place for a child. Once you have these basics, you can move on to the task of finding decorations.</p>
<p>This may sound complicated, but itâs really not. We will show you how to create a truly âdynamicâ room with only a few accessories and some creativity on your part. Weâll keep things general so that you can adapt these tips into any theme youâd like. Some good ones would be a space theme, a sports theme, a car theme, or a cowboy theme, but you can use your imagination!</p>
<p>&lt;b&gt;Starting with the Basics &lt;/b&gt;</p>
<p>First, you need to choose the colors and the furniture for your new nursery. For a boyâs room, darker colors are usually very appropriate. For example, you could use darker green for a sports theme, or golden-brown for a cowboy theme, or dark blue for a space theme. And because youâre going to use darker colors for the walls, you should keep the furniture a lighter color, and one that will be complimentary. For example, white furniture would go great with blue or green walls, and birch would be a great choice for a cowboy theme.</p>
<p>So, once the colors of the room is chosen, choosing furniture becomes very easy. In fact, you can make it even easier by finding a furniture set that includes a crib, a dresser, and possibly a small table. Buying several pieces together, besides automatically matching, can also save you money. When youâre looking at sets, if you canât find a matching changing table donât worry. Most dresserâs can also easily double as a changing table if you put a changing pad on top. Just make sure the dresser is deep enough and stable enough to hold your childâs weight without any danger. And this will save on space. Of course, if space is not an issue you can add some fun kidâs furniture as well, such as a little table and chair set or a baby armchair. This will really make it obvious that this is a room for your new little person! Another option is to fill you extra space with a loveseat, which will give you a place to sit and hold your child if they are fussing.</p>
<p>&lt;b&gt;Decorating and Adding Accessories&lt;/b&gt;</p>
<p>Once youâve got the basics, itâs time to move on. Add some storage space with small containers, mounted shelves, and storage boxes. Then get stuffed animals, toys and wall paintings, or wall stick ons.</p>
<p>A small storage shelf is a great way to make sure you have everything you need nearby. Place it above or next to the changing table to store toys, teddy bears, and essential baby items like pacifiers, diaper-rash cream, diapers, etc.Â  You can do the same with storage boxes.</p>
<p>Now that weâre done with the practical, letâs move onto the fun involved in decorating. First the walls. Add some themed murals such as a cloud and plane stick on, or a baseball mural. You can even add a colorful growth chart where you can track your new child as they grow up. Next itâs time to make the room a fun place for children with the addition of teddy bears and other stuffed animals. Plush toys are a great way to make a childâs room their own. Place a few teddy bears on the dresser, or on the windowsill. Plush dogs would also be great, because what little boy doesnât want a dog? Then, you can add another toy that matches your roomâs theme. For example, get a plush rocking horse for that cowboy theme, or a star mobile to place above the bed for a space them, or little toy cars for an automobile theme.</p>
<p>So as you can see, with just a little bit of creativity you can easily create a fun nursery for your new baby boy. The possibilities are endless!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Itâs time to welcome your new baby with a room thatâs out of this world! A celestial themed nursery is a great way to show your creativity, and you never know, maybe youâll be raising a little astronomer or astronaut! This theme can fit a room thatâs either small or big, just pick and choose from the suggestions below until you have a space that fits your style. We have also included some budget tips to help you keep some of the expenses of a new baby down.</p>
<p><strong>&lt;b&gt;Celestial Theme&lt;/b&gt;</strong></p>
<p>This theme isnât nearly as complicated as it sounds, and itâs versatile enough to be used for either a boy or a girl, which is perfect if youâre one of those parents who would like a surprise! The predominant color for this theme is blue, but the soft nuances necessary to create the right atmosphere make it gender non-specific. Itâs also important to keep in mind that a celestial theme means you can either go with a starry night or a sunny day, so this theme is incredibly versatile indeed. </p>
<p>So letâs begin decorating!</p>
<p><strong>&lt;b&gt;</strong><strong>Walls, Ceilings, Windows and Floor&lt;/b&gt;</strong></p>
<p>As mentioned previously, most of the colors used will be blue, whether light blue for the day theme, or dark blue for the night theme. Also, if youâre using the day theme, whites and yellows can also be a good choice.</p>
<p>The ceiling is a critical piece for the celestial theme. Either paint it dark blue for a starry night theme, or light blue to depict a sunny day. To make things really fun, you can use those glow-in-the-dark stick on stars to spread across the ceiling. Or alternately, you can add cloud versions of the stars for the day theme. You can even paint or stencil on your own clouds. When it comes to the walls, start by getting a star and moon, or sun and clouds wallpaper. </p>
<p>Budget tip: Wallpapers, while lovely, can be both expensive and difficult to apply. You can save yourself some time and money by using paint instead. No matter the theme, a light blue color would go best. If you still want to include a little wallpaper for that extra oomph, get some funky, sky-themed borders to put around the door. </p>
<p>For the windows, youâll need to add either some drapes or valances. For a classic combination, use white or yellows to compliment the ceiling and walls. Yellow can even be used in the night theme, because a darker yellow can help accent the stars. Lastly, donât forget about the floor. Now, you may already have carpet in the room, but if you donât, you have a couple of choices. You can find a fun star and moon carpet, or if thatâs too much pattern with what you have already, get plain dark blue. </p>
<p><strong>&lt;b&gt;Furniture Time&lt;/b&gt;</strong></p>
<p>Furniture essentials are a must, like a crib, a changing table, and a dresser in which to keep the babyâs clothes. With the celestial theme you can really use any color, but white would certainly be a good pick. If you have some extra space in the room, you could also add a small nightstand, a bed, and a couch. The bed is useful as a place for you to sleep on those nights when you feel the need to stay close to the baby, or a bed or a couch can be a good place for friends and family to sit when they are visiting the new arrival. </p>
<p>Budget Tip: This is particularly useful if you plan on keeping that room as the permanent room of the baby. After all, eventually your child will grow into the bed, saving you money later on. </p>
<p><strong>&lt;b&gt;</strong><strong>Time to Decorate&lt;/b&gt;</strong></p>
<p>Now itâs time to put the finishing touches on your babyâs room with decorations! A night lamp would be a great idea, and also practical. For the starry night theme, get a moon shaped night light. For the sunny day theme, get one thatâs shaped like the sun. Put it somewhere where itâs convenient and still easily seen. Next, get some celestial-themed bedding for the crib and/or bed. You should be able to find a bedding set with stars or suns on it in most stores.</p>
<p>Budget Tip: Buy all your bedding at once and save with a bed set. The same way you book a vacation flight, hotel and rental, this can save you money.</p>
<p>If you havenât reached the end of your budget yet, you can also add a store and moon musical mobile over the crib. Also, add teddy bears and other plush toys on the changing table and other parts of the room for a cute touch. Donât forget to use light colors to keep the theme consistent. You could even choice nocturnal stuffed animals only if youâve got a night theme. You could choose any animal. Maybe you want stuffed cows, or plush dogs and plush cats. Arrange them in places that will really brighten up the cuteness factor of the room. </p>
<p>So there you go! You now have a beautiful nursery with which to welcome your new baby. Remember, you can be as creative as you want, or as a budget friendly. Take these suggestions, and soon youâll have the perfect celestial hideaway!</p>
