Spring and Summer accessories are important in keeping your baby cool, well-ventilated and free from creepy crawlies. Whether it's an anti-UV tent for the garden, a parasol for your pushchair or a summer cover for your car seat.
From BBQs to the park: our Spring/Summer Holiday Buyers Guide will help you stay cool as the weather heats up. Let's start with Pushchair Accessories.
A good pushchair parasol keep your little one protected from the sun in Spring/Summer - and impromptu showers, too.
BABYZEN YOYO+ Parasol 2019 is the perfect parasol for your BABYZEN YOYO+ pushchair such as the BABYZEN YOYO+ Pushchair Black Chassis and 6+ Colour Pack.
If you're a Cosatto fan and own the Cosatto Wow Pram & Pushchair, then you'll love the fun print Cosatto Parasol, which also doubles up as your child's brolly!
Maxi Cosi Stroller Parasol is easy to fit to the majority of Maxi Cosi Pushchairs, and easily adjustable too. It is a sturdy UV 40+ protective parasol that opens and closes in the same way as an umbrella. It has a flexible arm that offers your little one a great place in the shade all day long.
If you don't own any of these brands, fear not. My Buggy Buddy Sun Shade is a circular sun shade with a universal clip that attaches to most pushchair hoods.
UPF50+ Pushchair Sun Canopy
If you're looking to buy a new Pushchair, then it's an extra plus if your chosen model has a sun protective canopy. Bugaboo Fox Pushchair Sun Canopy has an extendable hood with UPF 50+ sun protection and is made from sustainable recycled yarn. If you prefer a wider range of colours, then the Bugaboo Fox/Cameleon 3 Pushchair Sun Canopy is available from BuggyBaby.

On the hottest days, it's lovely to get out in the garden and have a play. Our Spring/Summer Holiday Buyers Guide will help you choose the best toys for kids of all ages.

A playpen, such as the Joie Cheer Play Pen Little Explorer, provides a portable play pen that can be easily turned into a play centre - just add toys! it's really easy to fold up and down, and is safe for napping in too, so you could feasibly take it to the park for a relaxing day out.
