5 toddler essentials that make life easier
Looking for the perfect products for a toddler? Look no further.
We’ve rounded up a list of essential items that are a must-have if you have a toddler.
1. Snacks
As any parent knows, snacks are life for a toddler. In fact, healthy snacking is encouraged throughout the day to help keep hunger (and tantrums) at bay.
Little Bellies Veggie Tubes are the perfect snack for toddlers. They’re part of the Toddlers in Training range for 12+ months, containing a mix of veggies including corn, tomato, spinach and pumpkin.
A big plus is that Little Veggie Tubes are baked (not fried) for a crunchier texture, providing a sensory experience. And with no added salt, and being certified organic and gluten-free, parents can rest easy knowing they’re making the right choice for their little ones.

2. Insulated drink bottles and food jars
Being organised with your toddler’s meals is key when out and about. There’s nothing worse than finding the water bottle has spilled everywhere, or you can’t find anywhere to heat your child’s food.
b.box has a fantastic range of drinking and feeding products to suit a variety of needs. We especially love the Insulated Drink Bottle. The double-walled stainless steel keeps liquids cool for up to eight hours and warm for up to six, so now your little one can stay hydrated whatever the weather. A simple push button lid lets kids easily manage themselves, and it won’t leak when the lid is clicked closed!
The b.box Insulated Food Jar keeps food at the perfect temperature throughout the day, whether kids prefer warm (five hours) pasta for lunch or cool (seven hours) refreshing fruit and yoghurt.
Made from tritan™, the Tritan Drink Bottle is also a winner. It’s unique triangle shape bottle is designed specifically for little hands, making it easier for kids to grip. And the easy to use push button lid, keeps straw tops hygienic – it’s perfect for kindy and school.

3. Sleep suit bag
A comfy and safe way to promote restful sleep, a sleep suit bag is perfect for your little one.
Made from breathable GOTS certified Organic Cotton, ergoPouch’s award-winning Sleep Suit Bag converts from a Sleeping Bag to a Sleep Suit with legs using the 4-way zipper. Sleep Suit mode (with legs), is the perfect sleep solution for little wrigglers and movers who like more leg freedom, and toddlers/preschoolers transitioning from cot to bed.
Available in four different TOG ratings, the ergoPouch Sleep Suit Bag is all your little one needs to keep warm throughout the night – there’s no need for additional blankets in the cot when using this product, making it a safe-sleep option.
In suit mode, the product can also be used with a 5-point harness, such as in a pram or car seat (do not use a padded sleeping bag or suit – 2.5 TOG or 3.5 TOG – in a car seat.) Importantly, both sleep modes are hip-friendly for growing hip joints.
Available in sizing from three months to six years. For more information, visit ergoPouch.

4. A travel stroller
When the going gets tough (for your toddler), you need a stroller.
The UPPAbaby Minu Stroller is a great, lightweight stroller that you can keep in the boot of your car. The Spacious seat holds up to 23 kg, allowing for maximum comfort, not to mention a large, easy-access basket (5 kg weight limit.). Parents love that they can collapse it with one hand and it stays standing while folded.

5. A sleep-trainer clock
Having a toddler waking you up at all hours of the night can be exhausting for parents.
Hopefully the Oricom 08BUN Sleep Trainer Clock can help – after all, it has been developed to help improve the sleeping habits of your toddler. The backlit display colours change to yellow or blue depending on the time, helping your toddler understand when to wake up and when to sleep. Genius!
