Hi Everyone,

Spring has sprung, daffodils are popping up, change is in the air, and we also have some big big news for you! Something new and bright is coming to our awards to fully represent us as a team and as a brand, and to help people instantly recognise us! In fact, we’ve been thinking a lot here about our Baby & Toddler Awards, and where we will be going forwards with it. We’ve also been thinking about what the awards mean to us!

As a trio with strong links to Italy, and we love anything fun, bright and colourful. We’ve decided on a rebrand. This is a new territory and a big leap, but we want something, fun new and vibrant. So we would like to officially announce the news that we are having a rebrand to become the ‘BAMBINI Baby Awards’. Bambini is Italian for kids / babies and at the same time is international, fun and snazzy.

Hi everyone,  
I hope you are all well and enjoying the sun that has finally joined us. Last week I posted a blog where I described my first son’s experience on the WeeRide balance bike.
As I previously mentioned, by two and a half, I could see he was very confident on his balance bike and would whizz around the playground swerving and picking up speed on the contours. I was excited to see if he would be able to manage on a pedal bike.
Previously, I’d searched online to find a mid-priced bike which was suitable for toddlers available second-hand and was lucky to find a good bargain on ebay. This time, I found an offer at my Local Halfords. I don’t think this particular model is in production any longer but the green Apollo Marvin the Monkey kids bike was on special offer and I’d noticed a lot of local kids using them.  At the store they offered to attach the accompanying stabilizers but I declined while wondering if that would turn out to be a mistake.

​Hi everyone from all of us at the Baby & Toddler Awards. OK, so my youngest, Eric, is no longer a  baby or toddler; he turns five on the first day of Spring. But yesterday was a significant day in our family since it was the first time we were able to go for a proper bike ride all together.

Now I don’t want to boast as there’s a lot I’ve got wrong in my fatherhood career so far but I can’t hide how proud I am of both him and his brother when it comes to their bike-riding. Frank, my older son learned to ride a bike (without stabilizers) aged 2 and nine months. Eric learned aged 3.5 months. In this blog I’ll talk you through our journey, the bikes we used and the challenges we faced.
