Crawlerz Review

You may remember a competition I ran a little while ago to win a set of Crawlerz safety romper suits.

Since then, Crawlerz have kindly sent me one of their rompers to try out and review.

Now incase you haven't heard of them or are just wanting to know a little bit more about them, I will do my best to explain.



Crawlerz are rompers that have safety in mind. Made in sizes 3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 months,  they are designed to encourage your babies to crawl in a safe manner. They have unique anti-slip safety grips down the legs, toes and underfoot which are in the shape of paw prints. These not only give protection for your little ones, they also make it more comfortable for them whilst they are crawling around on different surfaces.

I was sent one of their rompers in their unisex white colour but you can also purchase them in pink and blue too.


Made from 100% cotton, Crawlerz are lovely and soft and feel like they have a little bit of stretch to them. 

I was accidently sent size 3-6 months, now I didn't return it because I thought I would pass it on to my cousin's baby once I had finished reviewing. Now either Layla is really small or these come up big because Layla is 13 and half months in this photo and the romper just about fits her!! 

Fairly easy to put on, there are poppers to do up down the centre of the romper. 


We have laminate at home and the romper definitely helped prevent Layla from slip sliding around on the floor. Layla in the past couple of months has started walking around and the ant-slip grips on the underfoot really came in handy in helping steady her without the need for putting shoes on.

Crawlerz are currently on sale for £9.99 each. Not only do they look cute and funky, they help your child to move around safely, which I think in turn helps build your little ones confidence as they will have less accidents to scare them.

I would really love it if they were to make these in bigger sizes, 12-18 months and 18-24 months would be great, many little ones are still crawling around at these ages. I would also like to see a wider range of colours available too.

Overall I would recommend these to others, anything that provides extra safety for my child is good in my eyes and I feel they last beyond the crawling stage, they also help when it comes to cruising and walking too, so you get your moneys worth from them.

Crawlerz Giveaway

People will always tell you when you have a baby that the time will fly, they won't be babies for long. Having had four children, I can definitely confirm that this is certainly true.

One thing that this means is that before long your little ones won't be sitting still, staying in one place, oh no they will be on the move, this is when you need eyes in the back of your head.



Crawlerz is a great company that provides safety rompers for your babies. These are unique because they have a patented anti-slip safety grip design down the legs and feet of the rompers, great for those little ones who are constantly on the go as they not only provide comfort, they provide protection too.



I am pleased to tell you that Crawlerz are allowing me to giveaway a set of 7 crawlerz in either boy or girl designs, so that is one romper for every day of the week!!!

To have a chance of winning, just fill out the rafflecopter form below, this giveaway is open to UK residents only and last day for entries is the 7th of July.

Wrapped up in cotton wool

I know it was only a few weeks ago that I was willing Layla to start moving and as much as it is nice to have her crawling around, I take it all back, I want her to sit still because if not I am seriously considering wrapping her up in cotton wool!!!

Within a couple of weeks she has gone from crawling to pulling herself up to standing and now she has started attempting to walk around the furniture. Clever girl you say, I agree, lots of proud mummy moments.



However I forgot how often they fall over at this stage!! I hate having to stand back and watch her trying to figure out how to get herself back down to the floor, she has already ended up with two bruises on her head from tumbling over and no one likes to hear their little ones crying. In my head I realise it is something she has to learn because I can't always be there to catch her. Maybe I should have pillow flooring instead of carpet while she goes through this process though or do you think she'd mind wearing a helmet and pads for now??

The one good thing that comes out of the accidents and tears is that I get to have cuddles with my ever growing baby, this is all just another reminder of how quickly she is transforming from a baby into a toddler.

Anyone else at the same stage with their little ones at the moment?? Are you a nervous wreck like me?

Keep crawling crawling crawling

I am one very inpatient mummy. Infact I think I am the opposite to a lot of parents. Mum's that I speak to aren't in any hurry to get their little ones moving, I on the other hand cannot wait for mine to get up and go!!

My eldest three daughters all crawled by the time they were 7 months, were pulling themselves up at 8 months, cruising at 9 months and walking by the time they were 10 months. So when Layla started getting on her knees at 6 months I thought she was going to follow in her sister's footsteps, or knee slides maybe, how wrong was I.

Getting on her knees lasted a very short while and then she got lazy. With three old siblings quite willing to get everything for her, pick her up at the slightest whine, she was quite happy to stay put. I've lost count of the amount of times I used the phrase "she is no a doll".

Then suddenly this month, at 9 months, she started experimenting on her knees again, well not publicly, I caught her doing it in her cot. However one very excited mummy started waving things infront of her to encourage her to move to them, keys normally work wonders. It was Daddy Hazelden that finally got the little monkey wobbling forward by waving his chocolate bar around, who knew a Wispa could be so appealing.


Now she still isn't thrilled with the concept of moving, much prefers sitting having cuddles, so she will only begrudgingly show off this new amazing trick to people but we can definitely say she did it!!! She just needs to keep crawling crawling crawling (sung in the tune of Limp Bizkits rolling rolling rolling).

Here's to many more milestones.
