I think as a parent we come to learn that when we go out, we end up needing to take everything except the kitchen sink with us.
The Miracle Box has come up with a product to help us parents get a bit more organised with our belongings when out and about.
The buggy parent organiser simply attaches to your pram, buggy ot stroller using strong velcro straps. It contains three compartments, perfect for holding those much needed essentials. Inside there is a thermal bottle pocket, a mesh pocket to hold your phone and even internal zip pockets to pop your money and keys in.
You might have read my review yesterday of the buggy hooks and clips from The Miracle Box which work very well with their Miracle bag changing bags. These clips and hooks are great for strapping on to your pushchairs handles, ready for carrying schools bags, shopping etc.
The Miracle Box have very kindly allowed me to give away a pair of buggy hooks and a pair of buggy clips to one lucky reader.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to have the chance to review one of The Miracle Boxes changing bags.
I now have their accessories, the Buggy Hooks and the Buggy Clips to review.
Both the hooks and the clips are priced at £5.99 and each of them come in a pack of two. The idea is that you can use these to hang things like shopping bags, changing bags etc.
Each one has an extra strong adjustable velcro strap which can be secured to most prams, pushchairs and strollers.
Both the clips and the hooks can hold up to 2.5kg of weight. I actually found that even though the clips and the hooks essentially do the same job, they worked better at holding different items.
The clips were much better at holding handbags and changing bags. I think in most part because the clips close securely, other people are unable to just take things off of them, making them a great way to stop any theft of your bag. It was also better at holding wider strapped items as they had no way of slipping out of the clip.
The hooks really came in handy for things like the kids lunch boxes and school bags.
The hooks actually rotate a full 360 degrees, making it simple to place more than one bag on each hook because you could angle the bags not to stick or get in the way of you walking.
I wouldn't hesistate in recommending both the hooks and clips. Adding and removing items of either accessory is quick and easy to do and they make a great accessory for any parent who is always out and about and on the go all of the time. The velcro really is nice and strong, it never cam undone and it stayed in place nicely on my strollers handle.
It means that if you run out of space in your pushchairs basket, you can still keep your hands free for pushing the pushchair, holding your child's hand etc. Just a little helping hand to aid in all the multi-tasking us parents are always having to do.

Following on from my review of the new chic range changing bag, The Miracle Box have a very kindly allowed me to give away one of their new bags to one of my lucky readers.

Never can a woman have too many bags. My husband often asked why I have so many, why do I need them all, clearly he knows nothing about accessorising!!
And it is this reason that I got extremely excited when The Miracle Box sent me one of their new Chic range changing bags to try out.
The Miracle Box launched their first product in October 2007 at the Earls court baby show and since then have gone from strength to strength. Making birth balls, hiring out birthing pools, pre packed hospital bags and of course their stylish range of changing bags.
I received one of their new Chic changing bags in black spot but it will soon be available in red, stone and navy spot too. I think this kind of design is timeless so you don't have to worry about it going out of fashion any time soon.
As you can see from the picture above, it comes in lovely packaging and once opened up includes a change mat, buggy clips and a wet bag, as well as a built in chain in one of the pockets to hang your keys on. I couldn't believe how many pockets there were, it is definitely big enough to take everything except maybe the kitchen sink.
It is made out of 100% cotton but because it is laminated, you can easily wipe it clean and it has chrome studded feet at the bottom which I think makes it more durable, I always find the corners of my bags wearing away from being left on the floor so the feet should prevent this from happening.
I love how extendable the strap is because not only did it fit over my pushchair handles and over my shoulder, I could also wear it across my body which is extremely handy when I carry my youngest in a wrap. The only thing that could have made the strap better was some sort of padding round it as it tended to dig in a little when having it on for longer periods.
The video I have made gives you closer look at just how spacious the bag is :
Clearly I needed to test just how spacious the bag was and you will be pleased to know you can fit a lot in there. I packed the bag up when my kids were staying at nannie's house over night, so I shall list just what I put inside :
1x sleepsuit
1 x vest
1 x change of clothes
3 x bibs
2 x spoons
2 x cups
1 x change mat
1 x wet bag
1x ruby and ginger original nappy purse filled with wipes and nappies
1 x sleeping bag
1 x comforter
And as you can see from the picture below, there was still plenty more room for more items, so I can see this being a great bag to take on holiday.
Retailing at £45, I can highly recommend this changing bag to all of you, not only is it spacious and practical, it is stylish as well, a great mummy/baby accessory in my opinion.
You can find The Miracle Box on Facebook and Twitter for all their latest product news.
