Travel Changing Mat – Mama Shack

I’m Daniella, and I started Mama Shack to bring together function and design in everyday baby essentials. As a parent, I get the need for products that are both practical and nice to look at. My goal is to create high-quality items with fun, modern prints that blend seamlessly into your home.

My Products

One of the most used items in a nursery is the changing mat – but I always felt the design was overlooked. So I re-imagined it. My collection of changing mats is not only functional but made to suit contemporary interiors, with prints that bring joy and style to your everyday routine.

I’ve since expanded Mama Shack to include a range of baby essentials – from weaning accessories to nursery textiles – all designed in-house to pair perfectly with our signature patterns.

How It All Started

Mama Shack began when I was searching for the perfect baby shower gift for my best friend. I wanted something that was both practical and stylish, something that would suit her home decor and not look too babyish. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to make it myself.

With a background in print and design, I created my first changing mat and it quickly caught the attention of friends and family. What started as a one-off gift soon turned into custom orders and eventually my own website.

Baby Monitor with Video & Sound – Angelcare

Angelcare History

For over 25 years, Angelcare has been a trusted name for families around the world—delivering award-winning baby and pet care products designed to bring peace of mind.

What began with a single question—How can we help babies sleep more safely? —has grown into a mission. As an innovative and entrepreneurial brand, we stay curious, responsive, and committed to helping make life’s everyday moments a little simpler and safer.

Medical Device Certification (UK)

In the UK, baby breathing monitors are now officially classified as medical devices under the UK Medical Device Regulation Class IIb (as of March 2021).

If a product is designed to:

• Monitor vital signs like respiration or oxygen levels
• Detect or alert for sleep apnoea or similar conditions
• Target use for premature babies or suggest SIDS prevention

…it must meet strict medical standards. Angelcare supports this regulation to ensure product safety and consumer trust.

Product Features & Benefits

• Iconic Angelcare design, now with a sleek, modern update
• Wireless Sensor Pad with 4 adjustable sensitivity levels
• 20-second alarm if no movement is detected
• For babies 0–18 months, with continued use as a video monitor beyond
• 4.3″ LCD screen, 1080HD video, and night vision
• Wide-angle wall-mounted camera with pan & zoom
• Two-way talk, temperature display, 6 lullabies, and nightlight
• No WiFi or apps—for a safer, simpler, more private experience
• Works with cribs and moses baskets (must be stationary and not attached to a bed)

Partnered with The Lullaby Trust

Angelcare is proud to be the first video and sound monitor brand to partner with The Lullaby Trust, the UK’s leading safer sleep charity.

We’ve donated 250 AC25-1 monitors to support families in the CONI programme—offering reassurance to bereaved parents preparing for a new baby.

Note: Baby monitors do not prevent SIDS and should never replace regular check-ins.

Sleep Aids – Rockit

Rockit designs innovative, award-winning sleep aids that help babies and young children sleep better, at home and on the go. Their journey began with the launch of the Rockit portable baby rocker, a rocket-shaped device that gently rocks any pram or stroller to soothe babies to sleep. The Rockit Rocker is USB rechargeable and easy to attach, offering hands-free nap support for tired parents everywhere.

The idea for Rockit began when Dr Nick Webb’s baby daughter wouldn’t sleep unless her pushchair was moving. Using a salvaged printer motor, he built a prototype that worked. Along with co-founders Matt Dyson and Matt Sparrow, the team refined and launched the product in 2017.

Rockit quickly gained attention, landing in John Lewis, JoJo Maman Bébé, and over 130 UK independent retailers. Now, the brand exports to more than 40 countries and has sold over 800,000 Rockits worldwide.

Award wins include two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, a Design Council Spark Award, and multiple parenting accolades from Made for Mums and the Junior Design Awards.

Building on this success, Rockit introduced Zed, a cute astronaut shaped sleep aid that sends calming vibrations through any mattress. Zed also includes a soothing night light helping babies settle more quickly. Then came Wooshh, a small but mighty sound soother which has 8 calming sounds including shushing, womb sounds and white noise. It even includes a real space sound! (Used with kind permission of NASA).  Wooshh creates a comforting sleep environment whether you are at home or away. Measuring just 6cm tall it’s small enough to pop in your pocket and can be clipped to a curtain, strapped to the pram or simply placed on a bedside table.

Since launch, Rockit has made plenty of news with press coverage coming from high profile publications including The Times, Vogue, and Good Housekeeping. They have also appeared on the BBC News Channel, Channel 4 and featured on ITV’s ‘This Morning’.

Today, Rockit continues to grow as a globally recognised brand, dedicated to designing smart solutions for baby and toddler sleep.

Playing – The Essential Baby Checklist

Sensory Toys – The Little Peanut Company

Say goodbye to generic baby gifts – and hello to beautiful, brain-boosting play.

Finding the perfect baby gift can feel impossible — you want something beautiful, meaningful, and genuinely useful, not another item destined for the cupboard. That’s why mum-of-three Alana Curzon founded The Little Peanut Company in 2019: to create gifts that are treasured in the moment, spark joy in play, and support a child’s development long after the special day.

Two of our most loved gift sets are:

• My First Sensory Set – a thoughtfully curated collection of sensory toys designed for the tiniest of babies. Each piece stimulates sight, sound, touch, and movement, helping to build early skills such as hand-eye coordination, motor development, and curiosity — all through the magic of play.
• The Ultimate Discovery Bundle – a captivating introduction to sensory play, created for the earliest stages when tiny eyes are learning to focus and little hands are eager to explore. Available in two beautiful colourways, monochrome and rainbow, this enchanting set combines textures, gentle sounds, and engaging visuals to inspire curiosity, encourage exploration, and nurture the precious parent–baby bond. Presented in our signature gift box, it’s a unique and memorable alternative to traditional baby gifts — perfect for baby showers, newborn celebrations, and first milestones.

Parents love that our toys aren’t just practical — they’re beautiful. With natural wood, food-grade silicone, and a calming, modern colour palette, each piece complements any nursery or playroom while offering endless play value.

Voted Gold Winner in the Project Baby Magazine Awards for Best Sensory Toy and Silver Winner for Best Baby Gift Box, The Little Peanut Company is the go-to for thoughtful, high-quality baby gifts that parents appreciate and babies adore.

Soft Teething Toys with cloud & cuckoo

My Friend Goo is the natural rubber toy every parent needs, It’s unique ability to entertain, settle and soothe your baby whilst developing oral and fine motor skills sets Goo aside from the abundance of plastic alternatives on the market. Designed by Jenna from Cloud and Cuckoo, My Friend Goo is easy to hold and safe for a baby to put in their mouth. The unique tail feature provides the comfort of a dummy whilst the whole toy can be explored through sensory play.

It’s clear Cloud and Cuckoo’s product development comes from a place of experience as their toy sets include a clip that can attach to the toy, an extremely useful accessory for when your baby lets go and you get stuck in a loop of constantly picking it up and passing it back. The clip can attach to the pushchair or car seat making My Friend Goo the perfect travel companion for walks, trips into town or long car journeys.

When Jenna became a mum for the first time she couldn’t believe how many plastic toys were on the market. Research showing higher concentrations of microplastic in babies compared to adults motivated her to develop a toy made from natural rubber straight from the Hevea tree that babies loved to chew. Natural rubber is free from plastic, nitrosamines, phthalates, BPA and PVC.

Cloud and Cuckoo are committed to developing products that are not only better for your baby but are also more sustainable and better for our planet.

My Friend Goo should be on your baby essential checklist because:

• better for your baby
• free from plastic and harmful chemicals
• entertains, settles and soothes
• can work as a dummy alternative
• eco friendly and sustainable

SleepCurve: Supporting Baby’s Comfort, Development, and Head Health

When it comes to your baby’s sleep and development, the right support can make all the difference. SleepCurve is a UK-based innovator that has reimagined infant mattresses to address both comfort and health—most notably, the prevention and treatment of flat head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly). Designed by a leading paediatric cranial osteopath, SleepCurve’s unique contoured design redistributes pressure away from vulnerable areas of a baby’s skull, while helping to keep airways open for easier breathing.

Clinically tested at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, the SleepCurve mattress demonstrated an average 97% improvement in head shape over just six months. This isn’t just theory—it’s a practical, proven solution trusted by parents and healthcare professionals alike.

While SleepCurve’s range includes mattresses for Moses baskets, cribs, and cot beds, one standout product for active playtime is the SleepCurve Baby Activity Mat. This special edition mat brings the same ergonomic design principles into a safe, supportive space for babies to play, roll, and explore. It’s ideal for tummy time and early motor skill development—critical stages for strengthening neck, back, and shoulder muscles—while continuing to minimise prolonged pressure on one part of the head.

The Activity Mat’s gentle contour supports natural head shaping during play, offering a consistent approach to head health beyond sleeping hours. Parents appreciate that it combines the developmental benefits of play with the same safety and comfort standards that define the SleepCurve brand.

Whether your goal is to prevent flat head syndrome, improve an existing condition, or simply provide your baby with the best in comfort and safety, SleepCurve offers a well-researched, expertly designed solution. From peaceful naps to playful afternoons, every moment on a SleepCurve surface is a step toward healthy growth and happy smiles.
