Suitcase essential

Posted by Claire on May 4, 2009 in Equipment.


Planning a holiday avec baby this summer?  Don’t forget to pack a Gro Anywhere Blackout Blind!  This ingenious product was recommended to me by a friend as a means of blocking out sunlight for Bubs’ daytime naps way back when he was tiny and when the product was known as a Baa Baa Blind.  Now part of the Gro Group stable, the product has been re-named – but the simple yet clever idea remains the same.  It’s basically a blackout blind that affixes directly to the window with suction cups; it can be adjusted to fit almost any window and folds up neatly into its own carry bag, making it perfect for travel whether home or abroad.  We actually use ours full time to make the room dark enough for naps and also to prevent the dreaded early waking during the summer months.  I can’t recommend it highly enough!  Currently retailing at £26.10 on Amazon.co.uk – get yours now!

About Claire

Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!

    Just what I need! Have been letting daughter go to sleep in my darker bedroom and then carrying her into bed at my bed time since the nights got lighter, this is going to be brilliant and will be great when we go on holiday too! Now if I could just find something that will block out the noise of the neighbor’s barking dog on a Sunday morning….! Thanks for another great recommendation :)
