B-Scene is a revolutionary new clothing brand for children, developed with the built in safety aspect: they glow in the dark. Actually, they have built in high visibility strips, like those reflective bicycle jackets, but without the ugly yellow that no one really wants to wear. These are currently reduced by 50% to just £22.50, which is a great price for a coat anyway, high visibility or not.

This is, I’ll admit, a bit of an odd one. The coats look absolutely fabulous, and with it being dark by the time most kids walk past our house on their way home, I think it’s a brilliant invention, but buying it is a bit unusual.

The price is shown as £22.50 on the website, until you click on buy, then it throws it up as being £44.99. In order to get the £22.50 price, you have to register as a member on the website, where after you’ll be given a unique code to enter to get the sale price. While initially off-putting, I did it and found the information they want from you is less than you’d normally provide when doing an online order, so it’s actually not such a big deal.  They’ve just done it a little back to front.

Something else to be aware of is, as far as I can tell, you can only pay by PayPal.

Buying aside, I think the coats are a brilliant idea, especially if the school run happens after dark or before light for you!

I was talking to my husband the other day about how inconceivable it is, now, to think of putting a child in a car and NOT strapping them securely into a car seat; both of us remember just clambering in and bouncing around free on the back seats as youngsters.

It's probably not wise to work out how much money you're going to spend/have spent on car seats over the childhood years of your child(ren), but you can soften the blow by keeping your eye out for deals on seats like this Britax Adventure 'Billy' high back booster car seat.

This is the very seat that my youngest has in his dad's car and they both think it's awesome.

It's lightweight, it's comfortable (Edward says so) and it's standing up admirably to some serious five-year-old abuse.

It has all the safety features you'd expect and want from a Britax car seat: side impact protection, adjustable headrest, seat belt guide so it sits properly over the shoulder and the seat is shaped correctly to ensure the seat belt also sits comfortably across the lap.

This is an Amazon Deal of the Week so you don't have to worry about the price changing the moment you turn your back - you've got until this coming Sunday to buy at this price or until they sell out.

This Angelcare AC401 Baby Monitor and Sensor Pad will provide peace of mind that, in my opinion, you can’t put a price on.

I had one of these monitors when my youngest was born and I wouldn’t have been without it.  I didn’t have one with the older two – I’m not even sure they were available when they were tiny – and the difference in my quality of sleep was very noticeable.

With the Teenagers, if I woke up in the night I would HAVE to go and check that they were still breathing. With my youngest I didn’t feel the need to and slept better as a result.

The Angelcare Baby Monitor is a sound monitor so you can keep an ear on whether they are awake when you might be too far away in the house, or there’s a lot of noise going on, to guarantee you’ll hear them.

It also has a motion sensor mat that monitors the movement from breathing and triggers the alarm should this stop. Contrary to popular belief, I found this didn’t make me worry more, it had the opposite effect.

It usually retails for £79.99 and, assuming they don't start tinkering around with the price as soon as I post this, you can pick one up from Amazin for a more wallet-friendly £57.57; hurrah!

If you want an Angel Care Baby Monitor delivered in time for Christmas then you'll need to pay for first class delivery, and order it before the end of tomorrow (Saturday 18 December) otherwise you'll be looking at express delivery charges.

My youngest wandered off in John Lewis a couple of years ago - he was next to me one minute and gone the next, to say I felt sick is understatement!

My eldest son has been to various BIG rugby and football matches over the years; he reliably informs me it was really uncomfortable having phone numbers written on a piece of paper and tucked into his sock.

I love these emergency contact information transfers - my ex-husband has some for our youngest, and we both think they're fabulous.

Basically they have your contact phone number on them and transfer on to your child's skin, the way normal temporary transfers/tatoos do.

Your child can choose the design they'd like, and you can choose what you want it to say: Please call mum, call my dad! or whatever you like.

There are also ones for allergies too - which I think is a VERY good idea!

This is one of those simple ideas that makes you wonder why YOU didn't think of it sooner *grin*

They cost £6.50 for a sheet of 12 and delivery is £2 on top of that.
