#MPBTurns2 Giveaway #7: Brother Max Bear Carry & Hang Nightlight

Today, I've teamed up with one of my favourite baby brands for my birthday celebrations. I've previously reviewed the Brother Max Ray Bath & Room Thermometer and their Non-contact Thermometer - both of which we still use now! I'm so pleased that Brother Max have kindly donated one of their gorgeous Bear Carry & Hang Nightlights for today's competition.

The Bear Carry & Hang Nightlight is soft, tactile night time friend who can be either set on a shelf or hung from any hook or door handle. The LEDs are colour-changing so you can keep it in single colour mode or have them changing if you wish. The shape means that it is easy for little ones to carry (especially for night time toilet trips). It lasts for 12 hours on one charge from the rechargeable base and, probably my favourite feature, is that is has a daylight sensing on/off mode. You can also purchase it in a Bunny design too.

Thank you Brother Max for donating this lovely prize!

This competition will run from 8th January until 22nd January and it is open to UK residents only. The prize will be supplied directly from the company. All you need to do it fill in the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!

Worlds Apart Thomas the Tank Engine Go Glow Night Bright - Review

With the clocks due to go back this Sunday (26th October) and nights getting darker, Go Glow conducted a survey asking why children under five years old were afraid of the dark. Out of 1,000 participants, 67% cited monsters being the main reason.

7 in 10 parents said that they walk around their child's bedroom with them at bedtime to prove that there are no monsters hiding. Three quarters of children also get out of bed to seek reassurance from their parents. The survey also found that nightlights were the most reassuring solution that helped stop scary shadows.

Worlds Apart sent C one of their Go Glow Night Brights so he could banish monsters. If it is set down it glows as a nightlight then if it is lifted, it works as a bright torch.

C received a Thomas the Tank Engine design. It also comes in Barbapapa, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Peppa Pig, Fireman Sam, In The Night Garden and My Little Pony. The familiar characters will put your child at ease then if they 'hear a monster' they can easily lift their torch by themselves and check. It's so simple for children to use by themselves as there are no fiddling buttons, you just need to push it down to activate the nightlight and the torch works automatically when lifted.

The battery is rechargeable which I think is a great idea as I can charge it up during the day, meaning I won't need to have dangerous leads hanging out in C's bedroom while he is unattended.

C seems to really like his new nightlight and the torch is a completely new concept to him so he's very excited with it. I like it because the design is so sleek and not unsightly.

The Go Glow Night Brights retail at £22.99 and is suitable for children 12 months+. You can find out more about Worlds Apart on their website, Facebook and Twitter.

TOMY Winnie the Pooh Balloon Nightshow & Protect n Play iCase - Review

We love TOMY (see our past reviews of the Winnie the Pooh Stack, Pour, Post & Play, Jungle Magic Sounds Aquadoodle & Lamaze) and ever since I was younger, I've loved Winnie the Pooh. I've since introduced C by watching Piglet's Big Movie etc so we were really pleased when TOMY sent us the Winnie the Pooh Balloon Nightshow (RRP £19.99) and Winnie the Pooh Protect n Play iCase (RRP £12.99) to try out.

As soon as I opened the cardboard box, C was straight in trying to see what the nightlight did. He has been a bit of a fussy sleeper and will only sleep if I hold his hand. This gorgeous little nightlight has come in very handy! 

Winnie the Pooh holds a balloon which lights up in different colours and plays music. At first, I did think that maybe the music would keep C awake because he wanted to look at it and listen to it but it did send him off to sleep. It plays 5 different songs and you can even set a timer for it to play for either 10 or 20 minutes. Very handy if your child is in their own room as you won't have to sit in to keep switching it on. 

This Winnie the Pooh Balloon Nightshow is suitable from birth so you will really get the use out of it. I think I'll even use it when Baby Girl is born too!

We also received the Winnie the Pooh Protect n Play iCase. C is forever touching our phones. I think it's because he sees us on them all the time and he wants to see what the big deal is. The idea of this case is to put in on your iPhone like a regular case (it's suitable for iPhone models 4, 4S, 5 and 5s) and your child can play with it. It comes with a free Winnie the Pooh app. Add that to the fact that you can hang it from a car seat or pram and you've got the perfect travel entertainer.  You just put the app on before inserting your phone and your child can interact with Pooh by tickling him, feeding him honey and many other things! It even has a mirrored 'honey pot' on the front with little balls inside so it doubles as a rattle!

C has loved playing with this and I love that it fits both mine and Chris's phones (models 4 and 5) so he can always play even when one of us is out. 

This Winnie the Pooh Protect n Play iCase is suitable from 6 months.
