Babysparewear is a nifty invention that offers convenience and practicality for all parents: for the parent who hates traveling with a jam-packed baby bag; or the parent who needs help remembering a second set of clothes – because they always seem to be forgotten on the day baby decides to wet through. Babysparewear means you will be the parent who is prepared for anything! The compact organisation of an outfit change in a handy little bag ensures that you are prepared for the unexpected poo explosion; an all over hands, face and body chocolate incident or just when the weather changes. Babysparewear to the rescue!

Babysparewear is a concept that appeals on so many levels. The garments are all made from easy care fabrics, are chic and come in a range of styles and weights for both boys and girls. Send your little one off to day care with the pack in their bag; leave them in the glove box ‘just in case’; or pack them in your handbag. It’s that easy. They are a perfect gift for the mumma who has everything!

My early childhood was enriched with the presence of two very special women – my Nanas; ‘Nanny’, as I called them both. They possessed time, one of the most precious gifts that can be given to a child, and they lavished it upon me and my siblings generously. I look back upon these ladies with great fondness, and cherish my time spent with them. I’ve tucked these memories away like treasure for the future when I hope to do the same with my own grandchildren and – here’s hoping! – great grandchildren!
