Today, Miki visits the wonderful Metro Mum, and brings us news of new delights in store. Lap them up!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

There’s a new Trunki in town, and its name - or should I say ‘her name’ - is Frieda.

We’ve raved on about Trunki in the past, quite a number of times actually (Ange has them for her kids, and counts the Trunki in her ‘Top 5 Kids Products Ever’ List!) The British kids suitcase designers have developed quite a fan base in the Antipodes, and it’s not hard to see why.

Cleverly sized to be carry-on size for all airlines, these little suitcases are designed to be ridden on by their pint-sized owners.  Strong enough to carry not one but two preschoolers, with horns for the little tackers to hold on to and a strap for the parents to tow them should they so wish, Trunki suitcases make waiting in airports with small kids a million times easier!  Even better - once the kids have tired themselves out the Trunki can be easily carried by the parent.

Joining her friends Towgo, Terrence and Trixie, Frieda Trunki is a limited edition cow design.

You can get your Frieda at the ever-wonderful Metro Mum - www.metromum.com.au - with the merest click of a mouse, but you’d better skidaddle on over quickly, now as only one shipment has arrived from the UK, they’re mooooving out the door fast (pun intended )  and once these adorable little cases are gone, they’re gone for good!

Read the Metro Mum blog post about Frieda to find out more about this new fun and funky friend.

Also new at Metro Mum are the gorgeous textiles from Caden Lane.

Direct from the US, Caden Lane is the savvy mum’s choice of nursery décor and accessories with celebrities such as Tori Spelling creating their entire nursery theme around this stylish collection. Comprised of bold colours and playful prints the Caden Lane collection is infused with pink, browns, blue, striking swirls and pinstripes and a twist on the traditional neutral prints.

Check out the range of luxe bibs (all mums know that you can never have too many), the laminated spill mats, ruffle blankets, hooded towel and washcloth sets (these are perfect gifts!). Also, bag lovers take note: do not miss the extremely stylish (and very affordable!) bowler-style nappy bags. Divine!
