Today Miki tells you all about the Kindy Kamper, an innovative product brought to you by an Aussie mum, and shares with you her personal experience of it. Mum is definitely the word!

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

I am the proud owner of a Kindy Kamper - www.kindykamper.com.au. If you haven’t seen the Kindy Kamper before you should know that they’re only *the coolest* travel and kindy bedding for kids around!

Essentially the Kindy Kamper is a complete portable bedding solution for kids, designed to fit most kindy mats and stretcher beds (and it fits most portacot mattresses a treat too).

The bottom layer is lovely soft quilting with a 100% cotton cover. Then there’s a removable pillow and the top layers are a cotton blend top sheet, and a cosy and soft embroidered polar fleece blanket, which is removable, so it’s great all year round.

When the kids head off to kindy and need to take bedding the Kindy Kamper is absolutely perfect. No more naming each and every sheet and blanket and having to dig through lost property each week when part of the ensemble has gone missing yet again. Nope, none of that with the Kindy Kamper, because it’s all attached together!

It rolls up into an easy-to-carry ’swag’ with a panel for the child’s name easily visible on the outside, and voila! You’re ready to go without needing to hunt down a single pillowcase.

When the Kindy Kamper needs washing you simply remove the pillow insert and throw everything else into the washing machine. You can even tumble dry it afterwards, handy if your climate is anything like mine!

There are a great range of designs to choose from (I love the new Denim Kampers with denim sheeting and a bright red fleece blanket complete with appliquéd denim star - it’s gorgeous!) , and also a great new product in the Kindy Kamper stable that will be of interest to those of you with older kids.

The Big Kamper (in fabulous denim) is designed for bigger little people from age 6 upwards. It’s the Kindy Kamper but upsized: ideal for primary school camps, camping trips, sleepovers, and cubby camp-outs. What a blessing!

It’s a great time to scoop up some Kindy Kampers as Cassy at Kindy Kamper is offering KidStyleFile readers a 10% discount via reimbursement on the Kindy Kamper. Mention ‘KidStyleFile’ in the PayPal comments field at checkout, and Cassy will refund you back 10% of your Kindy Kamper’s purchase price.* Offer ends Friday 5 September.

Just some of the fab Kindy Kamper designs available:

Just on a personal note, even though the Kindy Kamper is aimed at pre-schoolers (and now school aged kids with the new Big Kamper), even the very littlest ones can use it. My son is only 12 months old and we use it all the time. It fits perfectly into our portacot and makes for super-easy travel bedding. It’s cute, cuddly, cozy, convenient and absolutely ideal for babies and toddlers when travelling.

This is my son Alex in his portacot with the Kindy Kamper. My Kindy Kamper is the Transport Green model - I love it!

Also, while you’re over at the Kindy Kamper site, check out the great range of other products available.

The Fridge To Go (TM) lunchboxes are such a clever innovation. No longer will your drink be unpleasantly warm and your sandwiches hot and soggy - now you can keep food and drinks cold for up to eight hours! There are no batteries, ice or external power and it’s completely portable. Can’t get easier than that! They’re great to look at too, with two bright, attractive colours: pink and pacific blue.

Kindy Kamper also stocks the ever fabulous Penny Scallan backpacks, and the highly useful Reward Charts and really nifty kids calendars.

Kindy Kamper charges from $10.00 within Australia. Please see here for a full list of postage charges.

*Please note that you must pay full price and Cassy will refund you 10% - a vagary of PayPal. 10% refund applies to Kindy Kamper orders only; does not apply to other stock items.

When enterprising Mum, Cassy Tapper couldn’t find a bedding solution suitable for her kids to use at creche and kindy, she designed her own, and so the award winning Kindy Kamper - www.kindykamper.com.au - was born!

Cassy is having an end of financial year clearance on current stock, and is offering KidStyleFile readers a $5.00 reimbursement on the Kindy Kamper. Mention ‘KidStyleFile’ in the PayPal comments field at checkout, and Cassy will refund you $5.00*

I got one for Miki’s son Alex to use while travelling, so I’ve had first hand experience of the product. I can tell you that the Kindy Kamper is a very clever piece of design engineering, and it’s practical and cute too!

The Kindy Kamper has two top layers: the first is is the polar fleece layer and the second is 100% cotton sheeting.

The polar fleece layer can be zipped off, for when the weather is warmer, or for use as a separate blankie. Both the sheet and the polar blankie are oversized on the horizontal plane, so they can be tucked snugly under the bottom layer.

The top sheeting of the Kindy Kamper is permanently attached to the bottom layer, which is quilted with polyester fill for warmth and comfort, and comes complete with an attached pillowcase with removable pillow.

I love that the sheet and pillow are attached; they can’t be thrown off or lost, and the flexibility of the polar layer is a very thoughtful innovation.

The Kindy Kamper comes with adjustable velcro corners for a snug fit and at 125cm x 90cm x 90cm, it will fit most kindy mats and stretcher beds (Miki says it fits a portacot just great too!)

Kindy Kamper rolls up and is secured by sewn-on velcro straps for easy transport complete with an attached carry handle. There’s even a special spot to write your child’s name for ease of identification.

Choose from eight great kid-friendly designs. The Kindy Kamper is priced at $49.95 (and will be going up by $5.00 from 1 July, so beat the price rise!)

Mention ‘KidStyleFile’ in the PayPal comments field at checkout, and it’s yours for just $44.95. That is a super bargain: you couldn’t make it for that!

Cassy has also just started stocking Cushy Couches on the Kindy Kamper site. Single couches are $99.95 and double couches are $139.95.
