Bump Watch: Nod Pod Review

Today Esther has been helping me to test out a potential product for her new little sister. Although the arrival of baby number 3 is still a way off it is never to early to start trying and testing baby products, especially at a time where there are lots of exciting innovations and inspirations coming to the market.

Tester Esther!

Today I think I have found one of them, a Nod Pod. I actually discovered this product at the Brighton Baby Expo earlier this month and was ecstatic to be sent one to review. I received a beautiful soft, white, legged blanket in size 0 – 6 months to trial with Esther and William.

I chose Esther as my model as she loves to feel snuggly in her buggy and around the house. I do worry when out and about that even in her cosy toes her legs might be a little chilly with just her tights. The Nod Pod works to warm her pins in the buggy as it fits snuggly around her legs within her cosy toes to keep her toasty warm. She loves it! She even likes to wear it to watch TV!

Snug as a Snotty Bug in a Nod Pod (Bless!)

Esther is actually 16 months old but because she was born 3 months early she only weighs 19lbs and is just 70cm long. Bless! For her the Nod Pod is a very tight, snug fit and will probably see her through the winter, if I do not put it safely away for Baby 3!

So what exactly is a Nod Pod?

The Nod Pod is a baby blanket brought up to date. Perfect for new babies its design keeps little legs, toes, and heads covered and can keep arms safely wrapped up where babies like them best.

The blanket’s simple and versatile design works with baby carriers, car seats and pushchairs without needing holes and zips to accommodate straps and buckles. It also works perfectly on its own in a cot or moses basket allowing you to wrap up your little bundle without lots of extra fabric and bulk getting in the way.

Nod Pod is made from light weight, super soft fleece, knit exclusively for our blankets and is machine washable. Each Nod Pod comes in its own handy cotton drawstring bag

Currently Nod Pod is available in size 0-6 months with a 6-12 months size coming soon!

The Nod Pod would make the perfect present for any winter babies. It is such a simple product that can be used in so many ways and in combination with other products to keep a baby secure and warm.

When Esther and William were tiny we used to have to really pad them out to go in their car seats and carry cots to keep them safe and warm. A Nod Pod would have been perfect for them in those earliest of days. It can be used to swaddle a baby to help them feel safe and secure as they sleep.

Ready for Bed

My sister is bringing her newborn son home from Australia for Christmas. He is definitely going to feel the chill here in the UK. A Nod Pod will help to keep him warm by adding an extra super soft layer to keep the shivers away.

This is a fabulous baby blanket and one that I will definitely be buying for friends and family in the future.

Esther loves it and I think that I may have a job getting her out of it now! She likes to roll around and hide in hers! Peepo!

Where has Esther gone?

The Nod Pod comes in blue, white and pink. It costs £20 and is available to buy online.

Pod in a Bag

The Nod Pod comes in its own cotton drawstring bag but we can jazz up the packaging and add a short message if you want to send it directly to someone as a gift. Please just outline what you would like in the ‘comments’ box and if we have any questions we’ll get in touch to clarify your wishes before the Nod Pod is posted.

A great product with great customer service. A big thumbs up and firm nod of the head from Edspire for The Nod Pod!
