This day I love.......

If your 3 year old is anything like mine then they often want to help with everything that you do. Take yesterday as an example, I was washing down the cupboard fronts after my daughter decided to pour honey down the front of them. She decided she would help me with the use of cotton wool, cotton wool and honey make a very interesting mix.

Today she decided she wanted to wash the kitchen door using a baby wipe with soap on it. Yes it took me ages to get the soap smears out of the door but I guess she is at least helping. The thing that scares me the most is when she picks up my sweeping brush, obviously it is too big for her so when she swings round we have those comedy ducking and jumping movements to avoid being hit by the brush.


I guess it rather fitting then that we have been sent a Casdon little helper to review. It does come with assembly which I would advise assembling whilst your little one is not present as it was a real struggle with mine constantly running off with pieces or trying to assemble herself. Also on assembly do not be afraid to apply pressure to the main trolley else the uprights will pop out very easily.


Once assembled the trolley is very light weight and easy to push. We have had a few topple incidents as it is very lightweight but these are occurring less frequently now she is getting used to the trolley. When the trolley did topple non of the items fell out which I guess shows how good the trolley is at keeping cleaning pieces in.


The only real disappointment for my daughter was that there was no where for her to put her baby. A minor point really as it is not intended as a trolley for babies, but I guess to a 3 year old she wanted somewhere for her baby to sit whilst she cleaned up.


The Casdon little helper really does have everything your little helper needs to help clean up.

The Casdon Little helped was sent in exchange for a review. All words are my own opinion.

The Little Helper FunPod is very easy to out together. I managed to put the FunPod together by myself in around 10 minutes, I would say it would be easier to do with help.

First it's important to check that you have all the correct screws and pieces, open Podney and check

instructions

Once all is correct then begin.

1. Screw pieces b and c together. B is the back plate, it has the ridges on for the height adjustable board to sit in, the side pieces c, have small holes at the top which the handles screw into. Ensure that the ridges are lined up before assembling.

2. Then attach the other side panel c, to the back panel b.

3. Finally add the front panel a, this is the last large piece and has the slats on it to slot the height plate through.

My girls like to help and to be involved. We love cooking, baking and crafting but the problem is doing this safely. I always panic when my girls pull up a chair to help. What if the chair slips? What if it tips? What if they slip? They want to be involved though and I want them to be safe.

helping wash up

I came across the Little Helper FunPod and I was amazed. A safe way for children to be involved. The Little Helper FunPod comes flat packed but is incredibly easy to self assemble, I managed it in 10 minutes by myself, although it would have been easier with two. A separate post will follow shortly on how to assemble. There is a great variety of colours to choose from and is suitable from when a child can stand unaided to around 5 years old.

Standing at the worktop

The Little Helper FunPod has allowed my children to be at the same height as the work top and therefore help with most things I am doing. Not only this because they are at the same height as me they can see what I am doing, so there is no pulling on my leg to be picked up to see what is going off. I don't have to worry about them been sat on the work top, or balancing on a chair or footstool, they are safe in their FunPod.

The FunPod features a great stable base which means it is difficult to tip. I caught both of my girls trying to climb into theirs in order to be at the work top, and the FunPod did not even wobble. It stayed perfectly still, solid. This fills me with a huge amount of confidence in the safety of the FunPod.

admiring the FunPod

The FunPod has adjustable heights, which thanks to the unique lock in system, allow the FunPod to grow with your child. The high sides mean a child cannot fall out of the FunPod, provided the height is set correctly. This again fills me with great confidence in the safety of the FunPod.

look out

We have used the Little Helper FunPod for pretty much everything. The girls stand in them to watch what I am doing. They love to stand in them and eat. Baking and crafting is so much easier as they are able to easily access things without me worrying about them falling off the work top. In fact I often wonder how I managed without them. Although we were sent one for the purpose of a review I was so impressed I had to buy another so that both my girls have one. For me the Little Helper FunPod is a must have item for children.

The FunPod is easily wiped clean, light enough to be portable, yet heavy enough to stay solid not to tip. The dimensions are such that it takes up the space of a bar stool, and fits neatly under our breakfast bar.
