One reviewer said: "I absolutely love this, made walking with the pram so much easier. Make sure travel mug has a lid that is completely closed (some have like a sipping hole) you couldn’t buy a Costa or Starbucks and walk along with it because the coffee would go everywhere with the movement of the pram. Closed lid drinks only as you will quickly realise."
Pros

- This two-in-one pram cup holder is equipped with a mobile phone holder, which can hold milk bottles and mobile phones at the same time.

One reviewer said: "Wish I'd found this 6 months ago when my baby was born! He's not a big fan of sleep and still wakes about 6 times in the night and will not nap at home. I have to take him out in the pram and he would always wake the second I stopped moving. Not any more! I can stop for a coffee or a sit down, he doesn't wake whilst I'm waiting to pay in the supermarket, and I can even bring him in the house, switch this on and he keeps sleeping. Can't rate this highly enough. Still on first lot of batteries using several times a day and into my 3rd week now. So happy with this."

One reviewer said: "Absolutely love this little thing. So handy for taking out and about and for using in the house too. The main reason I bought it was for in the car and pram and it’s been great! Battery seems to last a good length of time, and it doesn’t take long to charge back up either. I have had so many people comment on it. Love how it can just clip onto anything and everything. Highly recommend buying one if your baby likes white noise! I’ve also found my baby likes a whole range of the different noises on it too. 5 stars from us, and I wish I’d had something like this for my other children too!"

The accessory for toddlers who love exploring
If you have multiple little children, getting out of the house can be even more difficult. This Lascal BuggyBoard is superb for families, as it allows your older child to hitch a ride on the back of the pram when they become tired.
One reviewer said: "I have two girls ages 2 and under, I was originally considering to get a double pushchair but my two year old refuses to sit in her old pushchair so I knew that wouldn't work. The item is easy to assemble, surprisingly sturdy and just a well made item. It is honestly worth every penny!"**
