			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is upon us, and with that of course comes the cold weather and chilly mornings. It&#8217;s not uncommon for little ones to start waking in the wee hours when the temperature drastically drops, so finding the perfect sleepwear is essential for keeping them snug and warm.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>With this in mind, we are excited to tell you all about the <a href="http://www.pepisnugglesuit.co.nz" target="_blank">Pepi Snugglesuit</a>. It is the first Kiwi-designed pure wool infant suit with built-in pants and a fold-over and roll-up foot option, giving little ones the comfort to sleep, crawl or walk. They are made from 100% Pure merino fleece, for warmth and comfort without bulk.  The suit also features a full front zip for easy nappy changing, and is machine washable.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>These are an ideal follow-on, or even an alternative to infant sleeping bags, particularly if your child is frustrated by the restrictions that a sleeping bag offers. The <a title="Pepi" href="http://www.pepisnugglesuit.co.nz" target="_blank">Pepi Snugglesuit</a> is designed to be worn over pyjamas, and the merino regulates body temperature ensuring your child is safe and comfortable. The sleepsuit ranges in sizes to suit children from 2 months, to 4 years old.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>This month at Kidsgear, thanks to Pepi Snugglesuit, we&#8217;re giving you a chance to win one of these fabulous sleep suits for your little one to keep them warm and cozy this winter. All you need to do is <a title="Pepi" href="http://www.pepisnugglesuit.co.nz/pepiclub.htm" target="_blank">click here to join Club Pepi</a>, and in the comments section, type &#8220;Kidsgear&#8221;, and you&#8217;ll go in the draw to win a baby suit size 00 (2-9m) valued at $139. Colour will be grey with red gingham trim. Competition ends midnight 30th June 2010, and is open to residents of NZ only.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Please be sure to &#8220;like&#8221; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pepi-Snugglesuit/116308421721821?ref=ts" target="_blank">Pepi Snugglesuit on Facebook</a> and show your support for another kiwi based business!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so you&#8217;re probably wondering&#8230; &#8220;What is a Onesie Bummsie?&#8221;. Quite simply, a <a title="OB" href="http://onesiebummsie.com/store/" target="_blank">Onesie Bummsie</a> is an extender that snaps onto the crotch of your childs onesie or bodysuit to make it longer. These are the absolute perfect accessory if you have a child wearing cloth nappies, or perhaps a taller child, as it will allow you to add more length to their existing onesies, thus creating a better fit. Ultimately this means you will save money by not having to buy larger sized onesies, which may also end up being ill-fitting in the arms and neck if it&#8217;s only the extra length that is required for your child.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>The Onesie Bummsie fits a large selection of different brands of Onesies/bodysuits, and is available in a multitude of sizes, colours, prints and fabrics. Shipping is available all throughout New Zealand and Australia.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>This month at Kidsgear, thanks to <a title="OB" href="http://www.onesiebummsie.com" target="_blank">Onesie Bummsie</a> you have a chance to win 1 of 3 Onesie Bummsie prize packs, each containing 3 plain Onesie Bummsies (short, medium, and long) &#8211; so this is a great opportunity to try them out for yourself! This competition is open to residents of New Zealand and Australia only, one entry per person. Entries close midnight 30th April 2010.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>All you need to do is visit the <a title="OB" href="http://www.onesiebummsie.com" target="_blank">Onesie Bummsie</a> website and complete a mini-hunt to find the names of 3 mystery items, complete the entry form below, and all correct entries will go in the draw for this months prizes.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>This competition has now ended.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kidsgear is pleased to introduce you to a brand new, New Zealand based business called <a title="Bub2tot" href="http://www.bub2tot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Bub2tot</a>. They are the exclusive supplier of an exciting product which is newly available in NZ, the Bub2tot seat.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Bub2tot seats are contoured beanbags that are specifically designed for newborns to toddlers/kids up to 30kgs, and are an alternative to plastic chairs or standard bean bags that are not suitable for a newborn. The seat consists of a base made from completely washable microsuede fabric, and 2 detachable and interchangeable top layers which allow you to convert the seat to suit your childs stage. The baby cover layer has a 3 point seat belt for newborns up to toddlers that just don’t sit still. When you think your little darling is ready to use this seat as a big person, simply swap the upper layer for the child cover. To meet New Zealand safety standards, safety zippers have been equipped to stop your curious little one from inspecting the insides of the bag. Bub2tot seats also come in a great range of colour combinations to choose from.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>This month at Kidsgear we are pleased to bring you another great competition thanks to Bub2tot! Just visit the <a title="Bub2tot" href="http://www.bub2tot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Bub2tot website</a> to find the answer to a simple question, complete the form below, and you will go in the draw to WIN a Bub2tot seat valued at $85.00*. This competition is open to residents of New Zealand only, one entry per person. Entries close midnight Wednesday 31st March 2010.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Also, as a special offer to our Kidsgear readers, Bub2tot are kindly offering a discount on the Bub2tot seat. Just quote the word &#8220;Kidsgear&#8221; when placing your order and you can purchase the Bub2tot seat for $75.00 + postage (usual price $85.00). This is a limited time offer, so don&#8217;t miss out!</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>*Prize colour choices are a coffee chocolate with sky blue upper, or a strawberry red with candy pink upper. Prize consists of an unfilled bub2tot seat (filling not included).</p>
<p><br/></p>
