What you need to know about baby monitors
Keep your eye on bubs while they're fast asleep Becoming a parent is a rollercoaster of emotions and new experiences. You’ve spent nine months with your baby tucked safely in your belly, and now that they've made it Earth-side, you can’t wait to bring them home. When it comes to sleeping, you may have your mini-me in your room or nursery. At some point they will move into their own bedroom, and it’s quite natural to feel anxious about leaving your tiny human alone. That’s where baby monitors allow you to keep an eye and ear on your little one from anywhere in the house (outside too!). Baby monitors provide peace of mind for parents who worry that they might not wake when baby stirs or cries, signaling it’s time for a feed – or perhaps just stretching. In today’s tech-driven world, baby monitors are almost a given, and these days they come with lots of features. Here’s what you need to know when buying a baby monitor: Types of baby monitors Audio Sound-only monitors are essentially like a walkie-talkie – they’ll let you listen to your baby as they sleep. They focus on minimising background noise so you can hear cries and coos from the crib. Many audio monitors will light-up when your baby stirs, glowing brighter as their cries get louder. Video and audio Watch your baby – as well as hear them! These monitors work through a small camera mounted on the nursery wall or a flat surface beside baby’s crib. Night vision provides a clearer image when the lights are off, and touch-screen features let you zoom in or tilt the camera. Some can feed a live stream to multiple cameras, helping you keep an eye out from any room in the house. Wireless network Most monitors use radio-frequency transmission, but these digital monitors connect to your home Wi-Fi or mobile network. For example, the Owlet Cam lets you stream audio and high-definition video of your baby directly to your smartphone via the Owlet app. Some will send your device notifications when there has been a change in movement or sound. Key baby monitor features Like many technology-based products, baby monitors have advanced in leaps and bounds. Some have amazing add-ons which certainly make life easier, but there are some essential features you should consider: Rechargeable batteries . Pick a model that can recharge or be plugged in instead of relying on batteries.= Low-battery indicator . You can visually see when power is running low. Multiple and portable receivers . You may want a receiver that can move around the home with you. An extra handset is handy for when the other one is charging. Night vision. Unless you can see in the dark, a monitor with night vision will make it easier to see your sleeping baby – no matter what time of day or night it is. Light-up sound indicator . Look for a baby monitor with a light-up sound indicator, so if you’re on the phone, in a noisy room or don’t want to wake another sleeping family member, you can visually monitor your little one’s noise level. Sound and video interference filters . Background noises can make it difficult to hear your baby – and they’re not pleasant when amplified by a baby monitor. A sound activation feature will filter out white noise – and turn on when it detects your baby crying. DECT technology . Baby monitors that use common radio frequencies will pick up signals and interferences from all over the neighbourhood – not ideal. Digital enhanced cordless telecommunication devices (DECT) are more private because the frequency is less common than in other devices. Movement and room temperature sensors . This feature sounds an alarm when there has been no movement after a certain length of time, and when the room temperature goes above or below the range it has been set at. Talk-to-baby feature . Essentially like an intercom – this lets you soothe your baby from another room or communicate with your husband or wife when they’re with your little one. Lullaby and night light . Some monitors will play a tune to help your baby get to sleep. Some will also give off a soft glow which babies can find comforting in a dark room. Camera angle and mount . For monitors with video capabilities, consider where you want to place the camera (on a flat surface, in a clamp, on the wall) and whether you can remotely control the viewing angle. Multiple camera support . Set up multiple rooms with cameras that you can turn on or off as needed. Get a good night’s rest – sort of Being a parent can be stressful enough without running back and forth to check on your sleeping baby – especially at two AM! For some, a baby monitor might not be necessary – if your home is small for example – but parents looking for peace of mind should consider using one. There are models available that offer a combination of features, like Oricom’s Smart HD Dual Camera Baby Monitor . The smart baby monitor features dual lenses for standard and wide-angle viewing. Simply pair the camera to the FREE HubbleClub for Partners app, and you can view both feeds simultaneously on your smart device. Lull your little one to sleep with pre-loaded nature sounds, lullabies & audiobooks, soothe them with your familiar voice using Two-Way Talk, and even track nursery room temperatures with the touch of a button to ensure your newborn is always comfortable. The Oricom HD Dual Camera shoots in 1080p HD and with pristine infrared night vision, this baby monitor provides crystal clear monitoring, even in total darkness. The OBHDUAL is the reliable friend that makes bedtime easier for the whole family, with the camera feed viewable on your Smart Device at home (not included).

How to Choose the Best Baby Monitor The right baby monitor can ease your mind and simplify your routine – but finding the best one comes down to a few key features: Simple setup and use A good monitor should be easy to install and intuitive to navigate, whether it uses buttons, a touchscreen, or connects to your phone. Smartphone-compatible models should pair quickly and reliably. Reliable connection Whether it runs on a local network or Wi-Fi, a baby monitor should stay connected without dropouts – even in larger or multi-storey homes. Strong battery life Look for a model that lasts at least 10–12 hours on a single charge, so you’re not constantly reaching for the charger. Clear video and audio You want to see and hear your baby clearly. Crisp audio, a good camera, and night vision all help give you peace of mind.

Baby Swimming Lessons: When to Start & What to Expect
Baby Swimming Lessons: Building Water Confidence from an Early Age Living in New Zealand means water is never far away! We've got beaches, we've got lakes and we've got rivers, not to mention our swimming pools and backyard water play. Learning how to feel confident and safe around water is an important life skill for our Kiwi kids. Introducing your little one to the water from an early age can be a lovely experience for the whole family. Swimming lessons can support coordination, movement and confidence, while also giving parents and caregivers a special opportunity to have fun, connect and learn together. Most importantly, early positive experiences around water can help lay the foundations for lifelong water safety. Water Safety New Zealand says drowning remains a leading cause of death for New Zealand children aged under five, making active supervision and age appropriate water skills incredibly important. Start with water confidence Your baby's first introduction to water doesn't need to happen at a swimming pool. Bath time is a great place to start. Allow your baby to enjoy splashing, kicking and gradually becoming familiar with water around their face and body. As they become more comfortable, trips to the local pool can introduce them to a completely different environment with new sounds, sensations and movements plus a whole lot of fun! The aim at this stage isn't to turn your baby into a swimmer. It's simply about helping them feel happy and secure around water. When can babies start swimming lessons? There isn't one set age that suits every baby or every swimming programme. Some specialist swim schools offer parent and baby classes from around three months, while others begin from six months. The best option is to check the starting age and requirements of your chosen swim school. Finding swimming lessons in New Zealand If you're looking for somewhere to start, there are plenty of great options. Dean Greenwood Swim School has several Auckland locations and offers programmes ranging from babies through to adults. Hilton Brown Swimming offers lessons for babies, children, teenagers and adults across locations in Auckland, Waikato, Hawke's Bay and Manawatū. Their infant programme focuses on water confidence, movement, safety awareness and introducing skills such as floating. Many local leisure centres and community swimming pools also offer learn-to-swim programmes for babies, preschoolers, school aged children and even adults, so it's totally worth checking what is available close to home. What happens at baby swimming lessons? Baby swimming lessons are usually much more about water familiarisation and confidence than traditional swimming. A parent or caregiver will generally get into the pool too, helping baby feel secure while the instructor introduces activities through play, songs and movement. Depending on your baby's age and the programme, lessons may gradually introduce skills such as: Becoming comfortable with water around the face and head Kicking and moving through the water Floating and rolling Breath control and gentle submersion Moving towards or returning to a safe position Learning to feel calm and confident in the pool It's also valuable learning for parents. You'll become more confident handling your baby in the water and learn ways to continue practising positive water experiences together. And remember - swimming lessons build skills and confidence, but they never replace active adult supervision around water. Tips for making swimming lessons easier Give yourself plenty of time Getting yourself and a baby changed can sometimes take longer than the swimming lesson itself! Arrive early enough that you don't need to rush. Family changing rooms are especially helpful, and if your pool allows strollers inside, having somewhere safe for baby to sit while you get changed can make things much easier. Pack for afterwards Swimming can be tiring, particularly for little ones. Have everything ready for a feed or snack afterwards depending on your baby's age. Keep them warm Moving from a warm swimming pool into a cooler changing room or outside air can feel like a big temperature change. Have a cosy towel and dry clothing ready so you can get your little one comfortable quickly. Bring another pair of hands If you're taking more than one child to lessons, another adult can make changing, feeding and getting everyone safely to and from the pool considerably easier. It can totally be done with one caregiver if you're game... but four hands are easier than two. Don't worry if every lesson isn't perfect Some days your baby might love the pool. Other days they may be tired, hungry or simply not interested. That's completely normal. Building water confidence is a gradual process, so keep the experience positive rather than trying to push through when they've had enough. What to pack for baby swimming lessons A little preparation makes getting in and out of the pool much easier. Baby swimwear Start with comfortable baby swimwear and swimming essentials suitable for your little one's age and the type of swimming you'll be doing. Our new Baby Swimwear Collection brings together the swim essentials you need for trips to the pool, beach and summer days by the water. Shop our full range of Baby Swim Essentials here Swim nappies Most pools require babies who aren't toilet trained to wear an appropriate swim nappy, so check your swim school's requirements before your first lesson. A warm towel A soft towel or hooded towel is ideal for wrapping baby up as soon as they leave the water. A change mat Pool changing rooms aren't always the easiest place to change a baby, so having your own change mat can be incredibly useful. The Purely Baby Disposable Change Mats are particularly handy for swimming lessons because you can create a clean changing surface and simply dispose of the mat afterwards. Don't forget Pack a few extra essentials too: Dry clothes Spare nappies Wipes A wet bag or waterproof bag for wet swimwear Milk, a bottle or snacks depending on baby's age Your own swimwear and towel - surprisingly easy to forget! Water safety always comes first Swimming lessons are valuable, but no swimming lesson or floatation device can replace close adult supervision. Water Safety New Zealand recommends keeping babies and young children within arm's reach whenever they're in or around water. This applies everywhere - the swimming pool, beach, bath, paddling pool, lake or river. Stay focused on your child rather than relying on lifeguards, older siblings or floatation toys to supervise them. It's also important to look for potential water hazards around your own home. In New Zealand, residential pools that can hold water to a depth of 400 mm or more are subject to requirements for physical barriers designed to prevent unsupervised access by children under five. Enjoy the water together Learning to swim is a journey, and it begins long before your child is swimming independently. Positive bath times, trips to the pool and regular swimming lessons can all help your little one develop confidence and respect for the water while creating plenty of special memories along the way. Keep it fun, follow their pace and, above all, stay close whenever water is around.

Best Travel Strollers in NZ: Lightweight & Compact Picks for 2026
Travelling with a baby or toddler is much easier with a lightweight, compact stroller. Whether you’re navigating airports, hopping on and off trains or exploring a new city, the right stroller can make all the difference. We’ve compared some of the best travel strollers available in New Zealand, including the Stokke YOYO3, Nuna VIAA CABN, Nuna TRVL dubl and Edwards & Co Lucci. Why Choose a Travel Stroller? Everyday strollers tend to be packed with extra features that are great for everyday usage but can make them more bulky. When it comes to travel, compact and lightweight is the way to go. Travel strollers are designed to be easy to carry, fold, and store – perfect for life on the move. What to Look For Foldability: Look for a stroller that’s easy to fold – ideally one-handed. Weight: A lighter stroller is easier to lift into car boots, overhead lockers, or up stairs. Compact Size: Check the folded dimensions – the smaller, the better for travel. Portability: Is there a carry strap or handle? This makes a big difference on the go. Manoeuvrability: Smooth steering and good suspension can help you navigate tight spaces and bumpy pavements. Comfort: Reclining seats, padded cushions, and a sun canopy keep your little one happy on the move. Storage: A basket underneath for snacks, nappies, and must-haves is a handy bonus. Accessories: Travel bags, rain covers, and cup holders can all add extra convenience. Plane Travel Suitability: If you want to carry your stroller onboard, check its folded dimensions. IATA (the International Air Transport Association) suggests 56 x 45 x 25 cm for carry-on. But cabin baggage and stroller rules vary between airlines, routes and aircraft. Always check directly with your airline before flying. You may also be able to use your stroller right up to the gate and have it stored in the hold – ask your airline in advance. Even strollers designed to fit in overhead lockers may need to be gate-checked on full flights. Our Top Picks for Travel Strollers STOKKE YOYO3Weight: 6.2 kg (6+ pack)Folded Size: 52 x 44 x 18 cm The YOYO3 folds with one hand and opens in seconds – true to its name. Its compact size makes it a favourite for airline travel, and it’s compatible with a bassinet, newborn pack, or capsule. The slim frame and smooth steering are ideal for city life, and it’s customisable with colour/seat packs in a range of colours. It even has a padded shoulder strap so you can carry it hands-free. Perfect for: Urban adventures and families who travel often. NUNA VIAA CABN Weight: 7.6 kgFolded Size: L 20 x W 42.5 x H 62 (52 without armbar) cm The Nuna Viaa Cabn is compact, lightweight and designed to meet IATA cabin guidelines, fitting into the overhead locker. With a quick, compact fold, smooth manoeuvrability and all the premium details you expect from Nuna, it’s ready for airport dashes, city exploring and everyday outings. Perfect for: Those who want a high-end, luxurious stroller with all the comfort of a full-size model. NUNA TRVL DUBLWeight: 12.8 kgFolded Size: L 41 x W 78 x H 74 cm Travelling with two? The Nuna TRVL dubl offers the convenience of a travel stroller in a side-by-side design. At 78cm wide, it's designed to move through standard doorways and narrow spaces, while each seat reclines independently - handy when one child wants to nap and the other wants to see the sights. It folds one-handed, stands on its own when folded and is surprisingly lightweight for a double stroller. Perfect for: Families travelling with twins, a baby and toddler, or two young children. EDWARDS & CO LUCCIWeight: 7.3 kgFolded Size: 57cm H x 46cm W x 24cm D The Lucci’s one-handed auto-fold makes travel easy. Ergonomic seat with 3 recline options including lie-flat.

Shop stroller accessories Which Travel Stroller Is Right for You? The best travel stroller depends on where you're going and how you'll use it. Flying frequently? Folded size and weight may be your priority. Exploring cities? Look for smooth steering, suspension and a comfortable recline. Travelling with two children? A lightweight double stroller can make getting around much easier. Shop our range of strollers online, or visit Dimples Newmarket or Christchurch to fold, carry and test-drive them for yourself. Our team can help you find the best stroller for your family and your next adventure. Happy travels! FAQs Can you take a travel stroller on a plane?Often, but it depends on the airline, aircraft and stroller's folded dimensions. Some compact strollers may be accepted as cabin baggage, while others need to be checked or left at the aircraft door. What size stroller fits in an overhead compartment?There isn't one universal size. Many airlines use cabin-bag dimensions around 56 × 45 × 25cm as a general reference, but individual airline rules apply. Can a travel stroller be used as an everyday stroller?Yes. Many modern travel strollers offer features such as reclining seats, good suspension, storage baskets and sun canopies, making them practical for everyday use as well as holidays. And they don't take up too much space in your car boot. However you should consider how much storage and all-terrain capability you need before choosing one as your main stroller. Travel strollers typically have smaller wheels making a slight less smooth ride. Can you use a travel stroller from birth?Some travel strollers are suitable from birth thanks to a lie-flat seat, newborn insert, bassinet or compatible infant capsule. Always check the manufacturer's age, weight and configuration guidelines for the specific stroller.
