Design your own Peugeot
Ever fancied designing your own car? In the run-up to the BBC Children in
Need Telethon on Friday 16 November, Peugeot UK has created a website;
pudseysdreamwheels.co.uk where it is possible for anyone to create a car design
of their choice. In doing so it is possible to capture the image on mugs or
T-shirts and it should help to raise money for this great cause. Have a go!
Driving Miss Baby
We've all done it. The baby won't sleep so driven half crazy with desperation you strap your little princess (or prince) into their car seat and start the engine. Incredibly, the crying stops – but the problem is you are too frightened to stop the car, so you drive and drive and drive…
Now, some research by Mothercare shows that the average parent drives 1,322 miles a year getting their newborns to sleep. Mothercare, the UK's leading parenting and baby specialist, polled more than 1,000 parents to understand their driving habits. Over half admit they use their cars as a "drop-off-to-sleep" vehicle at least once a week – with the average journey starting at 9pm and lasting nearly half an hour. New dads get behind the wheel the most, while parents from London drive the furthest. To help parents in their quest for a good night's sleep Mothercare has recruited their youngest ever product tester – 17-month-old Zara Kazim from London – who has spent the past two weeks putting the retailer's range of car seats to the test against an Average Baby Sleep (ABS) rating. Topping the list was the Mothercare Malmo Car Seat, which sent Zara to sleep in just 10.37 minutes. The Sport Car Seat came second registering an ABS of 15.25 minutes followed by the Madrid Highback Booster (18.41 minutes).
