I have been sent a cracking product to review; albeit it has a funny name. It’s a BubbleBum; please note twin boy can’ even say this out loud without falling over in hysterics and clutching his backside. In short it is an inflatable car seat; although again Twin boy says it could also be a trump as that is what happens when your bum produces a bubble. He is only five, there is hope for him yet.
But in short this is a great addition to have if like me you end up taking other people’s kids places or bribing people to let your little leg hangers go to their house for a play date.
The technical bit: BubbleBum is a really lightweight, inflatable car seat suitable for ages 3 – 11, it is clearly ideal for holidays where you rent a car as you can just pop it in your handbag and it is ideal for carpooling. Both Twin boy and twin girl have plonked their bottoms on the BubbleBum in the last month and both declare it to be rather comfy.
Its pretty famous as well, it has been on This Morning and most recently won the Ireland Ulster Bank Business Achiever Award for Best Start Up Business 2011. But as far as I am concerned it makes my life easier.
Recently when Twin Girl went to a friends for a play date after school I had to balance her car seat on top of the buggy with book bags, lunch boxes and coats so I could leave it at the classroom for her friends mother to pick up when she collected them later. Then last week when Twin Boy was lucky enough to be invited to a friend’s house he just carried his BubbleBum in its bag singing ‘I have a bubble in my bum’ all the way to the playground. Do I need to explain which was easier?
It retails at a reasonable £29.99 but I do have one to give away to a reader.
Should you wish to enter the competition to win your very own BubbleBum all you need to do is leave a comment below, if you want to enter twice then tweet the link out cc-ing me and/or facebook the link – simple really.
The competition will end on April 30th and the winner will be chosen at random by twin girl grabbing a name out of a hat.

I want to win one of those as it drives me mad you can buy a booster for £5 in tesco but you go abroad and they charge you 30 euros plus for the pleasure of renting each time! xx
What an excellent idea! Yes please 😀
Very cool indeed. I could certainly make use of one of those as we’re always out and about and switching cars etc.
What a fab idea. This would be so useful. As my kiddiwinks have a better social life than me!!! We are always having to cart around car seats 🙂
That’s a great idea! Storage space is so important to us as we live on a Narrowboat. One of these would be very handy!
what a name! 😀
sounds like such a good product though, could do with one of those.
tweeted the link as well 🙂 ( via @MissHoppy ) x
Brilliant! Can’t afford two of them for our hols though, so I’d love to win one….! off to tweet now 🙂 @stephc007
What a genius idea! Pick me, twin girl 😉
Twin girl would like to point out that as much as she loves shoes she will not be bribed! 🙂
I’m new to your blog – love this post, but what’s with the title? Seems to add a whole new meaning to the phrase: “My compass must have been out…”
Glad you like!
and whats wrong with a bubble for my bum? 🙂
Sounds great @wendymcd83

I came all this way over thinking I would be able to find some balanced review of buttock implants for the discerning Northern woman and find it’s all about car seats. How utterly disappointing…
Seriously – it sounds great. Put me name down fer one entry, our Northernmum
love the name!
