We’re massive Lindam fans in this house. We have stair gates and safety equipment galore as the prices are so reasonable, the quality is superior to anything else, and it’s available at our local supermarket.

Parenting throws up so many curve balls and we’re constantly amazed at all the potential dangerous things Dexter seems to get into. It seems we’re constantly catching him playing float-or-won’t-float in the loo, investigating all the medicines or cleaning supplies stored in the kitchen, or copying daddy by thrusting his hands in the oven. We know he’s just exploring and his behaviour is normal - but it doesn’t stop the near heart attacks when we catch him in the act.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that not a week goes by where Craig and I won’t say to each other “I wonder if there’s something we can buy to stop him ” - and I can’t think of a single instance where Lindam doesn’t have it covered.

It’s not just safety equipment either. There are also tons of useful products that are designed to make life as a parent easier. The Lindam Backseat and Pushchair Organiser falls straight into this category. It’s one of those things you didn’t realise you needed until you have it… then you just can’t imagine life without it.

Backing up a little, Dexter suffers from car sickness. Despite us trying to make things easier by opening windows, providing plenty of fluids and stopping regularly, we’re often forced to pull over at service stations and perform strip washes and quick changes in hideous and poorly sanitisied disabled loos. I couldn’t possibly count the number of times we’ve had to wash the covers on his car seat and we keep a constant supply of Febreeze in the car. I feel so sorry for him.

The sickness seems to stem from boredom. You can physically see the point at which it overwhelms him as he goes a worrying shade of green and begins to tear up. It’s so traumatic for us as parents that we rarely attempt a car journey of more than an hour in total. Fishing around for emergency supplies when he’s vomited when you’re full throttle on the motorway is a nightmare. I’m hardly at my most flexible at 37 weeks pregnant, and Craig is obviously driving. There’s nothing more infuriating than watching his water bottle roll around on the floor at the back of the car and not being able to nab it for him.

When Lindam sent me the Backseat and Pushchair Organiser to review, I wondered if stuffing it full of some of his favourites toys would help. It’s also the perfect place to stow away a water bottle and those all-important baby wipes. There are tons of pockets to hold items of various dimensions so even his chunkier bits and bobs have a home for the journey.

Pushing my own seat (the passenger seat) back as far as it will allow means Dex has access to what he needs when he wants it. This is far better than Craig or I second guessing and shoving things in his lap when we’re at some traffic lights. I’m really pleased to report that it seems to work! We managed a trip from Reading to Windsor this weekend with no vomiting at all - just take a look at his little face.

The organiser attaches easily to the back of your seat - with clips that can be secured around the headrest and base of the seat. It feels nice and snug and will withstand lots of toddler tugging. Furthermore, you can attach it to most strollers given you have additional sidebar straps halfway down your organiser. You simply fold down the top zip component and shorten its length so it doesn’t hit the wheels. I can imagine this being hugely useful for short trips to the park.

Best of all is the price. A quick Google shows the organiser is available from a variety of places including Argos, Amazon, Boots, Tesco and Kiddicare. At Boots it’s currently a tiny £6.00 which is ridiculously cheap for such a useful bit of kit. It’s sure to grow with your child too given that older children still have an exhaustive list of travel must-haves - from tablets, to magazines, to books, to cameras… it’s definitely one of those products you’ll get a good 10 years + out of.

DISCLAIMER: I’m set to work very closely with Lindam over the next few months as we inch ever closer to a coveted ambassadorial role. This organiser was sent to me free of charge (although I’d have happily paid for it at that price!) in exchange for my thoughts.
