Poplico have an envy inducing range of out and about accessories for kids. The winning combination of fun and function will impress the grown ups too. Poplico founders Andreina and Maria were bored with their run of the mill Bugaboo canopies , so they designed a range of stylish and practical alternatives.

The unique polka dot reversible canopes are fun, stylish, water and stain repellent and allow you to mix and match the look of your Bugaboo. The entrepreneurial Mums went on to develop a range which now includes Mini Bags for scooters, great for children on the go.The practical bag fastens securely to the front of a scooter and can also be used as a tote bag by changing the position of the Velcro straps.

The All Around Foot Muff will keep babies toasty as the temperature drops but the easy access side zip fastening means you can lift baby out easily once you get back home.
