The poor light conditions of dark evenings and early mornings make many mothers and child minders feel unsafe and unseen as they push their prams and buggies through the streets. BUGLIGHTS - small lights specifically designed for prams and buggies - have been created by a London-based mother, in conjunction with hi visibility specialists PROVIZ, in order to solve this problem.
BUGLIGHTS are a simple way to illuminate prams and buggies, ensuring that they are seen by passing cars, cyclists and other road users. These discreet, small LED lights are easy to attach and remove and are a quick, simple and cost-effective way to make prams and buggies stand out.
Isabel Langly-Smith, the creator of BUGLIGHTS, says, ‘When I was pushing children around the streets of London I felt vulnerable and exposed, especially when crossing the roads. I could not find any buggy lights anywhere so I came up with the idea of BUGLIGHTS. Lots of my friends who are mothers felt the same way and are already feeling safer having bought their BUGLIGHTS.’

www.buglights.co.uk for £12.99 per pair. They are available in white, black, blue, red, yellow and green and are designed to fit all brands of prams and buggies.
To celebrate the 1977 Silver Jubilee, my sister and I went to a street party wearing white pleated skirts and white jumpers with red white and blue crowns around the bottom. The jumpers were knitted by my aunty, we both looked extremely cute, and that street party is one of my favourite childhood memories.
