Using Fun*das’ car seat covers will grant us 7 benefits:
They prolong the seat’s life span.They protect the upholstery from wear and stains.
They provide a safe and smooth sitting.
They are skin friendly – suitable for your baby’s skin, thanks to the cotton natural fibres.
They are breathable – cotton absorbs sweat better than polyester in baby car seats.
They are easily removable. Thanks to the covers, we avoid disassembling the original upholstery of the child retention system if we want to clean it, since we just touch the cotton cover. This avoids subsequent mistakes when assembling the seat’s covering that might affect the passenger’s safety.
They allow machine washing at 30 degrees.
They add a personal touch and aesthetics to the vehicle’s interior.
There are 4 profiles of different parents with specific purchase needs, according to a study edited by the AEI (Childhood Innovative Companies Association), coordinated by Asepri and developed by AIJU’s (Technological Institute of Leisure and Children’s products) technicians.
Active Parenting refers to those parents who claim upbringing is a unique experience. They value and take into account different upbringing theories and methodologies, they are very active online and become great opinion leaders within their communities.
Fashion Parenting – fashion is a part of their lifestyle, a behaviour that extends to everything that’s related with their children’s world. This parent profile follows well-established upbringing models in our society through the advice of relatives, specialised media and brands.
Rational Parenting refers to urban parents who have postponed parenthood until they reach an economic stability. They are more practical and thoughtful parents who choose balance without leaving their professional career aside. This maturity leads them to select products both from the aesthetic and from the functional point of view.
Techno Parenting refers to parents who use technology as an ally in their children’s upbringing. They simplify their parenting labour with apps, last generation products for babies and the latest designs and materials.
Fun*das wants to reach all kinds of new parents by offering a 24h purchase service through our online store, as well as through our multi-brand physical stores, and maintaining our high activity providing information in social networks. Additionally, we try to design and manufacture practical and aesthetic products at the same time – we do Smart shopping, we provide the customer with information the same way we would like information to be provided to us, while always being aware of where and how the apparel that caresses our babies is manufactured. Similarly, we also try to make our designs as unisex as possible while transpiring design and simplicity, and especially we want them to be useful and practical.
The Little Houses print was created with the collaboration of IF Architects
Fun*das bcn is always looking for originality and authenticity in their prints. For the new Winter collection, they asked IF Architects to create a special urban print.
IF Architects was born in 2005, in Mataro (Barcelona). This elegant architectural studio understands that part of their job is improve their environment. A beautiful mission that allows them to meet new people and take part in exciting new projects.
Who hasn’t drawn their house when they were kids? This print aims to bring back memories of that innocent kid who loves drawing houses.
Fun*das bcn loved their creation and added trendy colours to create the final print. The contrast of black and a greyish Green combines are the perfect addition.
You can find this exciting urban print in our selection of changing mat covers, nursery bags, car seat covers, footmuff and much more.
¿Did you know that all of Fun*das bcn products are made with high quality cotton?
Cotton is a naturally soft material that has many benefits for the delicate skin of your little ones. It is probably the most popular fabric for babies due to the comfort, durability and softness it provides.
Let’s take a look at the cotton properties:
Hypoallergenic: It means that the cotton has been tested and has properties that help prevent irritation, itching, allergies and infections. All our products are hypoallergenic, so you can relax knowing your baby’s skin is in good hands,
It’s breathable: Absorbs sweat and allows air to circulate freely, preventing fungus and infections.
Absorbs well water: we use cotton fabrics in our towels and ponchos for that reason. It is a practical material for drying your baby after a bath.
Strength and durability: All our products can be washed in the washing machine as many times as you need. It is tear proof and one of its characteristics is that it doesn’t expand. All our products have undergone a shrinkage control and have been treated to prevent lint, which ensures the best quality.
It’s versatile: The cotton fibres are very adaptable and depending on how they are woven they can create very delicate products such as swaddles to more sturdy products such as changing bags.
Are you decorating your baby’s bedroom? Are you looking for something different, with a homemade touch? In this tutorial, we explain how to make a simple but beautiful frame.
The result is a unique stylish frame, ready in no time!
Would you like to make your own? Let’s start!
How to make a decorative frame.
The materials you need are :
A piece of fabric (ours is from Fun *das Bcn Mint Arrow)
A wooden frame of 20 cm .
A piece of felt with a contrast colour
Needle, embroidery thread , scissors .
Pencil or pen
Fabric glue (optional)
Step by step instructions:
1) Place the fabric on the frame, keep it tight but be careful not too tighten it too much that the pattern looks distorted. Close the screw. TIP : Leave excess fabric outside the frame in order to adjust if needed during the following steps.
2) Handwrite your baby’s name on a small piece of felt. If you prefer you can use a computer to print the name with your favourite font. If you choose this option the name dimensions should be approximately 10×15 cm. The front used in the tutorial is Chasing Embers , you can download it for free following this link:
TIP : To remove all traces of pencil marks on the felt, put the printed name backwards. In that way, if there are any marks left they would be on the other side.
3) Cut the piece of felt as precise as possible with the help of scissors and cutter.
4) Put the name in the middle of the fabric and secure it with pins as if you were going to sew it.
If you prefer you can use fabric glue to simplify the process. If you do, make sure the edges of the letters are well glued. If you’re only going to put the name you can leave it in the exact center, if you prefer to add a birthdate, then put the name slightly towards the top margin.
5) If you have chosen to sew, use the right needle.
6) Do you want to add the date of birth or a short text underneath? Handwrite with a pencil or pen under the name and sew it with needlesTIP : To erase the pencil marks use a small soft toothbrush, some water and natural soap. Rub very gently and let it dry.
7) Put the fabric back in the frame, stretch it but without deforming it, and tighten the screw of the frame. To finish, cut the excess fabric for a perfect finish and hang it on the wall!
That is all! Your frame is ready! A great DIY accessory made with love.
This is a game for the little explorers in your house. Simple and easy to do and loads of fun.
Helps to stimulate children’s psychomotor development by having to insert all figures in the coloured felt. At the same they improve agility in their hands by using the buttons.
Material:
– Coloured felt
– Scissors
– 2 buttons
– Needle and thread
-Tape
Step by Step guide:
1- Sew the two buttons, one on each end of the tape .
2- Cut the colour figures. I’ve cut 3 pieces of each (I’ve used serrated scissors, which gives them a better look, in my opinion)
3- Fold the figures in half and make a little slot in the middle, wide enough for the button to go through it .
4- We already have our game ready: the game’s goal is to move all figures through the button (they learn to catch the button). Children also learn to use different shapes and colours. It’s also a good game to keep them focused.
What I like the most about this game is that is doesn’t take much space and you can keep it in a bag and carry it with you at all times.
