Buying organic is one thing, but snapping up a temperature-controlled babygrow made of fabric developed by NASA? Surely that’s out of this world.
Not at 37°. The brainchild of Karen Welman (a nominated Inventor of the Year) and textile designer Suzie Holland, the label serves tots with vests, blankets, playsuits and pyjamas in clever cloth.
The machine-washable fabric — usually used in extreme sportswear — stores heat from the skin and releases it when needed, maintaining a constant average of 37°C. Thus Baby is never too hot nor too cold. Medical endorsement is guaranteed: Great Ormond Street Hospital’s paediatric nurses are fans.
Kit little astronauts out in this lot and you’ll all be over the moon.
