• My rating: Easy
• My score: 1 hint

I needed a hint here, because the theme clue of ‘Special delivery’ wasn’t enough for me to identify the concept, even once I’d uncovered my first answer, SWING, by accident. This was unfortunate – if I’d have got CRIB or HIGHCHAIR or PLAYPEN I’m sure I’d have been fine. But SWING can mean many things, as can Special delivery, so I was left in the dark until I used that hint.

After that it was plain sailing, other than for the spangram; I could see that BABY was part of it, but needed to cross off a few more answers before I realized that GEAR was the other half of the word. But in summary: it was, um, child’s play.
