As mums, anything we can do to encourage our children to start the day with a healthy breakfast is a good thing.
Which is why we’re excited to introduce the new BIX app from Weet-Bix … that’s going to have kids everywhere lining up for a healthy breakfast.
How does the Weet-bix BIX App work?
Bix are like a trade-able currency. You collect Bix every day using your BIX app while you eat your breakfast by scanning the QR code on special Weet-Bix packs and use them to access unique experiences, instant vouchers,prizes and gifts.
To start collecting Bix you need the BIX app.
The Bix app can be downloaded from the App Store to use on your iPhone or go to weetbix.com.au/bix to sign up on your smartphone or computer.
Bix can even be used to gain access to exclusive content like videos of pro tips from teenage superstars – look for the ‘Your Turn’ stuff in the USE section of the app. Plus simply scanning the QR code every day also gives you entries into competitions.
In the Weet-Bix BIX App review, mums selected to be part of the Weet-Bix App review team will receive a 750g pack of Weet-Bix containing the QR codes your kids can start downloading. We’ll be asking mums and their families to download the BIX app, start collecting Bix, getting involved as much as possible and then post their review and ratings on this page. You might even like to get your kids to post a review for you!
Got a question about the Weet-bix BIX App?
During your review, you may have questions about what devices you can use to download the Weet-bix BIX App, how it works or you may have a general question. The Weet-bix BIX page on the Weet-bix site has a great Frequently Asked Questions section and we recommend you check this out first. You’ll probably find all your questions answered in a flash!
We have all loved weetbix . This new app is very interesting . I have it on my computer. What a great interactive way for children to enjoy their breakfast. And the prizes were great also. There was some $20 Roxygift vouchers iI bet mist young girls would live this. And movie vouchers. I’m just going to try and win myself a weetbix dowl.
My son got home on Friday and was so excited about the BIX app and then when we went through the prizes that you can achieve by scanning every day he was over joyed. I’m sure I’ll get reminded tomorrow to scan. I have also taken some nice photos that I will upload tomorrow.
The App itself was fast and easy to download. Very easy to use. Very easy to view prizes and it was lots of fun for the whole family remembering to scan the box. The kids aged 4 and 6, are getting more excited every morning as they get closer to claiming there desired prize.
It’s been over a week and my kids are still enjoying there weetbix and scanning for bix! 🙂 it is taking a while to save them and hoping that there are still some good prizes available by the time we get them! Will they add more do you think??!! Oh well keeping my kids happy anyways!
WOW! What a great way to encourage your children to eat a healthy breakfast! The app was easy to download and very user friendly even for the young ones. My children get up and the first thing they want to do is scan their weet bix- after they have finished of course! The prizes are great will be interesting to see what is available when we have accumulated enough bix! I will be telling my friends about this one! Thanks!
My daughter is enjoying scanning the barcode everyday we are getting closer to a prize so everyday she reminds me after eating her weet bix she is like mum can we scan it and loves that she will be getting a movie ticket soon so we will be able to go in the school holidays thanks MOM for the opportunity
We would love to be able to scan all weetbix consumed but for now we will scan once per day and the little ones love to scan,we love the app as this gets all breakfast consumed to be first to scan, thanks for the great start to our day.
This is a great app to download and very easy to use. My kids have loved the prizes and get very exited each morning to scan the weet bix box. I would recommend this to kids over the age of 10 because they are likely to value the prizes . Over all it is a great app.
This App was amazingly easy to download. My son was so excited when we had a box of Weet-Bix turn up on our door and we investigated how to use the App. So many exciting things to look forward to. The scanner is so easy to use for kids and adults alike. Basically just by scanning every day whilst enjoying our favourite breakfast cereal we get to become eligible for rewards and great prizes! I’ll keep everyone posted on any prizes we may win! Fingers crossed.
When I seen this advertised on the larger weetbix box I thought why not get the bigger box for the try out of the app etc for my boy. Well it was a let down. The app isn’t that great and like usual the prizes aren’t glamerous. My son does not really use or interact with the app anymore. It was easy enough to download but not being used so have deleted it since. Maybe for others it might be great but not in this family. Will still be eating weetbix though!
My kids eat week bix every morning for breakfast, and have done for years. When this promotion first become available i was really excited. However from the very beginning the app too ages to down load, some days the credits would work and other days the would not. It took ages for points to add up and then when I finally had enough to redeem a gift the app would not work and I lost my points.
We’ll they got rid of that suddenly!it was great to start out with and we received an awesome huge breakfast bowl but after that it was hard to get anything good.i also had to delete the app a couple of times.if they brought it back though I’d probably use it again
Well, I’ll be a little wary of future Weetbix promotions. This app turned out to be problematic in the long run – it kept hanging, so I had to delete it and download it again at least once or twice most weeks. And it didn’t always register a scan, but then would refuse to accept a second try… More importantly, they seemed to forget half way through that it was about kids. Prizes were often put up during school hours or late at night, so not accessible to my kids at least; and then the promotion ended fairly abruptly, with very few prizes available in the last couple of months, leaving us with hundreds of unredeemable points. My kids were disappointed, and this wasn’t at all what we thought we were promised when the promotion started. I won’t want to get my kids too excited about future Weetbix promotions in case they’re disappointed again.
I downloaded the app for my son who eats weetbix most days, but we struggle to get enough ‘bix’ to earn any prizes so it is disappointing for him. Not worth the time or effort…
My son loved the app like so many others. It would be great if they did this again as their consumers got a lot of fun and prizes from it. A great motivation for kids to have a healthy breakfast.
i like the app but it sometimes wouldnt load so had to change devices to get my points also there was hardly any good products for reasonable points ive manage only two pairs of swimming goggles and somesnooze icypoles but hey it was all free so really cant complain to much hoping to get enough points for a duffle bag and hope there available before it ends
Great promotion for the kids had my son eating 8 weetbix a morning!
Weetbix are a healthy, oldie and with the new sugary cereals available i felt that having this extra incentive makes it better for kids to engage with the product range and we got a few extras too!
We downloaded this after seeing it on MOM but have to admit its been forgotten in the breakfast rush, it would be good if you were committed to doing it all the time and had older children. And i have so many apps on my phone did I really need another one. Life is so hectic and everyone wants their bit of you.
Scanning barcode idea is great as I have one who loves weetbix, the other not as much but things are changing. He is having 2 now so fun app in all & kids love it 🙂
every time we checked there never seemed to be prizes available. they had some great prizes but we never were able to redeem them. Then i upgraded my phone and when i reinstalled the app on my new phone all the points were gone. a bit disheartened but should’ve thought of that beforehand i guess. great idea though and i will think ahead next time.
I did not apply to review the Weet Bix App, but I did download it two or three weeks ago. its a great app with some fantastic rewards and it does encourage my kids to eat Weet Bix in the morning so they can scan the bar code. They scan it every morning. Its a great app to have
Pig downloaded this all after reading all the reviews from here. Such a really great and fantastic idea. My daughter loves her weetbix. And even though she is three I get her to scan the codes. She’s finds it really fun and enjoyable. With a little help from me she knows how to use it while I watch her.
I must say. This is a genius idea as its something you can get your kids involved in daily and get them to eat weetbix since they are already pulling it out to scan the barcode. My 5 year old loved trying this app and ive lost track of how many times he has done this.
The app was easy to download to my Iphone, but really thats where it stopped. Only one of my kids like weatbix and she does not eat it every day. I thought the app might encourage them to eat more but they were not really interest and on the morning my daughter did eat them we usually forgot about the app.
I found it silly that a breakfast cereal became an app. My kids aren’t into phones, ipods etc with apps so it was on no use to us. They love weetbix but it just wasn’t something they connected with. I ended up deleting the app off my phone once I realised they didn’t care.
the weet bix app is great.
Its fun for the kids they can win some great prizes.
From movie tickets to bowling vouchers.
I think this is one app that will take off and everyone will want to get involved.
I will continue to enjoy the app and score some great prizes . .
I currently have the weetbix app on my phone its great. You can even receive prizes with no points at all. There were just some tickets to see jessica mauboy for no points. This makes it a fun and exciting app to have and a great one for all the kids.
I have had this app on my phone for months it is brilliant to have i have won some great prizes off it and i use it when ever the kids have weet bix for breakfast or sometimes i even have weet bix as a snack or breakfast this app was easy to download and so easy to use great idea weet bix have come up with

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
So happy to share the magic of baby powder after a messy day at the beach or park! It’s been a game changer for us.
Not quite as elaborate as the pop up tent, but a large towel with a hood has been great to discretely change out of bathers! It’s my husband’s go to now haha
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
