4moms Origami

I am super excited to announce that the 4moms origami stroller has officially landed here in the UK thanks to the distributor Kooltrade.
I first became award of this amazing stroller due to watching some geeky gadget program with the husband, immediately I leapt up and "googled" it, I watched videos on YouTube and researched this pram... I had to have it in my life I thought to myself! I was disappointed that at the time it was only available in the mighty U.S of A (how come our American friends have all the cool stuff?)
Time passed and I got over the fact that my impending arrival wasn't going to have a super charged gadget filled stroller.

I was invited to a press launch at the baby show in London at Excel when I was browsing the stands with my husband and fellow blogging queen Alice Baillie. The Origami was being pushed passed me...... oh boy I knew what that was, its the Origami stroller!!! So I asked the guy who was pushing it to fold it for me, this was the first time I have seen this stroller in all its glory and wow it did not disappoint!

 

Here's a video of what the origami stroller can do.....

Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser

Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser has arrived at our house and were excited to try it and put it to the test!

Our daughter uses soothers and we are forever having to sterilise them when she's spat them out on the floor or happily launched them across the room. We were very excited to receive this in the post from Tesco Mums Choice

It cleans and sterilises on the go in just 15 minutes!
Its so simple to use, you just add cold water and one Milton Mini Sterilising tablet.

Wait for the tablet to dissolve, add the unique sponges that absorb the solution and help to remove dirt add the soother.

Add the soother, replace the lid..... wait..... 15mins..... then hey presto! A sterile soother, no need to rinse and its dead simple to use.

It comes with a velco strap that is perfect for attaching the Portable Soother Steriliser to prams or like me we attached It to our changing bag!

My round up of the baby show London 2013

Yay I was at the baby show and I was more than excited as I was meeting up with a fellow yummy mummy alice bailie who I've know since school days. Apart from a social meet I was also Invited to Tommee Tippee's new product launch 'perfect prep'.

The last baby show I attended was back in may 2012 when baby Alex was only 6 days old. Many exhibitors I know of or have stumbled across, either by good old fashioned word of mouth or browsing websites and blogs.

New and innovative products I love, gadgets and gizmos but of course they have to work!
So here's some of my highlights and products to keep an eye on....

Chillipeeps.
A fab little product! i cant wait to give it a try...Introducing the multi-award winning chillipeeps teat that solves a common problem many people experience when out and about with young hungry babies and no clean sterilised bottle to use, by allowing a teat to be attached directly to a carton to feed your baby and many mineral water bottles to enable you to rehydrate your baby.
The idea was born In Yorkshire, when Claire had set off to a family party with her baby, she knew she had a carton of ready-made formula in the car but couldn't remember if she picked up the clean sterilised bottle. Knowing her baby would need a feed whilst she was out, she asked her husband to check for the bottle while she wondered why no-one had invented anything that could attach directly to the carton.

More information is available with a list of stockists on the chillipeeps website.

Neckerchew by cheekychompers

In my opinion a fantastic idea its basically a bib with a built in teether! fantastic for any baby who loves to throw tethers around, less washing and sterilising of dropped teethers for parents, win! They start from £9.99 more information on http://www.cheekychompers.com/

Tommee tippee's big reveal -revealed

So all became clear yesterday as I was invited to a very special launch for Tommee Tippee.
I am thrilled to announce Tommee Tippee's new product "Perfect Prep".
To me on first glance at the perfect prep, this is like the ultimate teas maid or should I say milk maid for any zombiefied parent at 4 am juggling a screaming hungry baby baby a kettle and a box of formula. It is specially designed to make preparing bottle easier, quicker and more accurate as it makes a fresh bottle at just the right temperature in less than two minutes! Yes you read it right 2 minutes!!
The benefits of the Perfect Prep,
It filters the water
It delivers a small "hot shot" of water to kill any bacteria in the feed and ensures the formula dissolves quickly and easily
It dispenses the correct amount of water at body temperature to make up the feed.

Perfect prep can be used with a rage of bottles both wide and narrow neck the unit can be adjusted for different height bottles. The filter can be purchased for £8.99 you wouldn't need to replace this till after three months if you used it for six large bottles a day.

I love the fact that perfect prep could be stored most places in your kitchen or if like me you would prefer to have it in your bedroom, meaning that your not walking around your house disturbing people (other children)!


It is available from the first week in May 2013 at £99.99 from Amazon & Babies'r'Us but is available to pre order at this weekends baby show for a bargain price of £66.66.

Here is the Discount Code
This code offers you the same 33% off the Perfect Prep Machine as at The Baby Show.
