The Perfect Gift for Mums

the perfect gift for mums and family
/0 Comments/in /by

As a mum, I am always searching for the perfect gift for my mum friends and also family members. I always like the gifts I give to be unique and special. I often opt for candles and wax melts, as I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t love them, but I must admit that I often worry about the harmful chemicals these candles give off which of course, isn’t ideal for babies or children.   

As many of my friends also follow a clean living or vegan lifestyle, I, of course want to respect this when buying for them. So, I was really excited to find Joe and Anna Marketplace through MyBump2Baby. 

At MyBump2Baby we were really impressed the quality of this brand and the wide range of products and fragrance’s available as gifts for other mums and also for personal use.  

We were so impressed to see such a great range of candles and melts in lovely different fragrances that you often don’t see on the high street like Citrus and Basil, Tobacco & Oak, Plum & Patchouli and Fig & Vetiver, to name a few!  

Handmade Wax Melts

It is the home of a collection of candles and prints that hopefully meet and delight you for all of your occasions. The apothecary styled, beautifully designed, affordable and sustainable candles have a serious scent which will hopefully provide something for everyone– all at prices you will love.   

Joe and Anna Marketplace specialise in natural wax products made from natural coconut and soy wax. This means that they burn cleanly and do not release harmful fumes and chemicals like many paraffin wax products do. They naturally fill your home with an incredible, consistent aroma without the worry of young children inhaling harmful chemicals.    

   

Natural Coconut and Soy Wax 

The natural coconut and soy wax is made into beautifully designed candle jars, and equally beautiful melts. The Apothecary style jars are elegant and perfectly blend into any home décor. Each candle is hand poured in England with wicks which are made from 100% natural fibre cotton which are expertly straightened and centered to ensure an even and clean burn.   

Joe and Anna Marketplace only use natural products from renewable sources, which as a mum, puts my mind at ease, that any fumes coming from these are just the powerful long –lasting scents. I also love the fact that when you purchase from Joe and Anna Marketplace, not only are you supporting someone’s small business but you are also contributing to a cleaner living lifestyle and helping our planet in the long run.  

  

The Perfect Gift for a New Home  

Each candle jar is topped off with a lid to help preserve the fragrance when not in use and then beautifully packaged into a reusable hessian gift bag, making it the perfect gift for a new home, birthdays, thank you gifts… basically any occasion, solving all my gift buying dilemmas!     

Natural Wax Melts…   

If you prefer a wax melt rather than a candle then the Coconut and Soy Natural Wax Melts are exactly what you need. Again, hand poured in England, each 40g pot is made using the natural coconut and soy wax blend and premium fragrance oil to give a long lasting scent to your whole room. If you aren’t sure what scent to get then you can purchase a wax melt pot of all 8 fragrances to test out and find your favourite. You can then save 20% by turning this into a monthly subscription meaning you’ll never run out!    

Handmade Natural Burner  

Amazingly, they can also supply you with a bespoke and handmade natural stoneware burner! Designed by Joe and Anna no two burners are ever the same. A skilled potter with over forty years of experience makes them and the stoneware is very rustic and organic in natural and packaged in the beautiful hessian sacks. They are also dishwasher and oven safe and able to withstand any indoor or outdoor temperatures, meaning you can display this unique burner wherever you like.    

 

Alongside the candles and wax melts Joe and Anna Marketplace also supply Art and Prints to decorate your home with the cool and trendy simplistic apothecary style. It’s great to be able to find the perfect New Home Gift or Birthday Gifts all in once place for really good prices, and free delivery too!    

If you are looking for Luxury, High Scent, Natural, Phalate and Paraben Free, Vegan friendly products and want to show support for small business then you have to visit their website or check our their Facebook.   

We have given Joe and Anna Marketplace our recommended on badge based on our own personal experience of using the product. 

Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles Review

/0 Comments/in , /by

When you have a new-born life can be hectic especially with first babies your life can be turned upside down in some of the most beautiful ways, but there are the harder times when your baby is crying uncontrollably and try as you might nothing you do seems to settle them. It can be really hard to know if you’re doing the right thing.

When you’re pregnant you have pre-natal classes that you can attend that help focus you on your labour and birth but no one and no class can ever really prepare you for life with a fully dependant new-born. We have found that most first time parents (and even second and third time parents unless it has been an issue) had never heard of most infant complaints such as Colic unless they had been told after weeks of suffering from a health professional. In reality Colic is one of the most common infant complaints and there have been 1,000’s of products created to help alleviate the symptoms.

As you all know MyBump2Baby are dedicated to finding and reviewing the best early years products on the market and we will strive to give our most honest review. We were delighted to have been sent Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles, and as such we have asked three independent MyBump2Baby followers to test the product for us.

Firstly what do Dr Brown’s® have to say?

Dr Brown’s® has over 20 years’ experience helping parents combat windy colic and   has recently launched a new enhanced design bottle – Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles.

Not all vented bottles are created equal. Dr Brown’s Options+® unique internal vent system continues to create 100% vacuum-free feeding, which is clinically proven to help reduce windy colic. This is what makes Dr Brown’s® the number one choice of UK Health Professionals for the relief of colicky symptoms.

Dr Brown’s® Options+™ grows with baby, allowing easy removal of the vent system when baby no longer experiences feeding problems or parents want the convenience of a teat-vented bottle.

What is Colic and how are Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles meant to help?

Colic is a build-up of gas bubbles in a baby’s stomach commonly referred to as wind. Now these gas bubbles can be painful and incredibly difficult to pass and the trouble with bottle feeding is that conventional bottles can cause air bubbles and negative pressure to build throughout feeding causing a baby to take in more air during each feed.

Created by a doctor (hence the name) in 1996, Dr Brown’s® were the first baby feeding bottles to feature an internal vent system.  The vents were designed to eliminate the vacuum and reduce negative pressure and air bubbles being formed. The new Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles feature a new breast like teat shape enabling a better latch and perfect for parents wanting to swap from breast to bottle and back again. We were sent the Deluxe Starter Kit to review which consists of:

1x 270ml WIDE-NECK Baby Bottle

2x 150ml WIDE-NECK Baby Bottles

3x Level 1 Silicone Teats

2x Level 2 Silicone Teats

2x Level 3 Silicone Teats

2x Cleaning brushes.

So what did our independent reviewers think, has the Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles helped with your baby’s colic?

Sarah- 32- From Liverpool-  First time mum –

“Although I don’t think that it completely cured my Son’s colic, I do think with the Dr Brown’s Bottle has helped to increase the amount my son will take at each feed which is incredible in comparison to other bottles, he seems less agitated during the feed which I can only deduce is due to less built up gas.”

James-39- From Chester – 2nd time parents of twins –

“Having a 3 year old little girl and new-born twins has been challenging especially with them both suffering with colic. We have found the night times to be the hardest, my wife had tried her very best to breast feed and so what we wanted most was a bottle that would mimic the breast. With the twins having colic we had found it incredibly hard to find a bottle that could do this and help with wind. I can only praise the Dr Bown’s bottles. We introduced the bottles and it was clear, almost immediately, how much of a difference the vent made to the feed. Usually, after a feed, the twins would take a good hour to settle down to sleep. They would squirm and cry out, it was hard to watch and frustrating to manage, especially during the night when you’re already exhausted. We found that the vent in the bottle stops the milk from forming too much air and so their tummy isn’t filling with gas making for more contented and settled babies. My wife also found that the teats were the most soft and natural like feel she had found and found that our smaller fussier twin latched on better. 10/10”

Isla-26- From Lancashire- First time Mum-

“They stopped my daughters griping wind attacks completely. However I found at first they were a little tricky to clean but after some time and learning how to use the brush correctly I got there and now I’m that used to it I don’t even bat an eyelid and all the parts. What I really liked was the different flow level teats; with using Gaviscon as well the higher teat levels meant that the flow was always consistent. They did help enormously with my daughter’s wind problem and I really noticed the difference when I tried (out of interest) to switch back to my previous brand of bottle. I will definitely continue using the Dr Brown’s brand”

Are the Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles Value for Money?

Although slightly more expensive than you’re conventional bottle brands we find with all the added benefits and as the bottle is designed to grow with your baby, it holds a total of 9oz with lots of room above the maximum quantity that YES it is. A lot of other bottles would overspill if you were to put a full 9oz into it and you end up buying more. So when looked at from a benefit point of view spending a little more once can help save money in the long run. Plus prevention is better than cure!

Due to the clinically proven health benefits and high quality of the product coupled with the feedback from our followers we have awarded Dr Brown’s® Options+™ Anti-Colic Bottles – the recommended on MyBump2Baby badge.

BabyLed Spreads Review – Healthy Food for a Fussy Toddler

Babyled spread review healthy food for a fussy toddler
/2 Comments/in , , /by

As you can imagine our email inbox is full of brands wanting to work with us to find out our honest feedback on products with a view to share them with parents using MyBump2Baby. Our time is very limited so we have to pick products and brands to review that we feel will be most beneficial to our readers.



Initially when I was first contacted by BabyLed Spreads, I thought it was a fantastic idea and I thought the BabyLed spreads were just for babies but after liaising with the owner he informed me they are also a perfect healthy food for fussy toddlers which was ideal for us and a lot of mums I have spoken to recently.

BabyLed Spreads Review – Healthy Food for a Fussy Toddler

I am one of those mothers that often suffers with massive mummy guilt when it comes to meal times. George is not a “veg lover” which means a lot of my time is spent disguising vegetables by hiding them in the middle of mash or just giving him what he asks for which isn’t ideal as it is usually fish fingers, chips and beans. I was really excited to try these spreads and see if they made our lives any easier and healthier.

My Review of Baby Led Spreads based on a Fussy Toddler

I love the fact that the baby led spreads are simply ordered online and they come straight to your door making it a completely simple and painless process. You can order either 18 jars for £12.00 (67p per jar) or 9 jars for £6.50 (72p each) You also have the option for dairy free jars which is fantastic if your little one has an intolerance.

At MyBump2Baby we are huge supporters of the Charity Bliss and seeing that BabyLed Spreads also supports the charity made me very happy! For every 9 jars sold, BabyLed spreads donates 30p to Bliss and for every 18 jars sold 60p is donated.

 There are 6 flavours;

  • Ricotta & bean
  • Avocado, red pepper and tomato
  • Spicy pumpkin and chickpea
  • Red lentil and sweet potato
  • Green pea, rocket and dill
  • Carrot, Apple and Hummus

The great news about these jars is that they are small enough to shove in your handbag and there are literally no rules with them, they can be eaten warm, cold, mixed in with pasta, spread on toast, as a dip or whatever you fancy. These spreads can be as versatile as you need them to be and they can just become part of your everyday life without changing your routine, if anything these BabyLed spreads have only made my life easier.

 



Mealtimes with BabyLed Spreads with a Fussy Toddler

I wanted to make sure the week I reviewed the BabyLed Spreads was just a normal busy week in our household so I could see if they fitted in to our busy lives without spending time in the kitchen trying to make different recipes with them.

The owner of baby led spreads has kindly added recipes to our Baby weaning recipe section for you to have a look at and I will be making these once I get my next batch ordered but it was important to me that the BabyLed spreads are quick and easy as well as being healthy.

 

So what did I use the BabyLed Spreads for;

The week I used BabyLed spreads, I found meal times and ideas a lot easier and quicker. George had the BabyLed spreads mixed with pasta, spread on toast, as dips with carrot and cucumber and even with some crisps when he just fancied a snack in the afternoon.

 

 

Would I purchase BabyLed Spreads again for my Fussy Toddler?

100% yes, these spreads have taken the pressure off me trying to cook and hide veg within George’s dinners and George really enjoys them. There wasn’t one he didn’t like (or I didn’t like) and I am really looking forward to using them more.

Who do I think they would work well for?

I think these should be in every parent’s cupboards, you can use them as a go to when you are just wanting to whip something up quickly and the long life on them means that you can just use them to suit your needs.

I think these would be great to take on holiday too as they are small and compact and offer you that support with food should you need it. The pots work great on the go too which means you can stick some in your changing back and use them when you need to.

Baby Weaning

I used the Bumbo Multi-seat for baby weaning, you can read my review here



The Bumbo Multi-Seat Review

The Bumbo Multi-Seat Review
/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Bumbo Multi seat was definitely a product I massively underestimated. I got the Bumbo seat when I was pregnant and when you are pregnant with your first baby you struggle to imagine having a baby in your arms, let alone having a 5-month old little monster sat in an actual seat.  I decided to write up the Bumbo Multi-Seat review for other mums and dads looking for a reliable seat that can be used from an early age.



MyBump2Baby’s Bumbo Multi-Seat Review

OK OK – I hold my hands up now; I admit it – “I underestimated how much use I would get out of this fantastic seat” THERE I SAID IT!! The fact it was lightweight and small in size meant it was mega easy to transport and it ended up coming everywhere we went. There is so many great features and benefits to the Bumbo Multi seat.

The Bumbo Multi-Seat Review

3 in 1 Seat

The 3 in 1 seat means it can be used as a floor seat, a booster seat or a feeding chair. It has fully adjustable height & strap settings to ensure it is not only safe but has a longer lifeline than other baby products.

Removable Tray

The seat comes with a fully removable tray which is handy depending on what activity you are using it for. George had a toy that used to stick to the tray and he sat happily for ages playing with it. It was really handy when I was trying to cook dinner or trying to catch up on a few household chores.

OOO Secret Compartments

Don’t you just love secret compartments – I honestly am like a child myself. The Bumbo has a handy storage unit under the seat, this is where I often put wipes and a bib.



Length of Life

The seat can be used from 5 months – 3 years (we did use it at around 4 months old as that is when George began weaning) George still uses the seat now and he has just turned 2, it is extremely easy to clean and we often transported the lightweight seat from place to place. We used this as George’s highchair for a long time as it doesn’t take up much space. The seat lasts a very long time and has a removable foam cushion for when your baby gets older which means you really do get your money’s worth.

Easy to Clean

I loved how easy the seat was to clean and I always wiped it down with a baby wipe straight after use.

Safety Straps

There are two retractable straps built in to the side of the seat which means that when you’re ready to take it from floor seat to booster, all you need to do is just pull them out and clip them around the adult chair.

_______________________________________________________________________________–

Safety Tips

  • We recommend that you always use with restraint belt
  • If you’re using as a booster seat, safety fasten using the straps to ensure the seat is completely safe.
  • Always use with adult supervision.

Reviews from MyBump2Baby mummies

At MyBump2Baby we love hearing honest feedback from parents on products, here are some MyBump2Baby mums who wanted to leave honest reviews on the Bumbo multi-seat

“This was a life saver in our house, I have 3 children under 5 so as you can imagine, tea time was hectic, this seat allowed me to cook dinner safely whilst my baby sat happily playing with some soft toys” –  Rachel from Leeds



“My friend bought me this as a gift and I had no idea how useful it would be – now whenever my friends are pregnant I buy them one” Harriet from Preston

“I thought a highchair would be enough for my little girl but she was way too small for it when she started weaning, I also wanted a chair that I can take to the grandparents easily without hassle, my sister recommended the Bumbo Multi-seat and I bought it, I have never looked back. My little girl is 2 and we still use this seat a lot, she loves sitting in it to watch TV” – Sophie from Wales

“The bumbo multi seat is easy to transport and was always taken to the Grandparents house so Alfie could sit at the table with us and also use it has a general seat so he could look around. We did go on a Caravan break and brought the Bumbo seat with us which was so much easier to transport than a highchair. There are tons of colours to choose from too – I loved the Bumbo Multi Seat” Claire from Hull

Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat Review

Cybex Cloud Q Review
/0 Comments/in /by

Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat Review Overview

Just by hearing its name, Cybex Cloud Q definitely exemplifies a modern and technologically-advanced infant car seat. It is categorised within Cybex platinum line of products. It is stylish and dubbed by many parents as a game changer. It has been designed with great attention around your baby’s safety and comfort without compromising stylishness and quality.

Cybex Cloud Q is packed with extraordinary features like a fully reclining backrest, 11 position height headrest and a foot rest that extends, giving your baby much room as he or she grows. No wonder it has become popular and definitely a fan favourite!

Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat Specifications

Cybex Cloud Q car seat is designed for infants from 0-18 months, weighing from 4-35lbs.

Talk about an infant car seat full of modern features. The Cybex Cloud Q car seat has been ergonomically designed which can be adjusted to fully recline and transform into a brilliant carry cot for newborns. This rearward-facing car seat also includes a 5-point adjustable harness which are padded, an 11-position height-adjustable headrest and a footrest that can extend automatically as the backrest reclines. Additionally, it features a Telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P.) designed to quickly absorb side-impact forces and channelling them through the flexible, “EPS energy absorbing foam-lined shell.”

As an extra safety feature, the Cybex Cloud Q has an adjustable Load Leg base which prevents the car seat from rotating forward, keeping it intact during a crash and ensures that it supports and protects the baby’s head, neck and spine.

In addition, the Cybex Cloud Q has an easy carry-handle, an insert for small newborns making them snug and fit in the seat and has a removable hand washable fabric. It also features a foldaway sun canopy and is certified for use in aeroplanes.



Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat Ease of Use

Being loaded with innovative features, the Cybex Cloud Q car seat may seem complicated to use, but set up is made simple with its quick and easy latch or vehicle belt installation. One of the downsides of this car seat is its weight, making it challenging for parents to lift and move from one place to another. The car seat recline also tends to be a bit fiddly, requiring some trial and error.

Overall, despite its advanced features, the Cybex Cloud Q is not too hard to use. The manual included provides detailed instructions which can take you step by step when installing or adjusting the car seat.

Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat Quality

Yes, the Cybex Cloud Q comes with a price. It is probably one of the more expensive car seats out there, but this is due to the fact that it is more advanced than most car seats and the quality is worth the price. Although heavy, it is sturdy, which makes its quality more apparent when compared to other car seats. Not to mention, when you look at its stylish design, spending a little bit extra may not seem so bad.

The Cybex Cloud Q delivers on many aspects when it comes to safety, quality and innovation which make it worthy of the price you pay.

Awards/What Other’s Say About the Cybex Cloud Q

When parents, especially mums, talk about the Cybex Cloud Q, they are filled with excitement and are overjoyed:

 “This baby car seat seems so modern and designed with all of baby’s safety and comfort needs in mind!  Knowing she is safe and snug when we are driving makes life easier!”

“This is an amazing car seat!  My baby is very safely and comfortably cocooned!  The various recline settings were handy as my baby likes to sleep in the car, and I was able to find one to suit her.”

Evidently, the Cybex Cloud Q seems to be one of the most preferred infant car seats in today’s modern world. It has been short-listed under innovation of the year award and won gold for the best car seats in 2016 for Group 0+.

Conclusion of the Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat

If you are the type of parent who values ingenuity, this is the infant car seat for you. Safe, comfortable, forward-thinking, innovative, convenient, sturdy, cozy- are just some of the qualities that best describes the Cybex Cloud Q. Despite being expensive, it certainly offers great and extraordinary features that are non-existent in most of the infant carriers, specifically its ability to fully recline and transform into a comfortable carry cot so your baby can continue to sleep soundly without being disturbed, allowing  you to carry on with your busy life when you’re constantly on the road.

Britax Romer Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Review

/0 Comments/in , /by

Overview of the Britax Romer Baby-Safe Plus SHR II

We have all probably seen or read it on the news- yes, Prince George was pictured in the Britax Baby-safe Plus SHR II, and rightfully so, because Britax Romer Baby Safe plus is one of the most trusted brands when it comes to car seats. As with all Britax car seats, the Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II focuses its design on safety, quality, innovation and practicality. And if you’re wondering what SHR means, it stands for “single-handed-release” button.
The Britax Baby-safe Plus SHR II is packed with great features for the safety and comfort of your baby. With its superior side impact protection, which is an innovative D-SIP technology, the Britax Baby-safe Plus SHR II is a reassuringly safe car seat. The SHR function coupled with an array of installation methods and compatibility with many car models meet the needs of parents, making this car seat an easy option. A definite revamp of the old Britax Baby Safe model.

Specifications of the Britax Romer Baby-Safe plus SHR II

The Britax Baby-safe Plus SHR II comes in a variety of colours and has been designed to fit infants from birth to 15 months and up to 13kg in weight. This rearward-facing car seat is loaded with great features and compatible with strollers such as the Britax B-Mobile, B-Dual and B-Smart. It is also compatible with non-Britax strollers, provided you have the appropriate adaptors. The seat belt guides are larger making it easier to fit in your car using the 3-point seatbelt. As an added option, a Britax Baby-safe Isofix base or belted base can be used for an easy Click-and-Go.

The Britax Baby-safe Plus SHR II has D-SIP technology for superior side impact protection. It also features easy single handed release from compatible strollers, a 5-point safety harness with one pull adjustment. The seat has height adjustable headrest and harness as well as an integral recline system. It also comes with sun/wind canopy with a padded and washable cover which can be removed without fiddling with the harness. One of the small but helpful features is its curved base which is definitely useful for rocking or feeding.

Ease of Use of the Britax Romer Baby Safe Plus SHR II

The Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II has a moderate ease of use. It’s not as intuitive as other brands, however some parts of installation is simple- like the adjustment of the height of the harness and head support. Adjustment is as easy as pushing the headrest forward and then sliding it up and down. With this adjustment, smaller babies can automatically lie flatter and taller babies can sit more upright. The harness can be tightened simply by pulling on one strap in front of the seat.
One of the challenging adjustments with the Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II is affected by the D-SIP side impact protection, as this makes it harder to remove the seat from your car. Another common challenge is adjusting the handles as the button didn’t always click back into place.
Quality
Although still considered to be slightly at the upper end in terms of price, the Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II is actually not the most expensive car seat from the Britax line of car seats. This may be a bit surprising to many, since it is loaded with many great features compared to some of the other models- a definite bonus when you’re thinking of cost-effectiveness. With safety, convenience, innovation and practicality in mind, this car seat is perfectly suitable for its purpose.

Awards/What Other’s Say about the Britax Romer Car Seat

Parents love the practicality of the Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II car seat. Brilliant, cozy, safe, great car seat, are just some of the things that parents have to say about the car seat. Parents also love the colour, the sturdiness and functionality. Many mums agree that it is a definite upgrade from the older Baby Safe model.

With these many positive features, it’s no wonder why the Britax Baby Safe Plus SHR II has been rated high on many reviews and top baby car seat lists such as Buggypramreviews. It has also been shortlisted on Mother & Baby’s awards for 2016.

Conclusion of the Britax Romer Car Seat

If you’re a parent looking for the ideal first car seat that can be used to nest your fragile little baby from birth and one who values modern technology, Britax Baby-Safe Plus is the right infant car seat for you. Its superior DIP-technology side impact protection and Click-and-Go system are amongst the innovative features suitable for the needs of your on-the-go daily life.

Most importantly, the Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II is considered one of the safest car seats and one of the most reliable. Its safety standards, innovation and practicability make it one of the most suitable car seats especially for first time parents.

Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus Review

maxi cosy pebble plus review
/0 Comments/in /by

Overview of the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus Car SeatMaxi Cosi Pebble Plus Review

When it comes to safety, Maxi Cosi is definitely one of the most reputable brands parents can depend on. A few years ago, they introduced the widely popular Maxi Cosi Pebble car seat. With the desire to improve features and design, they revamped the Pebble car seat and introduced the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus car seat. This infant car seat carrier is light, easy to install, and comfortable. The new baby-hug newborn inlay is certainly more comfortable than the previous model’s newborn insert.

Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus is part of the 2wayFix family, which meets the new i-Size regulations. This means that your child can continue to be in the car seat facing rearwards while using the same base for a longer time, which is approximately up to 4 years old. This certainly simplifies the transition from one car seat to another, as your child grows. Not to mention, a little less heavy on the wallet.

Looking to buy the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus machine for the best available price? MyBump2Baby compares the prices below across all the major retailers daily to bring you the cheapest priced Pebble Plus car seat.

Specifications of The Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus

Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus comes with the car seat and the baby-hug inlay for newborns. It has been designed to fit infants from birth to 12 months and up to 75cm in height. The baby-hug newborn inlay is extremely comfortable for your baby and is well cushioned. There are a few colours to choose from, making it more exciting for parents without being limited to only two to three basic colours.
A Click-and-Go installation, memory buttons for one hand removal from pushchair, easy-in-harness and headrest/harness adjustment and aeroplane approved are just some of the great features offered by the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus. With the use of the modified 2wayFix base, which is basically an Isofix base, the Pebble Plus can be used until your baby is around 12 months old. It has three positions of movable carry handle, a raised harness clip and features a side protection system.
It is also compatible with a few strollers like the Loola 3, Stella, Mura Plus 3 Wheels and Elea. Its sun canopy is a definite improvement from the previous Pebble model, with its attachment to the car seat now made of flexible rubber, which makes it easier to pull out. For added convenience, the car seat’s cover is removable for washing.

Ease of Use – Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus

The Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus is not just all about its cute design. It is intuitive, straight forward and easy to use. It takes one step to secure the seat in place on the Isofix base. That means once the car seat adapters are attached to your car, the Pebble Plus carrier instantly and simply clicks into place. To release the carrier, it’s as easy as pressing a small grey button located on each side of the car seat, which can be done individually on each side.

However, if you are the type of individual who likes to follow through a step-by-step process, the car seat comes with a small instruction booklet containing about 16 pages of illustrations on how to use the car seat in different settings- in the car using either the seatbelt or an Isofix base, on your stroller or the aeroplane.

Overall, this car seat earns 5 stars on ease of use.

Quality of the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus

Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus is considered to be on the higher end in price. What comes in the box is the Pebble Plus car seat itself and the baby-hug inlay. The base is sold separately however, it can be used for car seats that are part of the 2wayFix family. It could cost up to £565 to buy the whole package and it costs extra to buy accessories such as a summer cover, rain cover and footmuff. Overall, despite the cost, the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus delivers well on many points – ease of use, its compatibility with other 2wayFix family products, and most importantly, the attention to detail on its safety features.

Awards/What Other’s Say about The Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus

The Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus is one of the most highly-regarded models in the Maxi Cosi family. It has received several excellent ratings from mummy sites and other review sites such as Pushchairexpert. It’s been rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon with great reviews from parents.
“Best car seat for sure. Really well padded, easy assembly and easily secured in car with and without isofix. It is by far one of the lightest car seats out there which makes carrying a lot easier. Great colour, very chic”, “Perfect as expected” are just some of the great reviews parents have shared about the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus car seat on  YouTube comments.

Conclusion

Without a doubt, the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus is a high quality car seat that is built to last.
It ranks high on safety and upgraded to meet the I-size regulations. Although considered expensive, it has numerous added features making it one of the most desired car seats out there. Being part of the 2wayFix family, transitioning from this car seat to the next age group is simplified, as it uses the same base for a longer time.

If you are the type of parent who’s on the go- making a few trips to the grocery, travelling by aeroplane one or more times a year with family, loves to go for walks with your baby – this is the perfect infant car seat for you. Being lightweight and easy to click in and out of your car, it makes it trouble-free to move around from one place to another, with your baby snug, comfortable and safe in the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus.

Beurer Digital Baby Food and Bottle Warmer JBY52 Review & Best Price

/0 Comments/in /by

New parents need a product that is not only affordable but that is also good in quality – Unfortunately good quality and affordability don’t often go hand in hand, however I have carried out a review on the Beurer digital baby food and bottle warmer JBY52 to help you decide whether this product is for you.

[dfrcs name=”JBY52″ brand=”Beurer”]

This baby food warmer warms up a bottle extremely quickly, it can also be used to warm up any sort of baby food. The baby food or milk will remain warm in the bottle warmer until used, this feature is a true god send for the night feeds. Many mummys make the bottle before they go to bed, they leave the bottle in the warmer until it is feeding time, they add the formula and then feed their baby. There is no need for trips downstairs when you are half asleep (I used to hate that part).

The design of the warmer is fantastic; it is simple to use and the parts are removable and easy to clean. An added benefit to the Beurer above any other bottle warmers is the display of the temperature on the front part of the bottle warmer. Supervision is not needed because the bottle warmer will not warm the content further more once it has reached the wanted temperature. Below the temperature display there are three small buttons; the first one ( + ) helps you set the temperature higher or lower, the middle one (with the turn-off/thermometer print) allows the bottle warmer to start working and the last one (with the wave print) sets the time. It can be adjusted to heat the bottle or jar content from three to eighteen minutes. As soon as the bottle warmer reaches the desired temperature, you can remove the container. The plastic container is especially practical because the opening has a little wider plastic ring, allowing you to take it out without effort and without risk of burning your fingers.

You can heat baby food from 35 to 85 degrees, Why does it go to such a high temperature you ask? The wonderful thing with Beurer Digital Baby Food Bottle Warmer JBY 52 is that it can be used for defrosting too. Another excellent benefit is that the Beurer bottle warmer is that once it reaches the desired temperature, it does not turn off, it simply remains warm and you can leave the bottle inside; the content will remain warm enough for your baby at feeding time.
The product dimensions are 14 x 14 x 13.7 cm and it weighs only 481 gram. This product is light weight which means it is easy to transport wherever you need it.

Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer Review & Best Price

/0 Comments/in /by

Preparing for your newborns arrival is a very expensive time. You make lists of all the things you need and you try and make it as affordable as possible, however making a quaility investment is so important as you don’t want to have to replace anything you have bought. You want a quality bottle warmer to make your nightfeeds a little shorter and something that will make your life a little easier.
Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer is one of those products that will serve you well but won’t drain your wallet.

[dfrcs name=”AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer” brand=”Philips”]

So what can you expect from Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer?
Philips designed a bottle warmer that is wide enough to accomodate any bottle size, which in my experience is a great help as you may find that you will end up switching bottles for many reasons. The Philips warms bottles up in just three minutes… yes THREE MINUTES which is amazing.The bottle warmer not only heats milk quickly but more importantly evenly which is important as you do not want hot spots within the milk as it could burn your baby. It is also much faster and more economical than warming water in a pot or kettle and waiting for it to get the right temperature before placing the bottle inside.
Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer designed this bottle warmer to allow defrosting which is great news for mothers who breastfeed it can also be used to warm and defrost baby food too.

When comes to operation, Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer is really easy to use. All you have to do is add water, then place the bottle and twist the dial accordingly. There is a snowflake setting which allows you to defrost milk or food.

Unfortunately, there is not a timer within the bottle warmer and this product continues to heat the milk even once the desired temperature has been reached but everyone has a smart phone with a timer and I would save my money and use that each time.

Philips AVENT Fast Bottle Warmer is a lightweight product; it weighs 567 grams and has dimensions of 14.9 x 16 x 14 cm.

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Bottle and Food Warmer Review

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Bottle Warmer Review
/0 Comments/in /by

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Bottle Warmer ReviewWarming milk in the middle of the night can be a hard work, especially when you have a crying baby in your arms. Without a bottle warmer feeding your baby can be a very lengthy process, every minute of sleep during the night is precious.

Bottle warmers are little miracles and all you have to do is just turn it on, place the bottle inside and wait a couple of minutes. These products will save you time which means your feeding process is shorter in time and will hopefully mean less stress and more sleep.

Tommee Tippee’s Closer to Nature Electric Bottle and Food Warmer is an excellent product and will heat your baby’s food safely and quickly. It only takes 4 minutes to warm up the milk or any other type of food. Tommee Tippee’s Bottle Warmer is designed to preserve all the healthy ingredients.

This bottle warmer is simple to use, you place the bottle or the jar inside the bottle warmer and add some water. Tommee Tippee’s bottle warmer allows you to adjust the temperature – it has three settings. Unfortunately Tommee Tippee don’t clearly tell you at what degree you are warming your baby’s milk therefore you may have to test it a few times to know which one is best. This bottle warmer is designed to fit almost any type and size of bottle or jar.

Tommee Tippee’s Food Warmer is designed small enough so that it can be easily transported.

Here are what some other MyBump2Baby mummies thought of the the product;

“I absolutely loved this, it fit perfectly in my changing bag and I literally took it everywhere with me” Helen from Scunthorpe

“The only thing I would change is the fact it doesn’t show temperature, that said, you kind of get used to using it so you quickly learn how long different foods need. I used a timer on my phone in the end which was fine. The price was fabulous for what it was and I loved the fact I could easily take this to my parents and it was easy to set up without much fuss” Sarah from Bromley

“I didn’t end up using this as much as I thought I would, my little one ended up really enjoying foods at room temperature which was handy, I did pass this on to my sister and she absolutely loved it, she has still got it now 3 children later. I think this is the ideal gift to buy for someone expecting a baby and it won’t break the bank either” Heather, St Helens

“We used this a lot in the beginning when i struggled to breast feed and it was great, it was the next best thing to the tommee tippee closer to nature machine which was an absolute god send when we transitioned from boobies to bottles, I actually don’t know how I coped without it.” Jayne Weston Super-mare

The product comes with dimensions of 12.5 x 13.5 x 16 cm and weighs only 9 grams.
