Pros:

One hand twist and spin feature, easy assembly, one-hand fold mechanism, lightweight, soft soft soft cosytoe foot muff

Cons:

Only available in Black/Silver

Style and accessories

Suitable from birth, the biggest selling point and best feature of the Mothercare Spin Pushchair is it’s unique one hand twist and spin mechanism which allows you to change the position and direction your little one is facing with ease. This is a genius idea which allows you to easily provide contact and comfort to your baby while in parent facing mode. The twist and spin mechanism is easy to use and can be operated with one hand with a simple click of a button. The Mothercare spin pushchair also features a unique easy to use one hand folding system which is a lifesaver when you have your hands full.

The spin pramette transforms from pram to pushchair without the use of a separate carry cot. The Mothercare spin pushchair infant carrier can be purchased separately to convert to a complete travel system.

The spin pushchair comes with a 4 level height adjustable handlebar allowing you or your partner to set your preferred height for ease of use and comfort. It also has a removable bumper to keep your baby safe while allowing you to put your little one in and take them out of the pushchair with ease.

Comes with a range of accessories: pram liner, pram apron, weather shield, shopping basket and chest pads.

Storage

The unique one hand foliding system allows you to snugly fold the spin pushchair to a compact and light frame size that will easily fit into the boot of a small hatchback or tight space.

Wow Factor

A definite must have. Even if it is just to play with the unique twist and spin feature.

Chicco Happy Snack Highchair Review

August 27th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Highchair Reviews, Offers, Reviews

Pros: easy to clean, storage basket
Cons: a bit on the bulky side

Where highchairs are concerned the Chicco Happy Snack highchair is basically all you’d want in a highchair This is a stylish looking highchair which comes in a range of colourful colours and the Mothercare Highchair brand have the exact same chair in cream if you want a neutral colour. It has a removable tray which makes for easy cleaning and makes the task of strapping in baby a lot easier if your little one wriggles or goes stiff at the mention of being strapped in. The tray can be adjusted in or out as your baby grows, up to four levels. As it is a good reasonable size, you can also get some suction toys to keep your little one entertained without compromising on space for a plate and cup. There is also a storage basket which can be used for keeping extra bibs or wipes to hand or anything else you might find useful.

The Happy Snack highchair can also be be reclined, so that for the first stages you can have your baby sitting bolt upright and then recline it as they get older. The adjustable harness belts and seat cover can be easily removed if you want to clean them. In terms of storage, the highchair folds to be stored upright. The cool bit is you don’t need to lean it against anything. It just stands on it’s own.

Quinny Buzz 3 Review

July 27th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Pushchair Reviews, Reviews

Pros:
Stylish, definately for the yummy mummies/cool dads!

Cons:

Not very easy to fold down.

Style

Quinny offers a range of bright, funky colours for their Buzz 3 edition which comes with a raincover and sun canopy as standard. To complete the look, extra accessories, such as parasols, shopping baskets and footmuffs are also available plus the chassis can also be used with a Maxi – Cosi car seat. This is one cool 3-wheeler, a real head turner. Just watch out for all the buggy envy you will be getting.

Storage

The good bit is that it can be broken down into smaller components. The seat comes off, even the wheels come off if space is very limited! It can fit into my Rover 25 boot with two small suitcases. The bad bit is that you can’t hold baby and break it down at the same time; so if you need to take the bus, here’s to hoping the buggy space is free.

Handling

The front swivel wheel and huge back wheels (it comes with it’s own tyre pump!) make for a smooth ride for both parent and baby. Its easy to navigate stairs and you can push amd steer with one hand easily. My partner’s even managed it with one finder. So evenif you don’t have the shopping basket, shopping is still manageable. Piece of cake!

Baby comfort/safety

The Quinny Buzz 3 is fitted with a memory foam seat, harness and an extra safety bar for baby to hold on to, or which you can accessorise with a stroller bar toy. Your baby can face forward (3 reclining positions) and check out the view or face you (2 reclining positions) for loads of smiles and babbles along the way.

Wow Factor

Don’t forget to check out the automatic unfolding feature…
