Quinny Senzz Puschair £149.99 @ Kiddicare

Quinny Senzz Puschair £149.99 @ Kiddicare

Kiddicare has marked the Quinny Senzz pushchair down from £435.00 to only £149.99 which is an astonishing saving of well over 50% and well over £200. I am gutted that I don’t need this. I feel like such a good deal needs to be bought.

The Quinny Senzz pushchair is bedecked in the colour they call “Flame” which I rather like – a grey, black and orange combination that’s rather gender neutral and looks pretty zesty to me. Then again I love orange so perhaps that is just me.

The Quinny Senzz set comes with a carrycot, footmuff, raincover and car seat adaptors and is suitable from six months old. IF you use it with the Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix or Pebble carseat which is not included then it can be used from birth.

The Quinny Senzz has an adjustable back rest, one hand easy folding, padded seating and a carry handle. In short it is pretty much everything you need to get your baby kit up and running.

Traditional Swinging Crib £29.99 @ Kiddicare

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 31 January, 2012 at 8:00 am

Traditional Swinging Crib £29.99 @ KiddicareIf you're after a traditional swinging crib then you'll want to pop over to Kiddicare and take a look at the Clair de Lune Florence Swing Crib they've currently got on sale - it's £29.99 at the moment instead of £89.99.

I've always loved the look of a traditional swinging crib but practicality always won out and so I had moses baskets and cot beds for all my babies.  The practical reason for me not to have a traditional swinging crib was not being able to move it around the house as easily as a moses basket, but if that's not a concern for you then I'd definitely consider the Clair de Lune Florence Swing Crib.

It's made from natural pine and has a gentle rocking action from side to side and comes with a simple locking device for a stationary position.  You'll need to purchase the mattress and bedding separately and the required mattress dimensions are: 83.5 x 43cm.

As this traditional swinging crib is £29.99 it just qualifies for free home delivery, so £29.99 is the complete and total price you're going to pay for your Clair de Lune Traditional Swing Crib (ignoring the fact you need to buy a mattress, of course).

Chad Valley Round Sandpit Frame £13.99 @ Argos

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 30 January, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Chad Valley Round Sandpit Frame £13.99 @ Argos

The Chad Valley round sandpit frame is down from £34.99 to only £13.99 which is a brilliant new price and I wish, wish, wish we had a garden so I could nab this for my offspring. The discount is well below half price for an ace sandpit.

The Chad Valley round sandpit frame has compartments for water or toys scattered around a central sand holding area. There are six identical sections that form the round frame and the entire kit comes with a ground and cover sheet as well.

You also get approximately 30kgs of sand to fill the pit, which is really good value for money here, and the entire sandpit is 141x18cm in size. It is brilliant for little ones to play in on hot summer days and to create all sorts of mess as they wriggle around in the sand.

This is an excellent deal for a really unusual sandpit that I rather like!

Obaby Atlas Scribbles Pushchair (Black) £39.99 @ Kiddicare

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 30 January, 2012 at 11:00 am

Obaby Atlas Scribbles Pushchair (Black) £39.99 @ KiddicareI rather like the look of this black Obaby Atlas Scribbles pushchair - it's rather funky - and I also like that Kiddicare are selling it for £39.99 rather than the full retail price of £79.99.

Pushchairs, strollers and travel systems never really 'did it' for me but if I had to chose one today then I'd definitely consider this Obaby Atlas Scribbles pushchair - it's got all the features you need without all the useless bells and whistles you don't.

It has various reclining positions making the Obaby Atlas Scribbles pushchair suitable from birth; it comes with a raincover and a shopping basket; it has a five-point safety harness and an adjustable leg rest; it has lockable front wheels (very useful) and ergonomic foam handles.

It weighs just 7.7kg, is easy to fold and has great reviews from existing Obaby Atlas Scribbles pushchair owners...

"This buggy was real value for money! The wheels are swivel which is great for a cheaper buggy and its easy to open and close. Lies back fully for when asleep. Great little buggy."

"Bought this for the grandparents who child mind my 10 month baby as previous pram was bulky and heavy and liked it so much kept it - really light weight but very plush. Love it love it."

As your Obaby Atlas Scribbles pushchair is over £30, Kiddicare will deliver it to your home for free.

Baby Freebie: Cow & Gate Free Toy & Pregnancy Diary

by Tamsin Oxford in Freebies on 29 January, 2012 at 12:00 pm

This is an oldie but a goodie. The Cow & Gate Mum and Baby Club has been around for a while and I got one of their free cuddly toy cows when my daughter was born way back when. Now you can take advantage of the same cool deal and it is well worth it for a freebie.

Garden Friends Baby Gym £15 @ Kiddicare

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 27 January, 2012 at 11:00 am

Garden Friends Baby Gym £15 @ KiddicareI'm a huge fan of baby gyms and will happily pay more for a decent one - luckily for those in the market for a baby gym, Kiddicare have reduced the price of this Garden Friends baby gym down to £15 from £30.

I really like the look of this Garden Friends baby gym - the colours are bright without being gender specific; hurrah!  It's suitable from birth and has different textures and various activities that will amuse and entertain little ones.

It has a padded mat that features various friendly looking garden characters and leaves, two arches that criss-cross to each corner and three detachable cute play bugs to hang from them.

There are so many positive features to having a baby gym in the house for your little one to experience and play with.

When they are first born it gives them a different place on which to lie flat, and an alternative view of their little world; when they're a bit bigger, the hanging bugs will give them an incentive to reach out and develop their motor skills by batting and trying to grab them.

If you spend over £29.99 then delivery is free otherwise, standard delivery is going to set you back £4.95.

Huggies Size 3 Super Dry Value Box 87 Pack £11.98 BOGOF @ Ocado

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 26 January, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Huggies Size 3 Super Dry Value Box 87 Pack £11.98 BOGOF @ Ocado

Ocado is selling the value boxes of Huggies Size 3 Super Dry nappies for £11.98 in a buy one get the second one free deal at the moment. That’s 87 nappies per pack and 174 nappies in total for under £12. Not bad at all.

The Huggies Super Dry packs have Disney’s Winnie the Pooh designs on them and are super breathable to help prevent nappy rash and sore bums. The buy one get the second one free offer is on from today until 29 January so if your baby’s bum fits these, then you can stock up for ages.

The price works out to around 7p per nappy and you’re only allowed a maximum of 20 in one order (although that would be a lot of nappies!). However, the site only allows a minimum order value of £40 so you may want to bump up the spend by peeking at many of the other low deals they have on at the moment, like low cost Aptamil.

10% Off Hello Kitty Furniture @ Sainsburys

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 25 January, 2012 at 6:00 pm

10% Off Hello Kitty Furniture @ Sainsburys

Sainsburys has a 10% discount on a range of Hello Kitty furniture items at the moment and this offer will last until 14 February. There are quite a few notable items included in this discount and while they are not astonishingly cheap, there are some pounds saved.

The first item I uncovered was the Hello Kitty Sling Bookcase that was £30 but is now £27. It has an MDF frame and four fabric slings that can store books of different shapes and sizes. I rather like that feature because, honestly, do no children’s furniture makers realise that their books are huge?

Next up is the substantially more expensive Hello Kitty Light Up Headboard which, er, lights up. It has an integral night light that automatically turns off after 15 minutes and the MDF board fits all standard single beds. It is down to £53.10.

Another item I like but think is grossly overpriced for MDF is the Hello Kitty toy box that costs £40.50 in the sale.

Baby Born Mummy Pick Me Up Doll £15 @ Tesco

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 24 January, 2012 at 4:00 pm

Baby Born Mummy Pick Me Up Doll £15 @ Tesco

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll has been reduced several times over the course of the sale. Originally it was selling for £40, then it dropped to £20 and now it is only £15. That’s a pretty good saving off the original price.

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll by Zapf Creation comes dressed in a cute pink shortie suit and has lovely golden hair that’s tied off to one side with a pretty pink clip. She asks to be cuddled and when you raise her arms she giggles.

The Baby Born Mummy pick me up doll also gives kisses and says, “Mama” along with other cute little baby babbling phrases. The batteries needed to power her along are included and she is ideal for kids over the age of three.

There are no other accessories included with the Baby Born so she seems quite expensive for the original £40, but for £15 she will make a great addition to the present cupboard. Personally I find her a bit creepy.

Disney Princess Chandelier Junior Rotary Bedding Bundle £14.99 @ Play.com

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 23 January, 2012 at 6:00 pm

Disney Princess Chandelier Junior Rotary Bedding Bundle £14.99 @ Play.com

This is a pretty good deal for a full on rotary bedding bundle with the whole Disney Princess theme going on. Down from £22.99 to only £14.99, this Disney Princess Chandelier rotary bedding bundle is worth looking into.

Of course delivery is completely free with this prize but it will, naturally, take ages to arrive. This lovely children’s toddler bed set from Disney features two of the favourite princesses. Know who they are? If you’ve got a Disney mad daughter you can probably recite them in your sleep…

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty – these two are on this set. The most insipid of the princesses I’m afraid. The set includes one junior quilt 3.5 tog, one pillow, one Disney Princess duvet set and the items are made from polyester and cotton mix.

The Disney Princess duvet set is designed to fit a toddler bed, Junior bed or cot bed mattress so anyone with kids in big bed need not apply.

Chicco Winter London Stroller £55 @ ASDA

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 17 January, 2012 at 6:00 pm

Chicco Winter London Stroller £55 @ ASDA

Wow, ok, £55 for a stroller seems really good value for money to me and you’re saving £20 off the usual price which is £75. Part of the ASDA Baby and Toddler Event, this discount is one of many so do poke around to see what else you may need.

The Chicco Winter London Stroller is a practical and lightweight buggy that is suitable from birth until 15kgs. This type of stroller is ideal for people who have to navigate a lot of stairs and don’t want to have to carry ten tons of pram about the place.

The Chicco Winter London Stroller has a lockable front wheel and is designed to close like an umbrella – nice and easy. The back rest reclines to five positions and the stroller has linked rear bakes for safety. The ergonomic handles (hahah) apparently make pushing this stroller a joy.

The leg rest can be adjusted to two positions, there is a five-point safety harness, a foot muff, a detachable hood and a shopping basket and rain cover.

Philips Avent Manual Breast Pump £13.99 @ Amazon

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 16 January, 2012 at 4:00 pm

Philips Avent Manual Breast Pump £13.99 @ Amazon

The Philips Avent SCF310/20 manual breast pump is down from £28 to £13.99 on Amazon and it comes with free delivery too. While this saving of £14.01 is an excellent discount, I am not sure that investing in a manual breast pump is that great an idea.

The Philips Avent manual breast pump is easy to assemble and use and is handheld throughout. The massage cushion has been designed to mimic the flow of the baby suckling and for your comfort while you use it. This is one of the best breast pumps around for that reason alone (well, I think so).

The Philips Avent manual breast pump is portable and perfect for travel and is interchangeable with other Avent products. In this box you get the pump, a feeding bottle, a bottle stand and funnel cover, and a sealing disc.

I personally would not recommend a manual breast pump, although they are handy for travel, as they are rather tiring, take a long time and your hands ache! However, this deal is really good and it will make a very handy portable system if you fancy travelling.

3 in 1 Trike £34.99 @ Mothercare

3 in 1 Trike £34.99 @ Mothercare

The 3-in-1 trike at Mothercare has been marked down from £69.99 to only £34.99 which is a pretty good price for this weird, futuristic little gizmo. It is ideal for babies or beginner riders and will grow with your child.

The 3 in 1 trike changes over three stages to grow with the child. In the first stage it is a parent push trike, in the second stage it is a parent guided trike and in the third stage it is child powered. The removable shade canopy adjusts to any age (and looks bizarre) and the tyres are durable and designed to be quite.

The seat is adjustable to four positions and the handle is both detachable and adjustable too. The push handle lets you control direction with just one hand and the little one is strapped in with a five point safety harness. The pedals are non slip and the footrest can be folded away. It even has a beverage holder!

Ladybird By My Side Twin Stroller £8o @ Very

The Ladybird By My Side twin stroller has been reduced from £159 to 80, a saving of £79, in the Very sale. You get a sweet little stroller for twins at a fraction of the usual price and you can collect instore for free.

The Ladybird By My Side twin stroller has an embroidered Ladybird logo and independent four position backrests that include full lie back to make it suitable from birth until 15kgs. The twin stroller is lightweight at only 12kg.

The stroller is great for taking around town or on holiday and has a carry handle so it is easy to transport. There is a large shopping basket for all your bits and bobs and both seats have extendable and adjustable leg rests and removable fold back hoods.

This particular Ladybird By My Side twin stroller is red and black though so hopefully you aren’t too stuck on colour for this deal.

Tommee Tippee Heat Sensitive Bath Mat £7.90 @ Amazon

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 15 January, 2012 at 11:00 am

Tommee Tippee Heat Sensitive Bath Mat £7.90 @ AmazonThere's no way I would have paid the original price of £19.99 for this mat, but the Tommee Tippee Heat Sensitive Bath Mat is on offer at Amazon for £7.90. Delivery is free with Amazon Prime. I think this is a much better price. Otherwise just go for a generic, cheap bath mat and use your elbow, that's what I say!

What attracts me to this bath mat is that it is colourful and fun. Especially when you're dealing with toddlers, anything that makes bath time a little bit more attractive is a GOOD THING.

I got one of those bath thermometer things when my son was a baby, and honestly how useless was it? It was meant to be heat sensitive but never seemed to work really. It would say the bath was hot when it was clearly too cold. I found dipping my elbow in, the time honoured method, was a far better solution.

So I probably wouldn't suggest getting this bath mat just because you want to make sure the bath water is the right temperature. But I would recommend getting a bath mat. They add a bit of comfort to the bath, and for slightly nervous toddlers they add a bit of security. Even now my son prefers to get into a bath with his mat, finding the slipperly bottom a little bit unnerving.

The mat offers a quick and easy way to check that baby's bath water is not too hot. The heat sensor will clearly tell you when the water is too hot by spelling it out in the red spot on the seabed. The fun sea characters will also keep your baby entertained while they splash around.
