Schatzii Screen Cleaner Review

I love the fact that Schatzii Screen Cleaner is an anti-bacterial cloth. It is small and light to put it in my handbag. Even though it is so small, the cloth is quite thick. One side is the micro-fibre and the other side is to polish the surface.

Swimava Baby Swim Ring and Baby Bath

I first got to know Swimava through my Singapore friend’s facebook pictures of their children in 2009! Ms C was 13 weeks old when we first used it with her. When I got the swim ring, I thought it was excellent on all aspects (size, shape and fit). I liked the addition of the handles and the two air compartments which allow us to change the fit of the ring by inflating/deflating them individually. It is very quick and easy to pump using hand pump. The fastening clips felt very secure and stretchable.  The inner part of the ring was nice and smooth to prevent any rubbing/rashes.

Bumbo Baby Sitter and Tray Review

I first saw the Bumbo bay sitter seat at my friend’s house in 2008, and got the impression that it’s a very comfortable seat for younger babies who trying to sit up (approx age 6 months old).  I did get some negative feedback from my friends as their active children managed to tip over while trying to get out and that her children’s legs were too chubby to fit in the seat. It didn’t deter me though as I still bought one for my daughter in 2009.

The Gruffalo Book and Live on Stage!

The first time that I came across The Gruffalo magnetic book was my son’s 3rd birthday present from my friend, AP.  It looked so interesting and I heard a lot of good reviews from friends that it is a classic book for the whole family!  We loved it so much that we followed up and bought the paperback and hardback editions!!  I’m really glad that I did which will be explained soon!

Trunki Quinn Ride-on Suitcase Review

I always want to have a Trunki since they launched 6 years ago but our children were too young to own one at the time (Suitable for aged 3 – 6 years old).  Finally, we bought our first Trunki Quinn Ride-on Suitcase in 2011.  It is Trunki’s 5th birthday limited edition case, with only 5000 being made. It is a big hit with both of my children.

Tangrams By Orchard Toys

When I first showed the tangrams to my 4 year old son and told him I can do magic by creating animal shapes, his little eyes brightened up! The quality of the cardboard is excellent. It is not easy to tear and there are no sharp corners. The tangrams are very colourful and easy to hold by their little hands.

Happy Hopperz Blue Cow

We named it ‘The Crazy Cow’! Why?  The reason is my children just bounce like crazy, especially my son! When we first got happy hopperz cow, it is very simply to use.  No instruction is included, and is not necessary as it’s very self explanatory).  After foot pumping for 5 minutes (foot pump not included) we had a fully inflated cow!  The stopper plug is well designed in that it is very hard for the children to pull out once full inflated.

Maclaren Techno XT & Twin Techno

Why we chose Maclaren Techno: My husband likes Formula 1 and that’s the reason he insisted we get Maclaren in 2007. LOL! Seriously, we found it ticked a number of boxes in terms of practicality, value for money and ease of use. We liked it so much that we bought the twin-seat version of it when my daughter came along in 2009!

Mamas & Papa Murano Changing Unit

The Mamas & Papa Murano changing unit is a set of 3 drawers with an attachable changing table which works really well and offers really good value for money. We bought a changing mat to put on top.  The instructions are easy to follow but it took my husband and I at least an hour to assemble. The unit is very sturdy and made of good quality materials.  The drawers are not very deep and cannot store lots of clothing. The drawers don’t come with the rubber stoppers to stop the drawers from banging when closing.

Cosatto EASI PEASI Changing Unit

Cosatto changing unit is the most straightforward to assemble and took me 30 minutes by myself.  Not much of screwing or hammering. There are lots of useful storage compartments but they are a little too small for big items like eczema cream. I like the shape of the bathtub, which is beneath the changing mat, as it allows baby to sit at an angle.  As for the bathtub, we didn’t use it as we had the changing unit in our living room. It comes with a comfy, padded and easy to clean changing mat.

Our Stokke Care Changing Table

We first got this Stokke Care Changing Table when we had our second child in 2009. It is a brilliant buy although it is very expensive but it is built to last. The unique design is very stylish, and multi-functional. It can be converted into a desk, TV shelves or book shelves. Firstly, the height for the changing mat is at a comfortable level. The changing mat is well padded but not easy to clean.
