Bumbo Baby Sitter - Aqua

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Bumbotm Baby Sitter


The bumbo seat is made of a strong, foam based substance and gives when pressed. When baby sits in it, the design of the bumbo and baby's own body weight supports them in a sitting position. Baby needs to be able to support their head. My son seems happy in it for short periods - he may get more used to it as time goes on - but is happier in his bouncy chair. However I would highly recommend the bumbo as a useful aid when feeding baby, before they can sit in a high chair. I wouldn't dream of leaving my son alone it - I can see ways that he could get out of it, by leaning backwards or forwards, especially as he gets bigger. I also wouldn't use it on an elevated surface, for fear of him toppling it. That said he hasn't fallen out of it ... Read More:

My wife bought this, and it would take around 45 minutes to express..
It just didnt really work for her, the one we hired would express double the amount in about 10 minutes.

Fisher-Price Healthy Care High Chair

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Fisher Price


A good high chair all around.

It has some very nice features, such as a reclining back which my son finds more comfortable when not actually eating a meal. I find the multiple heights to be exceptionally useful for using the high chair in different areas of the house- sometimes we sit in the lounge on the floor and have a snack at the coffee table (I know, ideally all food should be eaten at the dining table, but lets be realistic) and position 7 is perfect for me to reach him and attend to his needs still.

The chair and pad, in fact all aspects of the chair are easily cleaned which is a plus. The teether toy connector allows you to put other toys (that have some sort of loop or hole to fit through) to be attached ... Read More:

Closer To Nature Electric Steriliser

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Closer To Nature


I bought this steriliser to use with Tommy Tippee bottles - then changed my mind about the bottles and used it with Bornfree bottles. I have found it to be highly effective. Every steriliser has a limit on what it will hold but this one has proven more than sufficient for my needs. It takes a little more than 5 minutes to complete a cycle; 5 minutes is the sterilising time, but in addition it heats up and cools. Saying that it 'cools' is a bit of a misnomer - open the steriliser after the cooling period is over and you will find everything far to hot to use. Timing is therefore essential. From my perspective this is a minor issue. The steriliser is compact and does the job - which is what I needed from a steriliser!

Brother Max 6 Small Food Portioners

Pros: I loved the idea of these and they are lovely little pots which don't leak in your bag. They can go in the dishwasher & microwave.

con: I didn't find the press bottom helpful and unless you've got thumbs of iron I don't really see how you can get your frozen food out. I found flexible ice cube trays much easier.

from: Medela


I bought this pump when i was pregnant just in case! Im so glad i did as i have really struggled with breastfeeding and because the pump is so efficient and quick it means i can express easily and my baby still gets breastmilk but from a bottle! I have also used a few of Medela's other products and they all fantastic!

Fisher-Price Link-a-doos - Infant to Toddler Rocker

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Fisher Price


I purchased this chair because i have large babys that usually reach the chairs limits before the age the chair is for.
I thought it would be strong but was deeply disappointed. Definately not the normal quality I expected from FP. The seems in the chair are tearing already and my son is only 4mths.
At birth there wasnt enough support so i would purchase a head support to use as my son slumps in to one side when a baby.
The vibration fuction is noisy and can become annoying at times.
This is a 5th child and this is definately money wasted as mine is now having to be replaces already.

Tommee Tippee Roll n Go Twin Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Tommee Tippee


I bought this lovely bibs for my twins and have to say that they are absolutely fantastic. The hole at the top (that some people mention) is not a problem now because my twins are 18 months old. I would not recommend this item for babies because its wide neck is too large for babies, hence why it will let food stain clothes. I could not do without them now: they are easy to clean, to store, and very, very durable.

Philips AVENT Express II Microwave Steam Steriliser

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Feeding
from: Philips Avent

October 31, 2007
This is a really useful contraption, however, Avent bottles along with many other well known hard plastic baby items, contain Bisponel A which has been found to be dangerous to infants. Bisphonel A has just been listed as a toxic substance in Canada and all products containing it removed from shelves.
