What a shame

Advantages: Well organised, very helpfull
Disadvantages: none

I discovered this web site in November of last year and found it brilliant, I found what I wanted easily and ordered it with no hassle, they kept me up to date with my order and told me when it left their depot, so you can imagine my dissapointment when I had an e-mail to say they were closing down. I did take the advantage to order some items for my son in the half price sale they held and although taking a little longer to be delivered the service ...

Dissapointed at such a big brand

Advantages: Huge selection, reasonable prices
Disadvantages: Bad Delivery

When I wanted a Christmas present for my (almost) 3 year old niece, the first thing that came to mind was Toys \'R\' Us, however I don't think it will again in a hurry. The online store is incredibly easy to navigate, and they have a huge variety of stock, probably 2 to 3 times more than you would find in even the biggest Toys \'R\' Us store in the country. I found the product I wanted with ease and at a reasonable price, I could have got it a few ...
...could trust. Ordering was easy and after registering placed the order. Unfortunately (but also understandably) your first order cannot be shipped to anywhere apart from the billing address for the card that you are using. They say that this is for the security of the card user which I fully appreciate, but it does make things a little inconvenient at times, especially like me if you are out from 6 in the morning until 7 at night. I placed the order ...

A brilliant site

Advantages: Fast delivery, great prices
Disadvantages: I'd bought things elsewhere before finding it!

OK, so as a new (first time) parent I have had to buy seemingly thousands of things in a very short space of time. Cot bed, tallboy, rocking chair, pram were unfortunately all ordered before I stumbled upon the kiddicare site - a shame as I would have saved immensely both financially and in terms of aggravation. The site is simple to use. Easy to find what you are looking for. Gives accurate stock information. Has helpful video to compliment some ...
...for the best bit though - it is not only fantastically cheap, but delivery times are probably the most rapid and efficient that I have ever experienced in years of shopping online. You even get a text message to tell you when your items have been dispatched and, if you are not happy with the delivery date, you can simply text them back to change it. This is what online shopping should be like. ...

B is for Bounty B is for B*tching

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: See review

I joined this website when I had my first baby and I found the information and advice available invaluable. I found that I didn't have much support from my midwife and so I would log onto Bounty and post my experiences to people if I was concerned and welcomed their advice. The website is based around forums so you can post questions and advice in teh appropriate forum and then have support and advice from others who have experienced something similar. ...

I found that I grew to know people in the forums fairly well and we even arranged a few meet ups which were fun to go to! It was nice to speak to people after so long face to face instead of just online! However this website does havea downside. Forums full of hormonal women is not a great idea... I found that it ...

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM BABIES247

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: They take your money and don't send the goods

I ordered two Britax car seats in October at a cost of over £200, needless to say the order wasn't delivered in the time frame they advertised although the money was taken straight away. We received the standard email from the company advising that the order would be delayed but sent out in ten days. Ten days came and went but the order wasn't delivered. After numerous emails, which went unanswered, and phone calls which seem to divert to a fake ...
