READ THIS REVIEW - BEBE CONFORT CREATIS CAR SEAT

Advantages: FULL ACCIDENT PROTECTION
Disadvantages: NONE REALLY - JUST THE SUN CANOPY NEEDS REMOVING WHEN BABY GETS OLDER

...The creatis car seat offers excellent all round protection for your child. I have had a few different car seats with my 3 children and the Bebe Confort Creatis stands out from the rest (safety wise) by a mile in every way. Firstly I have read the reviews that other parents have put on this site and I do not agree with some of them. The creatis car seat offers the best position for baby when travelling by car in the event of an accident - in every direction and its side impact is outstanding and I feel is the best. Yes it is like an egg shell/bucket seat but this has been recommended by professionals as the safest position for baby to be in - in the event of an accident by car. The car seat is not supposed to be a luxury armchair or a fashion statement - it is there purely to provide full protection for your baby in the event...

Review of Bebe Confort Creatis

  Baby's First Wheels

Advantages: Simple click-in system, have covered many bases
Disadvantages: Bit Heavy, quite wide, takes some getting used to

...I'm sure I must be slowly working my way around all the buggies on the market. When I found out I was expecting my second I couldn't decide what I wanted this time, having had five different ones for my first child. So currently I have a Bugaboo, which I had been using for my son, a Bebe Confort Loola system with carry cot (my current pram of choice) and a Phil and Teds Sport Double which I bought off Ebay as my eldest is only just two. Oh and I still have a Quinny Zapp in the boot of my hubbies car 'just in case' I should be ashamed of myself? most people go through a baby or two with the one pram. But in my defence I don't hoard them, when I'm bored they go straight on to Ebay to buy the next one! I am going to review the Loola Pushchair, I have the whole travel system, although there are different sections in Ciao to review...

Review of Bebe Confort Loola

Comfort in Bebe Confort Hipsos

Advantages: Expands up and out; 'Red' clip means younger children can sit safely without a five point harness
Disadvantages: As with any seat using a normal fitted seat belt, you do have to lean across the child to fasten the belt.

..., therefore, don't recommend that you put your wee ones into this stage of car seat until they're three. Our not quite so wee one weighs more than a small three year old and is probably as tall as one, so physically, was ready for the transition; we were just concerned that he'd pull at the seatbelt and 'escape'! The answer to our problems did seem to be this innovatively designed Bebe Confort Hipsos with its red clip securing the belt against the seat just over the child's shoulder making it much harder for a child to outmaneouvre himself. A Peter Jones assistant (and I do like the way that JL stores have a car seat in situ on which to try out the seats) was happy to demonstrate how the seat worked and even revealed that this model reclines a little with the help of two levers on the side. I was reassured. We caught the train home...

Bebe Confort Loola System

Advantages: Forward and rearward facing seat, compact when folded
Disadvantages: Heavy, not good on kerbs, no one-handed steering

...The Loola system is based on 3 components all available seperately that also fit to the chassis seperately. The idea is that this a complete system to take you from newborn to age 4. There is the Windoo carrycot, the creatis carseat and the loola pushchair. All three fit onto the chassis by two buttons on either side that click into the component you need. Sometimes I found these a little difficult to work, especially when trying to lift the car seat off with my son in it. I sometimes felt like I needed three hands. One to lift the carseat and two to press the buttons. When the loola arrived, I had some trouble putting it together by the instructions alone although the pictures were helpful. I started using the carrycot at first . This option was ideal and it came with clips so it could be strapped safely into the back seat...

Review of Bebe Confort Loola

Baby comfort - just as it says

Advantages: compact, lightweight, modern sporty look
Disadvantages: not very useful shopping basket

...We went to the baby show in London last year with the intention of buying the Micralite travel system as I am quite petite and didn't want to have to struggle with a bulky, heavy system. In reality although lightweight, the Micralite system seemed a bit flimsy for my liking. One of the stalls was demonstrating the Loola and we fell in love with it immediately. The Loola system is great. It is based on a lightweight chassis, to which you can attach either car seat, pushchair seat or carrycot. The different options are very easy to click on, and with the push of two buttons (which can be pushed separately rather than having to be held down at the same time like some other systems) the seat can be easily removed. The system is very easy to close aswell even with the pushcahir seat in. I think whoever designed this must have children...

Review of Bebe Confort Loola

Bebe Confort Loola Up Pushchair - an improved version of Loola.

Advantages: Good travel system, good colours
Disadvantages: harness straps not long enough, not much under carriage storage, not very sturdy or hardwearing

...I bought this pushchair after extensive searching online and reading many reviews. My sister-in-law had the original Bebe Confort Loola pushchair and travel system and she liked it very much. But I found out that this updated model had addressed many of the problems of the original Loola. For example instead of two seperate handles the Loola Up has one handle bar which makes it easier to get up and down pavements and easier steering. The under carriage storage is also bigger but still not particularly big and things can fall out relatively easily. The thing that sold me on this pushchair is that the baby can sit facing mummy or facing forward and baby specialists advise that babies should be facing mother as long as possible to increase communication skills and to give comfort to baby. Not many pushcahirs have this option. I...

Review of Bebe Confort Loola Up Pushchair

Having a Baby

Advantages: Makes excellent espresso, cappuccino and latte coffee
Disadvantages: Needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly

...I've never been particularly keen on drinking coffee at work - the options usually consisting of either a mug of the instant variety made with water boiled in a disgustingly furred-up kettle, or a paper cup of brown-coloured hot liquid dispensed by a temperamental vending machine - so it was with some relief when I began a new job last year to learn that there was an espresso machine at my disposal, with which to make a cup of 'real' coffee whenever I wanted one. I wouldn't term myself a coffee snob by any means, but I'm a firm believer that there's no competition between the genuine article and its powdered or granular equivalent, despite what the Kenco lady in the television commercials would have us believe. NAMING THE BABY Our machine, the quaintly-named Baby Dose, is made by the Italian company Gaggia, one of the world...

Review of Gaggia New Baby Dose

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Becky and her baby!

Advantages: Drew me in straight away, and contains babies!
Disadvantages: None!

...?Shopoholic and baby?, by Sophie Kinsella is the fifth and as far as I am aware the final offering from the shopoholic series (for the time being anyway!). The book starts with a quite pregnant Becky who is going for a detailed scan, if you read the last book you will be aware that there was a particular accident that happened with her ?long lost? sister Jess, that would make any pregnant woman jumpy! After ascertaining that everything is fine with her and her husband Luke?s baby, an a particularly funny incident where she has a quick go at scanning herself to find out the sex, then spending the next ten minutes talking to her bladder (soo funny!), she finally allows herself to do a little shopping?..ok, a lot of shopping. On her trip she over hears two ?yummy mummies? talking about the new celebrity midwife Venetia Carter, she...
