Advantages: sturdy, comfy for baby, lovely to push
Disadvantages: slightly heavier than others

...'t get slippy in wet weather or too hot in the sun. It folds away quite neatly when not in use, although it is bulkier than other prams we have seen. Again the linear chassis does fold away smaller and is lighter than the classic chassis. we have had a couple of problems with the release catch being too tight, but Silver Cross have been more than happy to sort this out quickly and effortlessly. The Pram = well, what can I say? Clip the body onto the Chassis and away you go! Once you have set the chassis up, the body clips onto the chassis easily (via handles on either side of the body). You can clip it on either facing you or facing out. It has a large hood and is quite deep, so the baby must feel fairly safe and secure in there. The body is lined with a 100% cotton liner in white and comes with a lovely Silver Cross... Read review

Advantages: Good design, comfortable, reliable, 3 in 1 travel system
Disadvantages: Can be heavy, need a big boot to store chassis

...Please not: my review is for the Silver Cross Linear FREEWAY When I was about 6 1/2 months pregnant, I knew it was time to search out a buggy. However, for me this was not going to be an easy task. I am only 4' 6'' tall so I knew I would have to find a pram which would be able to cater for someone of my height, and also my partners average height. So my partner, my parents and I decided to set aside a whole day just to go pram shopping, but little did we know the perfect pram was just around the corner... My dad, being an engineer had been researching different prams for me, working out if he would be able to adjust the height for me. But he also found that in Mothercare, they did a basic chassis with a height adjustable handle. Only problem was, the pram was ugly! So we carried on our search and went into John Lewis. The first...

Advantages: Lots of gorgeous jewellery
Disadvantages: Only silver, no gold

...Well, www.silver.uk.com has a silver lining anyway. For anyone who loves silver jewellery this site is superb. If you prefer gold then I'm sorry you need read no further, as they don't stock any at all. The range of silver on offer though, is superb. All of the items are very contempory and include rings, bracelets, necklaces, belly button items, toe rings and earrings. With a large range of stock in each category, I believe there is something for everyone, including men. I was interested in buying a ring and there was 120 to choose from! The site itself is very easy to navigate. You can hit tabs to take you to body jewellery, bracelets, brooches, earrings, necklaces, pendants or rings. Alternatively, you can opt for the best sellers, special offers or new items. If you don't fancy trawling through the website, you can... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, sophisticated, witty
Disadvantages: It had to end!

...Since there are less than two weeks until I bid a temporary farewell to Ciao and head off to Andalucia for two weeks of backpacking, sherry and tapas, I thought I would inject some Iberian culture into today's reviews. And what better way than to review what is, in my opinion, the finest of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's movies. The director is famous for his art-house black comedies and "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down" (1990) is probably the darkest of all. Ricky (Antonio Banderas) is discharged from a psychiatric hospital where he has spent the last few years, following a traumatic adolescence during which he repeatedly absconded from a series of orphanages and reform homes. Desperate for a normal life he sets his sights on Marina, a porn actress with whom he had once had a one-night stand. Now acting in dreadful B-movies, Marina... Read review

Advantages: health benefits & ability to still breastfeed @ 10 months
Disadvantages: a long drive & many disapprovals from healthcare professionals

...Tongue-tie affects 1 in 250 people. This is our family story of the first few months with our first son, Benjamin, who was born with a severe tongue-tie. I am writing about how we overcame those difficulties. I do hope that this becomes an encouragement to you out there, whether to help you persevere with breastfeeding, give you confidence to 'go against the flow' of some healthcare advice, or encourage you with whatever struggles you have. After trying to conceive for eighteen months we couldn't believe it when we got a positive reading from a pregnancy test and worked out I was about six weeks pregnant. From then on, as I was only working part-time, I did quite a bit of reading about pregnancy, birth and bringing up a baby. I had it all planned… an active birth with very little, if any, pain relief, 'breast is best', only... Read review

Advantages: small, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...The Sansa Clip is a small mp3 player, but in my opinion is better than others the same size, such as the i pod shuffle. Its small, stylish and black and has a clip on the back so is perfect for the gym or walking about. It also has a small display screen on the front. I tend to listen to the radio alot, which on this player is easy to tune in and gets great reception, you can also reset a number of stations which is handy. I found it easy to upload music. It comes with a cable, once connected its shows in my computer and you can just drag music across. The only bad thing is that it does not recognizes i tunes, and other downloaded songs seem to be a problem, but generally it is pretty good. One in the music section, you are able to scroll down the menu and search by artist or album and create playlists. It is only 1 gb, and as I have... Read review

Advantages: Saves money
Disadvantages: constant re-charging

...**BABYLISS: 7910U ** --- Even more turbo power for cutting your locks --- Uni-Sex hair clippers with all the extras; including balm and grooming materials > Hair clipping has never been easier, thanks to Babyliss < -Who are Babyliss? Babyliss is grooming company that has groomed men and women for over 40 years. Babyliss was established in 1960 originally in Paris; and helped stimulate the 'swinging sixties. The growth originally was slow but quickened up as the 'new sexual revolution' took hold of Western culture. During this time, vanity was in the air and so was new hair design concepts; big style influences were used in mass media for the first time 'vanity products went through the roof' a perfect climate for a major brand to step forward, and so it was Babyliss who was the brand people flocked to especially in Paris...

Advantages: Compact, easy to use and bursting with quality sound
Disadvantages: Writing on screen my be too small for some users

...Although this mp3 player is only 1" diagonally what it lacks in size it makes up for in quality and features. I found this product so simple to use that i would recommend it for younger or less experienced users. Features include a built in microphone and a built in fm tuner as well as a handy clip which can be clipped onto virtually anything making it the ideal compact mp3 player for anybody on the move. Installing the mp3 player onto my laptop and pc was very easy and uploading music was very fast. 1gb is the perfect size to hold music as well as picture and text documents. I would also recommend this for anyone looking for excellent sound quality and value for money.... Read review

Advantages: A very large bin
Disadvantages: Mesh type bin - when emptying paper residue can escape through the mesh

...and Reverse. The reverse position is used if paper becomes jammed in the unit. A green light illuminates when the shredder is ready for use. There are three little diagrams here showing that hands, ties and paper clips should not be put in the shredder!!! I assembled the shredder - it won't function unless used with the supplied mesh bin - turned the switch on the top of the unit to Auto, as instructed and started feeding paper, five A4 sheets at a time, into the shredder. Well, things were not as bad as I had supposed - four lots of shredding, with three fifteen minute breaks in between actually only used up roughly one hour. I would have had to stop after two minutes anyway as the mesh bin needed emptying. I emptied the contents of the mesh bin straight into our paper recycling bin, did some other chores and just returned to shredding... Read review

Advantages: Small, Not Space Consuming, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: The Display is too complicated and the Wires

...Thanks for reading my latest review on the Binatone Clip 100 caller display unit. I don’t know why I brought this but the deal I was offered on Price-Drop.Tv was too good to be true. This is the easiest caller display unit that I have ever used. For some unknown reason people who have these units are worried about who is calling. If it’s a Bailiff number you just don’t answer the phone, it has its good points and bad points. Anyway enough of my Gobledy Gook, onto the technical side of things. Its features include a caller display facility (which requires a caller display service enabled by your telephone company), a new call, Repeat call and a Battery Low indicator. The brilliant thing about this caller display unit is that it stores the latest information on incoming calls, it’s such a shame it doesn't log outgoing calls... Read review
