Terrible – Dont bother unless you like to be told when to tie your shoelaces and herded about like a sheep! Not ideal for under 45's or the adventurous. This cheesy ship has elevator music…

everywhere 24/7 and dull games like bingo and shuffelboard on deck. The entertainment is vegas-esque and theres not enough variety as the program repeats itself. Dis-embarking can be a very slow process and take many hours before you get on aan island. Prices onboard are very expensive for basics like toothpaste and shampoo. The staff are unhappy and many complain about being underpaid and overworked. Never again. Everything is done for you- would suit some retirees. Fake atmosphere and repetative entertainment program.

Good – Its a very strong gate that feels secure and reliable. It seems pretty tough and keeps babies out of unwanted spaces. This is a good quality baby gate and does its job. It can be…

stiff to open sometimes and guests have to be shown how to use it. Its quite narrow and would best be bought with an extension. Older toddlers like to climb it.

Excellent – I love this product and it creates a very large pen space for baby compared to the other pens available. Its easy to assemble and the size is adjustable. The fabric is strong and…

takes a 10kg todddler leaning on it without a problem. If you live in an open plan apartment you can put 2 gates together and have a giant baby space with different sections that they dont get bored in. This can make a large pen for baby if you section off the end of a room, or it can be used as a wall and gate. Its nice and soft and babies can see whats going on in the house easily through the netting. If they fall on it they dont hurt themselves. The beige net fabric marks easily and it cannot be removed to wash it which is its only design issue. You cant give baby food while in this pen!

OK – If you had a large number of these and lots of patence they would be great. I wouldnt recommend them for 2 or more babies. They take a little longer than regular nappies to sort…

out but are nice and soft on babies skin. You need a few giant nappy buckets full of water at all times to keep the flow going. My babies grew out of these very quickly. You feel good about using these nappies as they are a no waste alternative to disposables.I like that these nappies dry quickly and the star design cover is cute. The are neat fitting and dont dig into baby anywhere. They are very expensive and you need quite a few of these with a newborn. I wish they had fit for a bit longer given the outlay. Older babies love the sound of unripping the velcro and on bigger babies they seem quite tight on the tops of their legs. The babies had a few leaky issues when worn overnight so I had to use alternatives.

Excellent – I really have faith in the Bellamys organic products and would consider them the best commercial organics available in Australia. Babies seem to enjoy them and I have recommended…

them to others. If you are in a hot climate make sure you wash bottles straight away afterwards as they get hard to clean. This is a wonderful baby formula and babies seem to enjoy the taste. It stays fresh in the tin and the packaging is ok to have out in the kitchen. Its easy to find and only slightly more expensive than non-organic formulas. It can be tricky to get to the bottom of the tin when its almost empty with the sharp metal edge.
