OK until you try to fold it – This stroller has a canopy, a useful parcel shelf underneath, and a top tray that can hold small items including a drink cup. The foot-level tray is… Read more

too far rearward to be much use as a footrest. A loose flap of fabric, behind the baby, provides partial wind and rain protection. The left and right brakes operate independently. Each front wheel has a lever that either allows it to turn freely, or locks it facing straight ahead. If you want to fold the stroller to fit in the back of a hatchback, you must first lower the backrest. That is difficult, because the clamps that hold the backrest straps do not allow the straps to move freely. To fold the frame of the stroller, you slide and twist a part of the handlebar. That requires a great deal of strength. Folding the stroller frame (without lowering the backrest) will probably allow you to fit the stroller in a station wagon..

Great purchase! – I knew I wanted a bedside co-sleeper bassinet for my baby and this one worked perfectly! Late night feeds without having to get up, and being able to… Read more

see and hear and check on my baby throughout the night was amazing. So convenient having baby right by your side. My daughter stayed in this bassinet until 7 months old, when she moved to a cot in her own room. Due to her being small and not learning to roll or climb up, we were able to safely use it until this age. Make sure you buy 'cradle' sized fitted sheets for this bassinet, not 'bassinet' size, as it is quite large. It did take up a fair bit of space beside the bed, but we ended up installing a small floating shelf on my side so I could have things handy without needing a bedside table. I definitely recommend this product.

Too hard to clean under the tray – Impossible to get food out of the tray crevices and double layer of tray. Looks nice. Also needs 2 people to safely get child in. Wooden legs look good, but tricky to use it

Well package and easy to assemble – I love the this product this would be a great gift I bought was been delivered to my sister in laws house where she received it completely great and and well packed.

Almost killed my baby – I happened to be filming so I captured the moment the bouncer collapsed and almost empaled him with the metal bars. Wife grabbed onto the baby just in time before he fell onto the metal bars and grounds.

Lightweight and portable – Big Bright sesame st characters dangle from the removable bar which is easy for baby to see and grab hold of to play with. Plays music and vibrates.… Read more

When baby gets excited the bouncer goes up and down with his movements. Can easily move it around the house unlike the cradle swing we have.

Easy to remove cover and toys and i've machine washed it with nappy antibacterial wash to kill any germs when my lil man has the flu and the synthetic material holds together great after each wash. I even put the toy bar into the machine as well and its still in perfect condition Dries quickly when washed, bright seasme st characters are easy for my son to recognise, colours are gender neutral Songs are short so it seems very repitive if played regularly, max child weight is 9kg which is similar with most other portable rockers

Excellent product – I've used this for my son for the last 3 months and it's been great. Easy to wheel around and the rocking capability is a great feature when trying… Read more

to settle the baby. Also looks quite nice too and keeps the baby safe. Highly recommend this product. Wish I'd had one with my eldest son

Sturdy and good height – This change table is a great height (I am bit tall) and is good sturdy timber construction. Some reviewers have mentioned that it only has one shelf but I have never found this to be a problem as I use a clip on side caddy.

Childcare Charlotte Bassinet – This bassinet has seen me through two babies and is brilliant. I originally wasn't going to buy a bassinet (was just going to put baby straight in… Read more

the cot), and purchased this at the last minute and it's been one of things that's been worth it's weight in gold. I've loved it. There is so much room for baby, it's larger than normal and fit my very tall babies until they were five months old. It has storage compartments underneath and wheels for easy maneuvering without the stability of the bassinet being compromised. I was able to wheel it around with me throughout the day depending on which room I was in. A really great bassinet.

Simple and convenient – We got our change table second hand and it is still in great condition. Very sturdy and easy to clean. I love the two shelves in this model as one… Read more

shelf just isn't enough. It's the perfect height for a tall mummy (6 ft) and daddy (6' 6"). It's simple and exactly what we need, I have nothing bad to say about it. Sturdy, reliable, easy to clean and double shelved.

Best rocker that ive ever seen – My sister bought this rocker back in 2006 for her newborn. And then used again with her next kid I then got it from her when I had my son in 2010.… Read more

Tonight it broke.. after 9 years and 4 kids!! Highly recommend this product.

The several seating/lying positions meant this could be used as a feeding chair as well.

Good – This is a great bassinet. The storage basket underneath is handy for storing spare sheets and clothes in case there are any accidents at night. … Read more

Even with two people, it was very hard to put together and took over an hour. Sturdy, good value, storage basket. Hard to put together.

Great product for the price ($99 @target on sale) – Before my baby was borned I wasn't sure if I should get this stand alone change table or one that goes over the top of the cot. Have decided to get… Read more

it because we have the space in the bathroom so why not? Now I cannot imagine changing my baby without it! Since it sits in the bathroom, if the baby makes a mess it's easy to clean up, and also for me to wash my hands afterwards. When changing, I would position my baby on the change table so his feet points towards the bathtub in the bathroom (parents you know what I mean =) Sturdy. Very easy to clean. Has organizers to hold all baby essentials (baby toiletries, towels, nappy rash cream etc) Wheels are pretty useless, does not spin on bathroom tiles. Change table top hard to drop if using one hand (the other hand busy with the baby). Hose does not fit tap so the only way to fill the bath is to use a bucket.

Very good features, I loved it! – I loved this rocker, it was inexpensive and had great features. It has a full recline, my daughter used to fall asleep in it sometimes. It also… Read more

reclines up into a seat position which I used to feed my daughter in sometimes. the toys were good when she was really little but easy to remove when she was finished with them. The hood came in handy if I was outside gardening or something I could bring her out in it without worrying about her getting burnt! It also folded down quite small which was convenient to take to friends houses. Inexpensive, convenient and easy to use, cute design!

Don't buy go get mediscan – Not worth the money at all! Low readings even on my husband who is always hotter than me. He got a reading of 33.6, that's low! Took it many times… Read more

with widely varying temperatures. I would rate this one as totally inaccurate and I took mine back to the store for a immediate refund. That was 30mims after purchasing it. Now have a mediscan thermometer, excellent easier to use more accurate Sounded easy and good. That was it Very inaccurate

Good – I am really happy I bought this instead of a regular change table. It has been much more convenient for us as my husband and I are really different… Read more

heights. We now have it on the floor and it slides under the cot when we aren't using it, so it doesn't clutter up the nursery, and I never have to worry about our bub falling off because he can only fall 10cm or so if he does. The storage section could be a bit wider to accommodate a hard wipes case. The mat has split but I think this is a universal problem. In all I would recommend this to people who want something simple and movable. It was really convenient when our baby was a newborn as it kept him up higher and closer to our faces. Lovely and solid, with no chance of tipping over. Once the change top is removed from the cot (and put on the floor) there's no chance of bub falling off and injuring himself (but it also has a safety harness). It has a section on the side to keep nappies, wipes, cream and so on close at hand. A bit pricey considering it's not actually a table and has no other shelves/storage. The mat plastic split along the seam. The storage section on the side is a bit too narrow for a tissue box or a hard baby wipes case.

Good in small spaces – While son (now 2.5)was young it did what I wanted in our small furnished appartment - a safe raised surface to change him on that I could fold up and… Read more

move easily. Originally well under $100. Just talked to Childcare's friendly customer service and bought a replacement change mat for $16.50. The top changemat did split at just over a year, starting from the joins. My son was average weight but a wriggler and difficult to stop from standing/bouncing. Child care doesn't recommend past 12 months though. easy to move and clean, reasonable price, shelf at the bottom and side, stable only recommended for babies <12 months, the plasic mat gradually split at the join points after this until it was unusable

Excellent – was given this as a present and it was the best thing we were ever given! when baby was unsettled we would put him in this and rock him with our feet… Read more

while we ate. although you can stop it rocking we never seemed to need to use that function. helped babies reflux by sitting him more upright after a feed. removable toy bar and hood. hood to keep lights/sun out of babies eyes. fully recline or sit upright. rocker or fixed position. easy to clean. good quality. nothing much, only that it doesnt have a vibration feature and the fabric got a little bit sweaty in the summer.

Peace of mind – We found this to be great with our first child, looking to buy a new one for second child. Yes we found same problem with rubber cups but found seat… Read more

to be reassuring way to bath the little one but with easy access to pull them out if they slipped etc. nothing to pin them in the water

Sturdy and affordable – Borrowed from a friend and now wish we had just bought it ! Very easy to move between rooms. Convenient storage shelf underneath. It has a firm… Read more

mattress, but would need replacing if used for second baby, this can be done on the childcare website. Mesh sides make it breathable. Highly recommend Inexpensive, easy to move, rocks easily, firm mattress

Not for for purpose – Very difficult to get baby in and out without injuring baby. Too small for 6 month old baby. Struggle to wash him properly as it’s too small. Not fit for purpose.

Good – We found this rocker seat very useful. It was nice and comforting for bubs, the toy bar was fun for my boy to play with as he got older. We also… Read more

found it great for using as a seat before he was old enough to sit on his own in a high chair. It is nice and comfy for bubs, has handles for moving it about while baby is in the seat. You can set it to different seat tilts and flip out bits at the back and front to stop it from being a rocker and it becomes a safe seat. It has a hood for when using outside. It has a good toy bar. I is quite dark, thick and heavy fabric so can be a bit hot for bubs in the summer.

OK – It isn't a bad change table but if I could go back and buy a different one I would. The tray on the side doesn't hold very much so you really need… Read more

another area to stack your lotions, creams, powder etc. It is an excellent idea to put a baby bath and change table together. It really helps to save your back. The plug is easily kicked out by the baby so you had better make sure there is a bucket under the hose or you could end up with a very wet floor. The hose must be attached well or it can leak.
