Mamas and Papas

When looking for great baby items I am not one to only shop here in the U.S . Now before anyone bites my head off I am all for “Made in the USA” but there are some wonderful companies in other countries that make products you just can’t find here. Mamas and Papas is one of the companies. They are great Britain’s Number 1 Baby Brand.

Mamas & Papas is a brand built on a passion for style, quality and innovation. The business was founded in 1981 by one of the UK’s first female entrepreneurs, Luisa Scacchetti, who has redefined the modern approach to parenting, whilst also inspiring a new generation of mothers to realise their own ideas and bring them to market. Luisa’s original vision is one that still underpins our business today – “Every product and collection in our range must not only look good, but also add simplicity and assurance to a parent’s daily routine. We are about sophisticated, yet simple, solutions, with unprecedented attention to detail in everything we do”.

I received Malvin Mouse and Dee the Duck along with a reusable shopping bag to review. Malvin and Dee are both part of Mamas and Papas’ plush toy line. When I opened the package the first thing out my daughter’s mouth was “Are those for me?” I didn’t have a chance to say yes or no because off she went with them. Malvin and Dee have become a part of our daily lives as they now have to have meals with us and sleep in Victoria’s bed. I must say that as far as plush toys go these are two of the best made ones I have seen. The craftsmanship is superb and the cuteness level of these two is off the charts.The bag was simply an added bonus for me. My husband asked “How did they know you have a bag fetish?” He’s right I do. You should see my shopping bag collection and I have proudly added this one to it as my new bread bag for the weekend market.

Mamas and Papas has much more than just toys they also have high chairs such as the Baby Snug which is my favorite.  There is  infant positioners, bouncers and baby carriers. Each having category having several items to choose from. I really am loving the modern style and sleekness to they designs. They all look as though they belong in the homes and lives of the rich and famous, which of course I am not and why the prices are reasonable.My all time favorite item though is from Mamas and Papas’ stroller collection. It is their Mylo Plum Pudding and Raspberry Ripple Stroller (pictured above.) This is the stroller that I want, you know the one that I would trade my husband for! It even has a bassinet that can be attached to it. I know a lot of women get baby items based on baby’s gender. Not me! I get items based on what I like. Let’s face it the baby isn’t going to say “I don’t like that.” Plus there are just certain that are more for mom than baby. I do the same with diaper bags.
