MIMA KOBI PRAM is a great stroller, not just aesthetically, but because of its many capabilities.
The Mima Kobi Pram was created to be used for years until your child becomes a well-grown toddler. In fact, it transforms from an infant-ready pram to a toddler seater. And if you have two children with close ages you don’t have to buy another stroller for the other, by buying a separate seat you can bring your kids with you in one pushchair.
The pushchair has two height adjustments to fit a parent’s preference. The seat(s) can also be faced outward or towards the mother, whichever way the parent is comfortable with. And seat(s) can be adjusted to recline in three angles. You can customize adjustments to your taste, and as to which makes you and your child comfortable and safe. This can be easily folded to be towed away when not in use.
The Mima Kobi Pram Starter Kit is available in Stone White, Black, Ruby Red, Ash Brown, Hot Magenta, Cobalt Blue. You can choose the color of the seat and canopy in these colors Dark Grey, White, or Cosmo (silver). The package includes a changing bag.
GOOD NEWS! Metro Mum is slashing the price of this multifunctional pram from $1348.00 to $1019.15. Great savings from a high quality baby stroller. This is a good investment that will last you until your children grow out of it. Order before the 30th of June to avail of the discount.

Going to the mall with a baby who needs to be nursed is no problem nowadays. Most shopping malls already have a breastfeeding section, and there is heightened awareness with mothers who prefer to breastfeed their babies. When the going gets tough – or when the baby is calling, rather – you have to be prepared to feed your baby without needing to change clothes and pulling up shirts.
The seamless camisole is elastic and made for nursing, so you can wear it when you’re pregnant or when you have already given birth to a breastfeeding baby. An alternative is Maternity Plus’ feeding tank, which serves the same purpose. These are both ensured to make feeding easy and comfortable to both mommy and baby, without sacrificing style.
Cover up and add an oomph to your getup with Bowerbird Vintage’s I Love Lucy Cape, which is dusty rose in color and drapes softly from the shoulders. It is made of a floaty semi-sheer fabric with design reminiscent of the 70′s when it’s all thin waists and babydoll look. Pair this with RIPE’s Mischa maternity jeans, which is straightcut and has an elastic band at the waist to accommodate a baby bump.
If you are breastfeeding your baby, it is important to keep track of feeding times, and Mothers Minder’s reminder bracelets are chic and fashionable ways of reminding you of baby’s hungry hours.
Keep yourself looking fresh and pretty with Urban Rituelle’s Raspberry lip balm to prevent chapped, dry, and pale puckers. This lip balm has natural beeswax, sweet almond oil, olive oil, and shea butter, plus vitamin E and sunscreen, to keep lips soft and protected.
Put the lip balm and your other beauty products (and baby’s essential things, of course) in the chic Storksak Elizabeth nappy bag. Unlike other baby bags, you can even use this bag even if you don’t have a baby, because of its beautiful leather body and classy design. Made out of textured cow leather, this bag has a top-zip closure and features a removable thermo-insulated bottle holder and a changing mat.
If you know someone who’s a hip mommy, you can give her a gift from these selection of items. It is proof that motherhood – and nursing a baby – is not the end of chicness and coolness.
Catch the Easter Bunny to win a whopping and hopping $150 gift voucher. Go to MetroMum’s Facebook page for clues and scour MetroMum’s homepage to find Mr. Bunny! Fill up this competition form with your answer and cross your pretty fingers and hope for the best.
The hunt ends at the 30th of April 2011. Don’t be late.
It has been 2 years since my baby boy came but I can still remember those first few days of breastfeeding and bottle-training. It was a hassle since I had to buy washcloths and bottles and even bottle cleaners separately. I could have done better if these gift sets would have already been made available.
These are the new Green to Grow Welcome Home Gift Sets - regular neck set for green, and wide neck set for blue. These sets contain:
2 x 150ml bottles
2 x 300 ml bottles
2 packages of teats: intermediate (medium flow, 3 – 6 months), and expert (fast flow, 6+ months)
1 x soft, certified organic cotton burp cloth.
Packaged in gorgeously illustrated recycled material, these lead and PVC free feeding items are great for new moms who just came home from the hospital (thus the name) and are just starting to feed, or as gifts for baby showers. No need to wrap it in fancy papers, the packaging itself is adorably presentable.
Each set retails for $99.95.

Little boys have such wild imagination. One day they decide to be robots, the next day they wear eye patches and pretend to plunge a cutlass through an imaginary Davey Jones.
Being a pirate certainly has its charm on boys. Aside from boarding a huge ship with a flag of skull and crossbones, pirates are depicted to be free-spirited and adventurous. Just the word “adventure” raises up testosterone levels. If your little baseball star decides to go on account and be one of the buccaneers, why not indulge him with these pirate loot scoured from the basement of Jack Sparrow’s Black Pearl.
