Mothercare

When I was expecting my first baby and needed to buy everything for his arrival I went shopping at two shops, Mamas and Papas and Mothercare. Now in hindsight they were two of the more expensive baby shops but the way they are set out make you want to buy everything, I spent hours in these shops while pregnant. Mothercare really is a fabulous shop to buy things for your baby, obviously when it's your first child you need to buy everything, ranging from baby grows, cots, car seats, nappies, sterilisers, nursery furniture, moses basket etc. Until you have kids I don't think you realise just how much something so small needs. I reckon that you could probably ...  Read the complete review

Mothercare. The name implies, or at least to me it does, that it sells products which a caring mother would want to buy for her children. Hmmm. Like most parents-to-be, my husband and I had a long list of things we needed to buy before the impending birth of our son. So because we had been given a few Mothercare vouchers, we decided to save some time and just buy everything we needed there. We bought bottles, an electric steriliser, a breast pump, baby clothes, baby towels, sheets, blankets and much more besides. Unfortunately quite a few of these products are now broken, unused or have been returned to the shop because what we hadn't realised ...  Read the complete review

I genuinely like Mothercare - it has been with us for a long time and when you fall pregnant you imagine that all maternity outfits, baby clothes, toy and furniture will come from this store. In reality unless you have a very healthy budget you will probably do what I do which is buy a few nice pieces from Mothercare and then pad from other stores which offer basics at a more reasonable price. My local Mothercare is not a huge store but it stocks a good range of maternity clothing, maternity and breastfeeding underwear, and all the things that you will need in your hospital bag. It also stocks lots of baby/toddler clothes, shoes, new ...  Read the complete review

I live in quite a small town and when it comes to anything baby related there really isn't a lot of choice. But even if there was I'd still find myself turning to Mothercare as I know that although they can be a little pricey the quality more than makes up for the few extra pounds that the items may cost. You see my relationship with Mothercare has now lasted over eighteen years, and I already know that I'll be spending plenty more over the next few years. Mothercare itself has been around for as long as I can remember and although there was a time about ten years ago when a lot of the stores closed down, I'm not that concerned that it's going to disappear any ...  Read the complete review

Having just had a baby I was looking for deals and good prices on baby 'stuff' and I would say Mothercare isn't the place to get deals!! Mothercare is definatley more expensive than some of its rival shops. You will find all you need for your baby in Mothercare but you will pay more for it. My local Mothercare is Chichester and the store is badly laid out. Considering it's a shop that will attract people with prams and buggies there is always items on the floor and its a pain getting round the shop. On a good note I have found good nursing bra's and nursing night wear in Mothercare. The night dresses are a good length and wash really ...  Read the complete review
