Mothercare knows best

MANILA, Philippines - Dedicated to finding the latest and most innovative products for expectant mothers, mothers, babies, and children up to eight years of age, Mothercare Philippines unveils its latest offerings. 

For moms who just gave birth, get your tummies in the Bamboo Belly Bandit and Mother Tucker. The Bamboo Belly Bandit is an abdominal compression binder designed to tighten and shrink the tummy post-pregnancy. It’s also a great support for those mothers who have undergone the C-section, allowing them greater mobility. Made from bamboo, the fabric is soft, lightweight, and three times more durable than cotton. It’s so smooth that it goes incognito comfortably underneath the clothes without irritating your skin. On the other hand, the Mother Tucker is a belly buster tank made from breathable fabric that compresses, smoothens, and shapes the tummy. These stomach binding products help minimize the occurrence of stretch marks, too.

Now, for those moms on the go who still can’t leave their babies behind, make sure to bring a Skip Hop — diaper bags with a clean, modern design that doesn’t even look like a diaper bag! The bags are made with multiple pockets for superior storage and padded, adjustable straps for comfort. Skip Hop’s patented Shuttle Clips also allow the bags to easily attach to any stroller, too. Also available from Skip Hop are backpacks and lunch bags in bright colors and fun animal designs that children can bring to school.

When it comes to strollers, Inglesina’s English-style prams are made with the best materials and assured with a high level of security. Select fabrics, fine detail and careful tailor-making impart elegance on Inglesina’s strollers. The Inglesina Zippy stroller is easy to bring. It’s so light that you can push the stroller with your baby in it with one finger.  

Fun meets function with Skip Hop Zoo packs (P995).

Also available at Mothercare is the Xplory stroller made by a Scandinavian company, Stokke. The Xplory is the sleekest, most user-centered stroller in the world with every inch of it designed to enhance the experience of mothers moving their child seamlessly as they go around. It has an adjustable seat height so parents can still keep an eye contact and interact with the baby. To give more comfort to your baby, attach Comfi’s Cool n Dry Stroller Seat Pad. This stroller pad allows heat to easily dissipate, making your baby cool and dry all day, even when exposed under the sun.

Other than strollers, Stokke’s Tripp Trapp Chair, the ingenious baby chair designed to fit right into any table, is also now available. This chair grows with the children that they can even use it until adulthood. Its ergonomic design allows movement while still keeping children safe.

No matter the occasion, be it bath time, playtime, or sleep time, Mothercare has products to keep babies comfortable any time of day. The Oshi Mat, a multi-award winning playmat, is lightweight, non-toxic, and easy to clean. It’s made of PVC and latex-free materials. It’s also water-repellant, cold-resistant, and moisture-free, keeping bacteria away from building up.

When it comes to relaxation or slumber time, the Comfi Breathing Pillow comes in handy for babies. It has a unique “X-90 Degree” 3D structure that has 40 different support points for the baby, allowing orthopedic support for spinal alignment. Made from breathable fabric, it allows perspiration and heat to easily dissipate and air to pass through freely, reducing the risk of suffocation.

Bath time is always a lot of fun especially with Flexi Bath. A product of Denmark, it is the only hard plastic children’s bathtub that can fold up flat with a simple touch of the hand. Made from safe household materials, the Flexibath is compact and easy to bring around. The flexibility of the sides of the tub when it is full of water also makes it suitable for children up to four years old.

The Comfi Baby Breathing Pillow (P1,195) and the Kids Breathing Pillow (P1,895) give an orthopedic support for spinal alignment.

Moms indeed know better and that’s why they trust the fact that Mothercare knows best when it comes to products that help meet their needs and, most especially, their children.
