When I think about the amount of baby brands I’ve been introduced to from pregnancy till now, it makes my head spin.
I wasn’t sure which brands to trust and what products to buy. I kept thinking maybe the expensive ones are better because they so pricey! Duh…but that’s not always true! As discussed before, it took me a while before I realised what brands worked for me and my child. I’ve learnt about new brands and I started to love brands I never thought I would. If I could go back in time, I would change a lot… I know the second time around, I will do things better. I’ve learnt to read reviews and research before purchasing.
Most of the time, we underestimate brands or we don’t give them the opportunity they deserve. We think the products we see on TV all the time is the “best” and that’s not always true too!
I always thought Mamas & Papas was this super expensive brand which I couldn’t afford AND because it’s situated in an odd location in Sandton City, I never find myself getting to the store. I was invited for their media launch not so long ago and I was totally amazed at the quality of their products. I regret not giving them the opportunity they deserved.
About Mamas & Papas
David and Luisa were first time parents and like all first time parents they wanted to give their baby girl, Amanda (first-born) the best. After realising that what they were looking for wasn’t available to buy, they decided to source the products themselves and start a boutique baby shop.
50 stores later worldwide, Mamas & Papas is a brand moms look at first. A brand that was started by first time parents in their home is now reaching thousands of moms worldwide giving them the luxury they deserve for their families at a reasonable price.
South Africa has 4 stores in 3 different provinces, you can find your nearest store here. I suggest you visit a store and get to know the products they have available.
My favorite:
Mamas & Papas is seriously giving me baby fever… haha 😉
After doing some research on their website, I found some products which I would love to introduce you to.
1. URBO2
This has to be my favorite product from the brand. I absolutely love this pushchair and I would definitely recommend it to any mom.
Products I love:
1. Breeze Crib natural
It’s recommended that for the first six months a baby sleeps in your bedroom. If you have space restrictions, want a stylish alternative or addition to a Moses basket then the Breeze Swinging Crib is the perfect first bed.
- It’s Newborn friendly – lasts from birth up to 6 months.
- Small footprint – takes up just 0.52m2.

- Locks in place – crib locks securely into a stationary position when their asleep.
- Rigorously tested – to ensure the best levels of support and safety.
- Super-compact – the perfect cot for small spaces and bedsides.
2. Lotty play mat

- The lotty play mat has an interactive touch pad and pull toys trigger lights and sound to stimulate baby’s development. Quality sounds and soft light bursts underneath the gym arch encourage sensory development.
- Musical Fun magic card pack, toys and tummy time cushion, teething toys and movable mirror all included.
- MP3 compatible so you can play your own music, rhymes and stories, and we’ll provide the light show.
3. Star lite swing chair

- It has a detachable and reversible canopy features a choice of light shows with two-speed settings.
- Control includes five motion settings and lullaby function with volume control.
- MP3 player compatible.
4. Moses rocking stand
I wish I bought this for my baby because I think it’s so much easier for a newborn although it isn’t a must have product but it’s one that can definitely help for the first 6 months. The rocking stand is perfect to help baby fall asleep.
5. Ellis shoulder bag retro floral
Pattern Inspired Design – Made for mums that love to stand out, the Ellis comes in a range of vibrant colours and patterns, including some of the hottest catwalk looks. Take your pick from retro floral, to bold red poppies and super-cool Dalmatian spots to make your mark.

6. Baby carrier: Morph in plum
The multi-adjustable Morph parent harness is designed with different sizes and body shapes in mind, because everyone is different. With no-fuss, one-handed adjustable straps, Morph adapts to fit you and your partner it could not be easier. The multi-adjustable Baby Pod provides a host of features that work together with the Morph Parent Harness. This includes a five point pod fixing system that grows with your baby, including an adjustable head strap to keep baby close to you.
- The one-handed adjustable design of the parent harness means that Morph can be easily adapted for a more comfortable fit with one pull of the shoulder and waist straps.
- Baby pod fits easily like a nappy with adjustable waist straps to expand as your baby grows. The separate baby pod allows you to lift the baby onto the Morph harness and put baby down without waking them.
- Soft, breathable and moulded pod structure offers ergonomic support and ventilation, while the thick, padded harness straps and easy-fit design makes it comfortable for parents too.
7. Juice highchair apple
High Chairs are great when you’re little, but eventually you need something a bit more down to earth. The Juice goes from highchair to a Junior chair that’s great for all kinds of activities for years to come. When they’re growing out of everything else in five minutes, here’s a chair they’ll still be using in five years.
- Converts from highchair to junior chair.
- Soft moulded seat pad provides ultimate comfort and support.
- Removable tray makes it easy to pull up to the table at meal times.
8. Classic travel cot
The Classic Travel Cot offers great value for money and practical benefits. Constructed with four fine mesh sides and multi-locking mechanism for a safe and sturdy travel cot, it can also be used as a playpen.
- Folds compactly for easy transportation and storage
- Has a soft, padded mattress base that provides a comfortable sleeping place for your little one.
- Padded frame that protects your child and covers which can be sponged clean.

I always read reviews before shopping too! Thanks for your recommendation on this one. I will take a look!
They have some really great products. I don’t know what I would have done without my travel cot. It was great to have when we traveled to see family.

Oh these look some great baby products! Might make some good presents for my friends with newborns!
They have such cool baby things now! But my girls are grown and I’m long past that stage.
With a new baby comes lots of new products. 🙂 It’s good to go to a store and have all the baby supplies and furniture there. It looks like you’ve found YOUR store.
I love all of these products. Shopping for babies is my favorite thing.
I am not familiar with this store but it looks like they offer a nice selection.
Such cute things. I love seeing baby stuff! Makes me want another then I look at my son and all of that goes through the window. I’ll pass. Lol
Such an amazing store for first time parents, I really love all the products they sell!
Great review on these baby products. Top quality guaranteed.
Definitely a brand that provides quality products.
That would be a good hand-me-down crib.
Never heard of this store, we were up in MN, maybe there was one at The Mall of America. Now we are in Florida, may be down here, my daughter just had her first baby, nice store for her.
What an awesome selection of baby items. I wish I would have heard of them when my kids were babies.
I love the wooden cradle. It reminds me of the one my dad made for me when i was expecting my son.
What a fun store! I’m not a mama yet but I def see some products on there that I would love if I ever take the leap!
So many great baby items.
I love reading reviews before making my purchases and with a baby shower coming up next month I appreciate your feedback on the Mamas and Papas brand
Will have to share this post with my close friends! Thanks!
Hello where has this store been? We do not have one near but I’m in love with this store. I love shopping for baby stuff for baby showers. I’ll seek out Mamas & Papas
I love my juice apple high chair!
We loved them too. Got all the big ticket stuff from them. Cot, stroller, aton car seat….Not even 6 months later and the car seat’s sun visor is broken. They tell me it’s because of how I used it – REALLY! You think that someone that pays R3500 for something will handle it without care? I’d say its bad manufacturing. Read other reviews. This has happened before. Shudder to think what will go wrong if I start to use the stroller more often. And this brand is notorious for BAD customer service and after sales service.
Cute is not always good and practical and durable – what I’ve learned the hard way 🙁

Asia is the largest consumer of copper, accounting for over 50% of global consumption. China, in particular, is the largest consumer of copper, consuming around 11 million metric tons annually. The electrical industry is the largest consumer of copper by far, accounting for over half of all copper consumption.

Copper scrap trading Copper has a long and illustrious history in the world of building and home decor. Dating back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, copper was used in a variety of applications, from roofing and plumbing to decorative sculptures and jewelry. One of the most significant uses of copper in history was its use in roofing. Copper roofs were popular among wealthy families in medieval Europe, and they continue to be used for high-end buildings today. Copper is known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it an ideal material for roofs that need to withstand harsh climates and frequent exposure to the elements. Copper also has a unique appearance that sets it apart from other metals. Its warm, reddish-brown color develops a rich patina over time, giving it a distinctive and beautiful look. This patina is the result of the natural process of oxidation, which causes the copper to darken and take on a greenish hue. Many people find this natural progression of the metal to be aesthetically pleasing and desirable. In addition to its use in roofing, copper has been used in a variety of decorative applications throughout history. From sculptures and jewelry to vases and candlesticks, copper has been prized for its unique color and malleability. Its versatility as a material makes it a popular choice for designers looking to add a touch of warmth and texture to their creations. Today, copper is still widely used in building and home decor. From ceiling tiles and backsplashes to light fixtures and furniture, copper has made a resurgence in popularity in recent years. Its timeless appeal and durability make it a smart choice for those looking to invest in high-quality materials for their home or commercial space. Whether used in a traditional or modern context, copper continues to be a beloved material in the world of building and design. Its rich history and enduring beauty ensure that it will remain a staple in home decor for generations to come Metal recycling salvage Recycling scrap Copper Circuit board copper scrap Copper scrap valuation Copper scrap buyer Metal disposal facility
