Mamas & Papas

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.

  30. 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

  32. 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 🙁

  52. 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
