Boba 4G is here!

Well well...

Boba 4G is here!

It is a an improved version of Boba 3G.

Just like the Boba 3G, you do not need an additional infant insert that you have to purchase in order to use it with newborn baby.

What are the differences between the Boba 3G and Boba 4G?

1. Redesigned 'newborn hold'. 

Boba 4g no longer requires you to roll the waist belt and flip the buckles. Boba 4G now features a new infant insert/infant pillow that boost up an infant.

This insert has 2 different stages, one designed for infants/newborns (in the fetal tuck) and a second that resolves the difficult 'in between' stage. Once the insert is no longer needed, it may be completely removed.







**Boba 3g does not have infant insert/pillow. Basically it is EASIER to carry newborn in 4g than in 3g.



2. Slightly redesigned hood.

The hood straps are slightly longer to allow for the hood to be used at a diagonal, providing head support for sleeping babies/toddlers. The hood is also slightly thinner.

**Boba 3g has thicker hood and the design is different.


3. Wider base.

The new Boba 4g has wider cutting than the previous 3g by a few centimeters. I haven't measured, but I think wider just an inch, maybe? You can check the picture below. The carrier on top is Boba 3g while the one under it is Boba 4g.





Available in printed and plain design.








Just 'Contact Us' to order or click here.


Thank you!

What is the best baby carrier?

I want to buy the best baby carrier for my baby. Can you suggest what brand?

Oh....

That is a tough question and I do get that A LOT.

It's pretty subjective too.

What works best for me may not work best for you... and vice versa.

It's as if people asking you which clothes do you like best... or which brand of shoes is your favorite? And asking you to suggest which brand works well for them.

So my advise is.... read lots of reviews and TRY before you purchase.

There is Malaysian Babywearers group in Facebook you can join. Sometimes there will be gatherings or meet ups where you can try lots of carriers... be it SSC (soft structured carrier), wraps, mei tais, pouches, ring slings etc.

Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/malaysianbabywearers/

Other alternative is, you can go to shops that have the baby carriers for you to try. I don't have a shop, but I welcome visitors/potential customers to come to my house and try baby carriers (with appointments).

Or last but not least, you can rent the carrier first. Use it for 1-2 weeks and see how you like it. Quite pricey at first cos you have to pay deposit and postage fees, but hey, at least you will know for sure how the carrier feels like when you carry your child for hours in it! (you cant put your child in ssc that you try in shops more than 1 hour, can you? Else the salesgirl will give you a knowing smile... =D)

So yeah... it's a tough question. Usually I will suggest based on what carriers I sell only. :)

Good luck!

Quinny Zapp Xtra 2 - An improved stroller



The Zapp Xtra 2 stroller is here!

Quinny has improved its stroller and making the Zapp Xtra 2 with folding seat and still maintained its 3-wheels features (I personally think 3 wheels Zapp Xtra is more stylish looking than the 4 wheels :P)



Check out the instruction video below:





Cool, isn't it?

No more lugging the big Zapp Xtra seat (the previous version) wherever you go. This is more practical. You can fold the seat together so that definitely saves space!


Get one now!

Oh well... the retail price is RM2299...

Discount???

Please Contact Us to order/enquire. Thanks!

Alat bantuan mengajar dari Desidoll (Part 1)

Salam...

Entry kali ni ditulis dalam BM and BI. Santai gitu...

Dah banyak kali nak update tentang produk Desidoll yang best ni tapi kekangan masa so tak sempat nak buat blog update.

Anyway, below is a few products from Desidoll that we have ready stock.



First and foremost sekali, of course yang paling famous are these dolls. 
Talking Muslim Doll by the name Aminaa for the girl, and Yousuf for the boy.
Patung Yousuf tu didatangkan dengan free white robe sekali :)

Basically, ni patung yang boleh mengeluarkan bunyi la... great for kids yang suka main patung. Dari main saja-saje tu, lebih baik belajar sambil bermain kan?

Bila tekan pada patung tu, the doll will recite Quranic words, phrases and surahs together with their meanings... but of course la meanings in English yer. hehe... So bagus untuk ajar anak English at early age too.

Bawah ni details copy paste from Desidoll's website:
  • As-Salamu'Alaikum
  • Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem
  • Al-hamdu lillah
  • Subhanallah
  • Insha'llah
  • Jazakallah Khair
  • Masha'llah
  • La ilaha illallah, Muhammad dur Rasul'llah
  • Surah Ikhlas followed by translation
  • Surah Fatiha followed by translation
  • Songs about Islam

Ada extra catridge sold separately untuk words/songs yang berbeza. :)



Next is, 1st Phonics Sound Puzzle!

I really love this puzzle. Yes, it's for learning phonics, but you can also use it to teach alphabets to your child. The fact that every alphabet comes with sound from each pictures, it is a very fascinating learning tool for children!

For example, M is for monkey. 
When you placed the M word at its place, you'll hear monkey's sound.
^__^

Check out the video below:




Fun, right??


That's not all... there is the Second Phonics Puzzle too.


Use your Second Phonics Puzzle to learn about 'digraphs'
'Digraphs' are simply 2 letters grouped together to make one unit of sound
Replace the pieces to hear: 
  • the sound of the 'digraph' e.g. "ai", "ee", "ie"
  • a word that contains the 'digraph' e.g. "train", "bee", "pie"
  • a fun sound associated with that word and picture e.g. "train whistle", "buzzing bee"
    Learning Objectives:
    • encourages children to recognise and learn the sounds of the 'digraphs'
    • encourages listening skills
    • enhances vocabulary and simple word formation using both puzzles
    • encourages hand eye co-ordination
    A fun way to build on basic pure phonics learning the 'digraphs'
    • suitable for children 3+ years
    • made from quality wood
    • includes 2xAAA batteries
    • comes with a Parents/Teachers guide
    • meets UK and European Standards for Toy Safety, EN71, CE


    Best kan?

    Will update more products later.

    Stay tuned.
