Staff Product Pick of the Week

 

Who are you? Samanta    

Where do you work in the store? Toys and Maternity

What do you like? I like the Grobag.

Why is this your favourite product in the store?

“I love the Grobag because it’s a great way to put the little one to sleep. In fact a regular blanket can fall off or wake up your baby. In addition, the benefit of having your baby in a Grobag means having no loose blankets in the crib that can possibly cause suffocation or entrapment. Every aspect of the Grobag has been designed and manufactured with safety and quality as the top priority. It’s a safe and sound night’s sleep for your baby which means peace of mind and more sleep"
