Getting advice before you buy

Shopping for a baby is a whole new world, particularly the first time round, and some of these decisions are genuinely hard to make from a product page. We'd much rather help you get it right than have you guess.

Where our advice tends to be most useful:

• Travel systems and pushchairs. Weight, fold size, whether it fits your car boot, and what actually works for daily life
• Car seats. Fit, stage, and compatibility with your car and your pushchair
• Nursery furniture. Sizes, what works in the space you have, and what you'll still be using in three years
• What you actually need. There's a lot marketed at new parents. We'll happily tell you what's worth it and what isn't

Ways to get in touch:

• Phone: +44 1778 562809, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00
• Email: info@oliversbabycare.co.uk - emails sent outside office hours are answered in order from Monday morning
• Come and see us at our Langtoft shop, Monday to Saturday, 09:00 to 17:00

Coming in is usually best for the big decisions. You can push a pram around, sit in the furniture, check a car seat actually fits your car, and compare things side by side. There's free parking, baby changing, and no pressure to buy on the day. See Visiting our shop.

Free car seat fitting. We'll fit your seat properly and show you how to do it yourself. See Free car seat fitting.

We'll give you an honest answer. If something isn't right for you, we'll say so. If a cheaper option would do the job, we'll tell you that too.
