Buying for Baby Appointment

My husband and I attended a buying for baby appointment today with Dani and couldn’t be more over the moon. I was initially very overwhelmed with the amount of choice available and Dani was so helpful and knowledgeable, we decided on a full travel set and we are so happy with our choice. Couldn’t thank Dani enough for her help. 100% would recommend to friends and family.

Tarry did our ‘buying for baby’ appointment and was so helpful, as first time parents we have no clue about anything! She showed us everything from prams to nursery equipment and there were no questions unanswered, very worthwhile. We felt very at ease and Tarry offered us great deals without it being salesy which was fantastic, thank you!

I had such a lovely experience at Mamas & Papas thanks to Trish. She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the whole process. She took the time to show me different prams, explain the options, and answer all my questions without ever making me feel rushed. I really appreciated her kindness and excellent customer service. Thank you so much, Trish, for making the experience so easy and enjoyable! 💕

Absolutely amazing service!

The staff, Jill and Tina are absolutely amazing, so so helpful and friendly just what you need when you’re a first time parent or soon to be parent everything is so confusing. Their product knowledge is spot on, I would 100% recommend visiting the Swansea store!

Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing experience.

We received the stroller as a gift, but unfortunately one of the wheels was defective from day one. It constantly deflects and makes the stroller difficult and unsafe to push properly.

We contacted customer support immediately, and after two months of back-and-forth emails, we still haven't received the replacement part. Even worse, they kept contacting the person who bought us the stroller instead of communicating with us directly, despite us following up multiple times.

Our son is now three months old, and we're still waiting for a simple replacement wheel. A premium product should come with premium customer service, and this experience has been the complete opposite.

The product issue itself could have been resolved quickly, but the lack of communication, constant delays, and failure to provide a clear timeline turned a small manufacturing defect into an extremely frustrating customer experience.

I cannot recommend this brand based on the after-sales support we received.

Brilliant Buying for Baby

We had a fantastic Buying for Baby appointment with manager Zoe at the Mamas & Papas Swindon store and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

When we arrived, the store was incredibly busy, but every member of staff was working so hard to help everyone. They were even handing out bottles of water to customers waiting, which was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated as I’m pregnant.

Zoe was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We came in with no real knowledge of prams or baby equipment and were completely starting from scratch. She listened carefully to what we needed, took the time to understand our lifestyle and what we were looking for, and guided us through all of the different options without making us feel overwhelmed.

She demonstrated how everything worked, encouraged us to fold and lift the prams ourselves to make sure they were the right fit, and answered every question we had. At no point did we feel pressured into buying anything or upsold on products we didn’t need. Instead, she gave us honest, practical advice about what was genuinely essential.

Our appointment lasted around an hour, and we never once felt rushed despite how busy the store was. Zoe was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and made what could have been a really daunting experience feel exciting and enjoyable.

Thank you, Zoe, for making our first baby shopping experience such a positive one. We left feeling so much more confident and informed. We would highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

A huge thank you to Matt at the Maidstone Mamas & Papas store.

I wanted to leave a review to say a huge thank you to Matt at the Maidstone Mamas & Papas store.

The first time I visited, I was just starting to get ideas about what we'd need for our baby. Matt was incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I never felt pressured into buying anything, he genuinely just wanted to help and answer any questions I had, which made the whole experience really enjoyable.

A little while later, my parents very kindly decided they wanted to buy our travel system as a gift. My mum called the store and spoke to Matt, and once again he went above and beyond. He took the time to make sure she got the best value from her purchase and helped her make the most of the offers available, which I was so grateful for.

Excellent customer service is hard to come by, but Matt really made a lasting impression. He's a real credit to Mamas & Papas, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Maidstone store because of the experience we had. Thank you, Matt!

We visited the Chelmsford concession store to get an idea of what to buy for our daughter who’s due in October. James was very attentive and patient, explaining the different features of prams and the car seats. We also got shown some example cots and a next to me crib. We left feeling well advised and optimistic. Thank you James!

We had good experience shopping for our baby’s travel system in Chelmsford branch. Carmen helped us understand the different options and guided us towards choosing the right travel system to our needs. She was patient in answering our questions and made the process easier. We are happy with our purchase and appreciate her assistance.

Excellent service

I called and spoke to Holly about purchasing a pram bundle. Holly was very accommodating with a quick quote, delivery dates and provided details of offers that were available. Holly was very friendly and helpful.

Holly - Thank you.

As first-time parents, we didn’t really know where to start with prams, car seats, and everything else. That changed when we met Holly. She spent about an hour with us, walking through the products, showing us how everything works, and explaining the pros and cons in a really clear, easy-to-understand way. She was patient, knowledgeable, and never made us feel rushed. We left feeling much more confident about our purchase and what to expect. Really impressed with Holly—thank you for all your help.

Delivery problems & poor communication

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience ordering from Mamas & Papas.

I was told on 3 separate occasions that my delivery was scheduled for Friday 24th July. This was confirmed by email from a member of staff, over the phone by customer services, and again in store when I was told a mattress couldn’t be added to the order because the delivery had already been processed and confirmed. My online account also showed the delivery date as 24th July right up until late that morning.

To make matters even more confusing, I received a DHL delivery slot for that afternoon, which I later discovered was only for a fittings pack. As some of the cotbed fittings received on my first delivery were faulty and therefore required replacement.

At around 11:10am on the day of delivery, after I’d taken annual leave to be at home, I received an email saying my delivery wasn’t happening and that it had been delayed by 5 days. I then spent over 30 minutes on the phone to customer services trying to understand what had happened. For them to tell me that it was an internal error and staff would be given the proper training to make sure this didn’t happen again. They also advised that they could bring the date forward by 1 day which is still 4 days after the agreed delivery date.

Wasting 2 days annual leave when pregnant and because of poor communication and internal errors is incredibly frustrating.

Following my complaint, Mamas & Papas offered a very small gesture of goodwill as an apology for the poor service. However given the repeated misinformation, the wasted annual leave, the last-minute delays and the amount of time Ive spent resolving an error that wasn’t mine, I don’t feel this adequately reflects the level of inconvenience caused.

Very disappointing service and I expected much better communication and customer service from this company and for the amount spent.

Danielle was amazing and made our experience very relaxing and personal. She had so much time for us and explained all the different payment options and plans we had to make everything as flexible as possible. She was so informed about all the products and had lots of knowledge. We came away and felt like we had a lovely experience and the best customer service we had received in a while. Thanks Danielle! x

Amy C was incredible

Amy C was incredible, she gave us so much of her time and didn’t make us feel rushed at all - she even had to extend our parking for us to give us more flexibility which was lovely! We got such a personalised experience, which was exactly what we needed as this was our first baby appointment and we needed a lot of information! Amy C was very knowledgable about all the products we asked about, but she also understood that we wanted most of all to learn about the pushchairs and she taught us everything. We ended up falling in love with the Maxi Cosi pram bundle and ordered it on the spot. Thanks again for all your help!

Watford Baby Buying session - amazing

We had our Buying for Baby session booked at Watford, and we were warmly welcomed by Hope, who was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable and quickly made us feel at ease, which resulted in a wonderfully relaxed and insightful appointment. Very needed for new parents with little to no knowledge. We could confidently choose our travel system because of Hope’s help, as well as take advantage of the specials.
Truly a wonderful experience and we’re so grateful to Hope for making big decisions feel like the right ones. Will recommend to anyone and everyone.
