Families needed to test new Philips Sonicare for kids - you must have a child aged 4-10

We've been asked by Philips to find 20-25 families who can test their new Sonicare for Kids rechargeable toothbrushes.

Each family selected will get to keep the brushes, worth £70 each, and will be required to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet after using the brush for a couple of weeks. We'll start this thread once the brushes have been sent out.

Everyone who adds feedback will also be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of Sonicare FlexCare toothbrushes (for adults) - worth £160 each.

Philips say their new brush is designed for children aged 4 to 10 years, and is based on the same technology as Sonicare FlexCare for adults, but with power levels and features specially suited for smaller, younger mouths. Tough on plaque yet suitably gentle on young teeth and gums, Sonicare For Kids removes 75% more plaque than a manual toothbrush. 91% of US dental professionals who did a trial of the the brush with their own children said they preferred Sonicare for Kids over their child's previous brush.

To be in with a chance of testing this new product, please add your details. You must live in the UK and have a child aged 4-10.

We're able to send out two brushes to families who are selected who have more than one child aged 4-10.

Thanks and good luck!

Not gloating but so pleased we got picked. Ds1's teeth are sooooo aweful that I am really worried about him . He has already had to have them cleaned by the hygenist once and they are already yellow again. Hopefully this will help. Thanks mumsnet!

Ah -- I always assumed that it was the product company who selected based on the "please choose me" statements. If it's MNHQ I shall change my tactics immediately and go more for statements about how witty, intelligent and generally lovely everyone at MN Towers, particularly Ann, is.

I've ended up having to order two of them from the Boots website. I do think MN could at least have struck a deal and got us a promo deal on this - tsk! C'mon HQ gals....make these big manufacturers hurt pay for their research!

Thank you mumsnet...dd1's arrived today . I haven't told her about it tho' as it needs charged for a full day before using so waaaaaay too long to wait!

It looks great by the way. Has a wee musical timer to encourage the kids to brush for the full 2 mins and automatically switches off at the end.

Thanks again
