We're delighted to announce that Mums Best, the mumsnet guide to the best stuff for parents - a quarterly compilation of mumsnet's product reviews - will shortly be available free of charge in Mothercare. Mums Best is a handbag-sized book/magazine that offers new and veteran parents alike your collected wisdom on everything you need to buy for your child from nappies to holidays, via pushchairs and trikes and a whole lot more. If you'd like a copy you can order one here for post and packing costs only.

Of course there would be no Mums Best without you, so to every member who's lamented the brakes on their travel system or raved about kids' clubs in Kos and found the time to send us a review, thank you. We hope you like it!

Mumsnet hq's offical stance on the bat is here . Dunno if we can fit it in the book though...

never do em on mumsnet postings except for readability eg diff between we're and were.

WideWebWitch · 15/09/2005 21:08

totally agree, mumsbest would have been good with mn logo and style and everything.

Hi there,
Can we ask if anyone has picked up a copy of mumsbest from Mothercare - have you noticed it out there - and if so what do you think of it?

I was in Mothercare World in Croydon on Saturday, and didn't see it at all. I'm planning on heading back that way at the end of the week (overdue for an IKEA breakfast!), so I'll have another look then...

I went into Mothercare on Saturday with the sole intention of picking up a copy but there was no sign of it, and when I asked the assistant she hadn't got a clue what I was talking about.

JustineMumsnet · 26/09/2005 15:00

Thanks very much for that feedback - we'll have to get on to Mothercare and see what the story is. Do let us know if and when they show up!

there weren't any in the bluewater mothercare on thursday either....

Well I didn't see it in sunny Eltham's branch on Sat, but 1) I wasn't scouring the shelves for it, tbh and 2) it is the UK's direst branch
I never give up hope of finding something I need/want in there, so will check again next time I'm in

WigWamBam · 08/10/2005 15:08

I went into Mothercare in Birmingham again this morning - still no sign of it, and the assistant looked at me as if I had two heads when I asked for it, she hadn't got a clue what I was talking about.

I was in mothercare world in Croydon twice this weeks and looked for the book/mag.

Didn't see any sign of it though, loads of other leaflets but nothing from MN

In theory they are being given out to folks redeeming Bounty vouchers (at 20 weeks pregnant)- ie from behind counter - and those shopping for pregnancy/ new baby items by staff directly. We're not surprised they are not on display as such but are slightly concerned that staff have not heard of them... Thanks for pointing out - any more experiences would be most useful.

Haven't seen them - will try redeeming a Bounty voucher in the Watford Mothercare World and see if they hand me one.

nappydays1 · 12/10/2005 22:17

picked up a copy in Mothercare a couple of weeks ago at the Hayes branch i think. Only wish this had been available whilst pregnant....such a valuable guide.

LadyTophamHatt · 12/10/2005 22:35

was in MC again today, still nothing.
