After 10 years at Mumsnet, I am logging off and leaving at the end of the year - will def be on the ‘other side’ and keeping an eye on the team. It’s been amazing at MNHQ - seeing the site grow and develop and to work with a great team but time for a change for me personally.

A big ask, but I would love to test double buggies next year as I suspect (hope) we might be needing one!

Would also be keen to test any food which claims to appeal to the world's fussiest toddlers! If you're feeling generous MNHQ, I'd also love to test a spray which claims to safely guarantee that said toddler sleeps all night, plus an auto bum-wiping device would be good. And baby wipes that dont make a toddler scream when they (very gently) touch his face.

I’d love to test some tech gadgets for helping make life easier with a newborn/young baby as a first time mum!
Or gin....everyone loves gin

Hoovers or buggy’s would be fab to test

Both much needed with a crawling baby

Hello everyone,
Early this year I became a mum for the first time , most of my family and friends live far away from me and I didn’t want to annoy them all the time about all things BABY but instead I did rely on Mumsnet. Over here I found everything from colic ,nappy rash , teething etc . Since I didn’t have any experience with babies but finding everything on Mumsnet made me feel like I have someone else by my side . This community made the newborn days glide a lot easier . I love trying products before hand and reading reviews from fellow mums rather than bloggers/vloggers because they’re getting paid for their opinion and I dont really know how genuine are they . So for everything baby related I would turn to baby forums more . I would love to try more things like puschairs , carseats , toys . Loved testing all the products that Have been sent to us .
And thank you for everything Ann and good luck on your next journey .

We tested the valspar paint which was so good that we have subsequently bought it again for decorating in our new house. I'd happily try out household goods (washing powders etc) as ut is good to have preconceptions challenged

I would love the chance to product test running, swimming or cycling gear. I do a lot of all of them and find buying new kit really hard as it is expensive and you tend to have to buy it online. I've been a swimmer for a long time, and know that speedo cossies still fit me best - but am new to cycling and quite bemused by what female cyclists actually wear. Particularly keen to know how you set up a saddle to cope with historic episiotomy and labour damage!

I would like to test Hello Fresh or a veg box delivery service in the new year.

We got to test the Moshi monsters box which my daughter absolutely loved. I would like to test some beauty products or maybe some weaning products in a few months when my baby is old enough :)

I’ve joined the panel I’m looking forward to hopefully testing done products next year!

Loved testing products. We were lucky enough to test nappies, pull up pants, soreen and deodorant.....I would love to have been selected to test the mattress......mmm sleep! Hope to continue testing in 2018. Would love to test some pre- school educational technology

I enjoyed the Bird's Eye Chicken product test as it gave me some new ideas for the use of one of the only protein sources my child will eat.

Future product tests for places and experiences that I might not think to visit with my family would be exciting.

I have followed and re-tweeted.

I joined the panel

I haven't been selected to test anything this year, I don't think. Am hopeful for 2018!

I'd like to test a pressure cooker to see if I can be parted from my trusty slow cooker, or something for older primary aged children.

Loved having the fanta can sat on the sideboard with a DO NOT DRINK sign on it all year! Only joking! Did love the lamb test - we now regularly have lamb steaks midweek, which has livened up our meals.

I particularly enjoyed the Love Lamb Week recipe test. I love lamb so it was great to get out of my weeknight cooking rut with some fairly easy recipes.

I found the washing machine feed/reviews helpful.

I've enjoyed taking part on different levels and being part of the conversation as a Panel member.

I'd like to see tried out/tested mattresses, vacuum cleaners, child friendly tablets, photo books, Wellington boots for adults and children, family friendly backpack that really have all the pockets you need. Family friendly holidays on all budgets, spa days that really are good value for money (not just a pool, sauna and lunch - we all need a little pamper), a stroller that works on the beach and tube as well as on an unmade road or pavement, microwaves (I had to try three before I found an ok one last month)...

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year ✨

Loved testing the Aveeno baby moisturiser as it finally introduced us to a non-prescription product that agrees with DD's sensitive skin.

For next year, I'd love to test a next stage car seat - the choices seems much more complex than Group 0+

i have retweeted some of your lovely tweets. Merry Christmas

Its my third year as an insight panel member and I've enjoyed the variety of samples to test this year...The sanctuary in shower moisturiser was lovely to test anf I enjoyed the wholegrain challenge and Birds eye meals trial. Reading eggs was also fun! Next year I'd love to test some more beauty products and I always dream of being selected to try an appliance! I'm pregnant and so looking forward to trially pregnancy products and new baby items! Thanks for a fab year!

I loved taking part in the lidl pull ups testing. id really like to test out pocket pushchairs (ultra compact) next year. love this site, thank you for all the opportunities. Happy New Year

I really enjoyed the taste of lamb trial - it certainly opened my eyes to the different ways you can cook a quick and tasty dish with lamb

I've very much enjoyed testing products, especially the liz earle which was a real treat whilst I was pregnant and has become a favourite
Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavours Ann!

I would love to product test a vaccum cleaner, especially a model that can pick up glitter!

signed up thanks
