Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

I just had a quick look at her items - the prices seem a little too good to be true though...

I would be concerned they are cheap knockoffs from China as all I had to do was type fisher price into one of my china sourcing websites and it brought up a heap of listings for manufacturers for fisher price. Ditto when I typed in Baby Jogger it brought up the pink bugaboo stroller she is selling.
Are any of them genuine? Hell no. All you had to do was watch the show on foxtel about 3 weeks ago about chinese GHDs that actually burst into flames 2 hours after being left on and I have left mine on for a whole day (yes naughty, naughty I know) and it was only hot when I came home. They were also known to singe hair but it was hard to tell them apart from the genuine item |

I would also be concerned over cheap knockoffs from china.
The following offerings from their Baby Products has be really concerned... QUOTE Britax Eclipse SI Britax Evolva Britax Kidfix Britax Baby Safe Sleeper Kiddy Cruiser Pro Group Kiddy Comfort Pro Group Kiddy Infinity Pro Car Seat Kiddy Energy Pro Car Seat Maxi Cosi Priori Sps Maxi Cosi Priori Xp Maxi Cosi Pebble Maxi Cosi Cabriofix Maxi Cosi Pearl Maxi Cosi Tobi Maxi Cosi Axiss Car Seat Maxi-Cosi Rodi Air Protect And their statement to the question # QUOTE Angela Do the car seats meet Aus standards?? oh and where are you located? about an hour ago # Warehouse - wholesale prices yes it does meet aus standards ALL those car seats are EU car seats and are NOT sold in Australia and are ILLEGAL to use. Someone (if they have them here) is selling seats ILLEGALLY (as it is illegal to sell a non Aust Stds car seat in Australia). SO BUYER BEWARE.... IF it LOOKS TOO GOOD.... IT PROBABLY IS and BE PREPARED TO BE RIPPED OFF/GET A DODGY ITEM. ETA The bugaboo frog stopped production years ago (in favour of the Cammy).

QUOTE (Bubs10 @ 15/10/2010, 05:38 PM)  Her comments "i have been told they are real" doesn't instill me with confidence!!!! Me neither considering I have ordered trial stuff before and found that it was definately not real although the 'company' maintained it was. This applies to everything from electronics to clothing coming from China. Yes some things are hard to spot the difference but when it comes to safety why risk it? |

Further on the car seats....
QUOTE # Emma Yeah realise that those car seats DO NOT meet the Australian standards and are ILLEGAL to use in Australia don't you? You should provide correct information if you are going to sell these car seats. 42 minutes ago # Warehouse - wholesale prices i have been informed that they do meet the australian standards i apologise if incorrect and i will remove car seats That really does not instill confidence. Someone is getting stuff in from overseas (not from the real wholesalers here) so really dodgy IMHO. Also note their DVD's Dinsey on release have stuff which is "in the Vault" for Disney (ie. not being produced to be sold)..... so knock off stuff there. |
