BLOOMing lovely baby

Bloom Baby create some pretty special baby pieces. Run by four, clearly very passionate and style aware dads, it is a brand that wants to make a difference to baby homes- adding functional but beautiful products. Their products are pieces of art- but ones that every parent has a need for. The perfect combination of luxury and necessity their products are undeniably delicious looking.

My nano (ultra thin and light highchair) has just arrived in the post. I am now going to run you through the unpacking, the putting together and the end result to see whether the delicious design is also as functional as I so hope it is (and all before the blue lights on the baby monitor start moving up and down again).

It has taken about six minutes. Start to finish. I followed the instructions- mainly- and the big pictures and few words make it very clear what to do. Make sure you take note of the A and B sides as I ignored this and got the tray table bar stuck in the wrong sides. Despite this minor hiccup (on my part) it still only took me six minutes to click everything into place (NO tools needed).

Downsides: If you are silly like me and get the bar in wrong way round your fingers may be sore once you get it out. The seat cover looks a little baggy and creased but I am sure some use will sort this out. It is also a little heavier than I had hoped (but with this comes its sturdiness despite its slightness so it is not all bad!)

Upsides: It is as stylish as promised. It is ultra slimline and looks great. I am slightly regretting choosing white but then it just looks so stylish. The straps are sumptuously padded and the mechanism for collapsing it works effortlessly. With one tug on the tray table and one squeeze at the back it neatly folds into its slimline curve. The seat cover will be very easy to clean with minimal creases and the tray table is large and sturdy. For £100 it offers affordable style with the added benefit of being great for travel or storing out of the way.


I am a big fan. Blooming lovely baby products. More to be tested soon!

Now to open twin two's before the monitor shows signs of the disco.
