Today we would like to share some of the new arrivals at our outlets which have just arrived last Friday. These are just a summary for many new items that we have, and there will be dedicated post (few already posted) for some of the exclusive items that will come along later.
Some of you might be aware of these new items already, as we realised that there are many items selling fast! Oops, so sorry for the delayed update.
New items from Playskool…
This is a 2-in-1 walker with push car for babies age 9 months and above. The above picture is the push car mode.
“Jeng! Transformer is here…” Haha, just kidding. You can actually convert it to become a walker mode, which aids your baby when he or she starts to learn to walk. Simple yet very attractive.
Cute little Wheel Pals and Mini Wheel Pals, colourful, and great for babies’ little hand.

In this day and age when people are looking for new and better ways to optimize their health, there has been a growing movement towards going organic. Organic food is naturally raised and grown and therefore free of additives and preservatives. Research has shown that the eating of organic food is far healthier for the human body – and supports a healthier environment.
It stands to reason, therefore, that organic clothing does its part for the environment as well as a service to those who wear it. And no other organic clothing is as popular as organic baby clothing.
Facts: Cotton crops alone account for $2.6 billion in pesticides used each year and is the definition of a chemically dependent agriculture. Even though cotton only uses 2.4% of all cultivated land, 25% of the world’s pesticides and 10% of the world’s insecticides are used on it yearly.
In other words, for every one pair of jeans and t-shirt produced, 1 pound of pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used. The problems with clothing production do not stop in the field. During the conversion of conventional cotton into clothing, numerous toxic chemicals are added at each stage – harsh petroleum scours, softeners, brighteners, heavy metals, flame and soil retardants, ammonia and formaldehyde – to name just a few.
How does non-organic clothing affect our children?
Did you know that a baby’s skin is more porous and thinner and far more sensitive than adults? That means that their skin absorbs things very easily. A baby’s skin is thinner, more fragile and less oily than an adult’s. A baby’s skin also produces less melanin, the substance that helps protect against sunburn. It’s less resistant to bacteria and harmful substances in the environment, especially if it’s irritated. Babies also sweat less efficiently than the rest of us, so it’s harder for them to maintain their inner body temperature. This means that children are at greater risk for pesticide-related health problems than adults.
