Tested to fit with your life

Research

We aim to know your every want, need and desire. That´s why our products are tested with you and your baby in mind. Our laboratory is independently accredited by the UK Accreditation Service UKAS. Not only are our products tested to the required British, European or American safety standards but we have created our own unique testing systems specifically to make sure our products meet your needs. This makes us unique amongst all UK Nursery brands.

Design

Here at Mamas & Papas we try to keep everything in house, that´s why we have an innovative design and development team working side by side our on-site testing lab.

Testing

Pushchairs

Amongst numerous other tests, we test the durability of our pushchairs on a rolling road for a constant 46 hours, that´s the equivalent to pushing a 3 year old 143 miles on an uneven pavement! We go above and beyond when testing pushchairs and buggies by folding them 3,285 times in a 12 hour period – the equivalent of folding your buggy 3 times per day for 3 years.

We test the equivalent to pushing a 3 year old 143 miles!

Car Seats

We work in partnership with leading laboratories and organisations around the world to ensure absolute safety of all our car seats. On top of this we test all our car seats in the most popular cars to check fit and compatibility.

Our car seats are simulated in a front impact car crash at 30 mph

Baby Carriers

We test baby carriers over and above official European standards. Baby Carriers are submitted to an extensive testing program which subjects the baby carrier to the equivalent of a lifetime´s use in a short period of time.

We replicate a parent carrying a 9 month old for 50,000 steps!

Cradles

Our cradles are tested with a mass of 20kg (15kg is an average 3year old!) So you can be sure your child will be well supported and secure.

We replicate lifting a 9 month old child off the floor 15,000 times!

Cots and Cot/Beds

We know your child may not just lie down on the cot or cot bed so every component, from the sides to the base are tested in order to seek out weaknesses. And best of all, you can sit comfortably on the edge of the bed to read your child a bedtime story.

We simulate a 10 child jumping on a cot base 1000 times, in 5 different places

Fabrics

All of our fabrics are tested for colour fastness and shrinkage.

We pull test all seams and small parts to the equivalent weight of a 9 – 11 month old child

Highchairs

The stability of highchairs is very important so amongst other tests, we suspend a 15kg weight on the side of the highchair to ensure it doesn´t tip over.

We overload our highchairs with a weight of 40kg to check they are ‘up to task’

Toys

Our toys are risk assessed during all stages of development including seam strength and danger from small parts.

All our ride on toys are tested with a 50kg weight
