The space-saving and clever design of the cotbed (pictured) is long-lasting - taking your baby from birth to around 4 years

What is it? A good-value cotbed that's slightly smaller than standard cot beds. While it's space-saving, its clever design is also long-lasting - taking your baby from birth to around 4 years. 
Stylish and easy to build, it features a toddler rail and the option to leave three sides up for a smooth transition from cot to bed. Perhaps most importantly, testers also found their children slept well in it.
MFM tester Brogan, mum of three children, comments: 'It is truly a beautiful bed and my son has slept fantastically since we put it up.'

What is it? The ability to quickly and easily sterilise key items has become increasingly important for families during the past year. 
The Nuby UV steriliser is remarkably versatile - not only does it sterilise baby bottles in just three minutes, it also sterilises toys, breast pump parts and even your mobile phone (as long as they're dry). 
There's no heat involved, instead this steriliser uses ultraviolet light to blast bacteria.
MFM tester Georgina, mum of a six-month-old baby, says: 'The ease and speed of this machine makes it well worth the money, and there's no need for descaling or cleaning after each cycle. It is a massive time-saver and will make your life easier.'

This service sees globe-trotting cat Banjo Robinson send a personalised letter to your child twice a month, prompting them to write a reply (pictured)

What is it? This brilliantly simple service sees globe-trotting cat Banjo Robinson send a personalised letter to your child twice a month, prompting them to write a reply - yes, write with a pen and get off those screens that have dominated lockdown home schooling. 
The letters are utterly engaging and convincing - both our child testers, neither of whom are usually very keen or Kombi Servisi reading or writing, immediately penned their replies. 
The first letter comes with a big map your child can use to follow Banjo's journey around the world, collecting stickers and learning with each delivery.
MFM tester Jodie, mum of one, says: 'I struggle to get my six year old to do his writing for school but on receiving Banjo's letter, he couldn't wait to reply. 
'I found him downstairs at 7am writing his letter before breakfast! He was terribly excited to post his response and is eagerly anticipating Banjo's next letter.'

What is it? With more time spent at home over the past year, many parents have decided to use the hours to wash rather than throw away - and reusable wipes are a prime example. 
Helping parents to reduce the amount of plastic wipes going into landfill and our oceans, Tag Togs Washable wipes have soft cotton jersey on one side and absorbent bamboo towelling on the other - both of which are kind to your baby's' skin. 
MFM tester Emma, mum of two, comments: 'The quality of the wipes felt amazing. They washed well and came out amazingly soft, just as they arrived.'
In the words of MFM tester Rhianna, mum of one: 'We love that the wipes are double-sided - the 'smooth' side is good for wiping up wet mess like sauce and the 'rough' side is great for lumpier messes like porridge.'
