Bellaroos Noos

First, did you see some of our fabulous products showcased on the Good Morning show?!  (24 July)  The host, Sarah, especially loved our awesome PouchMISS and b-buckle.  We were very excited to to hear Bellaroo's name as well as seeing the enthusiasm the hosts showed towards our products.  In addition to the PouchMISS and b-buckle, they also showed off our beautiful Peanut Shell slings and Diapees and Wipees nappy pouch.  So cool!

We have also just started stocking some gorgeous new ring slings.  They are 100 % cotton, have strong aluminium rings, cool patterns and an amazing price.  We have started with three new patterns and will be expanding soon.  Ring slings are great because they are fully adjustable. They are ideal for those who want to share their slings with a partner or a caregiver.  Slings really settle babies and keep mums "hands free" so that we can actually get some stuff done or tend to older children.  Check out our range of ring and pouch slings online. 

(don't let the photo of the tired lady(me) scare you off - they are beautiful!)



As always, the Peanut Shell slings are still a big seller and we were lucky enough to get a great deal from Peanut Shell which we are passing on to you!  They are starting at $77!!! Peanut Shell's usually start at $98 so this is an amazing deal.  Don't miss out.



The PouchMISS has been an absolute hit with our customers so we have ordered more stock so no one misses out.  Check out the PouchMISS on our site, it's so cool, and so so practical.  Only a woman (and mother) could have thought of it!  It's a great price too, which in these lean times, is important to all of us Mums.  Also, congrats to Lee M. of Mt Maunganui for winning our PouchMISS competition. 

Hi all,

I hope all of you saw us (or rather, our products) on the Good Morning tv show this morning.   If you missed it....here's the scoop.

The Good Morning show goodie bag was full of Bellaroo's all time favourite products - a chic Peanut Shell sling, a cool Caribe Disco Dot Diapees & Wipees nappy pouch, a b-buckle and finally our super snazzy organiser, the PouchMISS, which turns your handbag into a nappy bag!

It was great to see the enthusiasm the hosts had for our products and Sarah, the female host, especially loved the PouchMISS and the b-buckle.  I thought you might be interested to know more about these two products.

The PouchMISS is such a great product.  It's this great insert that basically organises everything you need for you and bubs to get out of the house.  You slip it into your oversize hand bag and voila! - it's a nappy bag in disguise.  I know many of you like that idea as the novelty of a nappy bag wears off rather quickly.  The PouchMISS is very affordable too - only $43.95!



The b-buckle is a waist expander for jeans and other trousers with belt loops.  It's a great way to get more wear out of your favourite jeans and delay the inevitable transition to the dreaded maternity jeans.  They are also great for when you are getting back into your jeans after you have baby.  The b-buckle loops through your belt loops, snaps, and looks chic and trendy.  It's a perfect gift for a friend or for yourself and at a sweet price too - $28.60.

My dear friend and loyal customer, Rachael, was generous enough to write this witty piece about her experiences traveling with her two young boys....her sling saved the day! :)

Our first experience of international travelling with small children (Three years-old and eight months old) was anything but successful ( near-drownings, cancelled flights and tropical storms were but a few of our dramas, but that’s another story), but my experience of travelling using a ring sling was a great success.

 Anyone who has travelled with children before is, I am sure, well aware that you don’t travel light. From the minute we entered the airport, I was grateful that I had had the foresight to pack this marvellous invention as strapping the eight month old to my chest using the front carry technique meant that he could see what was going on and I had both hands free to juggle the incorporated paraphernalia that we were dragging along with us; and restrain the over-excited three year old. My ring sling also has handily discrete pockets which were unbelievably handy for hiding passports and important documents.

 The beauty of a ring sling is that is adjustable and can be used for babies of varying ages, and in many different ways.  The front carry and hip carry positions were fantastic for the airport as they enabled Tane to see the world from his lofty position on my chest and hip. However, whilst on the flight I was able to adjust it so that when Tane finally got tired enough to want to sleep (this did take a while, even he knew something exciting was going on!), I could place him in the cradle hold position and he slept as if he was in a hammock. This was again a blessing in disguise as it meant that I still had my hands free to entertain the three year-old who was not in the least bit interested in sleeping.

 I also found the sling handy while I was breast feeding on and off the plane as it covered us both discreetly – not high on my list of concerns normally, but always something to take into consideration when travelling in more conservative or restricted countries.

 When we arrived at our destination, the ring sling time and again proved its worth when carting gear around with children in tow, or when travelling through busy city areas. Knowing that you have both your hands free to grasp on to wriggling three year-olds when trapped in small areas with thousands of people gave me more peace of mind than I can begin to describe.

My partner even braved his fear of wearing pink (ok, so I didn’t think about the manliness factor when I chose my sling colour) and wore the sling when I had to work and he was left with the children for the day. I think his exact words when asked for comment were: “Oh yeah, it’s pretty good”, which I am sure many women will appreciate as generous praise from the male species.

If we were to head away from these shores again in the near future, the first thing I would pack would be my ring sling.
