Alex Awarded The Dumforter 4.9/5

very impressed it arrived in perfect condition and the packaging is lovely. perfect my older two children loved their soft blankets and dummy but was always losing one or the other! Instructions extremely informative! With the correct guidance for sleep time. extremely easy to use! My child immediately took to it the design attracted him to it straight away. My son has, slept with his dumforter every night since we have received it! And cannot sleep without it! The material is extremely soft and is exactly the soft blanket type material all my kids have loved. I think the style is fantastic he has nibbled on the sides of the dummy for comfort from teething as well as the bottom part of it! Also found it much cleaner than your standard dummies which I think is down to the material of the dummy.  As a comforter this is brilliant and my son uses the soft part and rubs the tip of his nose with it to go asleep! the blanket and teether has been the best parts my son is still breastfed so doesn’t use a dummy a lot but sometimes uses at bedtime. Bedtime! It’s perfect for bedtime giving them comfort and teething relief without having search for teethers in the night or blankets or dummies it’s all right there in one. Extremely easy to keep clean.  I think the dummy is much easier to clean than most standard dummies and the blanket part I wipe down it hasn’t really gotten overly dirty so I have just wiped it down or scrubbed it with a bit of washing up liquid.  Absolutely ideal to take on your travels.  Given the situation we haven’t obviously been on many trips but he has taken it out with us a few times previously. this is a fantastic product and great value for money the design is attractive the style and the combination just makes it an overall stand out product. Great value as not only do you get 1 item but it’s essentially 3 and you can choose from multiple designs! The design is absolutely fantastic I love it! They are so lovely to look at easy to too look after and easy to take out and about! My son definitely  loved the blanket part. He won’t sleep unless he’s tickling his nose with it! The dummy too but I find he’s chewing on that a lot more than suckling it which I suppose is still, the point! 🙂 If this got lost or damaged we would 100% buy another. I already have recommended it to a family member expecting a baby! A 4.9 only the 1 point off as I know that some people on low budgets would find this product to be slightly out of their budget but I personally feel it is fantastic Value as it does 3 things in 1 product with amazing design and very versatile.  I am absolutely delighted with this product and I don’t really feel there’s any room for improvement! The designs are fantastic and eye catching and the blanket material is extremely soft and comforting! The dummies teething texture is a fantastic idea and I hope to see all dummies like this in future! Well done on a fantastic product! Alex Morgan – Elliott 12 Months

Theresa Awarded The Dumforter 5/5

My initial impression of the product was good. I thought it was a great idea & looked well thought out and made. The packaging was sturdy. The concept of design is brilliant. Having everything a child could need to be comforted in a simple system is a great idea. The instructions are simple & straightforward. The product was extremely simple and straightforward for my son to use. My son loves anything that roars so we went for the Terry Tiger design. He liked the soother on its own but did not take to the comforter section. He has formed a strong bond with a blanket and unfortunately the product didn’t manage to break the bond.  But I think if it had been introduced when he was younger it would have been a hit. My son definitely liked the soother in the product. Very effective at bed time. We didn’t use this as a teether. The comforter section is lovely and soft, but unfortunately my soon already has a strong attachment to a blanket and as lovely as the comforter section is, he didn’t take to it. We used the Dumforter most as a soother. It was used at nap time and bed time in his cot. The Dumforter is very easy to keep clean. I think this is a great product to take on holidays etc with a child. The soother/teether and comforter clip together and is small and compact. I think the quality of the product is good. I think this is priced reasonably. I loved the designs available, the soother is very well made and the material for the comforter is so soft. My son enjoyed the design, there was lots of roaring going on. He favoured the soother over his others. If I had known about the product when my son was younger I would have definitely tried it out. Unfortunately although it’s a great product, my son didn’t form an attachment to the comforter, but I think this is more to do with age and his attachment to a blanket already. I would recommend this product to those with younger children than mine who haven’t made an attachment yet. The concept is brilliant, it’s well made, eye catching and although my son didn’t make an attachment he did enjoy the product as a soother. Theresa Schofield – Zachary 19 Months

Steph Awarded The Dumforter 4.5/5

The dumforter was packaged in a lovely box, it was very aesthetically pleasing. It showed the other designs also available. I think this is a really good idea. The instructions were straight forward.  it was easy for my son to use. He knew exactly how to use it. He liked the design, that it was an animal and that it had a name. He has never really taken to a comforter or dummy before. But this product he actually used. So yes he has formed a bond with it. It seemed to be an effective soother and he liked the feel of it. I did not use as a teether as it was not required. My son liked the comfort  it provided before bedtime. It calmed him while going to sleep. We mainly used this before bed or nap time to soothe baby to sleep. Mainly used at home. This was easy to keep clean as it has a little press stud to remove the comforter. That way can clean in general wash. Doesn’t take up a lot of room. Easy to take anywhere. I really like this but I did think that the zebra design should have been black not grey stripes. I’m not sure I would pay £14.99 for the product maybe a little bit lower would be more reasonable. I liked the animal design. It was fun , and my son liked it. My son liked this and he also liked the feel of it. I would buy this if it was slightly cheaper. As it did make my son use it. I would recommend as it is a good idea. Not full marks as I think colour and prize could be improved.  It’s an innovative idea, the name is creative, the packaging was good. The product overall was lovely a sweet idea that my little boy liked. Stephanie Roper – James 1 Year 5 Months
