The store opens in partnership with Al Tayer Group, and provides everything expectant parents need to prepare for the arrival of their baby.

The Mamas & Papas store at Marina Mall is spread over 6200 Sq ft. and its interior design closely emulates that of the recently opened, award-winning Regent Street store in London. The store offers a comprehensive range of affordable luxury nursery products for which Mamas & Papas are renowned. In fact, the wide selection is amply reflected in the current Autumn Winter 06/07 collection.

The various sections of the store include award-winning Travel and Transportation Systems, stylish maternity Fashion and Babywear plus high quality Furniture and Interiors including highchairs and complete Room-sets, as well as Toys and Gifts. The store has a warm ambience that helps parents to visualize their ideal nursery and features two private rooms where customers can enjoy services including free personal consultation, shopping advice and a gift registry.

Mamas & Papas also provides customers with a 'Delivery and Assembly' service for room-sets and retails a collection of the ultimate designer pushchairs such as the Pliko Pramette, which was awarded the Gold Award for Best Pushchair for the second year running by Mother & Baby magazine and the multi-award winning Primo Viaggio SIP Infant Carrier.

"When we first came to the nursery industry and we were looking for products for our first
child, we were surprised at the very few concessions to style and fashion. We believe that
these elements, along with comfort and safety should be inherent in every Mamas & Papas
product.

We always strive to understand and anticipate the needs of pregnant women and their
partners, their babies and young children to facilitate the design and development of a
range of innovative and stylish nursery related products.

By anticipating the ever changing needs of the pregnant mother and their families whilst
remaining true to our core values, we are proud to be the UK's number one nursery brand.
Welcome to our world"
