It was a flash of inspiration that started Mamas & Papas.

David & Luisa were expecting their first daughter and what an exciting time it was. A whole new world to learn about, to explore. Their roots were in Italy. A country filled with passion, style, elegance and design. So they looked for ideas, inspiration. Beautiful things to surround their beautiful new child. And when they couldn’t find what they were looking for, they created it.

Taking inspiration, from everyone and everything, they created a whole new world for a baby. A world of colour, shape, design, individuality, simplicity and creativity. A world where quality was essential, no expense was spared, no detail missed.

Mamas & Papas may have grown over the last 25 years, but this inspiration is still inherent in every product, every material, every design. And because their children, Olivia and Amanda, have grown, inspired by the world they were surrounded by, they have now joined them to continue the passion that makes Mamas & Papas so great.

• Where safety belts have been fitted they must be worn
• Children under 3 years of age must not travel in a car or goods vehicle (other than a taxi) unless restrained in the correct child seat
• Children aged 3 years or over who are under 150cms in height and weighing less than 36 kilograms (i.e. generally children up to 11/12 years old) must use the correct child seat, booster seat or booster cushion when travelling in cars or goods vehicles
• Children over 3 years of age must travel in a rear seat in vehicles not fitted with safety belts
• Rearward-facing child car seats must NEVER be used in the front passenger seat of cars with an active airbag
• Child car seats must be in accordance with EU or United Nations- Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) standards
• Drivers have a legal responsibility to ensure passengers aged under 17 use the correct seat, booster seat, booster cushion or seatbelt
