Introducing the Nuna NEXT System
One Base, Four Ways to Ride: Grow with Your Baby The Nuna NEXT System is a clever, modular solution designed to grow with your baby from birth to approximately four years old. Built around the innovative NEXT Base, it offers compatibility with four different seats – the CARI Next, PIPA Next, ARRA Next, and TODL Next – giving you flexibility and confidence for every stage of your little one’s early years. Nuna NEXT Base The heart of the system, the NEXT Base offers safe, secure installation with thoughtful features to simplify life on the go. It allows for 360-degree seat rotation, making it easier to get your child in and out. With 10 adjustable ISOFIX positions, it fits a wide range of vehicles, and colour-coded indicators ensure everything is correctly installed. Built-in side impact protection, a load leg, and shock-absorbing materials provide added peace of mind. Nuna CARI Next The CARI Next combines the safety of a car seat with the comfort of a lie-flat carrycot – ideal for healthy spinal development in those early months. It's suitable from birth up to 70cm or 9kg and features a three-point harness, organic jersey mattress, and infant inserts for a snug fit. Compatible with all Nuna strollers, it makes transitions between pram and car effortless. Nuna PIPA Next Lightweight at just 2.8kg, the PIPA Next is perfect for travel, whether you’re hopping in and out of cars or navigating airports. It can be installed with either the NEXT Base or a seatbelt – a great option for taxi travel. It includes an adjustable headrest, dream drape, and automatically deploying side impact protection wings. Suitable rear-facing from 40 to 83cm or up to 13kg. Nuna ARRA Flex The Arra Flex is a lightweight capsule (only 3.9 kg) designed for healthy spinal development with three recline positions, including a relaxed 157° fully flat angle. It installs using either the vehicle seat belt or the NEXT Base. The Merino wool and TENCEL™ insert, high‑strength handle, and no‑rethread harness make it a premium, ergonomic choice for newborns up to 13 kg or around 24 months (40–87 cm). Nuna TODL Next Designed to take over once your baby has outgrown their capsule, the TODL Next is suitable from birth to around four years. It offers five recline positions, six adjustable headrest settings, and an extendable harness. Use it rear-facing from 40 to 105cm (up to 19kg), and forward-facing from 76 to 105cm (also up to 19kg).

Why Carrycots Are One of Our Best Sellers
Carrycots – Essential or Nice to Have? How a Carrycot can make a new parent’s life easier When preparing for your baby’s arrival, the list of must-have essentials can seem endless—carrycots, capsules, bassinets, and buggies, all competing for your attention. Among these, carrycots often sit in a grey area, leaving parents wondering if they’re truly necessary. However, there are several reasons why carrycots are one of Dimples’ best-sellers, and we’re here to explain why they could make your life a whole lot easier. What is a Carrycot? A carrycot is a lightweight, portable bed designed for babies up to around three to six months old (or about 10kg). Unlike a traditional bassinet or Moses basket, a carrycot attaches to your stroller, making it perfect for sleeping while you’re out and about. Its flat, firm mattress ensures your little one can lie down comfortably, and the design keeps them safe, supported, and relaxed while they nap. As your baby grows, they’ll eventually outgrow the carrycot, but for the first few months, it provides a cosy, familiar space that’s easy to move with you. Why Do You Need One? You’ve likely already invested in a capsule for car trips and a bassinet for naps at home, so you might be wondering where a carrycot fits into the mix. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits it offers: Carrycots vs. Capsules for Sleeping Capsules are often designed to easily attach to your stroller for convenience, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without waking them up. However, experts caution against leaving your baby in a capsule for extended periods. Babies need to lie flat to keep their airways open, and when they're in a capsule, their heads can flop forward, which could compromise their breathing. A carrycot, however, provides a flat surface for your baby, ensuring proper alignment and safe sleep. While it can be tempting to leave your baby in the capsule for longer outings, a carrycot offers a far safer sleep solution for extended naps or trips to the park. Moving them from capsule to carrycot after a quick car trip helps keep their sleep environment safe and comfortable. Take a Walk While They Snooze One of the perks of a carrycot is the ability to get outside and enjoy some fresh air while your baby naps peacefully. After feeding or playtime, simply attach the carrycot to your stroller, and off you go! The gentle movement of the stroller, combined with the outdoor sounds, is often just the right combination to lull your little one into a restful sleep. Carrycots are designed to be outdoors-friendly, with weatherproof fabrics, adjustable canopies, and compatible rain and sun covers, so your baby stays protected no matter the weather. Even better, when your baby is deep in sleep, you can easily unclip the carrycot from the stroller and bring them inside to continue their nap. That means you get to enjoy a quiet moment to yourself while your baby stays snug and safe. Carrycots vs. Portacots for Overnight Stays When it comes to overnight visits, whether to Grandma’s house or a weekend getaway - a full-sized portacot can be a hassle to pack and set up. A carrycot, on the other hand, is compact and easy to transport, making it the ideal sleep solution for short stays. With a firm mattress and familiar surroundings, your baby is more likely to settle quickly in a carrycot, even in a new environment. Carrying a bulky portacot for a quick trip or family visit can feel like overpacking, especially when you have a simple, lightweight carrycot that does the job just as well. The convenience of clipping it onto your stroller for a walk, and then using it as a portable bed for overnight stays, gives you the best of both worlds. Say Goodbye to the Bassinet A bassinet or Moses basket can take up a fair amount of space in your home, and while they're lovely for the first few months, they’re not always necessary if you have a carrycot. Many parents find that a carrycot serves as both a primary sleep spot at home and a portable solution for outings. Since a carrycot is designed for safe sleep, you can use it as your baby’s designated napping spot - whether at home, in the park, or at a friend’s house. Plus, since it’s only useful for a limited time, you get the most out of it by making it your go-to sleeping solution in those early months. Carrycots vs. Lie-Flat Strollers Many strollers are suitable for newborns, but most require the baby to be strapped in. If your baby is swaddled or sleeping peacefully, it can be a hassle to unstrap them and disrupt their comfort. With a carrycot, you can avoid all those buckles and straps. Simply place your baby in the carrycot, and you’re good to go - no need to worry about disturbing them or removing their swaddle. This makes the carrycot a much easier and more comfortable option for those first few months. What to Look for in a Carrycot Choosing the right carrycot is about more than just size - it’s about convenience, comfort, and safety. Here are some key features to look for: Certified for overnight sleep: If you plan to use the carrycot for naps and nighttime sleep, ensure it’s certified for overnight use. Weatherproof accessories: Look for a carrycot with a generous canopy, plus optional rain and sun covers, especially if you’ll be using it outdoors. Easy to carry: While the carrycot will often be attached to your stroller, you’ll also need to carry it at times. Make sure it has sturdy, comfortable handles that make it easy to transport. Easy care: Babies can be messy, so choose a carrycot with machine-washable components like the mattress cover or liner. Easy to connect: You don’t want to struggle with complicated clips when your baby is having a fussy moment. A carrycot that’s easy to attach and detach from the stroller will save you time and frustration. Compatibility: Ensure the carrycot fits securely on your stroller. The combination of a carrycot and stroller is crucial, as you’ll use it for many months to come. Final Thoughts While not essential for everyone, many parents find it a really useful addition in those early months – giving their baby a safe, flat sleeping space that’s easy to move from stroller to indoors without disturbing precious naps. Whether you’re out for a walk, visiting family, or just needing somewhere for baby to rest during the day, a carrycot can help simplify life a little. If you’re unsure whether a carrycot is the right fit for your family, feel free to get in touch or pop into store – we’re always happy to help you figure out what’s best for you and your baby. We have some amazing bundles to choose from, as well as a range of choices to suit you. Check out Dimples’ range of carrycots here.

Bottle-feeding: choosing the right bottles and teats
Choosing the Right Bottle & Teat for Your Baby A Practical Guide to Finding the Right Bottle Feeding Setup We’ve been helping families for many years now, and a question we are always asked by new parents is “Which is the best baby bottle?” - and while we wish there was a one size fits all answer to this question, the reality is that there isn't one perfect bottle for every baby. The best baby bottle is the one that suits your bub's feeding style, comfort, and stage of development, while also fitting your family's routine and preferences. Finding the right bottles and teats can sometimes feel overwhelming. With so many options available, from anti colic bottles and wide neck designs to glass, silicone, and plastic bottles… it's natural to wonder which choice is best for your baby. In this guide, we'll help you understand the different bottle and teat options so you can find a feeding setup that feels right for your baby and your family. How to Choose the Best Baby Bottle When comparing baby bottles, start by thinking about your baby's feeding needs rather than focusing on brands or features. Newborn? Look for slow flow teats and easy to clean bottles – you’ll likely be using up to 12 bottles a day in those very early stages! Breastfed or mixed feeding? Wide neck bottles and breast shaped teats can help support a natural latch. Experiencing wind or reflux? Anti-colic bottles will help reduce swallowed air. Need something practical for everyday use? Lightweight plastic bottles are often a great choice. Looking for a long term option? Glass bottles are durable and long lasting. Choosing the Right Bottle MaterialDifferent bottle materials offer different benefits, but there isn't a single right choice. Bottle Type Best For Things to Know Plastic Everyday use Lightweight and practical Glass Durability Easy to clean but heavier Silicone Mixed feeding Soft and flexible 💛 Dimples Tip: Something we often tell parents is not to overthink the bottle material too much. Most babies will adapt well to different bottle types, so it's often more about what works best for your family and feeding routine. Bottle Shapes at a Glance Standard Bottles - A simple, reliable option that works well for most babies. Wide-Neck Bottles - Easier to fill and clean, and often preferred by families combining breast and bottle feeding. Anti-Colic Bottles - Designed to reduce the amount of air swallowed during feeding. 💛 Something we get asked a lot at Dimples: "Are anti colic bottles really worth it?" For babies who experience wind, gas, or reflux, or even for as a preventative method – yes! We know many parents who have found they make feeding more comfortable and reduce post feed fussiness. Explore our bottle range here Explore our Infant and Toddler Formula range here Best Bottles for Breastfed Babies & Mixed Feeding Another common question we hear at Dimples is: "What's the best bottle for a breastfed baby?" While every baby is different, wide-neck bottles with soft silicone teats are often a great place to start. When introducing a bottle to a breastfed baby, look for: Wide teats that encourage a natural latch Slow flow teats that mimic breastfeeding Soft silicone teats with a familiar feel Bottles designed to support mixed feeding Many parents also find paced bottle feeding helpful, as it encourages babies to feed at a rhythm that's closer to breastfeeding. You can learn more about paced bottle feeding here. Shop bottles suitable for mixed feeding Choosing the right teat flow can make feeding feel calmer and more comfortable for your baby. For newborns and younger babies, a slow flow teat is usually the best place to start. This helps milk flow gently and steadily, giving your baby time to feed at their own pace. As your baby grows and becomes more confident with bottle feeding, they may be ready for a medium or faster flow teat. Age guides can be helpful, but your baby's feeding cues are often the best sign. The flow may be too fast if your baby is coughing, spluttering, gulping milk, leaking milk from their mouth, or becoming unsettled during feeds. The flow may be too slow if your baby seems frustrated, takes a very long time to finish a bottle, or often falls asleep before finishing their feed. 💛 Another common questions we are asked: "When should I move up a teat size?" The answer is usually based on your baby's feeding cues rather than just their age alone. Shop our teat range here Cleaning, Sterilising & Bottle Care Keeping bottles and teats clean is a very important part of bottle feeding. Wash bottles and teats thoroughly, replace worn teats when needed, and sterilise bottles up until your baby is approximately 12 months old. A few simple essentials can make life easier: Bottle sterilisers Bottle warmers Bottle brushes Drying racks Feeding bibs Shop bottle cleaning and sterilising essentials here Frequently Asked Questions about Bottle Feeding What bottles are best for newborns? Most newborns do well with bottles fitted with slow flow teats. Anti-colic designs can also be helpful for babies prone to wind or reflux. What bottle is best for a breastfed baby? Wide-neck bottles with soft silicone teats are often a great option for supporting mixed feeding and encouraging a natural latch. Are anti-colic bottles worth it? For babies who swallow excess air while feeding, anti-colic bottles may help reduce wind, gas, and feeding discomfort. How do I know if teat flow is too fast? Look for coughing, spluttering, milk leaking from the mouth, or your baby struggling to keep up with the flow. Glass vs plastic baby bottles: which is better? Both are excellent options. Plastic bottles are lightweight and practical, while glass bottles are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to staining. Finding the Right Feeding Fit for Your Family Every baby is different, and finding the best baby bottle often involves a little trial and error. Trust your baby's cues, be kind to yourself, and remember that there's no single "right" choice. What matters most is finding a feeding setup that feels comfortable for both you and your baby. 💛 A final note from our team: We've helped hundreds of New Zealand families navigate bottle feeding over the years, and if there's one thing we've learned, it's that every feeding journey looks a little different. You're doing a great job. Shop our full range of baby bottles, teats and feeding essentials

Rotating car seats – should you choose one?
Getting a wriggly toddler into a car seat shouldn’t feel like a workout. That’s why rotating car seats are quickly becoming a go-to for modern parents. In this blog, we explore how they work and why so many families are making the switch. From extended rear and front facing options to reducing back strain, we’ll help you decide whether a rotating car seat is the right choice for your growing family. Benefits of a Rotating Car Seat Easier access in and out of the car - The swivel function turns the seat towards the door, making it easier to get your child in and out of the car without awkward angles. With the seat facing you, it is easier to correctly position and tighten the harness, helping ensure your child is safely secured every time. Reduced strain on your back - Rotating the seat towards you helps minimise bending, twisting, and reaching, which can help prevent back and shoulder strain, especially with growing toddlers. This also helps parents (or grandparents) recovering from birth, injury, or surgery, or those with limited mobility, who often find rotating seats easier and more comfortable to use. Rear and front facing options - While your child is young, rear facing car seats are recommended for their safety. Though you want to keep them rear facing as long as possible (according to weight and height restrictions), you will eventually need to switch to forward facing, which is made incredibly easy with the swivel feature. You also have multiple angle options to recline the seat and can change all of these settings without having to re-install the entire seat. Things to Consider Before Buying Weight limits - Most (though not all) rotating car seats have a weight limit of 18kgs because of the isofix installation. On average, that’s around four years old, and while many parents are happy to switch to a booster seat after that, others just want one seat that goes all the way. If you’d prefer to buy a single seat with more longevity, a non-rotating option may suit you better. The Nuna Rava Next goes up to 29.4kgs (seven or eight years on average), and the Exec Next has a booster seat conversion, meaning that it lasts right from newborn up to 49.9kgs, around 12 years old! Space in your car - If you have multiple kids and multiple car seats in the car, having one that rotates might be a bit tricky. Rotating seats generally have a larger base, and the swivel motion itself can be blocked if there are other seats in the way. If you plan on having three seats side by side in the back row, swivelling is a no-go. If you have two seats, then a rotating seat might be a good option depending on how it fits into your car. If you’re not sure, give us a call at our Newmarket or Christchurch stores, and book in a time to try out some options and see what works best. What Are the Rotating Car Seat Options? Nuna NEXT System Built to work together seamlessly, the Nuna NEXT System offers flexibility, longevity, and peace of mind in one refined package. With two different base options (Base Next & Base Curv), two capsules (Pipa Next & Arra Flex), a unique lie-flat car seat (Cari Next), and a toddler seat for good measure (Todl Next), the NEXT System gives you a range of options for travelling in style. The bases come equipped with True Lock™ technology and coloured installation guides for your peace of mind, and one base can be used for all compatible products (keeping you covered for the first four years of baby’s life). Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro Capsule & Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 As part of the 360 Pro Family range, the Pebble and Pearl (when on the Family Fix 360 Pro Base) not only rotate 360°, but also slide towards you to eliminate the awkward reaching that usually comes with buckling in a little one. While the Pearl must be attached to the base in order to go in the car, the Pebble can also be seatbelt installed by itself. Nuna Pruu If you love the Todl but don’t want to bother with the separate base, the Pruu might be the seat for you. With the same detachable Side Impact Protection, integrated rebound bar, and smart-swivel lock, your little one will be travelling in stylish safety from start to finish. The big difference? The Pruu is one piece, with no separate base, making it a bit heavier to carry around, but super convenient for those who’d rather not bother with the extra pieces. We also have the new Nuna Pruu Aire with a retractable sun canopy. Nuna Rylo A new and popular choice is the Nuna Rylo. This seat has it all: 360° rotation, seat belt installation capability, and premium materials. Certified to the AS/NZS standard, it’s perfect for Trans-Tasman travellers, or anyone who’s after the latest version of Nuna’s award winning technology. Not sure which seat is right for you? Visit us in Auckland or Christchurch to see them in person. You can also book in a fitting with our team - we’ll help you find the safest, easiest option for your car and your family.
