My acquittance with Mothercare, of course, started when we shopped for kid-no-1 aka daughter 6 years ago.
At that time, my impression was it's beautiful, but expensive, not within our means.
Until, kid-no-2 aka son arrived early. We were not prepared. And being early, he was small, existing hand-me-down clothes couldn't fit him.
Somehow, I decided to rely on Mothercare for below reasons. Off my hubby went to Mothercare - Plaza Singapura.

1. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
2. Sizes range is good. Covering from small to big babies/kids. Sizes are also explained in length and weight so that we can gauge easily.
3. Material is surely reliable. When my daughter needs 100% cotton socks, Mothercare is my choice. Same goes for underwear. During purchase, sometime I do feel a little silly. Expensive underwear (no discount is applicable) for them that they will certainly outgrow in a year and no one will enjoy the nice design. But indeed they are the best. The fit is good and very comfortable.
4. Craftsmanship and safe design are outstanding. Up until now, I haven't found scratchy or pokey kind of zipper or button. And amazingly, buttons will stay intact for a long long time... as far as I remember, I haven't fix buttons from Mothercare before.
5. There are... good bargain! My best so far being a three piece set for boy (jeans, t-shirt, and vest) at SGD 30 (70% discount). So with the new wisdom, I've increase visit frequency :)

1. Store layout need improvement. So far, Paragon outlet is the best. Neatly organized.
2. Stocks between outlet my vary, and sometimes sizes are not available. Got to be patient.
3. Happened once to us. We bought a set of undies (7pcs). One pc was in different size. One has to be careful.
