Friendly and helpful staff

Went here to have a scan at the place above, ended up having a nosey around the store and bought our pram! Staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble! Even when I couldn’t figure out how to put the pram down even though they just showed me 🙄

Can only recommend

Pram arrived very quickly. Looks great and was the best price we could find out there. Was a bit hesitant at first buying from a store I never heard of, but can only recommend.

We’re delighted to hear your pram arrived quickly and that you were happy with both the quality and the price. We completely understand the hesitation when ordering from a new store, so it means a lot that you gave us a chance. Your recommendation truly means the world to us — we hope you and your little one love the pram!

My husband and I

My husband and I, both first time parents, had a great experience at the birmingham newbie and me store, during their Silver Cross Event, the whole team were so helpful and friendly. Scott helped guide us through all the silver cross collection, explaining and demonstrating the functionality and features and really spent the time allowing us to ask questions. We are so happy with our purchase of the Cove and would definitely recommend the store for the best range of baby travel systems and great customer service.

Awful experience with this store

Awful experience with this store. Staff giving false promises. Spent thousands of pounds and still nothing to show for it 4 weeks later than promised. Causing us both lots of stress at a time when we really don’t need it. Lie after lie every day and not a single apology. Take your money elsewhere.

Hi Daniel,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, especially with such significant delays.

Please contact us with your order details so we can look into this and provide a clear update.

UPDATE:

UPDATE:
Unbelievably this company ONLY JUST contacted me on Tuesday!!! A full 6 weeks after we originally asked for a callback when our order was already late!!

LET THAT SINK IN

They were fully aware my due date was 10/04/26. I actually went overdue and my baby arrived on 13th April. She is now 11 days old and now they decide to call me to say my next to me crib is ready for collection.

At this point it’s not just poor service it’s beyond ridiculous!!The complete lack of urgency, awareness and basic customer care is shocking. They knew exactly when this baby was due, they knew the items were essential and yet they still failed to act or communicate in any meaningful way.
A call 6 weeks late, after the baby is already here, is not customer service ITS A JOKE!
This just further proves everything I’ve said! Avoid this company at all costs

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY. If minus stars were an option, they’d be getting them.

We ordered an 18-piece travel system on 15/10/25 after being clearly pressured into a “today only” deal—which, unsurprisingly, is still running now. A cheap sales tactic to rush people into handing over their money.

We were promised delivery by 25th February, well ahead of my due date (10th April). That date came and went with ZERO communication. Not a message, not a call—nothing. I had to chase them myself, only to be told there was a two-week delay. So unless you chase, they just keep you in the dark.

A week later, I called again—new date given: 9th March. Once again, that date passed with no update. I called on the 10th and was given a “definite” delivery by Friday. Friday comes… and suddenly they “don’t know” where the order is or when it’s arriving.

At this point, I am 36 weeks pregnant. No pram. No car seat. No crib. Thousands of pounds paid. And this company couldn’t care less.

My husband asked for answers and a callback. Of course, no one bothered.

So I went above them and contacted the manufacturer directly. One phone call. That’s all it took. Spoke to them at 3:30pm—items dispatched by 5pm the SAME DAY. Two items still pending, but unlike this company, they actually communicate and follow through.

So let’s be clear: this company took our money in October, did absolutely nothing for months, gave false promises, failed to communicate at every stage, and left a heavily pregnant customer completely stranded. Meanwhile, the manufacturer sorted everything in under two hours.

If I hadn’t stepped in myself, we would STILL be waiting with no answers.

This is beyond poor service—this is incompetence and negligence. They are quick to take your money, quick to pressure you into signing, and completely useless when it comes to actually delivering what you’ve paid for.

And judging by other reviews, this is a recurring issue—not a one-off.

Avoid this company at all costs unless you want stress, lies, and an empty bank account.

Hi Amy,

Thank you for your review.

You were contacted to advise that your next-to-me crib was ready for collection, as the brand had arranged for the remaining items in your order to be sent directly to you. The brand did this to avoid any further delays caused by the stock first needing to arrive in store before being redistributed to yourselves.

Throughout this process, we repeatedly requested updates from the brand representative and relayed the information provided to us as soon as we received it. We completely understand that the delays and uncertainty caused uncertainty, and for that we sincerely apologise.

We would also like to clarify that we do not use pressure sales tactics in store. We pride ourselves on offering competitive packages and supportive customer service, which is reflected in the experience many of our customers have with us.

That said, we fully acknowledge that communication during this situation could and should have been better, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve both our processes and customer experience moving forward.

We wish you and your new baby all the very best.

AVOID – False delivery promises and zero care for the newborn

If you are expecting a baby, please save yourself the stress and go use another company, surely anyone else couldn't be as bad as this one. They like to portray themselves as a family-run and understanding business, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The owner clearly cares nothing for the whole newborn experience; they just care about making money.

We ordered a £1,100 travel system in November. I explicitly told them I had an order ready with another retailer, but their sales team promised us guaranteed delivery before Christmas. Based on that promise, we went with them. This was a lie. Their own staff member later admitted to me on the phone that the original collection date they sold me was "always wrong" and should never have been promised.

Starting a family has been a real challenge for us, and he is our miracle baby. Instead of enjoying the final days of the pregnancy, I spent them incredibly stressed, chasing Newbie & Me. They ignored emails and failed to call back. I had to call them over 20 times in January alone.

Our baby was born at the end of January, and we still had no pram. To cover their incompetence, they gave us a scratched, used "loaner" pram and stand, which was heartbreaking and embarrassing to use for our newborn's first days. Even when the actual order finally started trickling in weeks later, parts like the carrycot stand were still missing. The owner was consulted multiple times about our situation. When I asked if they could just deliver our actual pram and pick up the loaner so I wouldn't have to travel with a newborn, the owner flat-out refused. He insisted I make a 3-hour round trip myself just to fix their mistakes.

Even at the very end, when our only focus should have been our newborn, we realised we hadn't even been given the small accessories that were part of the "Ultimate" bundle we paid for. Shockingly, they hadn't even written "Ultimate" on their copy of the invoice. It was only because my receipt explicitly stated it that I had the proof to show they still owed me these items. I have no doubt they would have argued against giving them to me if I didn't have that paper trail.
When it came to resolving this, I had to chase them with multiple emails and phone calls just to get basic answers. Head Office initially offered a totally insulting £50 compensation. After fighting this, the local manager bumped it to a £100 store voucher. They made it explicitly clear that they do not offer cash compensation, even when they are 100% at fault. Think about that: after completely failing us, their way of making it right is forcing us to spend more money in their store.

The amount of time I spent chasing them to sort out their own mistakes is unacceptable, and their lack of accountability was embarrassing. They may boast good reviews, but please look closely at the negative ones that is where the truth lies. This company shows its true colours when things don't go to plan. They are happy to promise you the world to get your money, but once they have it, their customer service vanishes. Save yourself the stress and avoid them entirely.

Avoid at all cost.!

Avoid at all cost.!! They are amazing at selling you the item of your dreams but the minute theirs an issue they are none existent. Ive been filled with fake promises & lies to the point I exploded as my baby was left with no pram !! I seen red.. I also did a chargeback with my back. Ameer advised me to cancel this charge back and he will refund me. That didnt happen I am now trying to reopen the case to do another charge back. Ive been told lies after lies from meg & ameer for the last week to get a refund for this broken pram. I candy have been helpful they collected the pram straight away. This shop is a huge scam ! Take your money but dont give you the goods. Please avoid!!! THEY ALSO BLOCK UU ON SOCIAL MEDIA 🤣

Firstly, we want to clarify that all of our calls are recorded and have been fully reviewed. At no point has any member of staff at Newbie and Me lied or laughed at the situation, as suggested.

We do, however, want to address your conduct during these calls. Across multiple conversations, two members of our team were subjected to repeated swearing and shouting. Three calls had to be ended due to this, and the abusive behaviour escalated further during a fourth call. This level of communication is not acceptable. As a result, Newbie and Me have advised we will now only communicate with you via email going forward. This decision was not taken lightly, and we are disappointed that it has been necessary, as it is not something we have ever previously had to implement with a customer. Our in store team have also received an excessive amount of emails from yourself all of the same conduct during this time.

You first raised a warranty fault with us on Saturday 11th April . At that time, we advised you that iCandy were closed until Monday 13th April and that your claim would be progressed once they reopened. When you contacted us on the Monday to say the claim had not been raised, we provided you with the official claim reference number to confirm that it had.

You requested an exchange, which we agreed could be arranged once the fault had been confirmed as a manufacturing issue, in line with standard warranty procedures. However, you then chose to arrange a return directly with iCandy. This led to delays, as we did not receive confirmation from them on how the matter would be resolved. As the item was purchased through us, iCandy are unable to issue refunds directly which left us unsure if the product was being repaired or replaced.

Shortly after, you informed us by email that you had raised a chargeback with your bank, despite previously stating that you would not do so. You later advised that you had cancelled this chargeback and wished to proceed with an exchange. To which you later advised you had re-opened the charge back. We have contacted our card merchant to verify the status of the charge back; however, at present, they have not received confirmation of any cancellation from your bank therefore this remains an open claim in which Newbie and Me are therefore unable to process a refund or exchange.

Throughout this process, we have remained willing to resolve the issue in line with the correct procedures, pending clarification of the chargeback status. As discussed, we will process your refund via our card merchant as soon as we are able to do so, as we would like to bring this matter to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

We kindly ask that all further communication remains respectful so we can continue to support you effectively.

Excellent customer service

As first time parents, we didn't know where to start when buying a pram, but we received excellent support and advice from Lauren at the Birmingham store. Recommendations were tailored to our needs and budget, and every question we asked was answered. Made the whole process so much easier, can't recommend enough!

I often watch Newbie and Me videos on YouTube, they are very informative and offer great reviews on prams and helped me decide which travel stroller to go for. They very kindly offered to price match the one I decided on which was on offer with a competitor. A girl called from the Leeds store, put my order through over the phone, asked when I needed it by, I just said this week, and sure enough it arrived this week. I also received a email confirmation of my order form so I knew everything was correct and as agreed over the phone. Very happy, great service, great price. Thank you 🙏

Avoid if you want your items by the time stated

Ordered a puschair, said next day delivery when checking out, but then checked and that only applies to orders placed by 1pm, no worries I assumed it would then be dispatched the following working day for deliver the next day. How wrong I was. I only ordered from them as they offered next day delivery, wish I checked their reviews first as it seems this is a common issue they have. Why offer next day delivery if you are not going to fulfil this

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding our next day delivery service.

Our delivery terms do include a 1pm cut-off for next day dispatch, and while we aim to meet these timeframes, delays can occasionally occur. We appreciate that this can be frustrating, especially when delivery speed is an important factor when ordering.

We’re currently reviewing how we present our delivery information to ensure expectations are as clear as possible.

If you need any further assistance with your order, please contact our customer service team with your details and we’ll be happy to help.
