thanks Pickle Yes admittedly the last time we flew to NZ with him was in business (he was just 5 months old) so was not a problem but now the thought of trying to keep him confined within a small space makes me very nervous for that length of time! I think I will go for buying him a seat too & pray for an empty flight! Thank you

sorry to hi-jack thread I will be flying out to NZ in a couple of months on my own on the way out with my son & I'm trying to decide whether to buy my son a seat (will be 21 months when we fly)/ move to a higher class seat etc to make the flight more manageable. Can I ask, Pickle, in your experience (with all those flights under your belt with kids!) what would you say would be the best seat configuration for us? Thank you

I managed to track it down at the pharmacy bit in Morrisons in Peckham - they had both the gel & the liquid

Sorry yes they did offer a refund for the box whole box of the nappies this packet came out of. Well they are going to send vouchers - which I thought I could pass onto my childminder for wipes. They also want me to send a nappy for each packet in the box but wouldn't disclose if they would test it for anything...

Our nappies were bought at Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill too Just spoke with Pampers. Complete waste of time. They couldn't comment on any other issues others may have had with the Baby Dry nappies but did say they were suprised I had experienced a problem with this range as it would seem the Active Fit range is what most people are having difficulties with (she did say problems as in leaking not rashes)! I was also advised their medical team couldn't speak to me until I had filled out a questionnaire and returned it to them. They did suggest trying their Simply Dry range (orange packet ones) as they don't have all the extra benfits that the other ranges provide?! - oh like the added chemicals that burn our babies skin!

I've come across quite a few articles now certainly in the US about this. I also came across this lady who had exactly the same issue back in May and the pictures show exactly the same as what my son has too - apart from in a different area http://www.suburbanmummyuk.com/?p=1541 It would seem they (Pampers) have been aware of this issue for some time now. I am sooo cross!

Pampers did try call me today but I unfortunately missed the call as I was at work. I will update once I've managed to speak to them. The "rash" hasn't really changed either way but nappy changing isn't as dramatic as yesterday so perhaps it is healing

Thanks for everyone's replies. The doctor agreed & thought it too looked like it was some sort of chemical burn - he has prescribed a mild steroid cream for the next three days & advises to return if it hasn't cleared. I've left a message with someone at Pampers - will be interesting to see what they advise as the more I search on the Internet about it the more common it seems to be with that particular nappy type. We've switched allegiance to Huggies for now and will see how we get on....

I've been using Pampers for my son for 15 months now and have never had any problems. But after using a nappy from a new Pampers Baby Dry 4+ pack within hours he had a horrible, blistery, weeping rash . "Rash" is not even the right word, it looks more like a burn all over his bottom and at the top of one of his legs. He is in severe pain, screaming every time we have to change his nappy. We've a doctors appointment this evening but I just wondered if anyone else has experienced something similar ?

They have brought out a new model of the Bee (plus) earlier this year I think to iron out a few of the issues people had with the original Bee i.e. the Bee plus has a wider frame etc. Here's a comparison of the two I used when deciding with what model to go with - hope it helps!

We've just purchased a bee plus as we found our Bugaboo Cameleon too bulky for in and out of the car a million times a day and fitting in boot space wise with everything else. My little man has just gone 1 and is 98% in height and his feet don't yet reach the footrest - so yes, I think there's room for growth and will last a decent amount of time !
