Pearhead First 5 Years Chevron Baby Memory Book with Included Clean-Touch Baby Safe Ink Pad to Create Baby's Handprint or Footprint, Keepsake Milestone Journal, UK English Version, Blue

POSITIVES:- GREY COLOUR THROUGHOUT. A few reviews have pointed out the lack of colour, but I like this neutral look - it means that I can write with different coloured pens and add colourful photos and embellishments - I like that this personalised content will stand out more than the generic borders and images. The pages have patterned borders and there are occasional illustrations. I bought this when I was pregnant and didn't know whether my baby was a boy or a girl, so I like that this is gender neutral.- DETAILED. IT is detailed, as other reviews have pointed out, but I like this and have enjoyed filling it in so far.- INCLUDED PRINT KIT. The mess-free ink print kit it comes with - easy to use - we did this when our baby was a couple of weeks old and it was quick and easy and mess free - baby didn't even know we'd done it! You get 3 little cards that are the perfect size for the window in the front of the book- COVER - nice and thick and padded and I like the windows for the footprint and photo to personalise the cover of the book- BOX - comes with a box and protective plastic sleeve which we've kept the book in to keep it clean and in good condition- LARGE SIZE of the book and good qualityNEGATIVES:- American phrasing on the 'world I came into' page (it mentions the price of 'a gallon of gas')- Could do with some more cards for the ink prints - we used one for the cover, and two for the first prints page (1 for hand and one for foot) so could do with some spares in case of smudging and mistakes- Cost - expensive compared to other baby record books- Like another reviewer pointed out, it would make more sense to have the 1st Christmas page before the 1st-5th birthday and school pagesPages it includes (in order of appearance):- Introduction page - space for baby's full name, date of birth and birth weight- About Mummy, with page for photos- About Daddy, with page for photos- The story of Mummy and Daddy, with page for photos- Family tree double page- Mummy's Pregnant (a page about finding out about the pregnancy) with page for photos/scan images (I made a collage of my 5 scan images on this page and has space in between to label them with notes)- When Mummy was Pregnant (a double page about during pregnancy with a space for a photo or scan image)- Here I Come - a double page about the birth with a space for a photo- My first prints - a single page space for a hand and foot print- My Birth announcement - single page- All my visitors- I Got These Presents- Home Sweet Home - a double page about first coming home with one page being for photos- The world I came into - a page about prices of things and things that were popular in the year that baby was born- Firsts - a double page- Favourite things - a double page with one page being for photos- Growth table single page- Sleep single page with space for a photo- eating/food page- bath page, with space for a photo of first bath- birthday pages - the 1st birthday is a double page, with one page being for photos, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th birthday pages are single pages- Me and My Friends page with space for photo- Activity time page with space for photo- School days double page with space for photo- double page for 'art I made at school' - blank other than the heading so that you can stick things in- My First Christmas double page - with one page for photos- other special memories double page - blank other than the heading- me and my family double page - blank other than the heading for photos

It has a lot of pages, some of them people may say it's useless but I think they were very creative and the baby once grown may find it interesting and cool to know how things changed in 18 or more years.One example of this are the pages asking what were the national leaders and popular songs of when the baby was born and even the price of a pack of nappies and a cup of coffee. It's just a matter of seconds to write this, and it will always stay there as a memory. You can note the baby growth, the first favourite things, the relationship of parents and lots of photos - Totally worth it. Definitely will buy another one for my next one.- I mean, it is a bit colourless but you can pick and buy your own stickers and put it wherever you want, instead of complaining about this or that picture of some page - it was actually smart.

Love it, especially the foot and handprint ink pads, no mess, just hard to get LO to stay put :DPages to give info about mommy, daddy, mommy and daddy, family tree, baby arrival and many more... also 1 Page each for 1st to 5th birthday.

Nice book to make memories

Lovely present for parents to be

Bought one a few years back so was really happy to find they were still available. Lovely memory book, detailed pages and lots of room for photos. Some sections instructed and other pages blank for your choice. It will be something really nice for them to look back on.

We got the same book 6 years ago for my son so I was happy to see you can still get it. Probably the best baby book I’ve seen as it’s goes up to 5 years so absolutely perfect for adding in all the special miles stones it’s also nice you can add things about yourself and history into it, I’m sure when I’m long gone my kids will love to look back at the things I’ve written in there I’ve also added extra pages to my sons for things like first holiday and swimming ect

Such a beautiful baby record book! I spent ages researching baby record books before purchasing this one and sent two previous ones back as I wasn’t happy with them. This book is perfect! Just the right amount of prompted writing space and photo space. There are lots of pages for baby’s first year and then a double page for each year 1-5 as well as pages for milestones like baby’s first Christmas etc. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The pages are grey and white and illustrated beautifully. It comes in a box with a plastic cover so that you can keep it protected for years to come. I’d definitely recommend getting this baby record book over any other.
