Perfect fit for baby.

If you have an active toddler, you know that an ill-fitting diaper can chafe or cause rashes. Kao’s Merries Walker Pants aim to put an end to that. Its awardwinning design provides a comfortable fit that allows your child to move freely, and the unique super-absorbent core helps keep your young one’s bottom dry. No wonder it’s the No. 1 diaper in Japan! Prices start from $16.95 for sizes M to XL. Visit www.kao.com/sg/merries, or find them at all major retailers.

For little feet.

Your kids are on their feet all the time, so they deserve shoes that are made with their needs in mind. Look to Austrian brand Richter, which has a 68-year legacy. Its models have strengthened toe caps to protect little feet from injury, as well as anti-slip soles and cushioned heel insoles. The model pictured here costs $149. Try them on at The ShoeCo, #02- 36/37 Tanglin Mall. Visit www.theshoeco.com.sg.

Affordable treats.

Salon-quality beauty treatments that you can do at home don’t have to be costly. Korean brand Kocostar, which is new to Sephora here, offers 12 masks for your face, hair, nails and hands, as well as your feet – the Slice Mask Sheets (pictured) look like fruit slices are particularly fun to use. Prices range from $6 to $15. Visit www.sephora.sg.
