  • About Bosieboo


    Founded in 2006, bosieboo has a unique development process. The company creates nursery equipment based upon feedback from an online parent panel. The product ideas are brought to life by combining award winning Scandinavian design with best in class Global sourcing managed out of their office in China then sold through the company’s own e-stores. Several of the bosieboo products have already won prestigious industry and press awards.

    Introducing some of our Bosieboo range.....


    Baby Monitors; Winner of Mother and Baby and Top Gear FQ, and Pregnancy and baby editors choice. The Bosieboo 5.6" 5-star rated video monitor was the 1st large screen of its kind in the country. The Scandinavian design ensures the perfect mix of style and practical technology. The monitor is also equipped with automatic infra-red night vision, stand by function which will automatically switch back to normal vision when your child stirs and sound is detected. As well as all this the bosieboo baby cam has 4 channels and can be connected to your television/video so you can watch and/or record your child from a larger screen. Bosieboo also stock a 2.5" video monitor and audio monitor.

    Baby Thermometers; We have a remote temperature thermometer which allows you to monitor your child's temperature without disturbing them. The small and non obtrusive transmitter fits easily on to your child's nappy or waistband and gives a reading to the parental receiver which will update every minute. There is also a Fever Alarm mode that will alert you when your child's temperature goes above the pre-set 'safe' temperature allowing you to have the freedom and peace of mind not to be constantly checking the receiver. We also stock a state of the art bath thermometer and forehead thermometer.

    Out of distance Monitor; Winner of Father's Quarterly Top Gear Award 2007.Inspired by all those panicked parental moments when you turn around and your little one has decided to play hide and seek, the Out of Distance monitor from Bosieboo is simple yet ingenious.
    The monitor will alarm if your child goes outside your designated preset distance. This gives them the freedom and independence to explore without the constraints of traditional manual devices like reins. It also allows mum and dad to have the confidence to let them do so knowing they will always be alerted if they stray a little too far. The furthest setting range for this item is 50m from 5m.

    Urchin and Bosieboo join forces


    Children’s retailer Urchin has joined forces with bosieboo to create a unique home shopping business that will replicate established UK delivery channels in mainland Europe while expanding its own-brand product offering by combining award-winning Scandinavian design with best-in-class global sourcing via the company’s Asian office.

    Urchin was founded in 1998 by current MD, Murray Kenneth. The business won an ECMOD award in 2004 for the Best Consumer Catalogue in the £1.5 to £5m turnover bracket. Based in Marlborough, Wiltshire, Urchin employs 20 staff between its office and distribution centre. The new combined business will continue to be based in Marlborough.

    “The distribution of children’s products is rapidly shifting from traditional bricks and mortar stores to modern multi-channel retailing, and we intend become a significant player in the European market”, says Elaine Barnes, CEO bosieboo. “We are delighted to have finalised the deal with Urchin. The combined strength of catalogue and e-store is a perfect retailing solution for today’s busy parents”.

    “The Urchin team has always been focussed on great product – and we’re relishing the chance to develop some of our own products while continuing to offer parents an innovative selection of the best products available on the market” says Urchin MD Murray Kenneth. “The opportunity to apply the experience we have gained to a wider European market is also a great opportunity”.
