Not Sure Which To Choose?

If you’re unsure between PUL and Oxford, the best all-round option is PUL.

PUL offers superior protection against liquid spills and food messes, making it exceptionally versatile for both feeding times and everyday use. Its waterproof, easy-clean surface means less stress for you and more comfort for your child.

While Oxford is excellent for art and creative play, PUL covers a broader range of activities, from baby-led weaning and meal times to creative moments that involve wetter materials.

For families who want one reliable choice that performs beautifully across most situations, PUL is the preferred option.
