Manduca Baby Carriers Restocked

Tiny Tapir brought the Manduca Soft Structured Baby Carrier to Malaysia earlier this year and it’s already proving a big hit with Malaysian parents.  Babywearing has never been so flexible or stylish!

It works from newborns & is extendable up to 3 year olds – pretty much the most versatile baby carrier we have seen so far.

Pretty adjustable for parents as well with back AND front adjustable shoulder straps (more unusual with most commercially made SSCs you only have 1 adjustment point which is the back strap).

Made in limited edition patterns, and ALL the carriers use 100% organic materials & top of the line buckles. If you’re looking for a baby carrier here in Malaysia, you should definitely come and try this one out.

Tiny Tapir has just re-stocked, come visit us in store 🙂

Ampang Park store permanently closed

Dear Tiny Tapirites,

When we opened our Ampang Park store branch back in April 2009, it was with trepidation (and of course some excitement) as it was our first ever “proper” retail branch (I know some of our beloved long time customers remember the “good ol’ days” back at the Jalan Damai bungalow!).

It’s been 4 years in our cozy little shop, but now, sadly, our Ampang Park branch has been closed, and that chapter of Tiny Tapir has ended.

Thank you for those regulars who used to pop in and visit us way up on the 3rd floor of that homely old shopping center, it was a pleasure for us to serve you there.

(We continue our operations at our Bangsar Village 2 branch and our warehouse in Taman Melawati)

Next Babywearing class on 6th September 2013

It’s that time again. Babywearing 101 for Malaysian mamas in Kuala Lumpur.

Rumparooz Cloth Diaper Clearance Sale

We’ve just done a new stock count and updated the system for our stock of Rumparooz cloth diapers.

We have now separated out some of the Rumparooz that are appearing to have the delamination problem, so there is less likelihood you will get a “bad cloth diaper”.

It’s still going at RM200 for 6 + shipping fee (no free shipping on this folks, sorry!).  This is a low low price of RM33.33 per diaper – a lot below our cost price, so it’s a real bargain and a great buy if you are getting into cloth diapering and looking for pocket diapers. The Rumparooz diaper shape is a great one and one that is loved by many parents worldwide.

We have lots of Aplix, less Snaps, so get clicking if you are looking for snaps (Aplix is great for the newborn stage, if you have an older baby, pick snaps).

KAM Snaps back in stock

KAM Snaps are now restocked, with some popular colors coming back online. These KAM Snaps can be used with KAM Snap Pliers and KAM Snap Presses

KAM Snaps are made from polyacetal resin – a durable type of plastic that is less prone to breaking. Colors remain bright and sharp (do not iron buttons directly though, they are plastic, so they will melt if you apply an iron & pressure to them). KAM plastic snaps have been tested for harmful substances and comply with USA CPSIA regulations.

KAM Snap Pliers

Tiny Tapir has restocked the very popular KAM Snap Pliers DK-001

KAM Snap Pliers

Can you imagine we have sold 400 of these Snap Pliers since we first introduced them to Malaysia in 2010! In 2010 we only sold 50 of them, but that has increased steadily as awareness has increased on DIY crafting and sewing in Malaysia. Just goes to show that these reliable little tools are fantastic for little projects around the house.

They can be used to quickly fix broken buttons on clothing – a few strategically placed snaps on cloth can achieve a lot of things!  I have used mine to make impromptu table cloths for displays at fairs and events, to replace worn out velcro on hairbands.

I have also used snap pliers to close up pockets and even handbags that didn’t have zip or existing closures.

Spiffies Tooth Wipes & Gel – CLEARANCE

Here’s a chance to get a good bargain.

We have some Spiffies Tooth Wipes and Spiffies Tooth Gels that are expiring in August and September 2013, so we’re offering them to you at a 30% discount in packs.

These made in the USA wipes and gel (non foaming so your child who rejects toothpaste is likelier to learn to brush his or her teeth with this!) are a great tool in any parent’s arsenal in keeping their child’s teeth and gums healthy.

KAM Snap Presses Restocked

After a long hiatus, we are now restocked with KAM Snap Press DK93 and DK98.

These snap presses are ideal for home businesses or serious hobbyists who have incorporated the KAM snaps into their projects and products.

DK93 uses a screw in die shank and is better for small hobbyists who will be frequently changing out the shank.

DK93 KAM snap press

DK98 uses a smooth die shank – you need a tiny included allen key to change out the shanks – it’s a little more work and we usually recommend DK98 to those with small businesses – and we recommend buying 2 at once – one permenantly set up for the “Female” part of the snap and the other set up for the “Male” part of the snap. 

Babywearing Class 101 – 1st June 2013

It’s time for another Babywearing Class 101!  Our aim at Tiny Tapir is to see more parents in Malaysia comfortable with babywearing. Sure, strollers are a great tool, but they’re also cumbersome, heavy and not very convenient, what with Malaysia’s uneven pavements.  Babywearing is a great way to be able to leave your stroller at home and really enjoy being one on one in close contact with your baby (and isn’t that what we all want? Better bonding?).

This class will be held in two weeks on the 1st of June 2013.  We are aiming to hold a class on the first Saturday of every month.

Please do make sure to book your seat since space is very limited. We provide very personalised service on the day for you to try all our different types of carriers, so we purposefully prefer to keep class sizes small too.
