German term or phrase: Kuschel-Flippi-Nicki
This is one of hundreds of entries in a long list of baby products (groups).

I am at a total loss!
I am guessing that Nicki is a kind of cosy material (velour/flannelette?)...and who is Flippi? (cross between Flipper and Skippy?)

I apologise in advance for my ignorance!!!!
Thanks

English translation:Nicki - velours pullover / cuddly velours pullover
Explanation:
Could this be some kind of cuddly velours pullover? But what the Flippi is I've know idea? I like your idea of a combination of Skippy and Flipper! :-)) Maybe there's picture of Skippy-Flipper on the cuddly velours pullover??!

Maybe Flippi is the brand name???

Good luck!

Thanks! I came to the conclusion that it was a cosy, comfy, snug velours shirt / sweatshirt / sweater with a dolphin motif....now try putting that into 20 characters!

Flippi Nicky


Explanation:
All I can find on the net are names of pets - usually puppies or rabbits. Can it help? Is it anything in that shape or reminding them somehow?

Shirts are often called Nickis, from the material.

cuddly dolphin


Explanation:
Yes, I think the Kuschel refers to a cuddly toy, Nicki is the fabric (seems to be 80%cotton, 20% polyester - knitted, I assume), and my guess is that Flippi refers to the fact that it is a dolphin. See a dolphin toy called Flippi at

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Terry Gilman: basic meaning of Nicki as I know it is a velours t-shirt, usually with long arms, comfy "flipper" shirt (or comfy shirt with dolphin ?) (dolphin applique would prob be too specific). good luck!

  -> thanks, Terry- that sounds possible - I'd love to see one of these 'Flippi' shirts! :-)
