Lovely!, 19 May 2014

This is not rocket science, place ring into fabric and align, blow up ring (pinch the valve, air goes in!) do up zip, put pipes in fabric and connect using the elastic straps around the edge. Ok, it really is that easy and I did it all on my lonesome while watching my favourite programme while the children had a nap. The blow up ring does take a lot of breath but seriously, no more than a rubber ring you'd take to the swimming pool!

I got this for my 16 week old, it is bright, colourful, has sensory activities on the fabric and is a nice size so doesn't take up the whole room. My only criticism with this would be the amount of hanging toys that come with it, there are only three and a mirror, they attach via button holes on the 'beams' and while there are 6 holes, there are only three toys. I assume this is for height preferences but I have attached various Lamaze toys to it as well. My little boy fits nicely with his bum and legs in the hole and his shoulders leaned over the...

Great fun for little ones!, 14 July 2014

Our 6 month old has been using this for a few weeks. She can't yet sit up unsupported so this is a really handy toy to put her in and makes a nice change from either lying on the play mat or standing in the jumperoo.It was easy to assemble and is beautifully bright and cheerful looking with plenty to keep her interested for quite a while.My only complaint would be the size of it, it is rather large to store but overall I would recommend this, I imagine it will get quite a few months of use.

Visually & Aurally stimulating activity playthingy, 15 July 2014

Have had a similar playnest from this company previously.

The assembly of the gym is reasonably easy to put together.

The gym basically consists of a large inflatable cloth covered ring coupled to frame above. The three arms of the frame allow you to attach a variety of the supplied soft toys. Certain ones are visually stimulating others are also aurally stimulating with various sounds incorporated and others encourage touching holding and exploring activities to enable toddlers to develop these skills as well as hand eye co-ordination. These simply attach to the frame using velcro fasteners, so are both safe and easily removable.

Children can either just lie back and benefit from stimulation the parents provide (in the case of younger children who wont be able to sit up and play) or be able to touch feel and explore activities for themselves. Or simply lying there and gently falling asleep in the ring due to its comfort.

As well as the...
