Great toy in its cathegory, but you should know this...
My wife and I had been looking for a toy like this for some time. We wanted a place for our daughter (3 months old), where she could lie down and explore and play with various toys. Both to help stimulate her, but also to give my wife a break during the day. We looked at a multitude of these toys and concluded this would suit our needs the best.
It has proved to be great. I couldn't help noticing that these people really seem to have put some thought into the whole toy. To my knowledge there are no other toys like it with an inflatable ring to help the baby sit up.
In the beginning we didn't inflate the ring, we thought the toy would work just as well when the base was all flat. It worked decently, but our daughter could not reach all of the toys, some would be in her face. Now we have it inflated and its playability has increased tremendously because of this. She can even fall asleep all quietly while playing with it. Great for any new parents!
Of negative points you should know that:
- The inflatable ring is VERY difficult to inflate. No one will have the lung power and stamina to inflate it all in one go!
- We washed the whole toy, and the colours fade quickly if machinewashed.
- Some of the toys (the red and yellow sun) has a tendency to upset our daughter. She simply gets so agressive, that she is screaming with anger while trying to tear it apart.
Positive things, you can't know:
+ The individual toys are very durable (apart from the colours). They have been machinewashed (I am sure the manufacturer is horrified now), also the electronic ones. They still work impeccably!
Enjoy.
