Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Little tykes junior activity gym

Advantages: Hours of fun for the kids
Disadvantages: Have to take it apart to fully clean it

...My three children have their own little adventure playground in the back garden swings,slides and trampolines. When it was cold or rainy they had nothing to play on indoors so i bought them the activity gym they were absolutly chuffed to bits with it they could play with this toy indoors or out,so in the winter they had it indoors and in the summer the little ones played on it out doors as a climbing frame. It is aproximatly a metre high and about the same wide It looks quite pretty with its multy coloured sides,base and slide. The base comes in to pieces which is coloured blue there are four sides which easily click into place the colours of the sides are green orange and yellow.The slide just slots into place and can be removed so it can be used just as a climbing frame .The colour of the slide is pink. Children have hours...

A Scary Gym, But a Fun Activity Table

Advantages: Attractive toys, nice music, multipurpose, grows with your child
Disadvantages: Baby Gym mode can be a bit scary, seat isn't great

...We bought the Little Tikes 5 in 1 Activity Gym when my daughter was just a few months old. I feel I'm only now able to write a comprehensive review as she has only recently started to use the gym for the last purposes it is intended. ** What is it? ** The Little Tikes 5 in 1 Activity Gym is one of these multi-use toys. It is designed to grow with your child from birth onwards and adapts so that it can be used for different purposes as your childs requirements change. As the name would suggest, there are 5 uses to the gym. I will go into them individually later on in the review, but so you have an idea of the purposes, the 5 modes are: A baby gym A seat with activity table A desk with seat An easel I think the last mode is supposed to be where the activity bit lies flat and the baby can stand and play with the toys...

Review of Little Tikes 5-in-1 Adjustable Gym

activity gym

Advantages: Provides entertainment for many months
Disadvantages: Plastic bases are hard when the baby starts to roll

...I found this gym suitable from birth onwards, as advertised by the makers. When my baby was small, he loved looking at the black and white patterned arches. As he grew, he looked at the mobiles and tried to grab and kick them. As he grew, the gym still holds fascination for him. Aged nearly nine months, he enjoys dismantling it and he studies it intently. When he is older, the gym converts to a tunnel which will give him more pleasure. Therefore it is a gym with longlasting appeal. The only negative aspect of the gym is when he started to roll, the red plastic bases were hard for him to roll onto, and would prevent him rolling over. However, that stage of development does not last long....

Review of Fisher Price Kick and Crawl Activity Gym

The best activity gym yet.

Advantages: Lots of different activities for the growing baby
Disadvantages: Yes, more batteries to be bought

...batteries. On to the features of this toy. There are two settings to choose from, the first plays a different tune each time your baby hits the sun, moon or stars hanging from the drop down section. This also activates flashing lights in the keyboard style buttons, which are situated across the front of the toy. The second setting works on a similar basis as the first but when the sun, moon or stars are hit it plays several different tunes one after the other and again the flashing lights are activated. This helps hand co-ordination by encouraging a child to activate the sound by hitting the correct part of the toy. It also helps eye co-ordination by encouraging a baby to follow the flashing lights with their eyes as they move from button to button. This particular aspect of the toy has been a godsend for me because it really keeps my...

Review of Fisher Price Sparkling Symphony Gym

Get Your Toddler Physical!

Advantages: Well built, stable, versatile
Disadvantages: Suitable for a relatively small age range

...The Little Tikes junior activity gym is a great introduction to outdoor climbing and sliding fun for toddlers from around 12 -36 months. Little Tikes are known for producing good quality outdoor toys and this one is no exception. Its joy is in its simplicity and soon your toddler will be climbing all over the place and you'll relax in the knowledge that no real harm is likely to result (assuming of course that there is adequate supervision). The Concept The concept is simple. There's a basic climber that leads to a platform from which the child can go down a very small slide. The slide is probably slightly shorter than the Little Tikes 3-step slide but, for me, the addition of the climbing frame makes this toy the better choice. The child has a number of choices to make when deciding how to reach the platform...

Review of Little Tikes Jr Activity Gym

Fun for little tikes!

Advantages: Bright and fun
Disadvantages: Bit small

...This Little Tikes Activity Gym is great for young children and creates a fun environment which is also safe. The activity gym comes in a large box which contained all the parts. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Looking at the gym all you needed to do is slot in the pieces. This was true as the pieces did have to be slotted together but getting them together was the hard bit. You need someone strong who can force the sections together but at least the instructions are easy to follow so you don't go wrong (imagine having to undo it and reassemble it!). The activity gym is brightly coloured meaning more fun for the children. Be warned that the colours do not remotely blend in with any surroundings so don't be alarmed when you have this bright coloured object in the middle of your garden. The slide is quite short which...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

I'm the king of the castle.....

Advantages: Fun | Colourful | Extremely durable
Disadvantages: Limited age group.

...With all the lovely weather we've had this weekend, I decided it was time to clean all the garden toys down, ready to let the little horrors out to play. Yes, I know, you'll all blame me now if it rains tomorrow. Anyhow, while doing all this sprucing up, I realised that the children had outgrown some of these toys, and we were going to have to find new homes for them (the toys of course not the children, although any offers will be considered). One of these toys was the Little Tykes Activity Gym, that was bought for the younger two for Christmas four years ago, and as I'm feeling a bit nostalgic I thought I'd tell you all about it. ~~~The hard bit (part 1)~~~ Right when we first bought this Gym it came packed in a very large box, completely unassembled. So we had to put it together, which from reading the very clear instructions...

dermalogica active moist lotion

Advantages: lovely smell, verry hyrdating and lightweight
Disadvantages: have to use with other dermalogica products not so good on its own

...dermalogica active moist is recommended for skin prone to oiliness and is a lightweight lotion which provides daily moisture protection to combat surface dehydration. It contains silk amino acids, and natural botanicals of lemon, cucumber and burdock with no artificial colour or fragrance. It comes in a slim white tube - i do hate pot moisturisers they seem so unhygienic so this was great in that respect and it really lasts for ages despite the steep prices dermalogica products do work out to be quite economical over a long period. Always get your skin mapped by a dermalogica professional before purchasing to avoid all that trial and error when you start using a new regime. I would say this moisturiser is lovely, light and easily absorbed when used with a full regime of dermalogica cleansers and toners and scrubs. When I first bought...

Review of Dermalogica Active Moist

A great home multi gym

Advantages: Great value for money, plenty of weights
Disadvantages: Takes a while to build, inability to add additional weights

...In a bid to shift a bit of weight a few years back I joined a local gym. Initially, I only participated in cardio vascular exercise and made full use of the rowing machine, treadmills and exercise bikes. The gym I was a member of was primarily a body building gym, which is to be expected since it is owned by a competitive body builder. It was inevitable that I would ?dabble? with the weights and over the year or so I was a member I learned a lot. I was shown what exercises to do for each major muscle group, the correct form and the correct weight to use. When using weights safety is paramount and it is very easy to do yourself a serious injury. Even the seasoned body builders follow this rule. I used to cringe when I saw some of the new members arrive, set the weight really high and then proceed to perform the exercise with poor...
