Advantages: Can be attached to almost anything
Disadvantages: My daughter has found it hard to grip!!

...I was bought this teether/rattle as a gift for my daughter and was, initially, delighted. DESCRIPTION It's a wonderful cheery colour which is attractive to babies. The toy is basically a clear ball containing 5 coloured flowers which acts as the rattle. Surrounding the ball is a circle of blue fleece which, I assume, is meant to pad the hard plastic of the rattle slightly and hold the 4 sections of rubber on which the child can chomp to ease their sore gums.The rubber sections have 2 types of texture on them to assist them in their job. The rattle/teether is completed by a soft blue/green fleece donkeys head. Attached to this head (by a green plastic ring around its neck) is a strap approx 15cms long which can be attached to pram/high chair/cot/child etc. MY DAUGHTERS IMPRESSION OF THE TOY. (please note, she is 4 months old so... Read review

Advantages: cute, easy to use, lovely donkey
Disadvantages: bit repetative

...I am a mad Eeyore fan, there's just something about that cute donkey! So my baby has no choice but to love Eeyore too! My husband came home with Happy Ears Eeyore when I was pregnant. I'm not sure if it was a present for me or the baby! Happy Ears Eeyore is made by Fisher Price. It comes fixed to an open display box. The toy is recommended for 18 months plus. It is operated by 4 x AA batteries. WHAT DOES EEYORE LOOK LIKE? Well, he looks like Eeyore silly! For those of you who don't know, he is a friend of Winnie The Pooh and he is a blue and purple donkey, with a pink bow in his tail. His tail falls off, so is usually attached with velcro or a ribbon. Eeyore is a very morose animal, always fearing and seeing the worst in the world. The toy is about 11" high and looks like the classic Disney Eeyore. The ears... Read review

Advantages: Bright & Colourful, Soft, Entertaining.
Disadvantages: Toys are a bit too high.

...This a gorgeous baby gym in an original design which is covered in a colourful soft fabric. The mat has a large centre section for baby to lie in and thick padded edges which also act a gentle buffer for rolling babies as they are gently raised and quite thick so baby would really have to go for it in order to escape! The mat is very durable and hand washable, the top centre of the mat is designed as Lavender Lamb's head, this contains a little speaker (which is safely hidden away) this plays the tune 'You are my sunshine', there is a double arch which criss crosses and has five toys hanging from it. These are all blossom farm animals, Dillon Donkey, Daisy Duck, Buttercup Cow and Digger Dog. The fifth toy is a large child safe mirror feature which is guaranteed to captivate your baby. All of the five toys are soft and brightly... Read review

Advantages: Helps with coordination, teaches weights, turn taking and even story telling.
Disadvantages: None

.... We are so glad we did with this game. All the pieces that you hang on Tigger were individually wrapped in plastic. It took us ages to undo all the little bags but finally we got there. Aftre a quick try of the game it was carefully placed away for our son the next day. We have four children so the game was well and truly tested. It is quite robust, unlike the buckaroo I remember which fell apart at first kick. (The donkey kicking...not me kicking the donkey!) Also replacement parts are available from the manufacturer. There is not much to do to set up the game so they were playing within seconds. The rules are so simple so all children should have no trouble understanding, and the tactics of choosing lighter objects soon dawns. Bounce Bounce Tigger kept our four busy for quite some time. He only bounces a little so... Read review

Advantages: Soft, portable, great for playing and sleeping, lasts well
Disadvantages: Poles do not wash

...coloured padded foam bars come with lavender lamb covered with lots of different patterns and colours: - Flowers - Spots - Stripes - Lines Then there are Five different toys that dangle from the bars - all of these can be easily removed: - Flower in the middle with a play mirror underneath - Dillon the Donkey - rattling sound - Duck - makes a quacking noise when shaken - Cow - has jingling bells - Poppy the Puppy - has jingling bells The mirror seems to be the most popular item, then I have not met a 3 - 6 month old that does not like looking at their reflection! You can easily attach other toys if they have something to grip onto the poles with e.g. pram/push chair toys, spirals etc. I have found that some of the fixing for the toys on the outer edges slowly make their way down the poles as the toys are a little...

Advantages: FUN AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN ONE, CHEAP AND ROBUST
Disadvantages: KANGAROO IS DIFFICULT TO SET

...Kangarooni a child’s game from the Early Learning Centre, a very similar idea to Buckaroo – you know the grumpy donkey on which you have to load all manner of items very carefully to make sure it doesn’t buck – well Kangarooni is pretty much the same, The game consists of one large brown jointed plastic Kangaroo, sporting a very fetching and unrealistic pouch with the Australian flag emblazoned upon it. The Kangaroo has a rather pleasant if goofy appearance and has a moveable head. If you will imagine the Kangaroo sitting on its hind legs – the knees are jointed, as is the tail section in three places. Not only this but also you have 14 Australian themed objects including a rather pink Aussie hat, a baby Joey, a Koala Bear, a platypus, crocodile, shovel, didgeridoo, rugby ball, boomerang, sunglasses (dame Edna style) cricket bat...

Advantages: Many, many, many....
Disadvantages: it IS an oil....

...Johnsons Baby Oil - a truly wonderful thing. For me, it's up there with the all-hallowed Vaseline. 2 products around for donkeys years that are a staple of bathroom cabinets for us, our mothers and our grandmothers! I started to use baby oil a good 10 years ago for dry skin. After a soapy shower (these moisturising gels weren't as common then), I'd rub just a small amount of baby oil all over my body bar my armpits. (Personal thing - I was convinced it would either block the pores or stop deodorant from working). One of the best things is you need so little of it - a few drops, rubbed between your hands will go a long way. I've used it as an eye make up remover, though this didn't work for me more than short term as my skin was greasy enough back then. It's a lovely massage aid - as my husband will testify after a hard... Read review
