Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

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

...coloured plastic feels very robust and weather proof and I think this has been proved by the fact that my brother is now 5 and the activity gym has been sitting in our garden for just over 4 years now and still looks as good as new! The activity gym is recommended for children aged 18months to 4 years old. My brother first played on it on his first birthday and quite enjoyed climbing up and going down the slide. It is very sturdy and because it is quite low in height it means that if the child falls of the slide they are not likely to be injured. We placed ours on the grass although it did mean that grass stains were gained when crawling through the holes! Looking back it would probably have been better to put the cube onto a mat when in use so that there was no direct contact with the grass and things which may have been lurking in there...

Rainforest Playmat/Gym - brilliant buy

Advantages: Lots of toy for the baby to play with & nice and colourful
Disadvantages: none

...Me and my partner had been looking at playmats for a while & could not decide which one to go for, they all vary so much in price & some have a lot more on than others, we desided we wanted a nice colourfull one with as much on as we could get. After a bit of searching we found this on on the Argos website & loved it as soon as we saw it, think the giraffe on one side sold it for us. This playmat is a very good size, it has a large multi coloured mat (which can be used on its own), it has pictures of monkeys, frogs, birds etc on it and also has a squshy leaf in one corner which is filled with noisy paper & various other bits that stick up for the baby to play with. The arch that you attatch to each corner crosses over in the middle above the baby! One arch is green jungle design & the other is a rainbow which also has the giraffe...

Review of Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym

The best activity gym yet.

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

...think that this aspect of the toy will also provide Matthew with a lot of entertainment once he is old enough to use it because it gives a child new and exciting ways to develop skills in line with their age. For the sanity of parents who have to sit and listen to this all day, the toy has a volume switch on the back so you can have it on quiet or loud if you prefer. All in all though it is a great toy, one that will last for ages and is truly good value for money. The Fisher Price Sparkling Symphony Gym retails at about £34.99....

Review of Fisher Price Sparkling Symphony 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 Fisher Price is not Right.

Advantages: Nice Looking design.
Disadvantages: Risk of the chair toppling over if baby is active in any way.

...the chair over if I hadn't of got to him in time. They were quite concerned and handled the problem in a professional manner and asked me to return the chair and they would test it to see if they could find a problem with it, and to see if it was a faulty chair. They asked a few questions and made notes. They knew that I did not want a replacement and I didn't contact them for that reason I was concerned in case there was a fault with this line of product. They offered me a good will gesture and replaced the chair with a toy from their range. This chair is still available to buy, I would think before purchasing, especially if you have an active baby. I would not buy this particular chair again, however I will still continue to buy Fisher Price products in the future. Maybe this was a one off, let's hope so. Remember never leave you baby...

Review of Fisher Price Link-a-doos - Infant to Toddler Rocker

Little tykes junior activity gym

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

...of fun with this toy it is a perfect hiding place when playing hide and seek as there are holes in the framework for the children to crawl through which means they can hide under the climbing frame. They can climb over crawl under and even go down the slide. This activity gym costs around £50 from catalogues such as littlewoods and argos you may get it cheaper on ebay but youd have to check as im not sure about that as i bought mine from a catalogue so i payed full price but it has been money well spent as my kids have never been off it since i bought it. I know this is supposed to be an outdoor toy but it is small enough to use indoors and when it is not being played with it will fit snuggly in a corner with it being square and for even easier storage you can just take it apart which actually takes up less room....

Laughing & Learning with Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Chair

Advantages: Fun, perfect height, varied activities, educational, different modes of play
Disadvantages: Lighter children not heavy enough to work the button on the seat

...attention to what was on the box I was intrigued to learn it was a Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Chair. I gave Daddy the task of building it up as always, but while watching him, I realised that I could probably have done it myself quite easily. When it was all built up I have to say I thought it looked really smart. It has a little green chair which is the perfect size for a toddler and to one side there is a table with a few activities on it. There are three different modes of play - learning time, music time and fun time. This means that the activities will suit toddlers of all ages. The first time my daughter saw the chair, she was immediately attracted to it. On the activity table, there is a box of plastic crayons which can be pressed and do different things depending on the mode of play. In learning mode, they will sing...

Review of Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Musical Chair

Fisher price elmo live.. a great toy!!

Advantages: He is really cute,he does so many different things from singing to speaking and telling stories
Disadvantages: can be a little delicate so will have to be careful when handling him

...Elmo live is a great toy and with such as good brand such as fisher price you are certainly going to get a great quality item. Elmo live is designed to be used for 18 months plus. Elmo live your favourite sesame street character acts just like the real thing from the famous TV show. I decided to buy this for my 2 and half year old daughter as I had heard a lot of good things said about Elmo live and the many wonderful things he does as he laughs as he has sensors on his hands, feet, mouth, nose and back. Each sensor pressed enables Elmo to tell many funny jokes, he sings some of his favourite songs and he talks by moving his mouth up and down like a real person and I must say he is certainly not one to be shy at all as he can talk quite a bit but very interesting at the same time. His head really bobbles back and forth while he...

Amazing Fisher Price Strikes Again

Advantages: Durable, Colourful, Fun, lots of features
Disadvantages: Songs a bit repetitive

...which I have found available which are based on a similar theme but are not related to the train. There may be other animals or items that I have not come across. -Overall- I am extremely pleased with this purchase. When I saw the price I did wonder whether it was good value or if we were paying for the Fisher Price name. The toy is good quality and has wonderfully bright colours. With the add ons that are available I believe this will become one of my sons favourite toys. I have already suggested some of these for his Christmas presents to relatives. The only negative thing I have to say about the train is that it could have maybe had more songs to make it a little less repetitive. -Other stuff- Price £29.99 Add on push & pull cars £9.99 Amazing animals £5.99 The train can be bought from Toys R Us and Argos. The other add...

Review of Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Learning Train

Fisher Price Thermos Food Warmer

Advantages: great for warming baby food
Disadvantages: bulky, heavy

...Once your baby starts eating more solid foot, then you need to consider meal times when you are out and about. The Fisher Price Thermos Food Warmer is great for heating up either bottles or food. FISHER PRICE THERMOS FOOD WARMER Like its sister (Fisher Price Bottle Warmer), the thermos consists of a flask with a large blue lid. The lid is large enough to hold bottles like Tommee Tippee ones, or pots of food. The thermos comes with one food pot, a handle to hold the food pot and a little spoon. The food pots can be put into the freezer with food in. You take the lid of the thermos off, and pour the water into it from the flask. The flask has a pouring spout, so that you only need to press a button, you do not need to unscrew it. The idea is that the handle slots over the Fisher Price food pot, enabling you to lift...
