...My son Christopher is almost 8 months old. The lucky boy has received many presents since he was born, one gift he got was the Tiny Love 1-2-3 Discovery Lane - a 3 stage crawling toy from Santa or should I say his Granny for Christmas. This is one of his favourite toys to play with so far! ~ Description ~ The 1-2-3 Discovery Lane stimulates and excites Christopher through sight, hearing and touch playing. It produces emotions of happiness and pride as he masters easy challenges. This toy increases his chances of success at achieving age-appropriate goals by designing the pieces to fit his little fingers and hands; making the individual toys and components easy to use. ~ Parents, you will like this toy too! ~ The Lane is completely baby safe.

Advantages: Large play area, lots of activities
Disadvantages: Can be expensive, music can get repetitive

...I decided to get an activity mat when my little boy became more interested in his surroundings and wanted more stimulation. I'd heard good things about the Tiny Love range and settled for the Lights & Music Gym as it had all the things I wanted. I had a look around for prices online and the average new is around £44.99 (not inc. p&p) from stockists such as Mothercare. I thought that was a little expensive and had a look on eBay, where I found several exact same gyms, and loads more similar ones by Tiny Love. After a couple of losing bids I secured myself a second-hand gym for £15 inc. p&p. I think the average price was around £18-20, which is very reasonable. The gym itself is fantastic. There are so many things to keep my little one amused. Several dangling toy animals that shake, rattle and roll. A mirror, lots of touchy feely areas... Read review

Advantages: Very stimulating for baby
Disadvantages: Dear

...I got this baby gym as a gift from a family friend when my baby was only a few days old, and needless to say he was not very interested in it then! He is 5 months now, and in the last 5 months he seems to have learned so much. He knows the toys, and loves the lights and music. Most gyms we looked at are very basic, with a few simple toys and a plain mat. these seemed to be something i would have thought would certainly be less stimulating and educational, although I have had no experience using one, they certainly dont look as interesting to me! The toys are all different, unlike some gyms where there may be 5 hanging toys, but all they are are plain soft toys, the tiny love toys all have their own unique feature. The giraffe which has stretchy legs and rattles, the monkey also has stretchy legs and big flat hands, the elephant... Read review

Advantages: Easy to wash, store and rearrange the toys
Disadvantages: needs a rug underneath for padding

.... The connectors can be combined to make the toys dangle at various levels depending on the "reach" of your baby. The base mat is detachable and can be machine washed if there are any accidents. Downsides..... The mat however is quite thin and if you have hard or wooden floors then you will need to put a rug or blanket underneath for baby's comfort. Summary....... This is a brightly coloured and interesting playmat for baby. My son loves his play mat and will contendly play for up to an hour and he is only 9 weeks old! He will kick and the toys and also try to grab them - they are a good size for tiny hands to practice gripping. But I do have to wash the rug used underneath and if I leave the play mat out my cat thinks that it is a comfy place to sleep!... Read review

Advantages: encourages baby to play
Disadvantages: none

...i bought one of these for my son when he was first born but he didnt really get into it till about 3-4 months and when he did he loved it The side-to-side flip blanket provides age-appropriate, self activated fun and fascination for facilitating baby's development. The instant feedback when she activates the touch pad will encourage her to increase her tummy-time and lift her head, strengthening her arms, neck and shoulders, as well as further developing her motor and cognitive skills. this gym hearing with the 10 minutes of relaxing classical pieces by Mozart, and a variety of well-loved nursery tunes, as well as the other sounds found on the mat and toys.

Advantages: Extra hang-ons available
Disadvantages: None

...I looked everywhere for an activity arch for my son in a desperate bid to keep him entertained. The tyni love arch appealed to me for its bright colours and variable toys. The arches have holes in them in which you clip a selection of toys. The toys are held on with links so you can adjust the hieght level easily as they get bigger. Extra toys and links are sold seperately so you can enhance the arch as baby gets older. A great feature of the arch is that it folds flat for transportation, excellent for me as his grandparents are miles away and we did a lot of travelling in his younger days. Now that my son is older he still gets enjoyment out of his tyni love arch as he plays with the toys which have been detached from the arch. He hs always loved playing with the links on their own which to me shows good product versatility... Read review

Advantages: Entertaining for 15 minutes at a time, introduces classical music, remote controlled
Disadvantages: push buttons were faulty on my original mobile, expensive

...I originally bought this mobile when I was about 5 weeks pregnant, I had seen it beforehand and had heard of the benefits of classical music on babies. The mobile plays 15 minutes each of Mozart (for cognitive development), Beethoven ( for stimulating) and Bach (for relaxing) and can contribute to a baby's spatial, logical-mathematical, linguistic and emotional intelligences according to the booklet that comes with the mobile. I actually bought it because I liked the multi-coloured animals, the way it moves and the music. My little boy has always loved looking at his mobile and I find that I can put him down under it and go for a shower in the morning and he will be happy. I don't find it useful at night time though, because of the bright colours and many movements, it tends to keep him awake. You can however remove the animals... Read review
