Fisher-Price Baby Gymtastics Bounce And Spin Zebra



My son has had this since his 1st birthday. He is now 18 months and just loves this zebra! Amazon have an amazing price on this item and I highly recommend it. I bought it from Early Learning Centre for considerably more money :( This would make a child a very nice Christmas present. It is better to spend that little bit more on one item that will be greatly used than on several items which are mostly the same and will end up at the bottom of the toy box.

VTech First Steps Baby Walker




With a brand new look, new activities and new functions the baby walker is better than ever!
Sturdy design to support and nurture your baby's first steps. The walker features a detachable learning centre packed with activities. Shapes and light-up musical keys introduce letters, words, numbers, animals, colours, sung songs and 8 melodies. Includes a phone with beads for noisy role-play and moving butterfly, discs and rollers to develop manipulative skills.

We bought this for our little boy as he was constantly using items of furniture to help him stand but lacked the confidence to walk. He is now 13 months old and although he is still not walking independently he loves to toddle around with his walker. We have noticed that his balance has improved considerably and that he is gradually becoming braver, even letting go completely when distracted by Pepper Pig on TV ! It's bright and baby friendly with lots of fun things to do. Just as importantly it's strong and dead easy to clean. The telephone is brilliant too.



Also available in pink for the girlies

Trunki Harley the Ladybug Ride-on Suitcase (Limited Edition)



Trunki is a genius idea - a child's suitcase, on wheels, which is also a pull-a-long or ride on toy. Excellent value for money, practical and fun. A big hit with both my daughter and I.

Harley, is a 'special edition' for this summer, and is stunning in its red colour and spotty design. I have the ladybird wheelybug Wheelybug Ladybird Large for my daughter, so this seemed a natural choice. (There are many other designs and colours available too).

It is very strong, sturdy, yet surprisingly spacious - we managed to pack all we needed for a weekend away in the compartments. Good features such as elastic straps helped enormously.

Most impressive though is the fun and enjoyment that never ends once the case is closed! My daughter loves scooting about on its back (complete with sound effects and singing!!)She also pulls it about as her 'pet' and so travelling becomes somewhat easier with her 'in charge' of her own luggage! At home she insists on playing with it too so it has been in use continually.

One point to mention - if you are putting it on a plane, do consider the additional stickers Trunki Sticker Pack
to personalise as there may well be another about (and its hard to tell which case is which on a baggage claim as it is)!
