Galt Playnest

I had wanted to get a playnest from when I fell pregnant because I thought it looked so wonderful. I knew I couldn't afford one with prices starting from £25.00 to £40.00 with the gym attached. So imagine my delight when my very kind mother-in-law returned with one whilst out shopping for some bits for me when my dear son was just a couple of days old. I was absolutely thrilled. We didn't open it for a while but when we did get around to it, we discovered it was extremely hard work to blow up. It only has one small hole to blow into similar to blowing up swim floats for example. It took a combined effort of 3 people all night to do it! Then we forgot to ...  Read the complete review

Just before having my second child I was out shopping for all those little baby things to fill the house up with. When looking at floor mats and play gyms I wanted something different. My eldest had a flat mat with toys that hung above him. I saw the Galt Playnest and immediately fell in love. It was that something different I'd been looking for. The Playnest has a brightly coloured farm scene along it. There are little flaps on it for baby to play and make noises with. It comes with two poles that you place across each other into the loopholes. There are 5 different toys to hang from the poles. Each one has different materials, noisy bits and colours. ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the Galt Playnest when my baby was around 5 months old. I wasnt going to buy one at first but after visiting a freinds one day and seeing how much her little girl loved her playnest I decided I would buy one. I think these are around £15 in the shops but I purchased mine from Ebay for £4, it was in fantastic condition. My little boy loved it, he was at the stage where he wanted to be more upright but couldnt yet sit unaided so this really helped him. He would sit for ages in here playing and it meant he could reach all of his toys. We also used to play his bumbo baby seat inside the ring and then, put him in the bumbo and ...  Read the complete review

There are two version of the playnest - the simple nest and the one with a baby gym attached. I bought the one with the gym although I would advise other parents to go for the simpler model. A play nest is basically an inflated ring that is covered with fabric. Baby can sit or lie in the middle of the ring in safety and fully supported. The fabric is brightly coloured with farmyard pictures on it - very appealing to the young eye. The ring has a number of multi-sensory features for the baby to explore. The sheep has a wooly coat that little hands like to stroke. The ducks beak can be squeezed to produce a quacking noise.The scarecrow wears a tie that ...  Read the complete review

I first came across this product when Charlotte was learning to sit up on her own. Mooching round Mothercare one day I saw this and thought it would be ideal to sit Charlotte in so she could play. Also it would stop my cushions getting soggy, puked on etc etc. Basically it is a ring which baby sits in, or rolls about in without coming to harm. It measures 85cm in diameter (33" in old money), and is an inflatable plastic ring which fits inside a material cover. (small tip here inflate the ring when inside the cover - you'll save yourself a lot of time!!) The material is all different colours and textures and is based upon a farmyard theme. ...  Read the complete review
