This is a very versatile toy with lots of lovely features that my 11 month old son still plays with. I bought it for him when he was two months old as I was looking to find a way of encouraging him to play on his tummy and had read a lot of positive reviews about this product. ~~~ Product Description ~~~ This toy comes in two parts. The first part of the toy is a nice, brightly coloured play mat which is about 70cm in diameter and is in the shape of a flower with 5 petals. Each petal has a different activity: there is a bumble bee attached to the mat by elastic which has a rattle inside; there are two large leaves which have crinkly material ...  Read the complete review

Some weeks back when Baby CrazyEgg was 11 months, her physiotherapist was very keen on encouraging her to push herself up on her arms. "If she doesn't Commando crawl from this position, the next thing I would be looking for would be whether she will lie on her tummy and move round 360 degrees." At this point in time it was quite apparent to me that Baby CrazyEgg was not ready to 'Commando crawl' anywhere. I resolved that we would have to try and encourage the 360 degree tummy spin. Imagine my excitement when my sister-in-law, SaneEgg presented me with a Lamaze Spin and Explore Garden Gym, that Baby CrazyEgg's cousin was no longer using. Not in ...  Read the complete review

Not long after my daughter had been born we started to notice the back of her head was flattening at one side. We soon realised that it was being caused by a preference for looking to the left when sleeping. Like most parents we follow the information provided by the charity SIDS, to prevent cot death. This includes always lying a baby on his / her back to sleep. We were advised amongst other things to make the most of 'tummy time' for playing as much as possible to provide relief to her head . Through my research into ways of improving the problem I came across the Lamaze Spin and Explore Gym. This is really quite different to many play gyms on the market as ...  Read the complete review

The Lamaze Spin and Learn Ladybird was given to me by a friend who had used it with her baby for a while, but they did not get on with it, so we thought maybe it was just her baby and that maybe my son would like it, this was not to be the case. The toy is suitable from birth up to when they can sit up. The toy, as with all Lamaze products looks great it is brightly coloured and has lots of features and things to encourage play. The toy comes with a flower shaped mat and a plastic and rotating platform. The idea is that you put the mat on the floor with the platform in the middle, you then lie your baby, once they can hold their head up, on their tummy on ...  Read the complete review

I was delighted when I came across this toy when looking on the Internet for my three month old's first Christmas. He is not a lover of tummy time at the best of times, and has a slightly flattened head from being on his back so much. It is a lot smaller than it looks in pictures, but just the right size for a wee baby. It is suitable from birth and when your child is beginning to sit up, you can remove the spinner so they can carry on playing with the play mat itself. The spinner comes with a soft red ladybird cushion that you insert the top of the spinner into. You can then lie your baby across it very comfortably. The mat itself has crinkly ...  Read the complete review
