Advantages: Nice cheerful animals

Disadvantages: You can't see all toys at once

We were given this as a present when my daughter was a month old. It's a brightly coloured snake like object which curls around the bar on a baby's bouncer, cot, car seat or pushchair. We never had a pushchair with a bar, and don't go in the car often, so this didn't get as much use as it could have done, but she used it sometimes on her bouncer, and on her crib.

The animals are traditional farm animals in non traditional colours, which coordinates with a whole range of toys that ELC do, Blossom Farm. It looked very lovely in the box.

Each animal makes a different noise and has a different feel. There are squaeks, bells, crinkles and the obligatory mirror. Off the rail, it was great for playing with indvidually.

Sadly, when it is on the rail, it's impossible for the child to get at everything. Either they can see the mirror or they can play with the donkey. They can't get to both sheep and chicken at the same time, which means carer has to decide which they're most likely to want today.

Finally, the more times you move it, the less it springs back into shape, and the more difficult it is to move again.

It's a really nice idea, but there's just too much going on, and not enough room to do it.

Summary: A nice idea, badly executed.
