Comfort & Play (6)

Everybody tells you to do tummy time. Nobody tells you how to get a baby to tolerate it — most last about ninety seconds before the complaining starts.This is 30 inches of water under clear plastic, printed with a reef, with sea creatures that float away when they push at them — and three LED toys that light up when they press the mat. Press, and something happens. They will do it over and over. 30″ across · room to stretch and reach 3 tap-to-glow LED toys sealed inside Fills by hand in about two minutes — no pump, no batteries Indoors, or out on the grass in summer Wipes clean, empties, rolls away flat Supervised, awake play only — stay within arm’s reach. Not a sleep surface and not a paddling pool.

For the stage where they want to be upright and part of things, but tip over the moment you let go.An inflatable floor seat with a high back and wrap-around sides that hold them steady while they sit and watch you. It gives you both hands back for ten minutes — which at that age is the whole point.The pump is built into the seat. No separate pump to lose: open the valve, press the column up and down for a couple of minutes, close it. It deflates just as fast and folds to the size of a jumper, so it goes in the boot for a picnic or flat in a suitcase. Built-in hand pump — inflates in about two minutes, no accessories needed High back and side bolsters for babies who are still wobbly Wide, stable base — no wheels, nothing to roll Soft PVC, wipes clean with a damp cloth Packs flat · two prints to choose from For babies who can already hold their head up steadily, roughly 6 months and older. Floor use only, always within arm's reach. This is not a bath seat, a pool float or a flotation device — never use it in or near water.

Hard floors are unforgiving at the age where they are learning to sit, then crawl, then walk into things. A rug does not help — it is thin, it slides, and it soaks up whatever gets spilled on it.This one is thick, plush and water-repellent. Soft enough that a backwards topple is a non-event, firm enough to push up and stand on. A full bottle wipes off rather than soaking in, and the underside is a dotted anti-slip layer that keeps it flat on wood or tile.Four sizes, all 78″ long — from a narrow strip down one side of a room to a full 78″ square. The two largest are big enough that adults end up on them too. Plush, water-repellent surface — wipes clean, vacuums fine Anti-slip dotted backing · bound edges One piece — no interlocking tiles to come apart Four sizes: 39″×78″, 47″×78″, 55″×78″, 78″×78″

The five minutes in the checkout queue. The bit of the walk where the pram stops being interesting. This is the thing that goes on the bar in front of them.An arch of things actually worth grabbing — a crab with a real mirror in its back, a clear ball of beads that rattles as it rolls, a windmill that spins when they pull it, and soft silicone teethers that unclip to be chewed on their own.It clips to almost anything: pram bar, cot rail, bassinet, bouncer or car-seat handle. The clips open from 4cm to 8cm and rotate a full 360°, so it sits at the right angle whatever you hook it onto. Fits bars 4–8cm · 360° rotating clips 47 × 40.5cm arched · 83cm laid flat Suitable from birth (0m+) Detachable hanging toys Soft silicone teethers

Somewhere to put the baby down that they actually want to be.A padded mat with an overhead arch of hanging toys, and a detachable piano at the foot end they can kick. Newborns lie and look at the mirror and the lights. A few months on they start batting at the toys. Later still they roll over and play the piano with their hands. It keeps earning its floor space long after most baby gear stops. Detachable piano — lights, melodies and animal sounds, kicked with the feet or played by hand later on Adjustable arch with 5 hanging toys, including a baby-safe mirror 5 rattle and teething toys included Soft padded mat, machine washable 71 × 58 cm mat (28 × 23 in) · arch 40 cm (15.75 in) high Folds flat · piano runs on batteries (not included) Suitable from birth with supervision. Always use on the floor — never on a raised surface — and stop using the arch once your baby can push up on hands and knees.

The same soft dino that comes free with the Snot Busting Package — because the parents who got one kept asking where to buy another.It is deliberately light and small enough for little arms, with stubby wings that are easy to grip. Ours mostly gets used as the thing to hold during nose-clearing, nappy changes and appointments — anything a baby would rather not be doing. Soft short-pile plush with a lightweight fill Sized for small hands to carry and cuddle Two colours: mint green and pink Two sizes: small and medium Surface washable — spot clean and air dry Not a sleep aid. Keep loose items out of the cot in line with safe sleep guidance.
