Anyone know if this is a good toy? worth the money?

Thanks

I had the older version and tbh it doesn't encourage them to crawl

I had a similar one and it just kept rolling under things and it was quite heavy and really annoying

[Jenn]

ok - thanks guys. Wondered as it was more than I would usually pay for a toy but James was so fascinated by it when it is in the box at the toy shop. Cool - will keep looking around for something new.

we have this jenn and i wouldnt buy it again.

it is really really heavy! and when they can crawl they can throw and it goes with a thud!
i didnt think it did anything with his crawling. plus its not that easy for a baby baby to use. they arnt quite at the stage where they understand what buttons to press to get ot to do what.

it would be ok if you wanted it as just a toy but if you dont want to part with you cash for a toy dont bother!

cool thanks ladies - i took your advice and didn't bother! odd as the reviews online are mostly good? but after looking at it today - i so agree with you!

i got him some bargain elc stackable trains at 70% off instead which he loves and a bargain at £3 from Debenhams!

I was about to say the same, jamie had it and it didn't make him want want to crawl or anything, he wasn't really fussed with it at all. If your looking forsomething to encourage him to crawl there is a snail which is good, i have one for sale at the moment for £5
