play gym- tents ?

[buzzing bee]

Hi All,

I was at toys r us the other day and saw what I think are called play tents/gyms for babies and toddlers. One in particular I can't remember the name of was from fisher and price and was the plastic blow up type that bubs crawl thru and play in.

I am looking for a similar product, can anyone tell me if they have something like this and if they are worth buying?.

Sorry I am being so vague but hopefully you get the drift

Thanks

p.s I have tried looking on the toys r us website but can't find it.

I have just one of those normal tent things. It was $15 from target..... Cj never plays in it. Dont bother I say. A sheet over the top of a couple of chairs seems to be way more fun apparently!! :laughing: Mind you he's 2? Dont know if that makes any difference?

My advice (from personal experience) would be to steer clear of blow up types - for two reasons: (1) they get holes in them really easily and (2)unless you have the room to keep it blown up all the time it becomes to much of a hassle to blow it up everytime you want to use it.

I have a blow up boat that is sitting in the bottom of my cupboard and I think I have had it out twice in 3 years!!

I bought DS2 a pop up tent - really easy to set up and put away - and he loves it!

I have just purchased a product that has 2 different popup tents with a tunnel connecting them. It was $55 from Big W and is called Adventure Playzone.

I got Kathleen one for her 3rd birthday and it is a Bazoongi Kids brand play cottage. They have both boys and girls themed ones and she loves it - all of them do. One of the best things I have ever brought. it is really easy to put up and stores really easy too.

Huggies ( www.huggies.com.au ) have a promotion on at the moment of a car/tent (cubby sort of thing).

You only need 10 nappy barcodes and a babywash barcode.

Cant tell you what they are like yet as waiting for it to be delivered.
