Find your feet with the Chicco DJ Baby Walker.
Suitable from six to twelve months, the Chicco DJ Baby Walker is height adjustable so that the product grows with your child, this particular isn’t a featured included with many walkers which are on the market and can be an issue for shorter children, Chicco has illuminated walker height issues as the DJ Walker has three height settings. The walker is easily folded down flat, making it convenient to transport or store.
The Chicco DJ Baby Walker features two swivel wheels at the front and two wheels at the back. Included on the walker upon purchase are six breaks (referred to by Chicco as ‘stoppers’), these can be removed or alternatively kept in place so that the walker is a stationary activity station.
The Chicco DJ Baby Walker features a central activity tray which can be removed so that your child can use the table to eat upon or use for other activities if required.
There are two different light and sound activity trays on the market for the Chicco DJ Walker both of which require 2x AA batteries. Available toy trays are either a steering wheel and car sound effects tray or a Keyboard and Drum sound effects tray. Mums Baby Magazine has tested both trays and found them to be equally effective. However, it seems the steering wheel tray non surprisingly seems to be more popular with little boys and the keyboard tray seems to be a hit with little girls. It is entirely dependent upon the style and colour of the walker purchased as to which tray you will get. Chicco advertise that the tray is also compatible with some of their pushchairs and pram 
systems available.
The padded seat is safely clipped in and features a sturdy back to aid posture. The seat can be removed for washing and be machine washed at 40 degrees but should not be tumble dried.
Walkers should never be used by infants without adult supervision, they should also not be used for excessive times as it is important that infants exercise naturally without the aid of a walker in order to encourage natural development of growth and movement. It is also important that adults consider that walkers increase the speed at which an infant can move especially where houses have wooden/ smooth surfaced floors. Therefore any room in which the walker is to be used must be safeguarded/ childproofed. Ensure that baby safety gates are fitted 
where required and walkers are unable to tip, ever use a walker near to a staircase or upon an elevated surface.
Available from www.mothercare.co.uk for only £39.99, the Chicco DJ Baby Walker is an excellent walker as not only can it be used as a walker but an activity station, it is also as previously mentioned is height adjustable and therefore more accessible for infants of differing heights and sizes.
Balancing Fun and Exercise with the Fisher Price Bounce ‘n’ Spin Zebra.
Currently available for only £47.99 from Smyth’s Toy Store, The Fisher Price Bounce and Spin Zebra is the ideal toy for toddlers aged one years upwards. Available in two designs (either the original zebra which is suitable for either gender or alternatively pink for girls), the Bounce ‘n’ Spin Zebra is a sturdy, heavy duty toy which helps your toddler to become active, exercise and have fun.
The Bounce and Spin Zebra features lights and sound which are activated when the toy is used, acting as a reward for little ones, encouraging them to continue bouncing. There are five songs which play according to whether the zebra is sat on, spun, or whether the items on the handles are played with. The Bounce and Spin Zebra requires 3xAA Batteries.
The Bounce ‘n’ Spin Zebra offers toddlers the chance to develop and perfect crucial 
life skills such as hand-eye coordination, motor skills and balance. Upon the handle bar are several spinning, rolling and light up features which keep little ones busy. The easy grip handles help toddlers to stay safe. However, it is suggested that the Bounce ‘n’ Spin Zebra is placed upon a carpet/ mat as it has better grip and if a child was to lose balance they would have a softer landing.
Mums Baby Magazine put the Bounce ‘n’ Spin Zebra to the test and found this item to be extremely sturdy, safe and most importantly great fun for little ones. Once toddlers learn how to get the general hang of using the Zebra they soon increase in speed at spinning, bouncing and rocking on the zebra! This toy is an excellent devise for combining exercise with fun whilst building critical life skills.
Jump for joy with the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo
The Fisher Price ‘Rainforest Jumperoo’ makes bouncing fun for little ones and gives parents the chance to rest their arms while they watch their children discover their jumping legs.
The Fisher Price ‘Rainforest Jumperoo’ is an excellent alternative to a standard door bouncer. Firstly, the Rainforest Jumperoo is portable and therefore babies needn’t be in doorways. Doorway bouncers can be hazardous as babies often bang their heads upon doorframes and become an obstacle for people passing through the doorway in which the bouncer is situated. The Rainforest Jumperoo can be setup in a safe area and does more than just allow them to bounce up and down!
The seat rotates 360 degrees allowing babies to explore the many activities which surround them. The seat has a three point adjusting system to suit the height of your baby. If required the seat can be removed for washing (this can be washed at forty degrees in a normal cycle).
The activity ring surrounding the babies seat features the following:
- spinning coloured discs
- a press and popup tiger
- a spinning and rattling lizard
- a spinning sunshine
- a swinging monkey and parrot
- a pull and twist elephant, as well as a detachable bug teether which can be washed easily.
Above the activity table are two leaves which clip to the top of the three supports for the Jumperoo. Each leaf has a rainforest animal hanging from it. These can be adjusted in height according to your babies size. These swinging animals are great for your baby to reach up to and jump for as well as stimulate them visually.
The Jumperoo has lights and Music which play and flash to reward your babies bouncing. This setting can be changed to play constant Music or alternatively switched off if required. Two volume settings enable parents to chose between loud/ quiet Music.
The Jumperoo can be folded up to store. However, it is still quite bulky and does take up quite a large amount of space.
The Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo is suitable for babies who are able to hold their head unassisted and can be used up until your child weighs 11kg. Your child should never be left unattended whilst using this product.
The Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo is available from www.mothercare.co.uk or Mother Care Stores UK Wide for £89.99. Although this may seem pricey, it is well worth the money just to see your little one giggling with glee as they find the spring to their step.
