Ah yes, we got the expensive Lottie playmat for #1 on the basis it looked nice, but he hated it. For my 2 other kids we've had the cheap and cheerful Tiny Love playmat with jungle animals hanging on it, seems to be a popular choice and they often come up 2nd hand on the forum.

I've heard the fisher rice rainforest one is good too.


We had a borrowed one (can't remember the make) and when he seemed bored we pimped it up with extra toys. Mamas and papas have a really nice selection.


Generally add something by Lamaze and something with a mirror and he was happy though! Perhaps your bub has more exacting standards :-)

We had this a-frame shape Chicco one which was great as it's really easy to carry around the house - I used to put it on the bed while I was getting dressed, on the bathmat while I was in the shower, and on a blanket on the floor in the living room and it kept him happy for ages. It looks like it's not available now on Amazon but there are lots of similar a-frame ones and they are much cheaper than the big ones with mats. Also they're stronger - my little boy first pulled himself up to sitting on this and was thrilled. Really recommend. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chicco-Jungle-Nursery-Activity-Centre/dp/B000IYGJQ2


We also used to swap baby gyms among our NCT group every now and then as they all get bored of their own eventually and that extended their usefuless.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
