Galt Playnest - Farm

 (29 customer reviews)

I bought this for my active, strong baby boy to use starting at 3 months once he started being able to strengthen his core sitting muscles towards sitting. It was definitely one of the best gear items/toys that I bought for him, it's been in the center of our living room since he was 3 months old (he's now 14 months). It has a lot of interesting, educational details in the Farm scene that runs along the circumference of the Nest, I'll details those below. It's had a number of different uses for us as he's physically matured since 3 months:

The Sits but Only With Assistance age: At 3 months, he was a bit hesitant of it at first, because he could only lounge in it, with the sides of the nest supporting his little back, but once he realized that he could use it to look out our patio door, it became a little station I could plunk him into while I supervised him closely, but from a few feet away (fold laundry, etc.).

I love the playnest! My daughter has hip problems and we could not put her in an exersaucer type activity center. This playnest was exactly what we needed! It's perfect for babies who aren't sitting up completely on their own but who are ready to move past lying on their back on a play mat. I can set her in it and she literally just hangs out, happy as a clam and I don't worry about her tipping over and bonking her head. Within a week it improved her 'sitting skills'. I don't understand what the other reviewer found hard about the assembly of this product. There are two pieces; the inner tube and the cover. You slide the empty inner tube into the cover and then you blow it up. Couldn't be easier.

I received an Amazon gift card for Christmas, and after browsing through the large array of baby items that are offered here.. I came across this little gem. It was on-sale at the time for only $19.99, and I decided to try it out. My little bean is almost 8 months old. He's curious. He's crawling. He's extremely active. And I was very interested to see how he'd respond to what basically boils down to a fabric-covered inner-tube.

WELL.

It is, without a doubt, one of the best purchases I've made for him thus far. He absolutely adores drinking his bottle in it (he lays on his back cushioned by the donut). He loves trying to get out of it. It gives him great exercise, because he pushes with his arms on the "pillowed" surface. Even when he does finally manage to work himself out, it's low enough to the ground that it isn't a danger to him. He literally will stay occupied and happy for nearly an hour in the thing!
