It took us quite a while to get the ring inflated and then after about 10 minutes it started to deflate. We had to take it all out and then find the hole and repair it then hope for the best. It's very bulky and takes up alot of room but she enjoys it - Strengths:

Our little boy absolutely loved his play ring! We had from a few weeks so used it partially inflated for him to lay in, ours came with the play arch attachment which fascinated him. As he got older we inflated the ring more to help him with sitting, he was very keen to sit from an early age so this was great to support him. As it’s just inflatable ring inside a cover it’s completely portable, we took ours to visit family & friends and even packed it in the suitcase to take on holiday. This was definitely one of our best buys. - Strengths:

Initially we put my little girl in this at 4 months when she had started to sit up, the shape was really good to help her to learn and sit up unaided. We did use blankets to start with but as she got bigger the ring supported her. She has started exploring the sensory parts on the ring but I think there could have been more activities around the ring to entertain my little girl. Overall it’s a great aid for supporting her to sit up and we have had lots of use out of it. - Strengths:

My mom got this my little girl and when she was little she loved it. It was a safe place for her to start sitting up but also if she fell over she was safe, not to big to store away and good for taking on holidays - Strengths:

My little one loved this from a young age as it helped him sit and look around as he played. He loved feeling all the bits around the ring. Ended up being a pretty good toy, storage when cleaning up at night . - Strengths:

Bought this product to help my son with sitting up and also providing a safe and contained place for him to play while he was learning to sit. This worked so well and baby was able to sit up himself unaided quickly and although he doesn't need this nest for support anymore he still enjoys playing with his toys in it and I know he is safe and won't hurt himself. - Strengths:

I love this product and so does my little boy! It is so bright and colourful he is attracted to the pictures around the outside. I have used this product for tummy time and to support my baby whilst sitting to read him a story, sing to him and play with him. It has helped him to sit up unaided before 6 months old! I would highly recommend this. I found it is a little bit of a pain to wash as you have to let the product down to take the material off and then put it back on before blowing it back up. - Strengths:

My son often uses this when we are at my sisters house. Its handy to sit him in, as it's so padded all the way around that if we was to fall (almost sitting stage) he can't hurt himself. It's also been good to use for tummy time.
My niece (who is 3) also loves playing with this too; jumping in it and putting it on her head.
Overall a great product to keep not only the babies entertained, but also the pre-school aged children. - Strengths:

I bought this for my 12 week old son who loves it! He’s been enjoying exploring the different activities. I’d definitely recommend but he can get a bit frustrated by the restrictions in movement as he’s a very lively baby and can’t yet sit.

I purchased this after seeing how much a friend’s baby liked it and how content he was when sitting in it. It is quite expensive at £30 but my baby seems to really enjoy being in it and touching all the different textures. Some added music or attachable toys would be a good improvement as it is very simple for the price you pay.

This is a great product and gives peace of mind whilst your baby is sitting that they will not fall back and injure themselves. It is very light and portable so you can easily move it from room to room unlike jumperoos etc. The only thing I would possibly add is something a bit more interactive like music? - Strengths:

I bought the play nest for my second child as I needed a safe play space which clearly marked a boundary for my eldest child. My youngest was at the stage of being able to sit up but would sometimes fall backwards or to the side so this really helped reassure me that he'd be ok if I was unable to run to him in time to break his fall. I liked that the ring was padded at the bottom and this allowed me to add a few toys to keep his interest. That said, he was particularly fond of the crinkly textures and always had a smile if I squeaked the ducks beak. Loved the bright colours and the general farm scene. Ideally, I'd have liked if there were a few loops on the nest that would allow me to attach some of my own toys as often my toys would slide down into the bottom of the play nest and my son would not see these easily. I also felt that the fabric could, perhaps, be a little bit thicker so that the inflatable ring was a bit more protected from punctures (unfortunately we got a small hole but repaired with glue). Although we only needed this for a few months, it was well worth the money and had the added bonus of being space saving when deflated.

Our little one received this as a gift and does enjoy sitting in it. The colours and textures keep her interested for quite a while. It is quite large once inflated so takes up quite a bit of room, otherwise you would have to deflate between uses and reinflate each time you wanted to use it. - Strengths:

I loves this play nest. It could go anywhere easily, on my bed, on the floor or in the garden and because it was so light i could just pick it up easily and move it wherever I wanted. It had crinkly bits on it to keep baby entertained and lots of bright colours. It was comfortable for baby and he would often go to sleep in there after playing. I liked that you could unzip the cover to wash it easily. The price was really reasonable also. I don't have anything negative to say about it.

My daughter loved to go in this ring, she loved all the colours of the play ring. It helped her to sit up and my mind was at ease when she was sat it in knowing that she wouldn’t hurt herself. She liked to sit in the ring and play with small toys, that way they were right in front of her. It is a great product, easy to use, clean and store! - Strengths:

Had one of these for my son and he'd spend ages happily in there playing with his toys. It was a great support for him to learn to sit up in, very soft as it's inflatable. I knew I could pop him in there while I made a drink or toilet break and he'd be safe and secure. Only downside is, the part where baby sits could be bigger but overall, it was great!

It’s a very handy product. Nice and comfy for baby and has lots of little fiddly sensory farm related bits round the sides. Ours punctured but Galt instantly sent us out a replacement tube. I found that the threads in the bottom pulled easily and the major issue I had is when my son was big enough he flipped himself out of this and gave himself self quite a bump. Problem is, how do you work out when to stop using it?! I was supervising him when it happened but it was all very quick! I suppose if you surrounded it with cushions it’d be ok but that sort of defeats the purpose!
It’s quite bulky too.. Alrhough lightweight so easy to pop out of the way on top of something! - Strengths:

Our little one loved this product when we first got it. Its bright and colourful and looked comfortable for him to lounge around in. He took great interest in all the items attached around the ring and would spend some time focusong on these.
It did take a bit of puffing to get blown up but once it was inflated was pretty sturdy although storing it was a bit of a pain!
The ring bought mummy some time to run around and get organised knowing baby was safe and entertained for a little while!
Unfortunately as soon as our little one was on the move it was no longer any use as he clambered over the sides to get out!too interested in other things around the house!but reasonably priced and well loved while it served its purpose! - Strengths:

This product was colourful but unfortunately you have to blow the item up yourself and there isn't much entertainment on the item.
There is also no support and my baby struggled to sit up in it.
Easily removable outer sleeve for washing.
