This is a really attractive product. It's bright and the range of textures make it interesting and appealing for the babies. We purchased this as our baby constantly wanted to sit up, and wouldn't play on his playmat anymore. The ring is supportive and provides a safe space to play for babies just learning to sit up independently. The fabric seems good quality and robust, and the baby seems really comfy too. We usually keep the playnest blown up in the living room as it is used so frequently, but it does take up a lot of space. It was easy to inflate and would be easy to transport if this was needed. I would recommend this product and feel that it is good value for money. - Strengths:

After a few days, the air started to come out leaving it to go down. Very awkward to keep blowing up! Good place to put baby whilst they’re playing with their toys as there’s space. - Strengths:

This was one of the best things we bought. We jokingly called it the ring of neglect - basically it meant it kept by son happily entertained so I could drink a cup of coffee. Which we know is Golden. Great for babies who are nearly sitting and who are sitting. My son loved having his toys around his legs where he could reach them without them rolling away. The inflatable sides make it nice and soft when babies flop over. Also lots of fun things to play with on the ring itself. Once my son could actively get himself up onto the side on the ring on his front we found he could flip the whole thing up. So you need to sit close to babies using this. Photo is of it deflated as my son is too large for it now.

Bought this for going on holiday as something Baby could sit in and play with toys and allow adults to enjoy holiday too! This did exactly that, providing a safe place for him to play and join in with us adults on the holiday. Easy to inflate and deflate and it folds up small to travel easily.

This ring is a family favourite.it has been used by myself as a baby and now I have one for my daughter.it is a great alternative to the new style sit me ups.the ring itself is a little annoying to blow up specially if you do not have room to keep it inflated.the cover is easy to remove and stick it in the washing machine.the cover has a lovley farm animal theme.and has different sensory items like flaps to lift,squeaky noses and crinkle noises to keep baby entertained.i also like to use this ring as a aid for tummy time.its a great item with many uses. - Strengths:

My baby loves this as can put all his toys around him and great to help with sitting up.
Easy to store as it’s inflatable but does tale some room up in the lounge.
Used it in the garden in the shade which is handy.
Is a bit expensive but I will use it for other children. - Strengths:

My toddler has had this from a very young age, she loves it still. It looks as new as the day i bought it, washes well and hasnt deflated. Colours made her curious to look at when she was young and it animals on hers made her move around more. She just lies in it now when she's feeling a bit tired. - Strengths:

I bought these for both my children - they are a little expensive but ideal to put them in to encourage sitting up and somewhere different for them. Due to the big ring around the child it is very safe obviously if the child isn’t crawling yet. It can only be used for a short period of time whilst the little one is learning to sit on thier own. The ring is inflatable so it’s easy to store when not bring used anymore although it takes up quite a bit of space when it’s inflated. I put a couple of toys in with my child when they were sitting in it to play with. - Strengths:

I originally bought this for my little boy when he couldn’t sit up so this could aid him a little bit. Firstly, it took a while to blow up but that wasn’t really a problem for my kind of healthy lungs. After that for a few weeks i loved just being able to put him in it with a few toys so he could sit an play in there without his toys going anywhere and watch tv. The nice thing to know was he couldn’t go anywhere.. however, if your baby falls because they’re not too great at sitting up yet then it won’t be a comfy landing.. as the middle is quite hard, I had to pad around him with blankets. Then just after a couple of weeks it got a puncture and get deflated! I didn’t have it for long! I just wish the quality was better! -

This product is great it very cosy and colourful, lots for baby to explore on it, the only downside I would say is having a big baby he’s a little cramped up at the minute, although I think when he can sit unaided he will still get plenty of use and enjoy being it it, it is made of good quality and very durable easy to wash. - Strengths:

This is great for after they start to roll or crawl for keeping them in one spot while you do something quick, it is quite large so unless you want to blow it up every time you use it, you just have to keep it out of the way rather than stored away. - Strengths:

I purchased the playnest second hand at a good price. I find it much better than some of the smaller “sit me ups” as it will last baby well into toddlerhood.
The colours are lovely and bright and the cover is washable. My babies feel very safe and secure in it and cannot tip the best over no matter how far they lie back.
The toy bars on the other hand I found a waste of time. They’re difficult to put and keep together and the toys attached are at an awkward angle/height for babies to actually be able to play. - Strengths:

It's a really good product to help babies learn to sit and play on their own, since it has air cushion all around there is no fear of baby tuppling over and bumping. -

Excellent for a baby who can partially sit up by themselves and keen to sit up and wants to see what is going on. Child stays contained in one location so no crawling away. - Strengths:

I used this play nest for my little girl when she was learning to sit but did not have the strength to hold herself in a sitting position. The inflatable inner made it safe and comfortable for her to sit in without falling over. It was also very compact when deflated which was great for transporting when we were staying in a hotel for the weekend, I was able to inflate it and give our little girl a safe play environment in our room without taking up too much space in the car. I have recommended this product to many of my friends. - Strengths:
