Galt Playnest Farm

My 4 month old grandson loves this! It props him up just enough that it allows him to be part of whatever is going on. Very good quality. A bit pricey but super functional and easy to use, so it’s worth it. Keeps the baby happy and entertained. The size allows it to travel well, if need be.

By far one of our favorite purchases. It's hard to know what will and won't work as first time parents, but this one is a no brainer. Our now 7month old has used it since he was a newborn. It has provided a safe place to explore and flop. He has incredible core strength and starting to explore standing in it. I can let him be knowing there is cushion to catch him all around.

I really love this! Got this for my 4 month old for Christmas as she does not really like the Bumbo or the Sit me up and I felt like this would last longer because she can use it to keep her occupied when she is fully sitting up. It's kind of like an elevated play mat or the next step in play mats in my opinion. It's essentially an innertube with a removable cover. The cover is washable and has crinkle paper, raised items for sensory exploration (e.g., pig's nose, horses tail), and is very fun and colorful for little one. The edges of the inner ring are kind of lipped so they help suppose her at this age where she is not able to sit up on her on. And I love it at this age because when she is tired of "sitting", she just slides down into a laying position rather than slumping over like in the Bumbo or sit me up. It's also good for when she wants to lay on tummy because she has lots of things to look at and play with. For me though the biggest bonus was that it keeps her contained and safe when she gets a little bigger and now from her 3-year-old brother who can sit outside the ring and play with her. When she was laying on the play mat, I was always terrified he was going to step on her! The material is also heavy enough that it doesn't flip over or anything when you lean on the side, even when my 3-yr-old does it. It's easy to store, I just prop it up against the wall, and if you wanted to store it long term, you can just deflate it and pack it up. Overall, great purchase, and I am very pleased with it. Here is a picture of my little one with it at Christmas. She had just turned 4 months.

Okay, I think is product is great. It’s colorful, and has little elements that are great for sensory.Only thing is, it’s pretty big - so it takes up so much shape on my bed. And secondly, my little baby (4 months) just topples over.I think the opening for the baby is so big that he can’t just play and be held up by this toy, he topples forward or if I lay him down he can’t play.So because of this, I wouldn’t get it if your baby is probably younger than 5 months.

Simple but effective. Baby quickly learned how to sit upright on his own and I credit this product for helping to build that core strength. Obviously only use with supervision.

This product is pretty large so expect it to take up space. The hole in the middle is also pretty big and is not suitable for 0-3 months as a smaller baby can sink down and get stuck in a dangerous position. The “toys” are not all that interesting, but I like using this for tummy time and surrounding it with other toys, especially ones with suction cups. Overall, it’s cute and I do use it a lot to play with baby on the floor, but it’s not worth nearly $60 by any means. Honestly you could get a pool float tube and attach toys to the handles and get the same experience. Interestingly enough, my toddler likes to curl up in it and watch tv with a blanket so it’s fun for that age group too!

The media could not be loaded. I regretted buying it as soon as I opened it, but decided to give it a shot anyways. It seemed overpriced for what I got (it's a good sized tube though, I'd say similar to what you go tubing with in the snow). But once I put my baby in there, she's been absolutely loving it. She doesn't sit for long unassisted so this not only gives her a safe space to fall over, but also is perfect for her to roll around in and go on her belly and on her back. If she's not tired, she can play in it for 20-45 minutes at a time.I attached a very sped up video of her playing in it for 20 minutes so you can see what babies can do in it. This is her not too active too.

I actually purchased this before my son was born but didn't start using it until he was a few months old. I actually forgot that I had it, unfortunately. But I was super excited once I found it. It is easy to inflate and not as terrible as I thought it would be to get the inflatable tube part into the cover. I mean, it wasn't like great fun - but it wasn't the worst.When my son was around 4 months old we put him in there and let him just lounge because his head was supported.. You can increase the level of inflation with the pump. At this age, I only inflated the tube partially so that it would be soft enough to cradle his head and neck. It was great to have a place to just lay him in so that I could do things around the house. At 6 months, I inflated it a bit more and used it as a tool to help teach him to sit up by himself, which is wasn't yet mastering. And now, at 11 months, he OBSESSIVELY climbs in and out of the tube and interacts with the fun little flaps and squeakers on the sides of the cover.I didn't think this was going to be so useful at this age but little dude really REALLY loves it. I am serious when I say that he will crawl in and out of it at least 50 times without getting tired. He gets a real kick out of it. At this point it is fully inflated and supportive. I love this because there aren't too many toys that can keep my son's attention for more than a few minutes but he really wears himself out with this thing. We use it now primarily before bed time so that he can get nice and tired from doing his laps in and out of it.It's easy to clean and easy to inflate and deflate if you need to. It's a toy that can be used for a LONG time so I have absolutely no qualms with the price. I would recommend this to any new parent in a heartbeat.PS (My bunny is pretty fond of it too. I might have to get this rabbit her own, lol!)
