Emma, at
three months, instantly took to the
Tippitoes Travel Activity
Mat – and first was
kicking and
grabbing at the
arch, then
reaching for the dangly
soft toys, then
scrunching at the very scrunchy
ear of the
elephant she was lying on . . .
For a
smallish mat, there’s a lot of
exploring to do and lots for
small fingers and
toes to discover. It’s a
good size for a
travel mat and has, in fact, become the
playmat she uses every day at
home, though her current obsession with
rolling (she’s now
four months old) means that she keeps ending up on the
carpet – but I don’t think there’s a
playmat big enough to
contend with this issue, I just need to vacuum!
The
Tippitoes Travel Activity Mat zips up
neatly and can easily be slung in the car for
visits and
holidays, and is
brilliantly machine washable. The only
enhancement I can think of would be a
mirror – but you can’t have everything.
I’d
definitely recommend this, especially if, like us, you’re
short of space and want something you can
instantly fold up and shove behind the sofa to
create the
illusion that your baby hasn’t entirely
taken over your world once she’s in bed . . .
