Advantages: safe, nice, easy to use Disadvantages: may be pulled up!
Bath time is fun time for babies! They love to play with their toys and splash around but there's always that element of worry knowing that your baby is playing in water and that the bath is very slippy so you do need to keep your baby as safe as possible.
The usual bath mats work really well but they are really plain and boring looking and, from what I remember when we ewre younger, they used to go mouldy very quickly especially the white ones!
I saw these Clippasafe mini bath mats and thought they looked so much nicer and decided to give them a go and see if they would work okay for us and if they would be fun for our baby too!
The bath mats come in packets of 6 and they are mini which means you do need to use them all so that they are actually useful else they're just not worth it!
They stick onto the bath easily and they ...
Advantages: You know where they are at all times! Disadvantages: Some babies may not like it.
When our first daughter was coming up to nine months old, she showed signs of wanting to pull herself up and try to walk, so we invested in this 'Walkaround Exerciser' from Mothercare.
We were looking for a 'baby walker' really, but chose this one because it was more like an activity table, and would probably last her a lot longer. Even when she was too big to fit in the seat in the middle of the table, she could still play with the various activities on the top.
She absolutely loved it from day one. The table itself has a central rotating seat that they sit in and can swivel around to reach the toys on the table top. It also has two lockable wheels, and one rotating heavy weighted leg - thus allowing the table, when wheels unlocked, to be rotated around without moving all around the room, it just pivoted around the weighted leg ...
Advantages: None Disadvantages: You could quite easily end up in traction!!!!! Awful, disasterous etc etc
the fact that not only is your back arcing but also the muscles around the spine are contracting under huge stress to try and stabilise the body, then you have a potential disaster on your hands. Even worse, if you find yourself in this position, you have two options. One take a face plant into the mat, or two try and recover your starting position which means even more stress on your back muscles. This is ludicrous and even the most experienced exercisers found this to be a problem. Why run the risk of serious injury when you can do other exercises that will do the same/an even better job!!!!!
In reality you could never use this equipment unless you had a trainer with you to a) check your body position at all times b) save you when the time comes (and it will). The machine is frighteningly dangerous.
