Product Information

My nine-month-old son has always been a pushchair/sling/baby carrier refuser, and last month someone recommended I buy him a trike, which I did and he absolutely loves it. It has literally changed my life in that I can leave the house and go for a walk for longer than 10 minutes without him having a meltdown.” (Type of toy recommended by Mumsnet user ReySky) Our verdict

These eggs are just so amazing! They were given to my son as a gift when he was a baby over 10 years ago and he just loved them - putting them in and out of the box, taking the lids on and off and of course, squeaking the eggs themselves. Now my daughter has these and she loves them too! They’re great for sensory learning, putting in their mouths for exploring and for finer motor skills.'The Toomies Hide and Squeak Eggs are a hit with babies and toddlers and are highly recommended by Mumsnet parents.
