The toy a baby physio recommends (and parents love it, too)
The range of toys available for a baby is endless and overwhelming. What if, after spending all that money, your little one doesn’t like the toys you have chosen?
That’s where Nicole Pates, a paediatric physiotherapist, comes in. Her Instagram page @nicole_kidsphysio is full of activities and toys she recommends for parents to support their child’s development.
One toy that has received a lot of attention on her Instagram page is an activity play table. While the exact table hasn’t been mentioned, the one featured in the video is the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Around the Town Learning Table.
“I love activity tables”
“I’m Nicole 👋 I am a baby physio passionate about play and quality toys!” She says in the post.
“I love activity tables as they grow with your bub.”
If you think your baby is too little for an activity table, you’ll be pleasantly surprised – Nicole explains that you can start using them in supported tummy time from about 3-4 months.
“The legs come off so it can go right to the floor encouraging bub to push up and reach. You can use it with 2 legs on an angle – great for sitters who tend to fall back. And of course for those bubs learning to pull to stand and stand with no hands 🙌 this is a winner.
“Fantastic toy”
Parents in the Tell Me Baby community who have reviewed this toy also love the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Around the Town Learning Table – at the time of writing, it has a 4.5-star rating.
“Fantastic toy,” said one reviewer. “Bought when my first was around 8 months as you don’t have to put the legs on it at first.
“Has 3 settings so gives a variety of options when playing so you don’t get sick of the sound so easily.”
Another parent raved about this toy saying it helped when her son started walking.
“This has helped my son walk,” she said. “We have a walker but he got really upset when trying to use it as it would go too fast for him, this is perfect, it’s a great height and he just slides along at his own pace. It has lots of different activities which have also taught him many little things. I honestly think this is the most fantastic toy we currently own!”
