Mothercare's 'Walkaround Exerciser'

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 ...

Review of Mothercare Walkaround Exerciser

A Wheelie bad idea!!!!!! Golds Gym Exercise wheel

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: You could quite easily end up in traction!!!!! Awful, disasterous etc etc

Now this piece of kit is right up there with the most pointless, cheap, nasty and in my opinion dangerous pieces of equipment on the market. I almost laughed out loud when I first came across this and perhaps offers proof that some people will buy THE most pointless pieces of equipment known to man in the pursuit of physical perfection. My first thought was not that it was a piece of exercise equipment but rather a toy emulating the ?Wheelies? from Return to OZ. I was wrong WHAT IS IT? You can?t really dress this piece of equipment up, it?s a plastic rod which has been put through a wheel. That?s it. You hold each side of the wheel and roll backwards and forwards and this action apparently works out the abdominal muscles. Essentially you become a wheelbarrow. Apologies for the crude analogy but that really is all there is too ...

Review of Golds Gym Exercise Wheel

The fun way to exercise!

Advantages: good variety of games, fun for various age groups
Disadvantages: expensive, some games require quite a bit of space

not that bad! The game has four different sections- Yoga, Balance, Aerobic Exercises and Muscle Stretches. In the yoga section there are various yoga moves you can do which focus on your balance with new positions being unlocked the more you use it. After you have completed each section you are rated on how you done. The balance section (my favorite part of the game!) has lots of mini games including skiing, ski jumping and tightrope walking. You are rated after each game with your scores recorded on the leader board. Within the Aerobic section there are games which include gyrating your hips as if you are playing with a hula hoop and is surprisingly tiring as well as a game that involves you jogging on the spot while you watch your Mii run round a circuit! The final section (and my least favorite) is the muscle stretches ...
