    hi csh
    i use this for Kian... http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3764408/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CNursery%7C14417537/Trail/searchtext%3EROCKER.htm

    got this as it will do uptil 3yrs if we need to use it for that long :D

    so far he can rock himself as far forward as possible but hasnt been able to topple it over as the rocker, stops itself. he can rock himself in it as well. better than a bouncer which would easily topple over now with him.
    he's at the sitting up and rocking himself on the sofa (literally bangs himself back and forth on the couch). this is in the sitting eroom and the l&g is in the kitchen
    or there's the learn and groove, although he can throw himself around in that so it lifts up and one side. we need to heighten the seat again to stop him.

    once he's crawling it will be the travelcot/playpen although i do the like the idea of a paddling pool but once he's crawling that will be not much use. the only concern i have is the kitchen as the litter tray is there so need to think of a way of stopping him getting to that but not so the cat cant use it. cat is very much a house cat, so getting him to go outside to use toilet is a no-go

    DH took the boys down to the shop (walk down, bus back or Chris needs to be carried) and then decided to take them to the big park which is down that way and Amber is in bed. I've just had a :coffee: and am now just enjoying the peace and quiet! Bliss!

    I expanded my serch on Netmums and looked in the 'other direction' lol and found a L&G 5 miles away for £30. I had fully intended on haggling the price down when I got there but the girl was selling cos her wee girl, 8 mths, has had meningitis and has delayed development and visual impairment because of it :( Anyway her baby dosn't like it and the noise scares her and will only go in her jumparoo.
    Soooo, long story short K has a L&G, brilliant condition for £30!!

    Just returned from a crappy trip to Asda. H fell asleep in the car so I had to wake her about 2 mins later when we arrived. Put her in the baby seat trolley which was really manky and scabby. Usually go to a new Tesco and the trolleys are decent and clean, but the Asda ones were filthy and ancient and there were only 3 of them. It was a nightmare to control too. H kept trying to eat the harness which was absolutely minging so I kept having to take it out of her mouth. Toys were not a good enough distraction! Then she started crying because I wouldn’t let her chew it, so I lifted her out, but couldn’t control the stupid trolley whilst carrying her!
    So I tried her in the toddler seat part of the trolley which was ok except because this trolley still had the baby seat, she kept banging her head off that. And she was leaning forward with her mouth round the metal bar of the trolley!! I eventually abandoned the shop as it was getting too stressful and was taking about 20 mins to get up one aisle.
    As I had only bought a few items I just went to the self scan tills. I lifted out my little bag with my garlic bulb in it which is the 1 thing I needed for dinner, and it went flying out and across the floor under some other tills. This resulted in me trying to get the attention of an assistant to hunt for the garlic as I didn’t want to leave Holly in the trolley and my bag. Meanwhile a queue was forming.

    That was my worst shop ever.
    :(
