I'm looking for some good quality, hard wearing Football nets for my 8 year old footie obsessed son. The size needs to be at least 12ft x 6ft

We have had cheap plastic ones before, buy they didn't last long, so don't mind paying a bit more if they will last

I like the look of these ones (mainly based on the reviews)

Hi all,

I am looking for

Loose Women in New York, (for as cheap as possible)
Anything Cat themed (for a cat mad step mum)
Anything car themed (for a car mad dad)
And something that is like a DS for my 2 year old son. My elder 2 kids have DSI's and my2 year old loves it but obviously he isn't old enough yet

Any suggestions much appreciated

Hi - re something for DS like a DS

My youngest was the same and we got her a leapfrog leapster which was great - she had a pen with it like the DS and loved it and the games are all learning based and aimed at younger kids.. there are games that grow with them too... Toysrus have a good selection of games and I reckon you could probably get them on Amazon too - DD who is now 7 still plays with hers but is getting a DS for Xmas - my other two play with it too

Here is a link to one - not necessary the cheapest but gives you an idea about what I am talking about - although it looks a good price to me - I paid over £50 for mine quite a few years ago


http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3491630/Trail/searchtext%3ELEAPSTER.htm

they also do a new one called an explorer - not sure of the difference as we had the one above

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9249422/Trail/searchtext%3ELEAPSTER.htm

Vtech do one too called a Vsmile have put a link to that one too - that is half price at the mo - we also have one of those - but we have more games for the leapster so that is the one that is played with more in our house

That's it the Leapster!!!! Thank you very much! Is it easy enough for a 2 year old?

Thanks for this - this one you have to lean to steer it. I am definately going to bear it in mind and read some reviews about it. It is the sort im after - if anyone can find any other mini micros Id be grateful:D

I would say so - espec if they have older siblings to help... my niece is 2 and she manages ok with it. Some of the games talk to you to tell you what to do which is great for a younger child who cant read. Might be worth reading a few reviews - to see which is better for a younger child.. either the Vsmile or the leapster.

We have 2 of the Micro Mini Scooters and they seem to be the same - you have to lean to steer them too.

Not sure if this is the same as the Argos one

http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=mini+micro+scooter&rlz=1R2ACAW_en&wrapid=tljp1290705669080014&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2724819002730950298&ei=A5vuTPa9HMy0hAe6nPGgDA&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=1&sqi=2&ved=0CCoQ8wIwAA#

but when you search google for mini micro scoother this one comes up along with two of the 'other' ones They have reviews on there too.

we had a v smile pocket thing and also the tv smile thing, both highly recommended and the games can be picked up on ebay very cheap too.. It's a really cool educational system. x
