What the testers said: “The product is covered in numbers, letters and pictures, which is brilliant for the child’s learning. There are also lots of sounds available, to keep the children entertained. The only criticism would be that the instructions were unclear, but we would highly recommend it. The children loved trying to pull themselves up and walk with it.”

What the testers said: “A soft, play sleeping bag, with a decorated colourful cushion that can be used to support both babies and toddlers. The babies were eager to explore the colouring ribbons. It is portable, very easy to carry, durable, soft and a unique circular shape. A great way to make nap time easy for adults and enjoyable for babies.”
What the testers said: “Older children over 18 months got more out of this toy, as they enjoyed its problem-solving aspects, using trial and error methods. It was too difficult for younger babies. Tucky helps develop manipulation skills and spacial awareness. The product is very easy to clean and was easily stored.”
