Chicco have asked us to find 21 Mumsnetters to try out a selection of toys from their range with their little ones. Chicco say "Making a baby smile is the most extraordinary job ever. Everything we design has a single purpose; to enter a home, meet a baby and make him happy. Our range of toys is designed exactly with that purpose as well as assisting the babies at each stage of their growth providing them with the most suitable form of stimuli to help their development.

We work very closely with Osservatorio Chicco, our Baby Research Centre dedicated to growing our knowledge of children from 0 to 3 years of age and their psycho-physical, emotional and social needs, in constant collaboration with the medical-scientific world".

We have a variety of toys available for testing - please read the following and pick the one you'd like to try out. We have three of each of the below toys available.

~ Rainbow Cube projector "New concept projector with different images and individual colours or multi-colour changing effect that creates a colour- therapy atmosphere at bedtime with 3 types of melodies to help your baby sleep peacefully. Available in pink and blue" Age Suitability: 0m+. RRP £29.99. See the projector in pink here and in blue here

If selected you will be sent the toy to try with your child and then asked to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet (we'd like testers to add first impressions and their thoughts after a further week or so) and also to add a review to the relevant section of the MN review area. You will be able to keep the toy.

Everyone who takes part and adds feedback as required would be entered into a prize draw where one winner will get £100 of Chicco products  they would be sent a catalogue and can choose the products they would like.

Completed the form.

If Chicco are looking at this thread though I would like to point out that it would be nice to see things like the rainbow cube in colours other than pink or blue.

But congratulations on having a kitchen that isn't pink and a tool bench that isn't blue!

Filled it in. I don't get the relevance of asking the gender of the child, though.

SirBoobAlot - it's just so we get a good mix of testers rather than all boys or all girls.
