Can you still get cot activity centres?

DD is 10 months old, and starting to move around, so I sometimes need to pen her in by putting her in her cot (e.g. So I can have a shower). She gets bored quickly, though.

When I was that age (1970s), I had an activity centre attached to the bars of the cot, which my mum says I played with for hours (probably a slight exaggeration). It had buttons to press, things to pull, a mirror, and other stuff like that.

I've been looking for something similar, but can't really find anything- the ones I've seen don't have as many bits and pieces. They maybe have just a mirror and a rattle and that's it.

I know they maybe don't attach to the cot these days, but has anyone seen anything similar that I could put in for her to play with?

I just have a few toys by the cot i put in when I cage him and take out after. A rattley ball and some soft books and a v tech noisy toy with shapes to bash.

They make them for pushchairs, that might work to attach to a cot

Thought cots were for sleeping in?

I bought a 70's era one for DD from eBay.

My children both had these, they're 13 and 9 now so not that old! A quick Google has shown that V Tech do an elephant shaped one. Not sure if that's what you're looking for?
