What kicking activated toy shall I buy for 5month old DD or is she too old?

DD absolutely loves kicking her feet on the bars of her cot. So I was thinking about buying her some kind of kicking activated toy but wondering if 5months is a bit old for it. (she is rolling over and wriggling her bum trying to get places) so I don't want to spend ££ on something that won't be useful for longer than a month!

Any suggestions/recommendations?.

I'd go for something kick activated that she could activate by hand when she sits up move around etc. Not sure of any specific products but that would be my advice.

What about a door bouncer/ jump a roo so she could kick off the floor iyswim.

No ideas for the cot but how about this for the car?

My little guy loves to kick so I got him a kick pad for the car. It has a mirror so I can see him from the front. He starts kicking as soon as he gets in the car. Unfortunately aiming the mirror at his face is fiddly but I just adjust it each time we go somewhere - www.amazon.co.uk/Tiny-Love-Frog-Kick-Mirror/dp/B000E873YY

That product looks fab. I'd get one only I have a car mirror already.
My 5 mo dd is the same - never stops kicking, and she's strong! We have a door bouncer and a activity centre so she can bounce off the floor to her hearts content now.

We bought this for DD when she was younger. It goes on the cot and she loved Kicking away and making music.

When DD was older she enjoyed playing with it with her hands too. Shes 2 next week and still enjoys "making Music"!
