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

Size: 85 cm Diameter Age Suitability: 0 months+ RRP: £49.99

Quattro Sit 'n' Ride "A 4 in 1 toy that little ones will love thanks to the 4 different play modes that suit baby's growth right up to 3 years starting as a rocker, and eventually a Sit 'n' Ride from 18 months". Age Suitability: from 9 months - 3 years +. RRP: £69.99

It also has coloured headlamps that come on when the car is moving and a roaring engine. Stimulates cognitive skills, imagination, fantasy and creativity!" Age Suitability: 2+ years RRP £29.99

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.

P.S. Will you send my toddler by post or do I have to collect? And do I get to keep them when the trial is over?

filled in, thanks for the opportunity but agree with the dislike for blue/pink projector options. Wouldn't it be more stimulating to have other colours that they don't see as often. (even if we don't buy them pink/blue ILs every other person does)

Saggy, feel free to come pick up my toddler at any time. I'll even send some toys.

I'll take him back, though, after I've had about 3 days of sleep.

Ta ever so!
