Pikler triangle / wobbel board / soft play set

[dumpling123]

Baby's first birthday is approaching and I'd like to get home something that he'll get good use out of as he moves about more.
Would love some reviews and advice from people who've bought pikler triangles, wobbel boards or soft plays sets. They all look great but which would one you prioritise for most use?

We got DS (22 months now) a wobbel board during lockdown, he walked at 8 months so I was desperate for ways to occupy him, but he didn't really click with it until he was about one and a half. However, these days he will haul it out and wobble on it, lie in it, use it for his cars and generally abuse the poor object, so it's definitely been worth having for us.

We bought a Pikler triangle and ramp/slide earlier this year. We haven’t used it quite as much as I thought we might but our one year old does like it and our 5 year old is keen too. It’s definitely got longevity.

I personally wouldn’t bother with a soft play set as I suspect it would take up a lot more room.

We have a soft play set and my kids love it. They are 3 and 1. Yes it does take up a lot of room but gets used daily. They love the steps and slide and then often use it to make dens and things. My oldest also curls up on it when tired to have a little rest.

We have a pickler triangle, board and a soft play. Soft play takes up a lot of space. However my 1 year old can use it fine.
The pickler triangle is used mostly by my toddler and older children as my 1 year old hasn't got the confidence to go past the climbing part yet.
Our board however is loved by all.
The board and triangle are much easier to store and tidy up then soft play.

We have a pikler triangle and a wobbel board. Wobbel board is hardly used, pikler triangle a bit more but neither has been worth the money, but obviously all children are different.

Pikler triangles are great but probably not for a 1 year old, I got my boys one when they were 2.

Wobble board hasn’t got much love here

We had the triangle and a Little Tikes cube slide at toddler group and the Little Tikes one got far more use.

I got one for my daughter's 1st birthday from market place for £20 but they're only about £100 new and it was used until she was 5 - it was a slide, a den, a climbing frame, a castle etc etc! Well worth the money :)
