erm....we were given a bumbnle ball that my sister(now 20!!!) had so not a clue but i have just started to let DS2 play with it and hes 7 months...prob around then i would hazard a guess

They're meant to be from 18 months I think, but I got one for DS when he was less than 12 months. I got his from Woolies I think.

That's really helpful,thanks.

Ds is only 5 months but I'm sure he would love a mini one.

Don't be surprised if your DS is terrified of it though -friend had one , I thought it was great but when I showed DD (not sure what age she was at the time) she freaked !
DS is like that at the moment with a spaceship toy hes got

Ds had a little plastic puppy that vibrated and barked. He was absolutely terrified. I thought it was just him, gave it to a friend and her ds hated it too!

It's a good job they're not too expensive to buy then.Perhaps I'll Ebay it if it scares him.

Hi Bubbaloo, Fisher Price do the dog and cat ones suitable from 6 months. I think you can get them in Tesco in Goodmayes for about £10.00 iirc.

starshaker · 30/10/2005 18:48

you can get them on ebay quite cheap

Ds has the mini one. It was from Gamleys.

Furball · 30/10/2005 20:58

I've got a mini one if anyone still wants one. You would have to cover postage which is about £1.

Our ds2 was given one for his first birthday - screamed his head off as soon as it got switched on, but a few months later on he loved it - then the batteries kept running down as it would wobble off into a corner of a room and get forgotten about.. Great toy though, and when ds2 kept trying to hide it we found it made very funny noises inside wardrobes etc
