Like Droile's children, our ds spent not a lot of time in it as a baby but is still using it as a "pirate coracle" at 4.5. Came in to the sitting room tonight to find dd, 5.5 months, desperately pushing off backwards in an attempt to escape from it. I still like the idea of it IYSWIM, and the hanging cloth toys that came with the baby gym part (bird, ladybird, sun) have been adored by both children.
