i didn't see it, but i want one! they are cute

Hmmm, I can't get the site to work properly. Does it say how much they are? From what I have been able to see on the site, I am kind of thinking "give the kid a bucket to play with"

Marina · 14/07/2006 10:18

They are 14.99, which I was surprised at. The way it is being hyped I expected to hear it was £50 tbh.
At that price I might buy one for dd...same cost as a load of Dora dreck.

Can't sit in a bucket and spin round though...

It did look good.

misdee · 14/07/2006 10:20

is that all? [adds to dd2 birthday list]

flowertot · 14/07/2006 10:25

I thought it was the ball in a ball thing. Didn't see the point but when I saw the spinny around thing - looks great. Ordering now.......

lanismum · 14/07/2006 10:27

i dont like it, looks like another thing for me to trip over, and dd would probably wee in it!

JanH · 14/07/2006 10:29

I love the video

JackieNo · 14/07/2006 10:30

The spinny round thing's been around for a while, I'm sure I've seen it in the Mini Marvellous catalogue - looks great.

WestCountryLass · 14/07/2006 21:24

I like the look of that, not sure I would buy it for home but I am sure kids would have a load of fun on it at pre-school/gym environment.

charliecat · 14/07/2006 21:38

on ebay already !

lanismum · 14/07/2006 22:37

hhmmm it was on richard and judy earlier, i think i like it now....., must hide credit card, must hide credit card...

curtaintwitcher · 14/07/2006 22:48

curtaintwitcher · 14/07/2006 22:50

oh just watched the video and think ds would love it...will have to wait.

lanismum · 14/07/2006 22:50

PinkTulips · 14/07/2006 22:53

it was on richard and judy. they kid tested it against a cardboard box and all the kids prefered the box!

lanismum · 14/07/2006 22:53

the more i see it i do think dd would like it, might get her 1, but it looks quite bulky, dont really have the room........

curtaintwitcher · 14/07/2006 22:54

ohhh so do I buy one or not!!!! Am so tempted and just showed dh who said it looked quite cool

curtaintwitcher · 14/07/2006 22:55

really pinktulips...

lanismum · 14/07/2006 22:56

those kids were older though, i think younger ones would get more out of it?

curtaintwitcher · 14/07/2006 22:56

ds is 2.9yrs and also have 7mth old and another on way so would be used for a while I think...like idea of being able to take it in snow etc

satine · 14/07/2006 23:01

Yet another bit of plastic and one which looks like even more of a nightmare to find space for than normal! Give 'em a big box, I reckon they'll have just as much fun.
