Just kicking it

After hours on end of cuddling or wearing a newborn, every parent needs a safe and cosy place to dump their dumpling so they can have a break. A bouncy chair/rocker is an essential item in those first few months, and we're especially loving the Kicking Coaster from The First Years.

This interactive baby seat is the first of its kind as it gets baby to do the work by pounding the kick plate at the base to create a natural, gliding motion. It's not only great for an infant's motor skills but it means your little one can actually rock herself to sleep after all that activity. The chair also features music, lights and vibrations, cheery toys and a removable teether rattle. Suitable from birth to 25lbs, the Kicking Coaster can be bought via the Learning Curve web site.
