    The rings are great as i had one for my 2 lil ones but like all the others say cushions are just as good storing it was a nightmare and the activity gym kept falling off all the time it drove me nuts !!

    Unless you can get a cheap ring or bumbo from a car boot, ebay etc, I would go with what all the other ladies are saying and just use cushions also. They really aren't in this stage for long.

    Cushions, when he doesnt need support anymore you can just use them as cushions or for games.
