Happy Safari Play arena - worth the money??

[carlen222]

hi all, i am going to be taking on 4 12 month (ish) kids - not all at same time lol

and i came across this on the mothercare web site

now i would never pay £65 for it but have found ones for half the price on ebay :jump for joy: does anyone know if its worth the money?? cheers xx

Looks good, but no idea if it is worth the money, i guess if you can get one for half the price on ebay, you could use it for a while to see and then sell it on if you didn't like it.

phone your local toy library , they may have it - that way you can try before you buy!

That looks really good.

I've been looking at these too on ebay was thinking about getting one but not sure as it is an inflatable and wasn't sure how long would last. Anyone got one who can let me know?

I have one of these..
It is quite big but can be used inside and out.
I will definately be getting it out again once I start minding..
my dd liked it when I had it out but that was in the house and it really fills the room.
I have bought a pump for other things in the meantime and I am glad that I have it as blowing it up yourself is a bit hard...
seems quite sturdy though and the ballpit is always good...

some of the blow up bits have animals and stuff in them and they rattle...

I think it is a bit pricey but I got it anyway as I am mad.
