Time to get positive and look forward to having a wee munchy 5.5month old in the house :)

Not got much in the way of baby stuff really, so any recommendations for toys?
Also in need of a baby chair so any good ones of those, don't mind paying a bit more for that for a lasting quality babychair.

I loved the Mamas and Papas Vibrating chair, they play music, vibrate and have a toybar as well. Think it cost me £40 but that was about 5 years ago and its still going strong.

Not sure if they still do them as alot of places are into the swings

A baby ring is great. Even when they can sit they stilll sit in it and play with toys. Mine has a rubbber ring in it so you cna deflate it and put it away.

I have the fisherprice auquarium baby swing - fab if needing to keep baby entertained whilst seeing to mindee's or say pre-pairing lunch.

Also get a really good highchair that has the recline position, that way baby will be able to sit comfortably while feeding & also has somewhere to sit when doing activities at the table.

Those nests are good when baby is learning to sit unaided, elc do a nice one

A nice toy that my baby loved is the elc blossom farm water mat, can sit & squish the animals or lay down & squish, great fun! & of course anything loud haha!

i like swings for young babies but both mine would rather be rolling on the floor by 5 months so might not be worth you getting one,

we have a fisher price infant to toddler rocker which ive had since jack was born and hes nearly 3 1/2 now and he still sits in it to look at books, i might get another one for jessica(16 months) cos they fight over who sits in it lol

my 2 didnt like the play nest things but loved the pat mat that katickles mentioned

toys wise anything noisy or that moved was a big hit at that age

Just thought, my SIL has a baby einstein chair that take sthe child upto 4 years - maybe worth checking out?

thank you for the ideas, love the sound of the watermat so will deffo look for one of those in the first instance. Am covered with highchair and have a Cotoons baby nest thing (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cotoons-Baby-Cocoon_W0QQitemZ320294801379QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em320294801379&_trkparms=72%3A1121%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C 240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)
