Tested by Silver Trees Nursery, Toton, Notts

Designed to encourage babies to crawl, this toy features five animal noises. When the baby reaches the last animal the mat plays Old MacDonald Had a Farm and the sun lights up. The mat measures 152 x 46cm. It comes packed in a PVC carry bag. For babies from six months.

Tester's report

We were very impressed with this and used it daily. All our babies absolutely loved it and it scores full marks for play value. It's also easy to wipe down and is very safe, but we found it slipped a bit on a carpeted surface.
