While personal taste is always the deciding factor, consider the following tips before purchasing your baby gym: Comfort is key Look for non-toxic materials, says Lilley. 'Your little one will have their mouth on it after all!' she explains. 'Definitely think about how easily you can clean it too – popping one in the washing machine is great, but frankly the washing pile is huge when you have a newborn and then it still has to dry before you can use it again.' Storage Floor play: The best way for your little one to develop their skills is to get down on the floor with them! 'Baby gyms also allows space for the whole family or some friends to join them and for everyone to be comfortable on the floor together.' Baby gyms can be used from birth,' says Lilley. 'They are at their most useful from around three months to three years when so much of their time exploring and developing is on the floor and you want to protect them from those inevitable topples!'
