I got two fabric books for DS. He wasn't so interested in the Lamaze bug one (although I rate their toys - he loves them). He is mad for the Jellycat Avocado Book though!” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user, YawnyOwl Our verdict Attachment: Where does the pram toy attach? Is it a spiral that wraps around the bar? Does it fix over the top of the pram with the toys dangling down for baby to play with? Most pram toys are pretty easy to attach, but if you want to prevent baby from pulling it off when they get a bit older and stronger, go for something that attaches securely and can’t be easily tugged off. Whether they crinkle, squeak or rattle, newborn pram toys are a great buy, either as baby shower gifts or for your own new arrival. The flexible plastic arch can be easily attached to most buggies using the chunky plastic clips and can also be clipped to car seats. Just don’t use it while driving as the car seat handle acts as a roll cage to protect your baby in the event of an accident. A toy attached to this bar may stop this safety feature from working as well as it should.
