Hello, I'm looking for both advice and a view on whether I'm being pigheaded (occasionally the case...)
It's my niece's first Christmas this year, she'll be the grand old age of 8 months come Christmas day. For some reason, I have my heart set on getting her the Fisher Price Kick and Play. My DB and DSil are aware I was looking at something like that, but weren't too bothered what I get her. They vaguely like the piano aspect.
Someone mentioned it in passing, and I love the idea of using playtime to build her little leg muscles.
I mentioned this planned gift to a friend (note: neither of us have children of our own). She advised me that this particular toy is aimed at a much younger age range and I should be getting her a walker instead. My parents are buying a walker.
I have checked online and it looks like the toy is one that "grows with the child" if you know what I mean so I bought it this weekend.
I've now been told by my friend that this is a stupid gift, far too young for my niece and that I'm showing my stubborn side in not taking her advice.
Am I being daft? It seemed like a good shout and the website didn't give an end age range but I don't want to be the hapless aunty who buys a useless gift.
