Le Parc pour bébé et Tapis de jeux

When my mother was here, she helped me with looking after my baby. She assisted me in feeding, bathing, changing a diaper, etc. She stayed here for 3 months; I wish she could have stayed longer. But for a parent of the spouse of a French national, she was only allowed on a short stay visa (less than or equal to 90 consecutive days). I will try next time if she can have a visitor visa (more than 90 consecutive days). I have to work on it. 

A day after my mother when back to the Philippines, I told my husband that it would be difficult for me to look after our baby and I won't be able to do anything else.  Since we were living in my husband bachelor's flat that time, we couldn't buy a proper bed for our baby yet. So, we decided to buy Le Parc pour bébé and Tapis de jeux, where we can leave our baby to play. Since then, I have more time to do household work and also time for myself. 

We bought the Le Parc pour bebe at Bébé 9 for 50 Euros (I can't find it on their website). 

We bought the Tapis de jeux at Aubert for 79 Euros (it's 96 Euros now). Here are the details from the website: 

Interactive musical mat and bright with 17 different activities for the developing baby. Option raised edges to create a closed environment and cozy. Ark and Playmats severable.

Touch area and double-sided music:

Front "feet" (baby on the back) to encourage baby to work the motor of his legs

Face "hands" (baby on stomach): the musical cushion encourages the child to reach out and is rewarded by a set of lights and music.

2 sizes of carpets for more fun:

The edges of the carpet can unfold for larger playground baby.

They can also remain closed to allow the child to grow in a safe world.

5 hanging toys:

mini duck chime

a giraffe rattle

butterflies teething

bears and rattle rings

a lion rattle funny

These small toys toys can become separated to take everywhere.

Arches can uncross removable or removed.

Cozy and comfortable carpet full of activities:

different textures

Squeaker squeaker-

Surfaces rustling.

A mirror to entertain baby and develop a sense of perception.
