Must-have items for your nursery to make playtime unforgettable

What’s better than making your baby giggle and smile? Often, even just the sight of your happy face will do the trick, but help is also here with the sweetest nursery must-haves ideal for all things playtime.

The sheer number of choices when it comes to baby products can be overwhelming. With Australians spending over $1 billion a year on toys, it’s critical to find products that you’ll actually use.

For essentials that make your baby’s eyes light up with delight but are also so lovely they’ll enhance the look of your nursery, we’ve turned to Metro Baby.

Metro Baby is Australia’s one-stop destination for baby products known for their safety and quality. There you can find everything from baby bottles to prams and adorable clothing, as well as things for play o’clock, all in one place. Read on to find out our favourites.

Delightful Baby Play Mats

As soon as your little one starts crawling, a baby play mat or padded rug is a huge help. Not only is it a safe place where there’s enough cushioning and padding for plenty of tummy time, but it also develops baby’s motor and cognitive skills. Plus, parents’ arms will get a much-deserved break from carrying and lifting.

For younger ones going with a sensory blanket is a great idea. There are exciting textures to touch, things to pull and pretty pictures to crinkle. Soft blankets made from safe materials are perfect for little explorers.

Multi-Functional Baby Play Gyms

Imagine a safe, miniature-sized indoor playground perfect for newborns. Welcome to a baby play gym that provides hours of fun while also helping improve baby’s development. Little bubs will have all the freedom to explore, roll and crawl on the padded mat.

Little ones will fall in love with gyms that feature overhead mobiles decorated with plush toys, cute creatures or rattles. Babies will build their muscles as they try to reach upwards and touch their favourite colours, all while playing.

The Metro Baby selection features play gyms ideal for nurseries of all sizes from non-toxic materials to give parents the ultimate peace of mind. You’ll find the perfect play gym to make memories with your baby that you’ll treasure forever.

Supportive & Comfortable Baby Carriers

When you’re ready to take fun outside of the home, a baby carrier makes it simpler. It keeps your hands free while still keeping your bub close enough for cuddles.

The best carriers offer support and comfort for both you and the baby. Your back will thank you as you carry around your tiny sidekick in a well-supported carrier with padded shoulder straps and head support for the baby.

As babies develop and grow, their carrier needs also change, so make sure to do your research to check that the carrier you’re choosing is age-appropriate. Find leading brands like ErgoBaby and Baby Bjorn at Metro Baby.
