    Fun Pod alternative

    Hi, my friend has a fun pod that her children use and they all love it, so I was planning on getting one for DS for Christmas. Problem is that I've just read that they are no longer being distributed in Australia. I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternative that is being sold here? It would be especially good if I could find an Australian-made alternative...

    I had a look at the learning tower the other day, but I just worry that my son would be forever climbing in and out of the open sides. I'm also keen to use it once the new baby starts to stand on her own and I just wouldn't trust that she wouldn't fall out those sides either.

    Thanks for posting about it though!

    Feeb, I'll go check it out!

    Boomba, from what I read it seemed more that the cost of freight to get them here made it not worth stocking them here anymore. I was hoping it was just that there was a new australian manufacturer that made it not worthwhile to ship overseas ones here, lol.
