This year’s baby toy trend is for physical toys that improve co-ordination and wellbeing, over traditional toys and those boosting brainpower, reveals Twenga (http://www.twenga.co.uk), the new generation search engine.

In just one month, visits to baby play mats rocketed 297%, baby walkers rose 129%, and baby gyms were up 116%. While the big classics such as baby mobiles and rattles remain popular, searches are growing much more slowly for these during the usual summer baby toy surge. Rattles were up only 98% and baby mobiles just 87%.
