Our verdict
Simplicity against spectacle, and both are excellent at what they do. The Bright Starts Oball costs £3.99, has 32 finger holes that tiny hands can actually grip, is BPA-free, and holds a brilliant 4.8 rating across 44,069 reviews, about as beloved as baby toys get. The Baby Einstein 4-in-1 gym at £44.99 covers laying, sitting, tummy time and travel with a kick piano, seven detachable toys, 70-plus sounds and phrases in four languages, rated 4.5 by 27,588. Honestly, they are not rivals: the gym is the main event, the Oball the essential extra. Budget for the gym, then add the Oball anyway.
