What are these called????

[ChelseaHarvey]

Im thinking of getting one of those massive lava lamp things for the babies room.

I was going to get him a lamp for his room, but our electrician is putting spot lights in for us, & i can dim these so i was thinking of getting a funky lava lamp as he gets abit older it may be nice for him to watch

Something like this

But like 3-4 x the size :lol:

It will go on the floor & stands up

I thought it was called a giant lava lamp but seems not to be as i cant get anything to come up on ebay or on the argos website

Nope the 1st one is to small i have just bought Alfie a 33cm one so stands taller than that

2nd one is the size i want :lol: but not that price tag :faint:

3rd one perfect but id want it to go all the way down

:lol: :lol: Seems im after the impossible without spending out thousands which isnt going to happen

[mummyplus2]

I think it will cost you a lot, even if you could find it cheaper elsewhere, it's still going to be in the thousands. Have you tried a price comparison website?

Park- The first thing you linked looks great, think I'll get that for Z! :thumb:

[mummyplus2]

Been searching but haven't come across a huge one at all!

Oren saw one at a friend's house and he LOVED it, it's like a baby screensaver :teehee:

Get a bubble tube. Lava lamps are HOT.

[DillyDally]

Bubble tube :nod: They aren't cheap though - linky (http://www.sensorytoywarehouse.com/All/SENSORY-ROOMGARDEN/Sensory-Room/BUBBLE-TUBE/p-135-150-170-1096/). H's school has a room full of them - it's lovely :grin:

Was just about to post this.... not something you want on the floor when baby starts crawling!:brainache::no:

[redhed]

You can get cheap bubble tubes. The lowest I have seen the "proper" ones for is £250 2nd hand on ebay. But you can get smaller ones, I've only seen them in one of those shops that randomly spring up in precincts before Xmas. The issue with the cheap ones is they aren't that robust and of course involve both electricty and water. I'm sure if I had ninja DIY skills I could install one to be childproof though, so if you know someone v practical it would be worth giving that a go. LOs are mesmerised by them, they are fab. :thumb:

They are & little hands might want to explore so best avoid & get a bubble tube instead & use one of those anti topple devices to prevent it from toppling over.

EXACTLY what I was thinking are you mad CH surely it's an accident waiting to happen unless its bolted to the floor and made of bullet proof glass or maybe that's just my two boys!!

[*Fallen Angel*]

Just to echo, I wouldn't get one tbh. We had a small table top one a few years ago, it got really hot very quickly and it was made of glass. Not a great combo for a young child.

[ChelseaHarvey]

The ones i am thinking of are bubbles not lava this is what i saw on 60 min makeover, These surely dont get hot??? They have them for kids with special needs or kids that respond well to stuff like that (ie Katie Prices son) loves stuff like this

They cant be dangerous or get hot?? The lava lamps yes, i know they get hot, i thought it was lava but its def bubbles & loads of them

I'll just stick to a normal lamp though (lava) it will be well out the way he wont be able to touch it but be nice for him to look at.

Get the Argos one and remove the fish?
