  i bought this for my 6 month old and he was more interested in the box then the toy. i thought maybe if i put it in front of him more he would take to it better but that wasn’t the case. he is 9 months old now and doesn’t play with it at all. a complete waste of money for me!!!

  Very cute and colorful toy but very boring. My baby was never interested in playing with this toy. I wish I got her something else.

  I purchased this for my 3 year old because it doesn’t play music or light up. It’s a very simple toy that makes a chiming noise when my baby kicks it with his feet–definitely encourages his kicking. Sometimes the simplest toys with very simple cause and effect are the best. This one is great.

  We bought this on sale and I am so glad we did. Honestly, there’s not too much to it, but my 5mo loves it! Between the colored leaves, tags at the top and chimes, he keeps batting it around. Great buy for the price.

  Keeps him interested for a little bit because of the animals and the noise it makes but I might go for something with more action.

  I purchased this for my sister, who recently gave birth to a boy. He is now six months old and has enjoyed since he was two months old. The toys are at different heights and give him something new to reach for as he grows. The sounds are fantastic, very relaxing to both adults and babies, and it’s nice that they last for about 20 minutes, so we don’t have to continuously reset things when we are visiting ourselves.

  When I have have my child, this will be one of the first things I purchase!

  I love this for my baby girl. She’s two months old now and isn’t quite able to grab onto the toys yet, but loves to look at the butterflies and lights. Her favorite part is the elephant rattle…she tries to grab at that more than any other toy. The spinning blue part is low enough for her to kick at with her feet. I’ve also caught her staring at the little taggies around the sun during tummy time. I like that I can unhook the support bar (not the one with the giraffe) and pull down and twist it to line up with the other support and fold the whole thing in half toys and all to get it out of the way when not in use. The mat also wipes up nice if she spits up on it. The only negative is that I wish the butterfly “mobile” actually moved on it’s own.

  I bought this for my VERY fussy 5 week old. He is an ultimate velcro baby who never wants to be down and I wanted something to keep his attention so I could get a few necessities done.

  This gym is a great size for a little one, not taking too much room but will be large enough that he’ll play with it until he can crawl at least. I sometimes put it in the pack n play (always supervised) just to keep my little guy up away from our dog while he is playing. The music is not too tinny or annoying and there are two volume levels. There are also rainforest sounds if you are looking for a more soothing experience for your little one.

  When I turn on the sound there are lights on the canopy that my son always smiles at and has now started to coo at. He does tend to get overstimulated if I leave the music and lights on for more than about five minutes but thankfully the colors and hanging toys keep his attention without the music too.

  There are many places to take linking toys so you can add your own toys and move toys around to keep it fresh and entertaining. The mat itself has lots of colors and some black & white animals that keep little ones busy for tummy time.

  My son spends fifteen to twenty minutes with this mat twice a day for tummy and play time and I pop him on it when I need a few minutes to accomplish something.

  My little guy is now 11 weeks old and we are still using this every day. He really loves the lights and music now and is reaching out to touch the toys. He especially loves the parrot that has a spinner on it, so when he bats at it he gets the gratification of it spinning for him. We also use the mirror for tummy time and he enjoys smiling at himself.

  We bought this play mat after looking at several and I am glad we decided to pay a little extra and get this one. My son loves laying on it and watching the lights and looking at himself in the small mirror. When it is time for tummy time he likes to scoot himself across the mat since it is much easier to scoot across than the carpet. The only complaints that I have about this mat is that it eats up batteries fairly quickly, I use the swing more than this play mat and I have had to replace the batteries in that much less than this mat. Also there is a small tiger on the mat that has a tail that protrudes from the mat and my son likes to put it in his mouth and suck on it, and it was just long enough to gag him so I cut it off. Other than those two things it has been great and I think it has held up very well so far. Would definately buy it again!
