Fisher-Price Baby Playmat Rainforest Music & Lights Deluxe Gym with 10+ Activities & Toys for Developmental Play for Newborns Ages 0+ Months

So this was not the first activity mat I bought my baby. The first one was a skip hop brand and it was SO cute, and I loved the neutral color palette. However, I soon learned how lame the toys it came with were. But that’s not too big of a deal, I just hung other toys. But what made me search for a new one was when I discovered that our old mat was HANG DRY ONLY. Nope. Don’t have time to hang dry a mat 5 times a week after spit up and pee. My mom had an older version of this one at her house for my daughter, and my girl loved it, and so when I found this one, I ordered right away and it did not disappoint! The mat is machine washable, can go in the dryer, and the toys are FUN! It was worth the cost! Hours and hours of fun, and she tolerated tummy time much better on it too!

This gym is one of the best “toys” you can buy for your kid(s). Starting with tummy time and graduating all the way to trying to stand and pull on the toucan, this gym accommodates multiple stages of a baby developing many skills. We first started using it on a carpet for tummy time with our son. He got some good exercise doing nothing, but that changed soon enough when he started lifting up his head to admire the bright colored mat and the toy animals. He enjoyed it the most when we would put him on his back, and he could move his hands to play with the toy animals. The toy animals, each of them, are really nice and quite different from each other. The monkey and the lion are soft and made out of plush material, while the zebra and snail and made out of harder plastic. Perhaps wait few months before allowing your kids to play with the zebra and snail (read, do not let them pull on the toy zebra/snail early on. Our son also loved the overhead butterflies, but his favorite was the toucan with its music and blinking lights. The first thing he did when he could stand up with support, was hold on to the gym frame to pull the toucan down. That was “the sign” that we had to stop using the gym; be on the lookout for this sign! We still continue using the toy animals as he loves the toucan.

My baby has really enjoyed this gym. She just turned four months and is getting a little bored with it but she still plays in it. We have watched her grow in it. From the beginning her favorite activities were to lie on her back and watch the toucan’s big beak light up and glow (bird is detachable). The glowing light on top made this gym vastly superior to other gyms that we tried. She was always very happy and excited to go in here and it would keep her busy while I had to do other things. She used to kick excitedly to make the gym ‘move’ and then she would watch. Besides that she would stare at the monkeys face for a long time. And pull him down. Now she can reach the dangling toys and manipulate them. She also rolled over for the first time in here. I got this on without doing any research on Amazon Prime day and it has been a fantastic impulse buy that has been a huge success with our baby. The little mirror is too distorted. She won’t touch the zebra.

The animal play mat with the musical bird atop was a great purchase. My little ones love it and are entertained by the colors and creatures. It’s pretty sturdy around an older one running near too. Baby likes to kick the arms and watch the hanging items move around as they dangle. Good safe entertainment. Will take A Lot for it to ever collapse so I don’t worry if I have to turn around for a moment.

Omg my baby goes nuts with this thing. He’s 3.5 months old now and has been using it for a couple weeks. He looooves it. The toucan music is great and he loves that the beak lights up. We even remove it to take for bath time haha. He loves the hanging toys and the mirror. The zebra and blue monkey are his favorites. I love how they’re all detachable, we take them and attach them to his car seat and other toy bars too!! The mat material is this soft but super easy to wipe clean material which is nice because he’s spit up on it several times already. Easy to set up and super portable too! **Note-it does NOT come with batteries!**

This item is exactly as pictured and includes 5 small hanging toys: monkey, snail, zebra, lion, and a plastic mirror (not pictured because ours was cracked on arrival). There is also a larger stuffed giraffe, and the electronic Toucan with light-up beak and sounds. Pros: - Our son likes it, whether he is on his back, or his tummy, you can move the toys around so that your child can see and play with them. There is also lots to see on the colorful mat. - There are two sets of loops on each of the crossbars, so you can either hand toys high or low. There are also loops around the mat so that you can hook them in on the mat if you want. - The toucan on the top has a beak that lights up, and sits in a nest on top of the structure. This means that you child can see his beak light up from their back - The toucan also plays music and makes sounds, and I like that there are two volume settings. I hate when the toys are too loud. - The included toys are cute and each of them has some sort of interactive feature (i.e. a rattle, spinning ball, little bell inside) - The tag says that the mat is machine washable, but I haven't confirmed this Cons: - As others have said, you really can't pack this up and put it away. The ends of the crossbars go into the mat like a button on a shirt. They are easy to remove, but once you do, you are stuck with a giant x-shaped-pool noodle with a plastic bird on it (You can't detach the two bars from each other at the top). We have another gym like this at my in-laws, and on that one, you can remove the crossbars, and they can be detached from each other, plus they have hooks on the ends so that you can connect the ends and make two loops with the foam bars, saving some space. - Two of the toys, the zebra and the snail, are made of a hard plastic. I wish that they were plush, so that I wouldn't worry about them bumping into my son's head, or if he hits or kicks them too hard for his own good. - There is a psuedo-mobile on the top. I wish that it was an actual mobile that could spin on its own. Conclusion: While it isn't perfect, and you can't stow it away at the end of the day, I think that this play mat is great. There is lots to see and do even without the lights and noise from the toucan. There are subtle details that are great here, for one, the crinkly leaf is a nice touch, and there is a bit of ribbon on the elephant's trunk for your child to find. While I might shop around if I need another one of these, I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is looking.

Our daughter and son-in-law pack it up to bring to our house. It folds up and is easily put together again. The music is activated by our sweet granddaughter's kicking and movements. At less than 3 months old she learned quickly how to get the music and lights to start. She LOVES it! This Gigi took her time researching all the gyms. I read reviews about baby not being able to see the lights or hear the music. Our experience is to the contrary. The musical parrot on top works great and there has not been a single incident regarding safety of this product during the 3 months of daily use. This Fisher-Price Rainforest activity mat has met all of this Gigi's requirements regarding safety, fun learning for our granddaughter, flexibility with moving around the attached toys and the mirror, and the mat is machine washable too. I highly recommend this activity gym mat. It's our granddaughter's favorite activity at this time.

In 2015, I bought an earlier version for my newborn granddaughter and loved playing on it with her. When my grandson was born this year, it was the first thing I looked for. I enjoyed the color and sound and combination of experiences provided with this toy and at only 6 weeks old both grandchildren were happily kicking their feet making things move and music and lights play. When they get too big to be left under it, the toys are easily used for other play, such as the stroller or car seat. The blanket is washable. It didn't wear out before they got too old for it

Product itself is all right I guess. It’s a play gym mat. BUT, item on top (the toucan) is not perfect working well (faulty) and I received no response from Amazon US after almost 3 weeks.

Baby is really happy to have this.

Daughter loved this one. I loved the quality and volume setting.

Ce tapis est parfait! Super stimulant pour un bébé, très coloré, les jouets inclus à suspendre sont diversifiés et attrayants. Facile à monter, se lave facilement laveuse sécheuse. Le toucan au sommet ajoute de la musique et de la lumière au tapis. C’est vraiment un super achat. On a 3 tapis d’éveil dans la maison, et c’est sans contredit le préféré de mon enfant!

Excellent quality, bright colors and very good materials 👍 Better than our expectations
