| This mat provided my son with plenty of stimulation - blinking lights, swinging animals, and music. This is where he perfected his motor skills. All the cons are VERY minor and it's worth every penny spent. |

Got this when LO was 3wks old and I finally was able to get things done around the house!! LOL. It kept him quiet and content and helped with tummy time. His favorite part is the top of the play gym with the sounds and ranging colors (actually thought the butterflies would spin like a mobile which was a downer). It actually keeps him content for quiet awhile-- it was 45mins. at 1 month, and now at 2 months he makes me restart it twice.
His favorite toy (other than the top of the gym) has actually become the elephant rattle. It goes with us everywhere and it's the only toy that he show interesting in grabbing and hitting.
I'd buy this again and again. Just wish the top could actually spin. :( |

My daughter wasn't able to interact much with this toy until about 4 months old, but before then she did still enjoy looking around the gym, staring at the brightly colored flashing lights, and cooing at the slightly swaying butterflies ahead. This gym is great because you can switch out the toys. My finance & I switch it up all the time, and we use every attachable toy we have on this gym. It keeps things interesting & surprising for our daughter, who is now 6 months old & enjoying this gym more then ever. She coos & "talks" to the animals & especially loves chewing on the monkey. The monkey has become such a special toy that her dad is thinking of getting it tattooed. It took our daughter Lenore awhile to discover the attachment mirror, and we knew previously that she loved mirrors, but once she has discovered it it is one of her favorites. She will stare in the mirror and smile and seemingly flirt with herself, then attack it with her slobbering mouth. Our baby gets much joy out of this gym! I do wish it were better priced. If it sold for $40 that would be great! But even still, the use & smiles & long play-times we've gotten out of this gym in the past several months, have no doubt been worth the money spent. Also the characters of this Rainforest line by Fisher Price are so cute! All the animals look very friendly & are all smiling in their faces. Quite sweet companions! We loved this gym so much that we purchased the mobile & waterfall soother in the rainforest's theme too, and if I would have known that they made a bouncer, swing & bassinet in this theme, we would have purchased those too!
Great little gym. Charming, sweet, entertaining, versatile, machine washable, easy to assemble & tuck away when not in use. However, this gym is in use, much more than it is not in use! There is not one day that goes by that our little girl doesn't enjoy spending some time with this gym. I will even set her on her belly on a blanket next to the gym & I'll turn on the lights & have the rainforest's sounds going, and it turns into a splendid tummy time activity center! We just hang some favorite toys from the attachment rings & she is thoroughly enthralled. She will roll back & forth now, but does not explore yet far from this gym.
I recommend! If you can afford this gym, I do not believe you'll be disappointed. |

| I bought the Fisher Price Rainforest playmat based on the reviews from others and based on how much my baby loves our other Fisher Price items - the cradle swing and papasan seat. At first, my baby would fuss when we placed her on the playmat, but now that she is older (2 months) she really loves to lay and stare at the different rainforest animals. Though the music may drive many adults nuts, the Fisher Price people have really honed in on the type of music and rhythms that babies like. It's nice that the rainforest animal components are detachable and that there is a multitude of sensory stimulation. |

| My 2 month baby girl loves it.However, the mirror easily goes off the red plastic. The design needs improvement. Also, one of the supporters easily fall down. Other features are so far so good. |

| I began putting our son on this playmat gym when he was 3 weeks old. At the time he loved to lay and observe. Over time, he has become more interactive with the mat and attached toys. He's now 4.5 months and will play for about 15- 20 minutes at a time. We attached a Lamaze toy - Freddie the Firefly - to it, and he enjoys grabbing, swinging and chewing on it. He has spent a lot of time having fun and learning in this gym and so I feel it was a great purchase. |
