Product Information

As your baby might drool on the mat or be touching it with sticky fingers, a baby mat or gym that’s easy to clean is especially important. Although the manufacturer claims the mat itself is machine-washable and easy to clean, some Pampers Parents said they found this baby gym was difficult to keep clean and not actually machine washable. you also have the option to have three sides up and one side down, making it super easy for mum to play with the baby. While this playtime only needs to last for three to five minutes for newborns, this amount should increase gradually until a little one spends about an hour per day enjoying time playing on their tummy.

On the side that has the netting, the little tabs that you hang the toys on were sewn on the wrong side which made them not usable. Keep in mind that the sides are not meant to be used as a play yard that keeps your baby in safely; rather they are to be used to make a ball pit for your little one to play in. However, the mat has a slightly bigger footprint than competitors’ products, even when packed away, so that’s something to bear in mind if storage and space are at a premium. This activity gym also comes with a take-along electronic toy bird with interactive lights and music.

Keep in mind, you’ll need batteries for the music and lights, and some Pampers Parents said the ray came off the mat too easily when pulled. This ball play activity gym is a great addition to your babies toy selection and is great for tummy time to toddler. This activity gym has 20 minutes of music that you can either play for your baby, or put it on the setting where the music, lights, and nature sounds can be activated by your older baby. If your baby is the one that doesn’t sleep when you’re trying to catch a coffee with your mums’ group, we think the 5-in-1 Ball Play Activity Gym from Bright Starts is perfect for you. The toys hang from soft “wooden” poles, and you can set the height of the toys as your baby grows using the added loops.

Many Pampers Parents said that bright colors were a priority for them, while others also said that patterns and textures were also a deciding point for a baby activity mat. The mat itself can be folded up to create walls that will keep your little mover contained and safe, while the imaginative lights and 20 minutes of provided melodies will stoke your child’s creativity. With its 3-in-1 design, your baby can grasp, bat and tug the toys, whilst its light-up toy bar teaches your child songs and words in English, Spanish and French. Think about what you need, and what features you’d like in your baby activity mat or baby gym, and you’re sure to find the perfect one on this list.Go for something that is visually stimulating from underneath — not just from the side — as that is where very young babies will spend the most time looking at the toys.

At the first signs of your baby becoming mobile, you can close one side of the gym to create a crawl tunnel.
