We just got this tunnel for our 16-month old boy. Our local club store had a big sale on it, so we said, "why not?"

Boy, we should have gotten this two months ago! Of all the toys we've bought in the past year, this simple toy had gotten the most excitement out of our boy. If you were to quantify "fun-per-dollar", this toy did 10 times better than the next best toy.

Within a minute of setting it up, our boy was exploring it - crawling inside, pushing against the tunnel wall, laying on his back to look up, peeking out the "curtain" that is attached to one end of the tunnel, and just smiling from fun.

The next day, he started to roll the tunnel by pushing against the sidewall with all his weight. He pealed with excitement and happiness for a good part of ten minutes, waking up the napping mommy in the process.

I'm sure he will eventually get bored of this toy -- but in the first two days, I think we already got our money's worth.

This review is from: Baby Einstein Animal Exploration Tunnel (Baby Product)

This is just a great little thing. I know it's expensive, but once you see your baby in it, you'll realize that someone put a lot of thought into this.

Cons:
1. It is very large when set up, and it does take some time to fully break down and set up.
2. The mesh sides are vulnerable to velcro when in the wash

Pros:
1. It is large enough for me to get in to play with my daughter
2. If need be, it can break down to be even smaller than how it is shipped.
3. Machine washable and air dries 'flat' really quickly
4. Lets in a lot of light and feels bright and cheery
5. Very soft floor
6. Has pairs of images: one photo and one illustration of the same animal
7. Lots of toys to meet a wide range of interests and ages
8. A couple of crinkle 'leaves' and some ribbon tags on the floor help get my kid, who usually imposes a strict embargo on tummy time, to actually enjoy it (for a little while, anyway)

All in all, I'd really recommend spending the extra cash and getting this. If we hadn't already purchased infant gyms prior to this, I probably wouldn't have. This is a great multifunctional piece.


.....Fast Forward about 2 years.....

Daughter #2 is enjoying this tunnel and it still looks great after about 2 years of one kid and one dog working very hard to break it. My first daughter, now 2.5 years old still plays in this every single day. I can see her to continue using it as part of make believe activities for some time. This has turned out to be a great investment of a toy.

I bought this for our 3 month old daughter for christmas and she loves this thing. She rather play in the tunnel then over her Baby Einstein play gym. This has a super soft padded floor to it. Also its big enough to crawl in there with her. My only complaint about it is that I thought I could fold it up when not in use, which you can but you need to take out the two plastic tubes in the lining. I just assume leave it up since shes in it two or three times a day to play. I did find this on clearance at Sam's Club for $18.00 well worth every penny.
