5.0 out of 5 stars Baby LOVES this activity mat, June 14, 2008

My baby behaves exactly like the baby in another reviewer's video.
At about 4wks old, when he started being more alert and awake, I put him under this mat and was blown away by the smiles, coo's and wriggling. Two weeks later this has become part of our morning routine. I feed/change him, cuddle and talk, then lay him under the mat and watch him have fun until he is ready for his nap. My plan was to eat breakfast while he is entertained by the toy and go to bed when he goes to sleep but I can't bear to drag myself away when he is looking so adorable! I put him on the mat whenever he is awake and alert as he enjoys it so much.
- It was simple to assemble, except it came with two screws and I could only find one hole.
- The material is easy to wipe clean, I have not yet tested it in the washing machine. (7mths later this has been in the washing machine a few times and is fine)
- There are loops on the mat which you can clip the toys to when he is older so they do not just have to hang above him when he is on his tummy.
- Different textures and things on the mat will amuse him later when he is old enough to explore.
- I would like the mat to be a bit more plush actually but I have a small blanket underneath it to make it softer for him. The mat is on a rug on wooden floorboards, if I had carpet it would probably be fine.
- I love the puppy which plays music and has four flashing lights, although the mirror distorts your reflection. Babies like to look at faces so a clearer reflection might possibly entertain him better.
- The music is quite upbeat and pleasant, I have not found it annoying.
- There are only two volume levels, not a dial to gradually turn it up/down, but the sound levels are fine.
- The flashing lights can be on or off.
- You can switch the music/lights on for 20min or 'baby activated' which I think means pressing the ears to hear the music, I have not experimented with that yet.
- It must come with batteries as I do not remember searching the house for a screwdriver to get the back off.

The only thing I do not like about this is that you cannot have the lights flashing without the music operating (you can have the music without the lights). Sometimes I want to watch TV, or chat on the phone, or maybe I would like him to see the lights but listen to my choice of CD. The lights are fairly unobtrusive but when the music is playing, even softly, everyone in the room is forced to listen to it.

This review is from: Fisher-Price Songs and Smiles Discovery Gym (Baby Product)

I bought this gym for my lazy 5 month old, although she still won't reach out to play with the toys for too long she still enjoys laying underneath them and staring at them. She loves the colors, and feel of the mat. It has raised/attached fabric, tags, and crinkly stuff.

The toys are big and colorfull. The musical puppy is awesome. My daughter loves its music, lights and mirror. I like that it can be attached to anything and be taken anywhere.

The loops for attaching toys are genrous and perfect for batting or kicking. Great product.

update: DD is now 6 months and she loves grabbing the kitty and the bird. She's almost 7 months old and loves playing in her gym.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some goods and some bads, February 2, 2011

This review is from: Fisher-Price Songs and Smiles Discovery Gym (Baby Product)

I bought this item for about 1/3 of the price listed here. I'm not sure if I would spend that much on it for two reasons: (1) My daughter outgrew it really fast. After about 4 months it no longer kept her amused for this only lasted between 2-4 months for us, and (2) the bars that cross at the top have a very poor execution and always come apart. Mainly the green one, I have no idea why the makers made it that way but owners of this know what I mean it is always loose and falling apart. I was putting this in the closet and taking it out every time and every time I had to reassemble this due to that darn green bar :)

But, the one thing that makes this a 4 star in my opinion was the musical mirror. I always used this separably in my daughters crib. She absolutely loves it. Her whole face lights up when I turn it on and I'm still on my original set of batteries despite using it over 6 months everyday now. I think the mirror really makes this product and that's why I'd give it a 4 star. Without the mirror this would be 2.5 stars.
