I really like this activity mat. It's cute .. tactile ... and my son (3 mo.) seems to really like it. probably no better than the other ones out there as far as he's concerned - but I like the funky design :-). I also like that it's reversible ( black-and-white patterns on one side .. bright colors on the other) so I can flip it around for something new.

I love this activity mat. I researched many such products online and this is by far the the most interactive and beautiful product on the market. I really like how the mat is reversible. Right now, my daughter does tummy time on the black/white side. It comes with cute accessories as well. I will be giving all my new mommy friends this product as a shower gift!

We got this for our little one when he was 2 months old. He loved it at the time and got a lot of tummy time in on it. He's now 6 months old and still occasionally uses it but has lost interest in the mat itself. He still enjoys the toys separately though, and the hanging toys are handy to hang onto the car seat handle. The colors are nice, the orange part is super soft, but makes a lot of lint.
It does not come with the water filled toy anymore like the photo shows.It comes with a mirror, a heart shaped rattle, 2 peekaboo toys, and a butterfly and two birds that hang on the "arms".
My issue is that the blue "water" satin part ripped about 2 months in. It's pretty ridiculous for that price.
Also, the other zolo toys are expensive, if you want to add hanging toys.

I decided to splurge and buy this playmat for my son. Overall I like it but it's not worth the price tag.

Pros:
- Very cute
- Sits high so baby can sit under it
- Easy to set up and take down
- Comes with a very handy carry bag.
- velcro toys are a nice touch
- mat has several textures

Cons:
- VERY expensive
- doesn't come with many toys. For the price there needs to be more rings and toys that hang.
- the only way to hang toys down the legs is to use the velcro attachments. the mat only comes
with two toys with the velcro attachment.
- toys aren't that interactive
- additional zolo toys are very expensive. The zolo mirror toy is $20 for it alone!

I wouldn't buy this again if I did it over. Way overpriced.

My 4 month old nephew has loved it since he got it a month ago! He uses it daily for Tummy Time and was so attracted to one of the brightly colored detachable toys that he rolled over for the first time as opposed to letting go of the toy when he turned toward his mother's voice. So glad I spent the little extra for this great mat!

Let's start with the obvious - it's a gorgeous mattress with a great design!! it's versatile, and you can add or removed toys as desired. I love the fact it has two sides - we kept it on the black and white side for the first 2.5 months, and now that our son is older we switched it to the colored side. He enjoys all the toys and loved staring at the b/w shapes when he was younger. And the little "birds" that come with this mattress are the love of his life... he hunts them with his sight whenever they are around. Already purchased another one of these for a friend. If you ask me - it is worth the extra money...

My son absolutely loves this! I've been using it since the second week he was home. I also bought the extra links to hook onto the other links by zolo and those are also great. I highly recommend this activity gym!

I can't say enough about this item. My grandsons love it. It's the first one I've seen that is totally safe and easy to set up and pack up. I am glad I bought it.

I just received this as a gift and we love it! It's really easy to transport too and keeps my 2 month old captivated. The materials are nice and it's a well made product and very soft, perfect for your little bundle of joy. I love the colors that contrast with the black and white. The delivery was prompt and I would definitely buy this for anyone who has a new baby in the future. Wonderful product! I love that it comes with a few accessories too and that you don't have to purchase them separately. Even though there are cute accessories you can buy in addition, which is nice too. We absolutely love it.
