A Product Review: "My son has been using this playmate since he was 2 months old. He is now 7 months and still reaches for it daily. He has learned to flip it over so he can reach the higher toys. I have yet to replace the batteries and everything still works great. The music plays for quite a while so you don't have to keep running over to restart it. My son also loves the crinkle leaf and zebra tail on the mat itself. Since he has been rolling over, he can now chew on them and it is one more thing to keep him occupied! I highly recommend this line of products!"

A Product Review: "I was so torn between buying this one and the total gym kick n play. so...I bought the kick n play and took it right back, because it just wasn't what I was hoping for. So i ordered this and just received it, And I love love love it!!! The colors are so bright and fun! The arches can also plug into the "stations" around the island shaped mat, so...you can create any old combination you want with the arches unlike other gyms where the arches are stuck in place and only fold down and criss cross, not left with many options. With this one it's like a new gym with every combination! I had no luck finding dimensions, but this is roughly 42"l x 38"w at it's longest points. The horn built into the mat is not real easy to honk you have to push hard...but that's no big deal. I also bought the kick chimes to put on it and my 4 month old son loves those cause he's such a big kicker! they are a little heavy and will weigh the arch down a little depending on what combination you have it in and how many things are hanging from that arch but it works! But the total gym was the same way.
For the music you have to bump the face of the mirror or tap it. It's fairly easy to set off. it plays short pieces of circusy island animalish type of music (if that makes any sense) The total gym actually plays a long ten minute mozart piece...but I find that annoying and i'm sure baby does too...he doesn't like his swing after it plays over and over either! I don't find the music too important...play your own! The boppy support type pillow is flatter than it looks on the picture the blue center is made of sponge material and the outside orange edge is a blow up thing. But it works as it looks like it would! The leaves on the picture I looked at were different, they do crinkle nicely but the backs are striped black and white and some striped lime green...nicer than the picture! Over all...I'm tellin ya...choose this one, it will grow with your baby sooooooo much better, and it takes the boringness out of the others that only stay one way. I am so happy about this one, it is sooo worth the money!"

A Product Review: "I registered for this playmat not sure if our baby was going to like it, but when I received it, I thought it was bright and cheerful and the right size for our already cluttered living room! When our son was 4 weeks old, he started showing signs of interest in bright objects so we put him on the mat and were really surprised with the results - he absolutely LOVES the mat! He especially loves the musical star (that can be moved around with the Velcro straps) and watches as it lights up in different areas! Now he is almost 6 weeks and it has become a calming and interesting place to be when he gets fussy- he will lay on his back and gaze at the mirror, lights on the star, and kick the birds and watch them move! This mat is a must for baby registries and great for newborns to gain alertness.
Another reviewer did not like the rabbit card, but it comes in a sleeve that will hold a 4x6 photo, so we printed out a photo (of my husband's college mascot, because it is bright colored) and put it in the sleeve. You could also put a photo of mommy or daddy, grandparents or a pet, too. Also, you can add other toys to the rings when the baby gets bored with the birds/bug/rattle.
UPDATE: Our son is 6.5 months old and STILL plays with the mat! Now he is sitting up on his own and will sit for half an hour or more grabbing the toys or rolling around on the mat (and even grabbing the tags under the mat!) We also just found out that a neighbor with a son the same age has the same mat and loves it too!"
