I have this for my 3 week old baby and he absolute loves all the colours and animals! He doesn't like lying on his back most of the time until I get this out, he likes to play with the giraffe that rattles! The songs the lion plays send him to sleep so it's great for keeping him quiet!
I absolutely adore this product because it gives me the chance to have my baby under control and keep doing house cores at the same time.
My little one(3months) is obsessed with it and he gets entertained for very long time everyday.
It’s easy to wash, colorful and foldable.
The only down side is that the mat gets warm fast under my baby’s body but it’s not a big deal.
Baby loves it, can keep him entertained for the longest time. Can reach the toys - loves the colours. Perfect for tummy time too. Mat is a bit thin so I still put blanket under the mat as I have wooden floors so baby doesn’t hurt his feet when he’s kicking away.
This is a lovely little play gym that we've just bought for our baby. It's small so doesn't take up a lot of space and when I want to get it out there's no extra assembly required, it just folds straight out. It definitely keeps babies attention, she loves the musical lion.
Small and easy to use, lovely playmatt. Baby can interact a lot with it as there’s a mirror, hanging toys and a lion that plays sounds. Daughter loves it.

My baby is 8 weeks old and has been playing with this since he was 5 weeks old. He loves to play with this first thing in the morning and throughout the day. He loves the hanging objects and encourages him to reach up and hit the objects as he does. Folds away small so is practical. Mat can be washed and comes up lovely once washed. My baby also loves how the mirror is in the middle where he is so often looks and laughs at himself. The price is very good for the amount you get.

I bought this mat before my baby was born as it was on sale and it was definitely one of my best buys.
My baby (now 8 months) used it from a very young age and has only just lost interest in it since starting to crawl.
It used to entertain my baby for up to 20 minutes at at time and she loved trying to swipe at the hanging toys.
The lion that plays music is very good as well. Not had to change batteries once yet. You can choose to have music on for a longer length of time or a shorter length of time.
I like that the toys are removable so that babies can play with them in other settings. I also love how easy the mat is to wash. I have a dog that sheds a lot and so the mat did get its fair share of dirt/dog hair on it. It's very easy to remove the bars and put it in the washing machine.
Overall this is a great mat and I would definitely recommend to anyone with a young baby.
I loved this product and it helps when am busy and need my baby to keep busy too. Currently using the product and love everything about it, the toys are too much and it helps with his teething. The musical lion really makes things easy too but it songs different songs.
We bought this as a spare to keep at my mum and dad's house for when we visit but the baby loved it more than his own (more expensive) gym at home so it's come home with us. He loves the musical lion, the toys are in easy reach to grab and kick and there's enough room for him to roll (though he does get stuck sometimes). It's such a fun mat and machine washable. There is a rattle, teether, soft toy, mirror and another type of rattle and he's really developed a lot since using this mat/gym
I tried many play mats since my baby is usually not interested.
This one he loved !!! He spend so many hours playing there !!! It’s a life saver for me !!! Fisher price never disappointed me !!!
Not all play baby gyms are as compact as this so this was a good find. Great price too. I love the way the music lion plays onto the next song. When the child gets older the setting can be changed so that the child has to spin the blue barrel on the lion to go onto the next song
My twins use this mat since 5 weeks old. Now they are nearly 4 months and still love it. Bright colours are very interesting. All toys are nice. One of my twins love the mirror and another loves music lion which I think is the best. Another plus for easy washable material but it is very thin so I normally put the mat on the blanket and blanket on the rug;)
This is a really good playmate for the price. Baby is entertain for a while and also has a musical lion to. The only thing is the size apart from that it's a great buy.
My son is 9 weeks old and loves this mat. As it is compact in size, he can reach the animals easily.
Only criticism is the lion sound pack doesn't stay hooked on when he bashes it.
Bought for my daughter at 3 month old an she loved the sound of the musical lion, she started to read for the toys around 4 months an easily kept her entertained for 20 mins or so. Easy to wash and dries her quick. Great price
I got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it! At the right age now that he can pull and play with the hanging toys, it’s easy and light weight to tidy away and doesn’t take up any room at all
Our son was bought this play mat and he loves it. The toys are detachable so we can take them on the go when he starts teething. The musical lion is a great addition. The mat is quite thin so we use on a rug for additional padding. The mat is not that large so will probably only last until around 6-9 months. It is also not the strongest so might not survive stronger tougher play from a toddler
Tthis is a nice portable, compact play gym and is good for small spaces and for travel. It's easy to set up and wash. The mat is thin so when should do with extra padding underneath if not using on a carpeted floor. It kept baby entertained for a moderate amount of time and we were able to take the toys off for free play and on the pram. It wasnt very good once he started to move and roll as it was easy to pull over with him.
My little girl got this for her first christmas. The mat is soft but it is a little on the small side for the price of it. She loves laying on it looking at herself in the mirror although i do have to lay her a particular way for her to do that. She loves playing with the little toys the comes with it. It is super easy to store as it just folds up and can fit anywhere. Just a shame about the size of product.
My son is now almost 3 and still has the musical lion that came with this play mat. He listens to it to fall asleep! Excellent value for money on this mat very bright and gets baby's attention very well. My son was nothing but smiles whilst playing. Only thing I found is it is quite short and not very padded like some other play mats but overall would definitely recommend.
Good play mat as has bright interesting colours and a good range of toys with different textures so good for sensory. The mat itself is a bit thin so doesn’t feel like it’s very comfortable.
Lovely playmat. Not too expensive and my baby likes it. 2 volumes on the music is good and it plays for a good while each time. This baby gym is perfect for smaller rooms as is quite compact. Perfect for babies up to 6 months.
I received this play mat as a gift when my daughter was newborn. She loves the mirror and watching herself while playing. There's a variety of toys attached but we also switch in some new toys as they clip on easily enough.
Mat a bit small and hard to understand instructions for tummy time

This was bought as a baby shower present from my parents. My son LOVES his mat!! I have seen the piano version for them to kick and I think he would like that even more because he kicks his feet a lot with excitement. The mat is very thin and quite small. I feel it doesn't encourage rolling as he is quite hemmed in. I tend to put his changing mat under him as well for extra padding.
He loves the eye on the parrot and the giraffe. It has tough him to reach out and grab which he is getting good at now. He has started to get frustrated that he can't put them in his mouth. Maybe having them on a bungy type string would be good to keep them at that distance unless they pull them hard then they can get them in their mouth?
Very pleased with this product on the whole though!
