My daughter loved this product and it was absolutely amazing when it came to tummy time. The only problem I had with it was the fact the pillow slipped around as it wasn't secure which I believe it could have done with. The amount of toys that were on this product were great as there wasn't too much to over stimulate my daughter but enough to get her attention, also the colourful animals on it was brilliant as that is what she was drawn to the most. - Strengths:

This product is good for tummy time. It helps baby build muscles in their arms, neck and head. Very colourful, engaging and fun. Easy to store away and clean. However, the pillow tends to move around a lot and slide away from baby. - Strengths:

I really like this product, it's got a great design, is easily transportable and each bit is usable separately as well. The design is bright and interesting enough to keep my son's attention and the mat is really useful to support his chest while he's doing tummy time.
My only complaint is that the surface of the mat is shiny - very useful for cleaning, however, it's not easy for him to get or maintain a good grip on the mat's surface with his legs, as they slide around. This often results in him dropping his head back down to the ground, causing frustration. He's not great at maintaining tummy time for very long so we tend to place him on a carpet with more friction and use the mat to look at instead as he loves the patterns and colours. - Strengths:

This is just a brilliant playmat for tummy time. My little boy love playing on this and loved the little toys. It was great for practasing lifting his head on his own and building neck strength. However, the pillow was quite small, so I feel like my little boy outgrew it quicker than expected but it is fantastic value for such a cheap price - Strengths:

This Matt is great for tummy time and you can even put it in your bag and take it out with you if needed. It is easy to wipe down and comes with some good toys that you can use anytime of the day. - Strengths:

This mat is good value for money as it is fairly cheap in comparison to a lot of other tummy time products out there. It comes with two attachements to add to the tummy time cushion but I found that the cushion slid about a lot so my son was always sliding off. It is quite a thin mat and supper which makes it less comfy than other options out there. I probably wouldn’t buy this again but it was ok for what we paid for it! - Strengths:

My 5 month old loves staring at the colourful graphics and rolling around on his mat. Excellent value for money. Only thing that could be improved is a couple of extra toys would be brilliant - Strengths:

Considering it's a play mat and a cushion they are both very thin. I personally wouldn't buy this again if I was to have another child. - Strengths:

A lovely little mat for our baby. It’s great for tummy time and has a lovely design. The toys clip off the cushion which is lovely so they can be played with without using the mat. I would recommend this product. - Strengths:

This was great for short bursts of time. After a short while my daughter would roll off, or slump. Could perhaps be her age. She loved it and kept her busy, she loved chewing on the little toys! - Strengths:

I bought this as part of a 2 for £15 offer, unfortunately my son hated tummy time so it didn't get used very often at all. He did, however, like the toys that are detachable from the prop pillow. I liked that the mat was very light weight and far more compact than others i had seen, made it far easier to store between uses. It was very easy to clean and dried quickly. - Strengths:

The toys that connect onto the mat kept her busy so she wasn't getting agitated, and he pillow was great for her to be able to learn her head control. -

Great for trying to give my baby tummy time and trying to teach him how to roll over. He does get bored but the toys on there keep him entertained that little bit longer - and he like to lay on the pillow while on his back. -

My daughter hated tummy time with a passion so I bought this to help her enjoy it. It certainly did the trick and it helped us to build up the amount of time she spent on her tummy, strengthening her back and core. She became very attached to the frog rattle that came with it and at nearly two years old, still likes to carry it around with her! - Strengths:

I loved this little mat it's absolutely perfect for the purpose of tummy time and so easy and compact to use and put away. Very handy to take places with you.
Little boy loved it too the cushion gives baby support to be able to look all around. Very colourful attractive mat.
Only thing i would suggest is if you aren't using it on carpet etc and are using it on wooden floor you would need a blanket or a mat underneath as it's not the thickest
But would definitely recommend. - Strengths:

Got this for my little boy the price and the colour swayed it for me, unfortunately he's not keen on tummy time but we have still used this mat as something for him to lay on when he's playing on the floor, also he loves the little toys that come attached to the cushion. - Strengths:

Brought this for my baby boy, it’s quite small but great for tummy time and a good size for a small lounge area.
He likes the colours and likes the toys attached that it comes with.
It isn’t padded so I put it on our rug or blanket as we have wooden floor. - Strengths:

My LB loves the colours but the cushion is not attached so it moves which he gets irritated with. Worth the money I paid though as he loves lying on it.

This is a very cheap mat if you are looking for something for your child just to do tummy time on with the ideal cushion/pad to lay your baby on. It is very colourful and the ideal size for this purpose. The mat is very thin and does not last long just purely for the first few months.
The toys on the cushion are very simple and are easy to hold whilst lying on the cushion but could possibly contain some music to enhance the product a little more to keep babies content a little longer.
It is a very small and compact item which is easy to carry or take places if needed to. - Strengths:

My little boy loves this play mat, the cushion works really well, helping him feel comfortable during tummy time. He also really likes the included toys. The only downside is that the pillow moves around, it is not attached in anyway. A simple solution I have found is to use a link form a toy to loop through the cushion and the little loop on the mat. - Strengths:

Easy to store easy to use. My child dose not like being on his tummy only for a couple of minutes but this kept his interest for longer. The toys encouraged him to push him self up n encouraged him to start to crawl. Very good value for money very happy with this product. - Strengths:
