Gym Reviews

We got this as a gift! It is so worthless! I wish the store would take it back! The kids did not like it and it really doesn't do anything fun. Don't waste your money!

My son loves this playmat. He enjoys lying on this back and sitting up. It is the BEST playmat out there!!!!!!!!!

My baby girl loves this toy. I put her on it at about 6 weeks and she has loved it ever since. Highly recommend it!

We recieved this playmat at our shower along with the Baby Einstein playmat. My son LOVES the Baby Einstein mat but is pretty bored by this one. On the Baby Einstein mat, he kicks his feel and waves his arms while smiling away, but on the Fischer Price mat he just lays there.

The toys are hanging too high for him to hit to activate the bird's movement, and on the flip side, the bird hangs too low. I tried lowering the toys with some extra lincs and one of them hit him in the head and since they're hard plastic, it made him cry. I have to position him with his feet next to the base of one of the bars so he can kick the bar to activate the bird. The bird just doesn't interest him at all, it moves pretty jerky and doesn't have anything flashy to attract and keep his attention.

The mat does have lots of cute things for tummy time play, the one advantage of this mat over the Baby Einstein mat. But I'd still say that if you have an active little baby who's hard to entertain, this playmat isn't for you.

This play mat is wonderful and has so many different items that keep my daughter entertained. We purchased when she was 2 weeks old when the doctor suggested we start on tummy time. We will lay her on her stomach and shake the dragon fly rattle, which detaches, and she will move towards us. Other times we will play with the butterfly on the mat, whose wings make a crackling sound. There is another dragon fly on the mat that squeeks. At about 5 weeks we finally installed batteries (it takes 4 "C"). The bird doesn't really capture her attention yet, but is just the cutest thing that I have ever seen. There are a few more toys and a mirror that she also is too young to understand yet but that's good because it means that this play mat will last us for some time. Like I said in the title, worth every penny!!

I bought it for my daughter when she was about 4 months old. If I would of known she was going to love it i would have got it sooner. She had so much fun and kept her very entertained. She outgrew pretty soon. I recomned you buy when baby is 2 months.

I bought this for my baby when she was about a month old, and she loved it until she was around 5 months - when she started sitting unassisted. She would stare at herself in the mirror and eventually was able to reach and pull down the toys.
My only complaint is once she began to reach for the toys and get them down, she would naturally chew on them. The pictures on the hanging toys are stickers and even without teeth my baby would mouth the sticker and would end up with loose pieces in her mouth.

i bought this for my 2 month old son, he LOVES it! i had originally bought another fisher price playmat (barnyard) and it was way too overstimulating for him. this has gentle music and is slow moving so he can easily follow the petals and not get over stimulated. i also like that you can activate the mobile without the music. he loves the mat for tummy-time also. the toys hang at just the right level and can also be adjusted accordingly. he rolled over for the first time while looking at the toys! i would highly recommend this. it has all the benefits of a playmat and more. he laughs and talks at himself in the mirror and can stay entertained for an hour sometimes! LOVE IT!!!

We bought this for my 2 month old daughter and it was the only thing she will lay under and get her attention. She is 4 months now and still likes it. The only complaint I have is that the panda mat is hard to connect and it does take up a bit of room. But over all we are happy and so is Anna.

We bought this climber/swing extension for our son's 2 year Bithday. He LOVES the swingset & wants to swing all the time. However, he is too tall at TWO YEARS to stand in the house. I will be purchasing a little chair in hopes he will go in the house sometimes. I'm surprised he is too tall since the age range is up to 6.

The construction of this toy is solid & thick & I believe will last a long time. It took two individuals several hours to put this together with little difficulty. It blends nicely with our landscape and nature.

We bought it for our granddaughter. It was delivered right on time and was easy to assemble. She has enjoyed it more than we imagined.

We just got this set for our 2 year old and she just loves it. It only took my husband less than 2 hours to put it together, I helped a little. It doesn't take up alot of room yet you still get 2 swings, a slide and a playhouse. I also like the fact that the slide is off the ground so when she slides down it she (almost always) lands on her feet. We had to take it out of the box to get it in our mini van. The instructions aren't that great but you can figure out what needs to go where.

My little girl is now almost 1 year old; we bought this toy for her when she was about 6 months old because she loves Elmo so much. We held onto it thinking she may like it some day, but it continues to be too loud for her. The buttons are also sometimes difficult to push and the toy is very unpredictable. Pushing the same buttons do not give the same responses each time; sometimes they do not work at all; I have tried all 3 modes of play and none of them seem to work correctly. I would not recommend this toy at all!!! This toy was very disappointing!

First, it's too loud. It needs to have a volume control adjustment. And second, when Elmo plays peek-a-boo it makes my son cry because it scares him. So I don't think this product is for infants.

We received this toy as a gift when our son was born. He loved lying down and watching the flashing lights, and Elmo popping up and saying "Peek-a-boo!" He is now 6 months old, and it's still his favorite toy! Since it converts to a sit up position as well, it really grows with your baby. It does use up batteries pretty quickly, but it's a small price to pay for a toy that makes him so happy.

I bought this toy because I thought that it would be interactive, but she pushes one button and the music goes on and on, and she loses interest. She hardly played with it. She prefered the Fisher Price baby gyms.

This toy was shipped to us without the second, third and fourth stage cards. Because it is a new product, Leapfrog has no "replacement parts" and so can't send me the rest of the stages. Nor will they send me a replacement. You might want to buy it in a store where you can open the box to make sure it's all there.

My son received this toy when he was 3 months old. Now he is 9 months old and he has enjoyed it at every stage. There are four stages and a card to go with each stage. At stage 1, he loved listening to the classical music and batting at the plastic things while laying on his back. At stage two, we altered the stand so that he could sit up and play the "baby senses" card (which he loved and laughed hysterically at!) Now at stage 3 he stands up and pushes the plastic things to make consonant sounds. The only complaint I have is that now at 9 months, he is very interested in pulling the card out of the slot and chewing on it which confuses the system and the mouse on the card will "oink" occaisionally. They should have made it a little more difficult for a baby to get the card out of the holder. But overall, it was a good buy.

We bought this for our son when he was 2 months old and he has yet to be interested in it. The music is very loud and he has no interest in playing with any of the buttons or objects on it. He does kick it and push it away from him, so I constantly have to push it back towards him. At 4 1/2 months old, he still is not that interested in it, but we keep trying it out each day to see if it will spark an interest.

What we like
1. Very versitle-5 ways to use it.
2. Colorful and entertaining- Baby loves to play with toys, watch lights and listen to music.
3. Easy to build and use.

What we didn't like
1. Way too loud. Put tape on the speaker until baby sat up to play with it-could be a choking hazard.
2. Tall baby-had to remove the green side for baby to fit under it.

I love the fact this toy can convert so many different ways. When our daughter was an infant, she sort of liked it but it was almost impossible to get the music to play (I had to swing at the toy myself) and it is wayyyy tooooo loud! I was suprised there was no soft/loud switch like most toys have now. I had to tape cloth over the speaker. My husband accidentally put it together backwards (so that her head is up against the green seat thing) - the instructions weren't clear and once you put it together, it appears there's no mercy in fixing any mistakes. Hopefully it will be more fun when she's sitting up and playing with it that way.

it didn't hold his attention for long.. it really is cute and very educational.. it is worth it.. I think my little man is just too active.. lol.. but he did like it!

My 2 month old can't stop smiling when he looks at this toy! It is the cutest thing to see how his attention is captivated by the sounds. We bought rechargeable batteries and we charge them at night. Rechargeable batteries are the way to go when you have small children. We used this same toy for our 2 year old. He played with it from about 3 months till he was about 14 months old. This toy helped him take his first steps too! He would hang on to the couch and try to walk to his Leapstart in the middle of the room. A great toy for the price!

I received this from a friend at my shower. I didn't register for it, but she said her daughter loved it. I started using it when he was 2 months old. He loves it. He kicks along with the music, and contrary to other reviews, I think the music is better than most of his other toys. It has many different songs that don't get too old too quickly. He loves the blinking lights and the mobile. I would buy this again!!

My 15moth old daughter LOVES this toy... she always wants to be outside playing in it - she has SO much fun. We can be outside doing yard work while she plays!! I bought extra balls for her to play with too! GREAT TOY, GREAT PRICE.

This is the best swing out there. Best features:
-ability to adjust back as baby grows and wants to sit more upright. Many other swings sit back way too far and my baby didnt like that at all!
-ability to remove the tray makes for ease in taking baby out
-VERY SAFE...3 point harness, in addition to the tray that comes down.
-length of ropes is perfect...not to high or too low!

Overall, I dont think you will find a better swing with all these features.

I first bought this swing 8 years ago when my nephew turned 1. He LOVED it, it was his best birthday gift. Since then, it has become our standard one-year-old gift. I've given it to dozens of children and received rave reviews every time. When a friend bought this for my son's first birthday, we were thrilled. He and his friends are now nearly four and still like to swing in it even though they have mastered the big-boy swing. My one-year-old will sit in it watching the big kids play in the garden and he is a mover - does not like to sit still at all. It is also perfect on days when the ground is too wet to crawl around (which seems like everyday lately).

By the way, I read the 'upside down' post. I was concerned and tried to turn mine upside down without a child in it and the ropes are balanced that I could not turn it even empty. That family may have had defective ropes or it was installed improperly...

This swing is perfectly safe... Setting it up was a piece of cake and our 6 month old Loves to swing in it!
