lots of toys at different height to encourage movement.

My son is 3 1/2 months old, I have been using this since he was 2 weeks old, he absolutely LOVES this play mat. It holds his interest for an hour or two, and I can get things done, he loves grabbing the toys. The only thing I would change, is maybe add some more toys, but I bought some extra fisher price toys, and he just has a ball grabbing them, and talking to them. He loves the lights, and the sounds. The music plays for awhile which he loves!

My son loved this. He was a "hold all the time" baby, but this was one thing that he would enjoy for some time. The lights and music made a lot of difference.

My daughter has been enjoying this play gym since she was two weeks old! At first she would lay on the mat and just watch the lights, and eventually she started batting at the toys (the blue elephant is her favorite), and now that she's almost 4 months she rolls and pivots to get to the different toys and still really enjoys this! I can put her down and eat lunch or clean the kitchen and she's totally occupied and will play by herself for 20-30 minutes! When she loses interest in a particular hanging toy I just buy something different and hang it from the rings.

I recently purchased the Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym for my granddaughter. My daughter washed it in a pillow case as directed but the backing began disintegrating the first time it was washed. I think $70 is a lot to pay for a product that literally falls apart during the first cleaning. I expected better quality from Fisher-Price.

We bought this for our grand-daughter and she plays with it all the time. The melodies are very soothing for her and she is very happy when we lay her down under the the canopy. She loves the butterflies and can stay there for a long while.

This activity mat has the best music of any toy I have heard so far and has so many fun features like a rattle, a mirror, a leaf that crinkles, lights that change, a teether ring, shiny butterflies that hang over head, and more. It definitely holds my daughter's attention (she's very alert and gets bored easily). It's probably my favorite purchase thus far. I would definitely recommend it for anyone with a newborn and look forward to our daughter growing and playing with it more.

My son ablolutely loved his! It was the only thing that he let me put him down for! We got it when he was two months old. Soon he would only use it on the rattle mode so he could control it and interact with it. The only problem is he wore that out, and I would want to use it for our next one- it should have held up for at least two kids! Plus, it has doubled in price!

Purschased this for my 5 month old at the time and she loved it! She loved the sounds and the lights! She is now 7 months and we use the mat for play time! Great product!

I love this playmat. It's so bright and colorful. It has so much to entertain them with. The music plays for about 20 min and in between songs it plays rainforest sounds! It's great for them to lay on their back, stomach or even sit up and play. Was worth every penny.

The hard plastic bars under the pad were uncomfortable for my child and she would not lay on it. She had another pad like this one with no plastic pieces under it and she loved it. We got this one hoping it would be better than that one and she had (more accesories) but she would not use this one at all. I wish I had saved my money or spent it on a toy that she would use. We laid on it as well and the plastic was very uncomfortable so we would not put her on it anymore, we did use some of the toys and made them hand-held and she did like those. So we have not used this (mat) in over 6 months. Fisher price is usually the best but not this product.

It was worth every penny. Robby played all the time from 2 months until about 9 months. Robby took naps and learned how to self entertain with this gym. I loved the fact I could change the toyd around and add or subtract toys to keep his interest at its peak at all times. He is now walking and doing other things and does not have time to play with it but I keep it around just in case.

My daughter loves kicking on this mat and talking to all the little hanging toys.

We started using this gym for our daughter from about 2 months on and she loved it. It became a part of her morning routine after she woke up and got changed she would go in her gym, if she didn't she would cry. When she first started using this she wasn't really moving around a whole lot yet, but she liked watching the lights and when she started making sounds she would "talk" to the little orange monkey every time. Once she started moving more, she loved grabbing at the toys and enjoyed the setting where she had to rattle the bars or pull on a toy to make the music and lights go. She's almost a year old now and still likes playing in this, although we have added some other toys on to keep her interest.

My daughter started using this play gym when she was about 3 months old. She loved all the toys and the lights. I loved that she finally played by herself and gave mommy 5 min to do things! She used it everyday several times a day. She is now 15 months and her baby brother is 4 months and is enjoying the gym himself everyday. I love that you can add your own toys to the bars so the kids don't get bored with the same toys, and I LOVE that you can take the bottom pad off and stick it in the washer after baby puke accidents. The bottom pad/mat has fun exciting colors and also things for the baby to explore such as the zebra's tail, and the sun rays are ribbons. So much activity for tummy time or back play. I was skeptical at first because it's pricey, but believe me it's SO worth the price!!

Absolutly love this. Keeps my baby boy entertained for ages. He loves the flashing lights and the music. Would recommend this everyone.

Our daughter enjoyed this in small doses for a few months. A couple of the toys were a bit out of her reach, so I added a couple of the Fisher Price Link-A-Doos to extend the toys down closer to her level. She really enjoyed the music and the blinking lights made her laugh. We never really got use out of the "rattle" feature (the music & lights start up when the sidebar is jostled). We tried it on that mode a couple times, but she never really jostled the bars enough for the music & lights to come on, so she would get bored. It would hold her interest for about 15 minutes at a time.

We received this as a gift when our son was born...he is now 11 months old and just recently stopped playing with it. He still plays with the rattles and mirror. From the time he was only a few months old he loved it. He stared at all of the bright colors and reached for the hanging toys. He hated belly time but this helped keep him distracted and got him lifting his head. I would recommend this to anyone!

I actually had registered for a different play gym, but received this one as a gift and was extremely impressed! I absolutely love it! It has great tunes and lights and lots of toys. So many things on this mat to keep baby interested, it is a great time saver for parents! We can put baby on this mat and get some items done. It is great to watch baby have some 'alone time' in this mat and see how she tries to reach for objects and talks to them. It is nice to be able to see try to roll over to get items and to talk and kick while watching the lights or other items hanging. I love that I can interchange the toys and move things around that my daughter prefers or to try to get her to reach for them. Really a great product and I would buy over and over again. Great job Fisher Price!

The Rainforest Gym was one of the best gifts our baby received. The colors are wonderful, it has lights that blink with the music and there are many fun/creative ways for parents to play along with their babies. The batteries are a little tough to install in the giraffe, but completely hidden from children (worth the extra effort). One of the toys had a manufacturing defect and Fisher-Price provided the best customer service assistance for quick replacement, I was truly impressed and will buy more of their toys for our baby.

I don't know what we would have done without this toy!! Our baby used it from about 4 weeks on. She is now 13 months and we still use the play mat without the gym attachments!! Fantastic toy!!

I received this item from the girls at work and was not sure if my son would like it - He LOVES it - he kicks the crinkle leaf and grabs at the hanging animals which are secure and don't easily come off so they don't hit him when he pulls. The two volumn levels are wonderful and the lights are not too bright. My favorite thing is that the mat is washable, just put it in a pillow case and throw it in your washing machine - it is a Great Sanity Saver!!

We bought this gym for our daughter when she was about 2 weeks old. It has interested her since day 1 with all the lights, music, and colors. We originally used links to drop the rainforest animals to about eye level, and turned a fan on low to make the butterflies "fly".At 6 months old she is still all over her gym, except now she pulls at the animals and butterflies.This gym can take a beating for sure! I highly recommend this gym for anyone interested in quality and entertainment for your little one.

I bought this for my daughter when she was a couple of months old. She loved it. Then when she had out grown it I put in back in the plastic it and came in. I am now using it for my newborn. It stored easy and the blanket can easily be taken off anf thrown in the washer!

Even though I already had a play mat before my baby was born I just had to have this one! I love the colors, lights and the variety of sound. My little girl loves it! It allows you hang other things from it as well. (We hang links so that she can grab something.) The only thing this play mat doesn't have is something squeaky. Definetly would recommend this to new parents!

This play mat is very good. Can be confusing to get put together right (finding the right way to twist the overhead bars). Babies can pull toys off easily and wish the mirror was bigger, but overall very cute and a good play mat.

My four month old has loved this toy! He started to get interested in it at two months but wasn't able to play with it on his own until three months. The toys are colorful and great for development. I love the choice of music and sounds (it's not annoying unlike most toys). What I don't like is that one of the suspended arms (rainbow side opposite of the giraff) comes out fairly easy so if my baby rolls over into it, it falls out. But that is my only complaint. All of the positives FAR outway that one thing. Definitly worth the price!

received this as a gift for the baby-one of the best gifts by far!!! it keeps my baby entertained and allows me to check my emails, get a snack, or finish up on some household chores by keeping her busy. also love that it folds up so that i can put it away (great because i have a teeny tiny apartment) i also like that the toys detach because i sometimes put them on the car seat so that she can play when we're outside. i would recommend this to any parent :-)

We got this for my son when he was about 6 months old. It helped with his mobility by moving around to explore the hanging toys. He could spend lots of tummy time and back time on the floor playing and exploring and reaching. Excellent product!

I have had three children so I know my playmats. In July 08 I had my third baby,a girl and we recieved this as a gift. This is by far the best play mat ever. Let me tell you why. The Rainforest theme it's self was such a brilliant idea. The colors are very vibrant and bold it attracts the eye of my three month old and holds her attention very well. This product comes with many interactive features and toys that can be moved around. If you are debating about a play mat debate no more because this is the mat for you ! You won't be sorry,it is worth every dime.....

This was my favorite gift and my daughters too!!! I layed her down in it from birth and she instantly LOVED it! She was so busy watching the lights and listening to the music that she stayed busy for hours! The batteries only had to be replaced once (after like 7 months) and my daughter still continued to play with it till 11 months (I decided to put it away). This is something worth spending on and storing it till the next baby. I really would recommend it and I even bought it for gifts already!

This captures my 3 month old's attention like no other, the only bad thing is when he is in a bad mood and ready for a nap it can be a little overstimulating, so I just turn off the lights and sounds and he's content batting at the toys and kicking the russling leaf!

My son got one when he was 4 months old, and he love's to be in the gym. He love the music and lights that surrounds him. When you have the music on active, he just moves around and the music plays by himself. He loves the vibrent colors. Love the diffrent colors of the animals, and it helps with hand eye coronadation. Great product, and I can pick it up and carry it any where.

My son absolutely loves this. I got it when he was 6 weeks and now he is 5 months 1 week, and he still loves it. There's so much to do. Everywhere he turns there is an activity. Plus the lights and music makes it so much fun; especially when he plays with it in the evening.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GYM. IT KEEPS MY SON BUISY AND ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS.

My children love this gym. When they were younger, it held their attention with the lights and music and they loved the adorable animals. They are nine months old now and still enjoy listening and dancing to the music. The size of the gym is great too, it does not take up a ton of space in their bedroom yet was large enough for both babies to lay on.

My 8 week old daughter LOVES laying under the lights and butterflies and just kicks her little legs and talks!!! We also do tummy time on the mat and she loves staring at all the different bright colors. The toys can be changed out and put in different spots which is great! I would highly recommend this product. Great job Fisher Price.
