Colorful bliss!
July 12, 2016
This cute little baby gym has impressed my infant from the moment we set it up! She usually hates being placed on her back for any reason, and no previous play gyms have been able to change that. This one was a different story!
Here are some of the different things I've found while letting my little one explore the toy:
Pros:
1) The removable toys are cute, and they all do different things. There's a zebra teether ring, a stuffed monkey that jingles and has a twirling tail (it comes tied to another toy, but can easily be untied and moved), a spinning green branch with butterflies attached, a snail with a spinning ball, a lion wig a rattle in it, a mirror, a large stuffed giraffe (with a loop in its mouth to which another toy can be attached), and sewn onto the mat is a crinkling leaf.
2) The toucan. One of the cooler features is the toucan that plays music and lights up. It has two different music settings as well as two volume settings. The music isn't unpleasant either. It will occasionally play for extended periods of time, and I won't even notice. It clicks into the top of the jungle gym, or it can be removed as a take-away toy.
3) The mat. I like that the mat is plush and smooth. I've had to wipe drool off of it pretty frequently (as well as the occasional spit-up), and it wipes away quite nicely. It is colorful, it has loops to hook the overhead toys onto, and the crinkle leaf is quite the source of happy entertainment.
Cons:
1) The toucan is a little too bulky. At this stage (starting to roll over), my daughter is totally fascinated by it but has trouble playing with it without bonking herself in the face and becoming quite livid. When she is a little older, I think she will enjoy it more.
2) The way the arches bend and assemble is a tiny bit odd. I worry that the area where they snap together may come undone if kicked around too hard. The arches have little areas that catch onto the mat once they're placed through the holes on the mat. It seems like they COULD come undone easily and the arches slide through, but I haven't had a problem yet, so it's just speculation.
Overall, my daughter loves this toy, and if she loves it, so do I!
