We should have bought this way before we did! Our son was about 4 months when we got it, but really we could've used it a lot sooner. It allowed me to USE THE BATHROOM during the day without him crying... the lights and music stimulated him great. It wasn't hard to assemble BUT we lost the instructions and now that our son is 8 mts old and isn't a lay-on-his-back-only baby, we can't figure out how to DISassmble it... so it's a bit bulky. Oh well! A great product we will be using someday w/baby #2.

This play gym is a great purchase. My 2 month old son loves laying in it and batting (or trying to bat) the toys. He also enjoys tummy time with this gym. It is extremely well made, the (many!) toys are adorable, and I can see this gym lasting for a long time. I did find it to be a bit pricy, but it seems to be in the same range as most of the similar play gyms. I definitely recommend this product.

only reason for not giving a full five stars is i had expected the butterflies to move (part of a mobile). for the price FischerPrice charges for this gym, it should be possible to add a small motor to make the butterflies move. other then that, everything about the gym is good and the baby is having lots of fun.

My son got A LOT of use out of this play mat. He used it for about 6 months or so...just till he could start scooching off the mat to check out other things. What I really liked about this is the removable toys. I took them off and attached them to his stroller and walker, so while he's now too old for the mat, he's still getting use of the little hanging toy that come with it!

My only complaint is this doesn't fold up, so it does take up a bit of room when not in use. I also had a Baby Einstein play mat, but my son didn't enjoy it as much as he did this one...however...the Baby Einstein mat folded in half, so storing it out of the way was nice. Overall, I absolutely recommend this mat! My boy just loved it, so it was money very well spent!

Our baby is 6 weeks old and loves the interacion this gym gives. Lights and music, but also the rattles have been great. we get 30 minutes of peace each day. Thanks FP!
