There are several things I like about this baby gym. The toys are really cute. There are some that squeaker or jingle, a couple that are good for sucking on, and one that crinkles. The rainbow mag black and white pictures I find less intriguing, and not as useful. The pad itself is nice and soft, having a little padding. I do wish there might be some musical parts, but not a must. My only real issue is that there is only enough chain pieces to have one on each toy. So the way they hang makes it so the ones in the middle are a little high for a younger baby to grab.

My baby is obsessed with trying to eat the toys that float in the water. Those are such an excellent addition. It occupies him for such a long time. Watch out if you try to pick it up from the mat the water mat will rip off because its so heavy.

First things first: the arch attachments are UNDERNEATH the mat whereas the loops on the edges are for toy attachments. Speaking of toys, there is a wide selection of toys to attach on the arch as well as the mat including black and white designs on cardboards and a toy elephant with a soft blanket. Because the arches are taller than most other play mats, the toys that attach at the apex of the arch are too tall and irrelevant. If the mat is to be used on a hard floor, you will need to place a pad or thick blanket underneath the mat to protect the baby. For the price, the gym mat is well made and has lots of different types of toys.

This play mat is an excellent size with a ton of bonus entertaining features! I love the high contrast features which make it great for developing eyes. The rainbow is precious and removable and would make cute wall decor too if you preferred not to attach it to the play mat. The little elephant snuggle is my absolute favorite. Everything is very well made and durable! I am impressed with the quality. The toys and visuals can attach at different levels and can even be hooked on something else like a stroller. The bottom is non-slip wish it great for any type of flooring it is sitting on.

Three kids later and this one is my favorite- keeps her busy and so cute!

This is a fun and creative play mat. It has a lot to keep your baby occupied, including the water mat. The palm tree detail on this is also great. I am really happy with it.

This is great for young infants. The toys are soft and plush and great for sensory development. It is bright, colorful, and cheerful. It’s a great choice. Would make a great gift.

Overall this is a nice play mat with a good variety of toys. I really like that it is machine washable. I have two criticisms of the mat though. First, the inflatable tummy time mat is very difficult to inflate, and once its inflated, it warps. It refuses to stay flat. Second, there are no written instructions at all in the box about how to assemble it. There is a very helpful video on this Amazon page, but if the video is ever taken down, or this page disappears (common when Amazon stops carrying certain products), I would not have known how to assemble the toy.

I think I put it together wrong but he didnt care. The water mat was a huge success with my 9 month old grandson. There are many objects that hang from it but he was completely into the water mat. He kept trying to get the letters inside the mat. This should keep him occupied for a long time or until he get bored.

Perfect, it keeps babies entertained for few minutes giving some time to do things that cant be done while holding a baby. It helps with hand eye coordination. Is so cute to look at the little ones moving their hands trying to reach for the soft toys. This is easy to set up, and the arches are solid enough to hold bigger babies pulling the toys. Easy to clean in the washer as well as the soft toys. Toys can be taken from the arch so you dont need to spend in newborn toys. The toys that come with the mat can be a little less stimulating and boring to bigger babies but you can easily replace them with other ones to keep the baby entertained over time.
