Best purchase so far! 💜
Absolutely wonderful baby gym. I bought and tried a few others (trying to replicate the features of the lovevery) before landing on this. Very beautiful, soft, thoughtful design, adorable hanging friends, easy to assemble. I love how quick and simple it is to fold and store away. Nothing too much or too busy for baby. Very sturdy structure. Incredible value for money. Perfect for our little love. Definitely highly recommend.

Great Quality
This play mat has truly exceeded my expectations in several ways. Firstly, the quality of the material is outstanding. It’s sturdy enough to support my baby as he learns to roll over, yet it remains soft to the touch, making it a safe option when placed on our tile flooring. I can have peace of mind knowing that he can explore without the risk of injury.The design is particularly delightful; the sea theme captivates my son’s attention, and he just loves the turtle mirror. It provides him with visual stimulation and keeps him engaged during playtime, which is a huge bonus for both of us!I also appreciate how durable this play mat is. It has held up remarkably well to daily use, and when it’s time to clean up, I can simply fold it up with ease. The setup process is refreshingly straightforward — I was able to assemble it without the need for any tools, making it convenient for busy parents like myself.Overall, I highly recommend this play mat. It’s durable, versatile, and most importantly, it creates a safe and enjoyable space for my little one to play and explore.

Absolute must! Baby(and mom and dad) love!
Best baby item! We had a different play mat/gym for my first baby and while it was good, it felt flimsy. Ordered this for my second baby and it’s the best! Looks great in our living room, toys to grab at are fun and colorful; love the mat is reversible. Folds up easily if needed but we honestly just leave it out all the time! My three month old loves spending time on this and it’s a great safe place for me to set him down and he can have fun while I get things done. Worth every penny!

Favorite Playmat!
Originally I was looking for a playmat similar to the lovevery playmat, and I was gonna buy it used until I saw this playmat for a fraction of the price. My baby’s nursery is ocean themed so it definitely helped me sway towards this option. I’m so glad I picked this instead! My baby loves this thing and we use it everyday. It’s super engaging and I love how it has a black and white side for newborns and the colorful side for an older baby! It’s super easy to set up! You can also fold it up and put it aside so perfect for travel and small spaces! 10/10 recommend!

Super Cute, Baby Loves It
Love this baby playmat! Very sturdy but folds down small. Love that there are multiple options for placing the hanging toys and the mat itself is reversible. My baby seriously will stare at the crab toy and smile for minutes at a time 😆

Great option
Love this! Wanted a lovevery but it’s not in the budget. I love the high contrast side but also an option to have the colors as well. Super easy to take apart and throw in the wash if you need. I also like that you can fold it for storage or travel.

Great product
An amazing product at a great price! Sturdy design, easy to assemble and the pad washes up really well if you have a spitty baby. I love that the pad is reversible so you can use black and white for high contrast tummy time or flip it over and let your baby see the colors.

Great Small Play Gym – Washes Beautifully
Great option for a grandparent’s home – unlike many others, it compacts nicely when not in use. Washed mat on cold gentle cycle and air-dried and it looks like new.
