Great item! Great Price!

We got this as a shower gift and love it. We love all the girly colors and toys. Our daughter loved the bird that when you pull it makes music. It folds up easy for storage and travel.

We bought this for my baby who really enjoyed staring at the toys and when the bird would sing when we pulled it for her. Not even a month later, the bird is broken and will only 'sing' a 1/4 of the melody. Now I can't return it b/c I threw away the packaging. Would be a great value if the bird still worked.

    Worth every penny!

    We bought this for our daughter when she was a month old, she started batting at they toys around two months old and now at four months, it is her favorite thing in the world! It entertains her well, and she is a very demanding baby! The only down side to the product is that the singing bird recently stopped working, but we contacted the manufacturer and they promptly sent a replacement, so they have great customer service and I'll chock this one up to a fluke since otherwise the product is great. It's easy to fold up and take along, and you can add rings and more toys to it which we also have done. We take it with us on trips and wouldn't dare leave it at home! For the price I would highly recommend this product! You can also take the toy ...

    MY BABY LOVES IT!!!

    I bought this when my baby was about a 2 months old, she now 4 months. SHe absolutely loves it! it keeps her entertained for at least 30-1hr. She grabs the birdie to make it sing! It's so cute and colorful! I also like that you can remove the toys and hook them to the mat for tummy time & you can hook them on the car seat handle for entertainment while you're on the go. She uses it at least 3 times daily, like I said for 30mins to an hour and the birdie still sings. I would definietly recommend this product!

    Nice for the price!

    Got this for my Granddaughter, she is 3 months old and really loves it. It is easy to assemble and folds for easy storage. There are no lights and movement is what activates the birdy. However I think that too many toys today do all the work for kids, It is important for them to learn cause and effect, they hit the bird , it plays music... Anyway if you cant afford the higher priced ones this is very pretty has nice large toys, the mat is silky and soft and brightly colored. I chose this one over the elephant bright star because it had 1 more toy and plays music. I bought the tummy time mat for my other Granddaughter who is now 16 months when she was 2 months old, and that has held up very well with lots of use so I knew I could trust the p...

    Love this . .

    I bought this for my daughter when she was 1 month old, putting her under it so she could look at the bright colors instead of just looking around the boring room. SHE LOVES THIS TOY!! I love it because it keeps her entertained for long periods of time [ in baby time that is ] and the toys can be taken off and replaced with different toys. She loves the bird in the middle. She's nearly 3 months old and grabs it all the time. Easy set up and washing the mat itself is a breeze!

    What an overall great product!!

    I didn't know what to expect with the price of this thing but WOW, what a wonderful surprise! The matt is very soft, so soft in fact that I can lay it down on my hardwood floors and lay my daughter on it with no extra padding. Very nice. And she just LOVES all of the little toys that hang down. Especially that bright pink bird that sings all the songs. This is a fantastic product, and it is so cheap! They should be asking for more, really. I can't say enough abou it. Check the picture of my 7 week old loving life on this thing!

    Great product!

    I purchased this product less than a month ago and my daughter LOVES it. The musical bird did stop working, but I emailed Bright Starts and they had a replacement bird ordered(and promised within 5-7 business days) for free and they got back to me the same day. Great product and company!

    You get what you pay for

    I got this one at my baby shower. I agree with previous reviews about the bird that stops singing in about a month and you can't really replace the battery without ripping the bird apart. But I bought another toy (a hippo) from Bright Starts that makes sounds when you shake it and my daughter loves it as much as the bird. And I can attach it to the car seat too. Win-win situation. Besides the playmat has adjustable height so when the baby grows bigger you can reattach the sticks so the toys are higher. All in all, it's a good thing for the price paid

    fun toy

    this is a good toy at a good price.my baby loves to see the toys over her head.it really helps her learn how to interact.the only thing that let me down was one of the toys that came with it which was the singing bird.it is really hard to find the button on the inside.if it is really hard for me to find then how would a baby find it? besides that, this toy is great.

    bright starts activity mat

    There were two different mats shown on line . One in pink and one in b lue. I ordered the one in blue but was sent the pretty in pink one. They both are very nice but wanted the blue. It was for a 3mo old boy. Dad will probably be disappointed. Hoping they can return it in a walmart store. As I said it is very nice just wrong color.

    Great toy!!

    Easy to set up, and my daughter loves it! She didn't like the bird very much at first, but she's grown used to it. The "bars" that dangle the toys are like foam with maybe a thin plastic tube in the middle. They aren't stable really, so if you have a mobile baby, beware because they might hurt themselves if they lean against it. Otherwise, it's a great buy!! Good for tummy time too :)

    Just okay

    I bought one of these for my daughter when she was a baby and I just bought another for my niece. The only complaints I have are the following; the price, I think $25 is a lot for this; it's a little on the small side, your baby will outgrow this quickly; & the two pieces that go over the top are awkward and hard to hook up and take off. Overall, it is just okay.

    Entertaining Activity Gym for my 2 month grandaugh

    Bright Starts Petals & Friends Activity Gym has been great for our grandaughter (2 months). The only problem one of the hanging pull toys does not work...after pulling it there is no music. This activity gym doesn't take up much space at all, its a great size. Baby is happy and kitty enjoys it as well. Great value!

    Beautiful, daughter loves it

    My 6mo old is smaller than 97% of other 6mo olds...there aren't too many things she can play with easily, but she had been trying so hard. I saw this before she was born and loved the colors, but decided to hold off. I finally got it and she LOVES it. She can easily play with everything and now that she's figured out crawling she tries to take it with her!

    Its a great product. My daughter is 2 months old and she really reaches for the hanging interactive toys. She loves the bird. I love how I can change the location and length of the hanging toys so she can actually reach them. I had a gym with all the lights and dazzle for my oldest daughter and it didn't seem to be as effective as this one. This one is really stimulating hand-eye coordination/ motor skills. I like it. Plus, its monetary value is just right!! Well Done. Next the exosaucer search, when she can lift her head more.

    My daughter loves it!!

    My daughter is 2 1/2 mo and she absolutely loves this gym. I bought it about three wks ago. She at first loved the rattle, then the birdie. Now she loves the mirror. It's like every week she finds a toy more interesting. She can now bat at the rattle to make it shake and grab the birdie to make it sing. She will play for about an hour 2x a day in it. She also smiles at herself in the mirror and when the bird sings. I have read other reviews about the birdie dying; ours is still alive. I would buy this thing over and over again. Great job Bright Starts!

    good enough

    i have not used it as yet, it seems to be worth it came in good condition even tho i would have preferred a box it size, i live in the bahamas and have to pay customs for that big box! so in actuality i spent 50 rather than 25

    Great mat for babies who lie on their backs

    This is a great beginner mat for babies who don't like to lay on their backs. My daughter was a premie and even at just three months old, she loves to ly on her back and look at everything.
