    It’s very fun and colourful for sensory play, a little on the flimsy side if you wanted to put the walls up and the elephant that sticks on the top of the poles is a pain to put on but otherwise very good maybe not worth 80 odd quid I paid for it but my daughter loves i

    Bought this for my little girl and she absolutely loves it as soon as we put her on the mat she gets exited for the elephant to light up and play tunes

    Will be great when she gets a bit older and can sit up for the ball pool element of the toy!

    The material it’s made from makes it easy to clean. My little one has reflux and is often sick and it just wipes right off

    My daughter LOVES the little elephant that plays music and has flashing lights, she smiles at him a lot! 🙂 She is now 4 months and has started to play with the little toys that hang down.
    I like that this playmat has different ways that you can set it up and I love that it comes with balls to make it into a ball pit for when she’s a bit older! I think this will last her a long time.
    The little pillow is very handy for getting her to do tummy time as she hates laying completely flat on her tummy!
    It isn’t very soft at all though, I have put a blanket in it to lay her on and have bought foam flooring to go underneath so she is comfortable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice playmat!

    This was fantastic as a playmat from when our little one was a newborn until she started to crawl and could no longer be contained! It’s adaptable and grew with her- we put the sides up when she started rolling and turned it into a ball pit (balls were included), which entertained her longer. The dangling toys were great as she started reaching and playing with things, and definitely bought me a couple of minutes here and there to get a cup of coffee!

    Bought this for my baby nephew 3 years ago. This was definitely one of the best presents I have ever purchased for him. Good quality. Amazing toys. Love the many options and how versatile it is as they grow up.
    Nephew made such good use of it. Easy to take anywhere if you want your baby to keep stimulated/ entertained.

    This product is great and has a good variety of hanging items and sounds the little ones can play with. Also brilliant it can turn into a ball pit. The mat itself is also great and very cushioned/ large when unfolded. The only drawback is I found was when the clips are attached and sides up with hanging items, it was a little too small for my girl (she was 3/4 months when we got it), and therefore it doesn’t last as long as some others where the sides are open and they can reach/ move etc.

    Well made with bright colours and lots of fun activities and it is very light to carry with functional carry bags for the balls etc.

    Comfortable materials that are easy to clean and we think that it is very well thought out. It is not cheap, but it offers all we need

    This ball gym is really fun for little ones. It has around 10 balls, toys and number cards, it can be converted in many ways, lots of ways to play with. However it is slightly overpriced for what it is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun but overpriced

    Bought this for my son in 2020 and looked fantastic but didn’t get use of it till he was a bit older (About 5/6 months). I paid 75 for this at the time and don’t believe it is worth the amount I paid but has been reduced since. The mat itself it’s a good size, great material, very comfortable and has a lovely print on it. The only thing is that he wasn’t keen on the bars been put on over the top but that’s probably because it was quite close to him and he looked a bit stuck under it. The bars would probably be best for a much younger baby who can’t yet sit up unaided. Only used the mat for a few months but it was great while he was interested in it. Would recommend but for a much younger age.

    This is a really great 4 in 1 gym for small children and babies. It is a really great and fun way to entertain them. I like all the different colours and the different designs as well as all the animals. It is really eye-catching for kids and adults too. It was delivered quickly and in good packaging.

    It is really sturdy and durable and the mat is really good quality, soft, and comfortable. There are many different activities, as well as 90+ songs, sounds and phrases. I like the fact there are three different languages, English, Spanish, and French.

    Overall, I think it is really good value for money and amazing for children. Recommended!

    My son has been absolutely obsessed with this since he was about 4 weeks old. He’s 15 weeks now and he laughs and smiles as soon as he sees the little elephant and the mirror. I would definitely recommend, one of the best things I’ve bought for him. I haven’t got him in the ball pit bit yet, but delighted that it can grow with him and last until he’s much older. Gives me a moment or 2 to have a coffee and watch him play from the sofa.

    This Groovin’ Kicks Piano & Drum Kick Gym by Bright Starts has got my baby girl purring, he loves reaching for the monkey placards and the dangling parrot. Now that she has learnt how to interact with the playmat via her foot pressing on the piano keys or the multicoloured drum pads, because of this she is constantly smiling.
    Everything about this mat is well thought out, including the colour scheme and the build quality. There are 90 songs and phrase to interact with, not to mention the 3 language selections.
    You can either use it as back facing or front-facing so the mat will grow with your child making more value for money.
    Overall a very good play mat.

    This is very well made and is great quality.
    Very versatile, you can adapt as your little one grows.
    Will keep them entertained as they grow.
    My 18 month old grandchild loves to still play with it.
    Worth the price tag, would recommend.

    I like this and it converts from an activity gym to a ball pit with a few folds and ties. The material is of great quality, nice sized, and folds away so it’s nice and compact. It is very easy to assemble, did not need to look at instructions. Lovely child-friendly patterns. My child has had lots of fun playing in the pit with the balls.

    Tried it with my nephew and he loves the mat, lots of stimulating toys that come with it. Great for tummy time. We like the music melodies. He loves the elephant, the lights, and the mirror. The toys can be removed so added to a pushchair or car seat too.

    It is lightweight and can be stored away without taking too much space. Just don’t get it too dirty as I don’t think you could wash it.

    This is a really good baby gym, I thought it might be a little large but it’s not bad at all, very easy to take visiting with baby, even comes with a nice carry bag, it seems very well made and is pretty easy to wipe down, putting it up takes seconds not minutes and you even gets the balls included, all in all, I’ve been really impressed by this baby gym, I absolutely love it, top marks all round.

    This bright start item is excellent- it has different uses which mean that it can be used from birth right through to probably around 18 months, perhaps even more (we’re not quite there yet). As well as being a baby play mat, the sides can be put up so it can be used as a ball pit. The set comes with 40 balls, and also a bag to store these in. It is really nicely made and designed and it all feels good quality. At first I thought it was quite an expensive item but when you think how much longer it can be used vs a standard baby playmate I would say it is worth it.
    The arch above the baby mat has lots of little toys that can be taken off, and also an elephant that has lights and sounds. I also like to be able to put the sides up on the mat as it means that it keeps baby a little safer and prevents from shuffling off the mat. Beautiful colours and patterns.

    Worth every penny, we would buy this ten times over.
    We were trying to find something to entertain our little baby boy who is 6 weeks. He absolutely LOVES this.
    There is so many different toys, patterns, shapes that he can easily spend hours in this and gives us another way to interact with him.
    So easy to assemble and can do this with one person. You can rearrange the different sensory toys to suit your baby’s likes.
    It comes with balls that come with a lion storage so it’s easy to tidy.
    One of the best things we have bought for our baby!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Would buy ten times over!!

    I gave it to one of my four-month-old niece’s favorite products-I love the way it transforms and grows. The items are also all in the factory, and the hanging items include mirrors for newborns to grab and many balls for ball pits. Because the baby likes to look at the color at the bottom. When lying on her back, she was very excited to grasp the hanging toy.
    Love, love, love this product.

    I have bought two of these over the past 3 years for each of my grandchildren. They absolutely love them. It has appealed the in different ways at different stages of development. I don’t know what it is about the animal faces but both have been fascinated by them. Some of their first gurgles and coos have been to the animal faces. The tummy time support helped them engage in another way with the animals and all the touch and feel mats. All the plastic rings can be sterilised needless to say they were soon going in the little ones mouths. My first grandson still loves using the mat as a ball pit and still plays with the elephant music and sound toy so no ‘pass it down here’. You can tell I’m a fan and think this product is worth every penny. That’s why I have bought it twice!

    I absolutely love this activity gym and ball out by Bright Starts – if you’re looking for something which will really keep your baby engaged, then this is the activity gym for you! I love the design, the Rainbow Tropics is bright and colourful, featuring rainbows and elephants – this is really cute. Eye catching designs to keep baby entertained.

    I love the fact that this can be used as a mat but you can also clip the sides up and make it a ball pit, the multi-use design is great. It comes with 40 balls in total. There are lots of hanging toys and attachments to play with, the elephant at the top plays music. The activity gym feels well made and durable, it’s great quality. Soft material so can easily be folded up and stored away.

    The detachable toys are a great feature – there are 7 in total such as rattle and a mirror toy.

    Really satisfied with this item – recommended!

    As described with very quick delivery. Really good activity mat, my son loves it at 4 months just starting to grab at things, also will cater for him as he gets older with the balls etc. The hanging toys are a little high so I put them on double hooks for now but plenty of areas in the mat to attach them. Detachable music and light elephant is great to encourage movement but is hard plastic so best not to let it swing on a hook. Easy to clean not overly padded but enough for carpeted areas. Very good quality for the money and the fact it will grow with them.

    Easy to assemble and clean. Lots of things to hang up. The little elephant is great too, he lights up and has various tunes. My daughter loves it. However the material is a little slippy for tummy time, but i just pop down a blanket and its fine. The mat itself isnt very thick. But i have put it on a rug and its perfect.

    We bought this more than 2 years ago for our first grandchild. It is now being used by our second grandchild and has stood the test of time very well. It is easy to clean and the numerous loops are great for attaching either the toys that come with it or other ones we already had. When I decided to buy a play mat for my niece’s baby I bought her the same one because we have been so pleased with it ourselves. It is versatile, sturdy, colourful and a fabulous all round baby activity mat.

    Love this product! It turned out better than I expected. My little one has enjoyed it since he was 4 weeks old. It was very easy to assemble, took maybe 5 minutes. The variety of toys are great that comes with it. They all make different noises and there’s even one that lights up and plays music (batteries not included but it just takes 3 AA). I also like how you can move the toys around in different areas and change them. The baby friendly toy mirror and head pillow is a nice touch. But my favorite part was the reusable cute Lion bag the balls come in. I had expected the balls to come in one of those disposable plastic bags and have to find something to keep them in so to my surprise they came nicely packed in their own bag! (It’s the little things)

    This is perfect for your baby from when they are born. They have varies toys to play with and plenty of room to move about. I especially love the ball pit capability of this baby gym. My baby has already got her favourite toy and always picks that one to play with. It’s very easy to clean which makes life very easy. It takes only a couple of minutes to set up, very easy.

    My granddaughter was given one of these, but I’d already chosen it as a gift for close family members. It’s a very versatile item. Babies are happy and safe on the playmat, entertained by the music and lights, as well as having lots of things to look at. Later, they’re encouraged to swipe at the animals, and they’re happy to roll over and move about in it. Even later still, when they’re sitting up, it can be filled with the safe and brightly coloured balls and it has yet another incarnation. It’s got quite a long life—a good 18 months-2 years. Recently given again as yet another gift, it’s been very well received. Highly recommended.

    I wasn’t expecting that my daughter would love this matt that much. Omg, she loves lying inside. We started using this a little bit early (1months) but each day she started to interact the toys and images inside. She is now 2.5 months and she can’t spend a day without dancing with her elephant. At night she loves the lights and keep smiling to the elephant. Small cushion is very helpful for tummy time. The matt itself is soft and durable, I also washed it with low temperature hand wash cycle and had no problems.

    We are very pleased with this mat – it’s very colourful and provides a lot of entertainment for our little one. The mat is maybe a tiny bit thin for the laminate/wooden floor – although it didn’t seem to disturb our child, we still put a towel underneath to provide extra softness.

    The flashing & singing elephant toy is excellent and became our baby’s best friend very quickly – he enjoys it when he’s quite and the toy works so well to calm him down if he’s frustrated, plus it’s singing non-stop which makes it very convenient for parents as there is no need to constantly switch it on as is the case with many other toys.

    Where to start!? My baby loves this play mat. Worth every penny. Comes with lots of little dangly toys you attach to the bars over the top. You can lay it out flat and put the sides up to keep baby and the soft plastic balls in which are provided. The little monkey attachment plays sounds which can be changed from calm jungle sounds to play tunes. Only gripe I have with it is that when the baby is sick on it I don’t feel like I can put it in the washing machine to clean it! I’ve had it 4 months; quality is still there but it’s become a little stinky

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis gets used every day!
    I have it on carpet which is about 200 years old and therefore not so sort. This definitely gives a nice layer of cushioning that my baby doesn’t find the ground hard. All the little bits and pieces that come with this are excellent, with all the different hanging items.
    The singing elephant is also very good. Not so much variety in the tunes so might drive you a bit mad. But then you can switch to rainforest sounds. I also dislike the strong blue light that is used, as am not sure on the safety aspect of it, so try to have it far enough away from my child when it’s on.
    Excellent variety in the open mat, closed with the balls, so it will definitely get usage for the 1-9 month period or so.
    definitely recommended.

    We use this everyday. He loves it. Toys are great you can put them on carseat or pram too. He also loves the wee disco elephant that flashes lights and plays tunes. I’ve pretty much used it every day since around three weeks. It’s permanently out in the living room. It even stores toys and nappies etc when not in use. Folding up and down sides are a great feature.
    The baby will seem a bit bemused by it at first when really young but will love it more everyday as they get older.
    He does his tummy time on it now too. I got it on sale and it was worth every penny. Put the sides up and you can eat breakfast etc whilst he plays safely.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOur 3m old daughter loves this – she’s particularly enthralled by the musical light up elephant! We bought some additional rings to bring the toys lower thanks to another review. The only real downside is the material is not water-resistant so if she brings up any milk whilst she’s lying down it’s just absorbed into the base which isn’t great as you can hardly put it in the washing machine! Shame the manufacturers haven’t considered this, but easily solved by buying a cheap yoga mat to line the bottom. Amazon sells one for 7-8 which is the perfect width for when the sides are up and is also the perfect colour so looks like its part of the playgym!

    I got this for my baby when she was just under 3 months, the first time I put her in it she rolled over from front to back. She was trying to reach for the toys and trying to grasp. I was amazed as how quickly she was learning new skills!

    It’s a great playmat I love the four walls cause I would often leave her in it and go off and do something else knowing she was safe. I stopped using the playmat with the toys dangling down around 6-7 months when she was trying to crawl as she would often just flat down the walls to the mat anyway. She occasionally uses the mat as a ball pit but loses interest quickly.
    The quality of the product is good. I have no complaints. The toys that come with it have a good variety and some are still her favourite toys to play with. I would highly recommend this, I wouldn’t really say it’s 5 in 1 I would say there’s probably two stages to the playmat but I think that depends on your baby.

    Golden Review Award: 25 From Our UsersI got this when it was on offer as I wasn’t sure whether it would be worth the full price.
    My daughter is 11 weeks old and starting to want to play. She had a different play mat and wasn’t particularly interested in it and actually cried whilst she was lay on it. So I decided to look for a new one.
    I came across this and bought it. It arrived and was pretty simple to put together. I placed my daughter on it and she absolutely loved it! She loves the singing elephant, so when we put her back in her bouncer we strap it onto that, too. We put the balls in it and she loves waving her arms about and hitting them. This is particularly good because my daughter has a flat head on her left side (she has had 3 brain operations on the right side of her head so preferred lying on the left side), and with the elephant being straight above her it means that she lies on the back of her head rather than just the left side, which we’ve been trying to encourage her to do with pillows to support her head, but to no avail.
    The bottom is also slightly cushioned, where as her other one isn’t.

    All in all.. this is a brilliant play mat. And I would definitely have paid the full price for it!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a great play gym. I looked at a lot of different ones, considered lots of options, read lots of reviews and in the end I decided to go for this one.
    It didn’t disappoint. It comes with lots of toys on it which is great, the cloud rattle has quickly become my daughters favourite toy. We added the spare links (such a great thing to include) and hung it from one of the higher loops. She’s 9 weeks old now and has been hitting it and it’s really helping to develop her motor skills.
    The elephant is great and creates a mini baby disco with the music and flashing lights. The different settings are brilliant too.
    I love that it folds into a large mat and that you can have the sides up if you wish. We’ve got a Labrador and having 3 of the sides up means she won’t accidentally step on the baby when she jumps up if someone knocks on the door.
    Our health visitor was very impressed with it when she saw it at our 6 week visit. She thought it was amazing with all the bits that come with it. She said it’ll be very helpful in baby’s development as there are so moana different things to do on it.
    I’m looking forward to when my daughter can sit and play with the balls in it, although I do have visions of her throwing them for the dog!

    I would definitely recommend this play mat to others.

    My baby boy loves this, and is lying in it gurgling away as I type this. Its a great help when I need to get some washing done or just get 5 minutes to brush my teeth!! It has many uses and can amuse him in many ways as he grows, he is lying down now and sticking his legs in the air kicking the toys and laughing at the musical, light up elephant. We also just had some tummy time on the lovely soft but supportive cushion. Once he can sit up he can play with the toys and no doubt chew on them! I love the idea that this can be a ball pit later too. For what it is, it is too expensive, however the fact I think we will get many years use out of this, makes up for the price and makes it worth it in the end. By the way the music is so cute and funky, not annoying at all!
