I love it; she loves it; we're good
Bought this for my 3 month old because, quite frankly, it just looked too cute to pass up and she needed more toys. :) She loves it! She stays under it talking and checking everything out and it's so much fun for me to lay next to it with her and watch her discover everything. Even her older siblings (5 & 4) love to rearrange all the toys and keep it interesting for her. I also love that it can be a tummy time mat. There are a few cute little 'touch' features on the mat, but it also includes a few toy loops across the edge. I use plastic links to connect from one loop to the next, then attach toys to the links, so she has a little chain of toys that can't get too far out of her grasp. The colors are great and the animals are adorable. The only thing that kept it from being a 5-star for me was that you need a teeny screwdriver (eyeglass size, probably) to open the battery compartment. We've had it for a week now and I still haven't found my little screwdriver to check out the electronic features. Still, it's working out really well for us, and if it's anything like the matching mobile and Jumperoo, I expect that I'll still be pleased with the purchase.

Best thing we bought for our baby!
My son got so much use out of this Rainforest Gym. We got it for him when he was 3 months old. He took to it IMMEDIATELY and used it almost every day for months. He absolutely loved this gym!

At first, he liked to lay on his back and watch the lights and try to bat at the toys. As he got bigger, he really liked to whack all the hanging toys, and soon he was big enought to grab the butterflies hanging from the "ceiling".

My son wasn't really into tummy time, but the mirror on the giraffe really helped. Once he got more mobile and started rolling, he really enjoyed the crinkle toys and the tiger tail. He even liked pulling on the empty rings on the mat.

This gym was a lifesaver. There were so many times when this was the ONLY thing that would make him happy. He wanted to be in his gym listening to his music and batting his toys. In fact, the majority of our home movies of him from 4mos-6mos old are him in his gym. (smile)

He still plays with the hanging monkey and the toucan.

We got the most bang for our buck out of this baby item. It was worth the money and then some.

Dalton Loves It
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful. He doesn't want to stay in his bouncy seat long. He doesn't want to stay in his jumper long. But he loves this thing. The lights, the butterflies, the monkey is his favorite and he just recently starting turning over so he goes after the giraffe. He could just lay there and play until he gets hungry ofcourse.

What a fantastic activity mat.
We got this as a gift and my son loves it. He was mesmerized by the rainforest sounds and lights. Even though he is almost a year now he still enjoys this toy.
I would definitely recommend this.

Great Gym - Baby Loves It Months On...
I love this baby gym, and so does my daughter (now 6 months). I inherited it from my in-laws when she was just a month old. At first she would just lie there and look and the pretty lights and dancing butterflies (our fan made them move) but over time she began kicking the tucan bell and crinkle leaf, then hitting the elephant rattle and parrot spinning thing, now she chews on monkey, plays with the leaves in giraffe's mouth and looks at herself in the mirror.

What I love about this gym is the variety of toys:

* bell tucan which she also enjoys chewing now - it's beak is made from a colourful satin which must feel nice in her mouth. she also loves nibbling on the back felt feathers and little feet.
* plush monkey with satin curly tail
* elephant rattle with soft plus ears
* parrot flipper that easily spins when batted at
* red froggy mirror, perfect size for her to hold and with firm edges to chew
* pretty satin butterflies that dance in the wind
* big crinkly leaf, easy to kick and grab

As my daughter's arms have gotten longer, she now plays with the butterflies and gym poles. She can sit up now and play with the ears of the giraffe. It's have to be her favourite toy.

The music settings are great too:
* two volume levels - loud and soft
* can play music or ambient rainforest sounds (e.g. crickets, frogs, bird chirping) which is very nice to listen to
* also has a 'rattle play' option where the gym plays a short snippet of music when the gym is shaken

The music tunes loop about 3 or 4 times then the gym auto-switches off, which is handy to save battery power as I have left it on a couple times accidentally.
