Contains fiberglass, causes rash

When my baby is on his back, he enjoys swatting at the toys... but when we do tummy time and his face comes in contact with the fabric, it causes a rash. I'm not sure if the rash has to do with the fiberglass batting (great idea for a baby product, huh?) or the cheap, rough fabric. Regardless, I would highly recommend looking for a similar product that doesn't contact fiberglass.

Keeps my son entertained!

We love this activity mat. My 11 week old son is learning to grab toys, and he "talks" to the animals as he reaches for them and bats at them. When we first purchased it he was 6 weeks old and he could really only stay on it happily for 5-8 minutes at a stretch, but now at 11 weeks he will enjoy independent play for a good 10-15 minutes - long enough for Mommy to put in a load of laundry! We also use it for the dreaded tummy-time, as it has flaps with crinkly noises that distract him a bit from how frustrating tummy-time can be.

Disappointed

I was disappointed in this mat, based on the fact that I was looking for something to encourage my 5 month old son in his tummy time. I thought the musical buttons on the mat would be great cause and effect fun, but they are hard to press. Sometimes he can make them work if he hits them with his heel, but then he has to be on his back which is not the point for tummy time! If you are looking for a gym for your baby when s/he is on their back, then this is a fine one to get. It folds up and snaps for easy storage. Unfortunately, ours is stored more than it is used!
