Sale Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym
Definitely worth the money
I bought this while I was pregnant and started using it for my daughter very early on; I think she might've been only 2 weeks old. I read some of the other reviews and I think those kids might've been too old for this toy, when they are 3+ months old they are much more aware and more active and would want to do more than laying flat on their stomach or back for any extended period of time. This was my daughter's very first toy and she absolutely loved it from the very beginning up `til she was 3.5 month old! She would lay on it entertained for 20-30mins at a time which was enough time for me to heat up some food for myself to eat. She loved the lights and would smile & kick excitedly non-stop the whole time she's lying on the mat. I am amazed at the strength of her stomach muscles. In the beginning she enjoyed the lights more (probably because her eye sight weren't that great yet) then gradually she began appreciating the toys and especially the plastic mirror. She loves looking at herself and her own facial expressions. What I like about this: The mat is removable and washable. I totally thought the butterfly would move like a mobile too but apparently they don't...I eventually just took them off cause when I laid down on the mat and looked up at the lights the butterflies actually obstructs the view of the lights. I like that the music stops and then starts again when the baby kicks or make slight movement to the bars, based on the frequency of the music coming on I know that my baby is still active on the mat even when I'm not constantly looking at it. Oh, we also use it as a place for changing her diaper, the lights/toys keeps her entertained while we change her, and the mat serves as a good barrier between her bottom and our carpet (she's surprised us a couple of times and we've had to laundry the mat). Between her play time and diaper changing we definitely got our money's worth. 


Great for hours of entertainment!
At first my baby wasn't crazy about this so I thought it was a huge waste of money, but my baby is now 3 months old and LOVES this! It's great to keep him entertained for an hour or more. He loves to look in the mirror at himself. I like that it's got extra places to hang your own toys from. I would highly recommend this product!

Educational Must for Parents & Grandparents
Fisher-Price has certainly won me over on this bright, colorful gym. I have purchased FP toys for 25 years. Now as a first time Mom-Mom, I still go with the brands that I am sure will be a winner. My grandson loves the sights and sounds of the jungle tunes, with colorful animals hanging on loops that are adjustable and moveable. The blinking colored lights catch his attention and motivate him as he laughs and tries to speak to the animals. He exercises his limbs and sharpens his senses with this wonderful. creative and easily transportable gym. We purchased this at birth, my grandson is now almost 5 months and I am sure will use this for months to come.   
Great for home, not meant for travelling
This mat was a no brainer for me after getting the Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing and seeing how wonderful the colors and brightness of the product are. No, it is not meant for travelling and the mat is perfectly thick enough, even on my hardwood floors.

The only issues I had with it was the amount of time spent trying to figure out how to get the butterflies to move (they don't) and that there are no extra rings to add length (a little short for a 3 month old to view AND grab at the same time) or to attach more of your own toys. But those are insignificant and not problems compared to how many hours she has played with it and believe it or not, her activity on the playmat has tired her out so that she finally slept through the night! That in it and of itself makes this worth so much more than I paid for it, as far as I am concerned.

No matter which one you end up choosing, be sure to get a playmat. It was incredible how quickly she has developed since we bought ours a week ago. She "talks" so much more now, coos, smiles, laughs and just makes crazy noises and loves kicking the elephant rattle and looking at herself in the mirror. Also, I posted some customer images for a better idea. Enjoy! :D
