Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I found this product really good! I think the design is brilliant, lots for a baby to look at and touch. Really like how you can move all the toys around on it. Really bright colours and the little musical foot and hand pad is fab. Baby seems really comfy on it as the mat is padded I found thicker than most play gyms on the market. I really like how you can put the sides up on the mat. Easy to move around and fold to store and also very easy to put together.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
So easy to put up within minutes. My baby doesn't seem bored after a few minutes meaning I can do other jobs while he's happy playing. I’ve also found the mat is a lot bigger than most play gyms meaning I can get down on the floor and lay next to him showing him the toys etc. Perfect also for tummy time. Really like how you can move the dangle toys around also.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I’ve found when folded up the play gym does still take up a bit of room. So I’d love to see it being a bit smaller when not in use.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
My baby loves this play gym, at first when I saw the price of the product I wasn't really sure it was worth it, but my opinion soon changed once we started using it. The play gym has so many differently features, colours and textures to keep my baby entertained. I really like that the toy bar is low enough for him to be able to reach and grab hold of the toys. The foot pad is what makes this product stand out from other play gyms and my baby really enjoys the music.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This product keeps my baby happy and entertained, it has helped us practice his rolling over using the right toys and music as an incentive for him. The play gym is easy enough to pack away and is flat enough to transport in the car, we took it to Grandma's house.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I wouldn't change anything about this product.
Tested by mum Stefania Fleming for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
My baby likes the product but I think it is quite expensive for a play gym. It is quite big and takes up a lot of room when it is set up. My baby enjoys the foot sensor pad and kicks to hear the music.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would maybe lower the price of the product as there are similar play gyms on the market that don't cost as much.
Tested by mum Natalie Leaney for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I love this kick and play mat. It is great the way the sides fold up to make baby feel secure, it is low hanging with the toys which is easier for baby to grab and play with. The mirror always grabs my little boy’s attention and he loves staring into it. The flaps of material that are on the mat and the parts that make noise grab my little boy’s attention and it is the best product of its kind on the market.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It makes my life easier as a mum because it keeps my little boy occupied for ages which means I can get on with bits whilst he is playing. It has helped him learn to grab toys and he is still learning to use the music where they use their feet and hands.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I wouldn't change anything about this product I love it and think it is the best thing on the market at the moment.
Tested by dad Adam Males for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
There is adjustable heights for accessories, so baby can reach at different levels. Various textures on the mat itself and the mirror is a good add on for tummy time. My little one loves looking in that at himself! Keeps my child occupied.
How does this product make your life easier as a dad?
It keeps my child occupied and entertained for a longer period of time. The edging strip provides safety as child cannot roll free.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would change the pus pad as the play function has not worked particularly well with my little boy. He has hit it and it doesn't go off, you really have to hit it for it to make a sound.
Tested by mum Jenny Paige for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I would recommend this to a fellow Mum because this play gym is very entertaining for my baby. It is brightly coloured and comes with several hanging toys including chimes, teething toys and rattling soft toys. The overhead bars to hold the toys are at the right height to allow my baby to try and pull on the toys whilst laying down. The gym comes with a big mirror which is attached safely. The 'Kick and Play' pad also attaches safely. There are two sides, one for feet to kick to make the sounds and hands on the other side to play with. You can change the settings to play continual classical music or to have the sounds play when kicked or touched. The play mat itself has lots of different colours and textures. It can be clipped into place to create an enclosed space or left unclipped therefore making the mat bigger. The mat is machine washable to keep it clean. It folds up easily to store or transport.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This makes my life easier as a mum as my baby is very entertained while playing on the mat. He is confident and happy to play amongst the toys. He loves holding onto the textured and crunchy fabric flaps to help hoist himself on to his sides. It provides my baby with a clean and personal space for him to spend time on the floor either on his back or tummy.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I wouldn't change anything about this product as both my baby and I love it!
Tested by mum Anthea Carr for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
This product would get my recommendation because it is very entertaining and interactive for the baby. The hanging toys feature different textures, noises and colours. The baby loves to try and pull on the toys whilst laying on the mat. There is a kick board that plays sounds and music to encourage the baby to kick and play with it. The play may is brightly coloured with lovely pictures in it. It also has areas where it crinkles, has a squeaker and a big mirror. The mirror is great! The baby loves to lay on his tummy looking at himself in the mirror. The mat is a big size and can form a border to allow the baby to feel enclosed or it can be left down to create more floor space. The mat can be washed easily to maintain cleanliness.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This makes my life easier by my baby being able to play safely and be entertained by all the lovely aspects of this play mat. It washes and dries quickly so we can have continual playtime whilst keeping clean.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would make the kick board more entertaining by making more sounds and have different types of music.

So stimulating and entertaining even from a very young age. Just to look at, you can see all the clouds and features and brimming to the top, a brilliant toy to grow with baby, hand and feet coordination too.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
My baby was happy to lie and play for literally hours!

Nothing, thank you.
