Baby Products Reviews of Baby Einstein Seek & Discover Activity Gym
Customer Review: Great toy for motor development
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is now 6 months old. She started using the gym at about 2 months. In the begining she couldn't touch anything, so she was more interested in the star. This started to blink and sing when we would stimulate the gym. We attached some link-a-dos to make toys more accesible to her. She started to bat at them. I watched her grow. From batting, to reaching and cross-reaching with her hands. We took the link-a-dos away now, because she can actually reach the toys. This is one of her favorite toys. Lately, she started to pull on the bars and pulls the toy over her. It's not hurting her, but we need to be around so she won't get scared of being hidden under the mat. I think she outgrew the toy :( I would recommend this toy to anyone who wants some piece of mind; to a mommy that wants to do somethings for herself while the baby enjoys her or himself. Anyways, great toy.Customer Review: Very disappointing

I read about this mat online and was impressed by its reviews. So I registered for it and received it as a shower gift. First, I must say my son LOVES this mat. There is a little star that hangs at the top and plays music and lights up. He loves to watch it and sing along with it. (He is 3 mos. old) Unfortunately, the star has broken TWICE. The first time it just stopped playing after only a few weeks. I called the manufacturer and they sent a replacement. GREAT. So, I was using it and after about 10 hours of play it stopped working. I called the company again and they said the stars are on backorder for 3 mos.!!
So...while the mat is great and my son loves the star, the silly thing doesn't work. I would have to say NOT to purchase this mat. There's nothing worse than having your newborn like something and then having it taken away.
Customer Review: not as good as i thought
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my 3 months old nephew. The only thing he enjoys is the blinking musical star (of course the battery die after a week of use - low battery life). The mat is small and the material they use is not soft, it's a bit too rough for a baby's skin.
Another thing i disklike is ... too many tags. Each item has 5-7 tags, the edges of these tags are sharp ... my nephew scratches himself with the tags on the mat. He was trying to roll over, so he as kicking ... and these tags are not so easy to remove. I tried to cut them out ... but it's a difficult task because i don't want to cut into the material. The bird, duck, ladybug, mirror, picture of a rabbit ... every single piece comes with many tags. Why? It's for a baby, and these tags hurt them, and removing them is a chore. Even once the tags are removed, you can feel them ...
Customer Review: boo
Summary: 2 Stars
I am very disappointed with this playmat. I purchased it because I figured since it was a Baby Einstein product, it had to be good. Plus, the reviews for it were excellent. First of all, the playmat is too small for my boy. He is an average six month old (19 pounds, 29 inches). Whenever he rolls onto his tummy on this mat, he ends up halfway off the mat. Second, the musical star only plays three very short songs. My boy gets bored of the repetition. Third, when I purchased the mat, I liked how vibrant the colors were. After a couple washings, the colors have faded and the mat looks like we've had it for a lot longer than we really have.
Don't get me wrong. My boy does like to chew on the animals and he will look at himself in the mirror occassionally. But the mat only entertains my boy long enough for me to brush my teeth.
Customer Review: Great Investment
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had this playmat since my son was born and he LOVES it! At first he would just lay and look at the toys and we would turn the musical star on for him but now that he is active he kicks and grabs and can set the musical star off by himself with the motion setting and he can't get enough of it. He loves the dangling toys, especially the cardinal and all of the velcro attachments. His favorite is the musical star that plays music and lights up.
It is also easy to clean, you can throw the mat in the washer and dryer (even though the tag says not to put it in the dryer I haven't had a problem). The toy attachments can also be thrown in the washer and dryer for easy cleaning.
I strongly recommend this play mat, it is by far a great investment that will keep your infant entertained for hours at a time.
