Baby Products Reviews of Baby Einstein Seek & Discover Activity Gym
Customer Review: Look elsewhere for a tummy time mat/toy bar
Summary: 2 Stars
I put this on my baby registry, received it, but now wish I had done more research. This gym is essentially a blanket with a few toys hanging too far away from a baby's reach.
The toys do not hang down far so it's impossible for any baby to reach them unless multiple plastic rings are put together from the other toys. The light/musical star is really irritating -- the musical tones sound awful.
Don't be wooed by the 'Baby Einstein' theme. This is too expensive for what you get and I really believe you are paying for the name (the DVDs are good, specifically Bach and Mozart). If you're buying this for tummy time, there's nothing special about it. If you're buying it so your baby can grab at objects, it's worthless. My son loves his $9 Sassy Bugs on Board that are attached to his car seat.
I wish I had seen this tummy time item before my son was born: Lamaze Spin & Explore Garden Gym.
Customer Review: Without this I would have never survived!
Summary: 5 Stars
My child received this product as a gift when he was 3 weeks old. He absoulutly loved it from the start. The first day he got it he was able to sit by himself for at least 15 minutes. I was able to get some things done and have a minute to myself. He loved looking at the star and learned very quickly that when he kicked the bars that the music turned back on. The motion dectecter is great. This is the best gift I recieved. My son also liked to kick and pick up the bars with his feet. It was amazing to watch. My son is now 5 months old and is always on the go so the gift is kind of wearing itself out but once in a while he will still lay down and watch the star. It is also nice because the toys can detach. He loves chewing on the birds beak. The only downfall is that the batteries don't last that long. I would reccamend this product because without it I would not have survived those first few months of parenting.Customer Review: My son loves this!

My husband and I bought this before our son was born. We liked the bright colors and the toys hanging from the sides, as well as the musical star. I thought that it would be a few months before our son could use it, but we put him in it at 4 weeks and he immediately was hooked! He could activate the motion feature on his own at 8 weeks and loves the lights on the star. I love that everything is moveable, so as he grows we can increase the difficulty level. People have complained about the rabbit picture, but I put a picture of our family's faces in the holder, and my son will gurgle and talk to them instead. He loves grabbing the round rattle and talking to the lady bug and bird. It is so fun to watch him in his gym that we took it with us out of state when we visited the grandparents! Be sure to keep the plastic container it comes in so travel is easier. I would DEFINITELY recommend this gym to new parents!Customer Review: Fun with Friends

My son loves his play gym. At first he was only facinated with the lights on the star, but has moved past that stage and will spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour batting at, tugging, and "talking" to his "friends" as I call them. This is a wonderful product. It's easy to pack up and go and best of all, the toys can be interchanged with other link toys. Right now, he is really into crinkle books. I have one attached to the links and he giggles for the longest time trying to get it into his mouth. I also like the prop-up pillow. Once he is tired of laying on his back, I switch him to his stomach and take the bird and his book off and set it in front of him. He plays with them as though he had just set eyes on them for the first time. I leave the rings on b/c it's easier for him to grab the toy and bring it to his mouth. All in all, this toy has been a life saver. It is well worth the money.Customer Review: best play gym out there!

We love this product!Our son is two months old, and we've been using this gym for one month now. We first tried the tiny love(black, red and white)gym and our son wasn't interested.I wasn't impressed either. It was boring, and had only a few toys. We thought it might have been his young age, but when we put him under this one, he loved it! A friend also recommended we get this gym. The colors are so bright, and our son loves to look at the large faces on the animals/toys. He also loves the musical star with the smiling face.The motion sensor is a great idea. I think that the headrest(pillow) that came with the gym is great for our son who has reflux and isn't supposed to lay flat after eating. It props him up just enough.We use this gym a few times a day, and every time it brings a HUGE smile to our son's face.The mat easily comes on and off for washing too, which is a plus! This was a great gift.
