Summary: 4 Stars
This playmat is a staple in our daily rotation. We live in an apartment & space is an issue so we didn't register for a lot of toys. However, I really wanted a playmat & researched a lot of different ones. This had gotten good reviews on another site & I'm glad we got it. We've been putting our now 3 month old daughter in it since she was just a couple of weeks old. She loved looking at the pictures on the side walls & the crinkling sounds of the leaves on the floor of the mat. Now that she's older, she focuses more on batting the overhead toys with her hands & feet & looking in the mirror. We actually don't even keep the musical bee in the playmat, but instead take it with us in the car. As any parent can appreciate, its songs are not really all that "offensive" (read: annoying) to parental ears. True, it does go on for a very long time. Just when you think it's done, it'll start with another song, but they're actually quite catchy & I've found myself whistling them even when it's off.
Sometimes this play mat is the only thing that will quiet her when she's fussy & doesn't want to be held. It's a saving grace when I want to jump on the computer, start dinner, or just get some "me time". She can be in here up to a half hour which this Mom always appreciates especially since my hubby works 2 jobs & isn't always around to relieve me. I've even put her Boppy & her Bumbo in there just so she has a different point of view & she's loved the change of scenery.
My only con & the only reason why I didn't give it the full 5 stars is that I wish it'd come with more toys to interchange. My daughter has grown quite bored of all the standard toys that come with it. I've bought some new ones & am constantly trying to switch them out to keep her entertained. The orange bee teether is pointless (at least till she starts teething). The color isn't all that bright & she's had zero interest in it. I would've rather they included something else.
All in all, this is a terrific playmat & compared to other pricier models, a great value. The pictures on this site don't actually do it justice. The colors are much brighter & more vivid in real life.
