Baby Products Reviews of Infantino Happy Hippo Travel Gym
Customer Review: Easy to transport
Summary: 4 Stars
My son enjoyed this gym from when he was 2 and a half months old and was able to follow the dangling toys. We bought additional rings to extend the length (and now he can pull everything to his mouth), and also attached other toys to the tube. I would have given it 5 stars for the fact that it is very easy to fold and carry to friends houses, it is small enough that can be placed on the bed and the tube fits standard rings (opening up a lot of possibilities), however the synthetic material is just horrible. I always put my son on a swaddling blanket instead of directly on the mat.
We never had problems with the tube flying (as the other reviewers mentioned) because our tube actually has little strings that can be attached to the mat to prevent any movement (maybe we have a newer model?)
But overall we hare happy with it as a second gym that is easy to take everywhere.
Customer Review: Cute but don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this for our LO because the baby gym was one of the items from our registry/shower that we didn't receive. I figured he would not really need anything special until he can grab at them, etc at first so this would be fine. I was wrong, the hippo is cute and my LO does like to stare at the hanging animals but it a piece of junk, the bar falls over forward and if I was not sitting there watching him it would hit my LO in the head! It is nice that it all zippers into itself but overall I would say to take the $20 and put it towards one of the $50 play mats like the tiny love mat or the FP rain forest one that seem to be safer and have great reviews.Customer Review: Works for us!

My son is almost 4 mos old and has been using this playmat for many weeks. He loves it! It was the first toy he really showed interest in--cooing and smiling at that baby in the mirror! We did just put a little bit of duct tape in the bases for the overhead bar and solved the problem of it popping out. We also move around the toys or hang new ones occasionally. Any of the many little linking baby toys work just fine. Let's face it... playmats are expensive. This one is smaller, portable, entertaining, and half the price of the others. Don't let the other reviews scare you away!Customer Review: Not a great design
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this playmat for our daughter and we have the same problems with the bar popping out and hitting our baby. She likes to play on it, but gets so scared everytime she kicks the bar and it pops out. Also, I think the toys are positioned too high. My 4 month old can barely reach them. Also, we have to lay her more towards the bottom for her to really even be able to see the toys. I do love how it zippers closed and is easy to transport. However, overall, I would not recommend this particular mat.Customer Review: great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this colorful gym mat. The bar does pop out, but it can be easily fixed - the gym has straps built in to hold the bar in place, or you can go "Heavy-duty" and use duct tape or something similar to cement it in place. I'd rather do some of my own fixing and adjusting to this gym, than be paying $80 for a cloth mat my baby spits up on. At this price, it's a great value, and very portable. Plus, it makes for GREAT pictures - Grandma will love a candid of your tiny baby in the big hippo's mouth!
