Bright Starts - 5-in-1 Your Way Ball Play Activity Gym & Ball Pit - Totally Tropical

UPDATE: my daughter is now 3.5 months old (had this for almost 2 months) and it keeps getting better. She’s had so many firsts on this mat. She’s learned how to roll from tummy to back already and is almost rolling from back to tummy. To mat is nice and soft for her to roll around on. She is ADDICTED to the monkey playing music and really starts kicking her feet like crazy while looking at herself in the mirror. It’s held up so far thru two poopy diaper explosions, 2 good washes and lots of drool from a teething baby! She plays on this for hours throughout the day about 30 mins at a time!My 7 week daughter LOVES THIS! The music is cute and the two sound settings are wonderful because personally I think the loud switch is a little loud but the softer sound is ... MoreUPDATE: my daughter is now 3.5 months old (had this for almost 2 months) and it keeps getting better.

The music is cute and the two sound settings are wonderful because personally I think the loud switch is a little loud but the softer sound is perfect. In the beginning she was drawn to the toucan (I’ll assume because it was mostly black and that’s the colors she can see first). Now she is starting to reach and swing for it. She is just starting to look at herself in the mirror as well. I can’t wait to use the balls as well once she can sit up on her own. Overall this is a fantastic play mat!

Entertainment

My 8 month old son loves this play gym.He will happily sit and play for ages while I am able to get a few things done. It comes with some cute accessories including a mirror, rattles and a light up elephant which battery operated.It also comes with a separate bag of balls which comes in a handy carrier which makes it easier to keep the balls safe and tidy. It’s great for sensory benefits and when my son goes to his grandparents we bring it along to keep him entertained so he can play and roll around.I would definitely recommend purchasing this for your little ones.

Fun fun fun

This ball pit is my new best friend! I worried that she was already too big for it at 11 months old as I missed out on using it when she could just lie in it and look at the many toys that comes with it, as well as using the tummy time pillow. But there are still so many play opportunities! I love the fact that you can put the sides of the play mat up or down so that you can fill it with balls! My daughter spent ages sitting between the balls (that comes with the mat in a handy bag) and then crawling after a ball if it escapes. The arches that can be removed, also has a net with holes so you can pop the balls through or later they can do it themselves. This caused so many giggles! The arches can be removed when baby gets too tall the sit up straight.There are also ... MoreThis ball pit is my new best friend!

Teether, bead chaser, flash cards, noisy toy, mirror, rattle and even an elephant that makes sounds and lights. This truly is such a versatile baby gadget and something we now use everyday.

Great buy!

I bought this when my little one was three months old. At first we used it with the sides up and as she grew we let them down. The light up elephant plays lovely tracks and even features a 'touch to play' setting. It also has an off button which is a plus! Now that my little one can sit upright we have removed the overhead arms and use it as a little ball pool. She still enjoys playing with the accessories and elephant.

I & my little one are enjoying this 5-So much fun!

I & my little one are enjoying this 5-in-1 Fun Activity Gym. This grows with the baby and provides unlimited fun during various stages of the newborn. It also has 20 mins of melodies playtime which keeps the baby engaged for a long time. For starters, this can be used as a gym by small babies by kicking and grasping the colorful toys that come along with it. When the baby is ready for tummy time, use the provided plush pillow for support and use the oversized mat to keep the baby playful. As the baby is ready to sit, fold the sides up to make it a ball puddle & use the ball pit mode to play with the baby to enjoy those precious moments. It has a bag that can be used to store the balls when not in use. And when the teething time comes, convert this gym into a toy bar ... MoreI & my little one are enjoying this 5-in-1 Fun Activity Gym.

This is one baby product that can be used regularly and is worth all the money spent on it. It can also be an ideal gift for a baby shower. Mat is machine washable and doesn't require much maintenance.

Love activity gym

This is one of our most used and most loved items. I wasn't sure how he would like it or if we picked the right once since there are so many available, but I am so pleased with this! It is good quality, easy to clean (baby spits up sometimes!) has wonderful bright colors and cute, friendly characters and great toys. They are easy to take off for him to play with and offer a great variety. Love the rattles, mirror and especially the elephant. It does not attach on like it shows in the picture but as it should, faces down to the baby. He does LOVE lights and animal sounds and laughs and talks back to the monkey and elephant sounds. There is a BIG difference in the volume levels between animal sounds and the music. I wish we could make the animal sounds louder but it ... MoreThis is one of our most used and most loved items.

There is a BIG difference in the volume levels between animal sounds and the music. I wish we could make the animal sounds louder but it is loud enough for him to hear. The tummy time pillow is great also, it's the perfect size and gives him the little help he needs. It will be so nice when he gets bigger and can use it as a ball pit, I'm sure there will be balls flying all over the house but I think he will really love it. It was very easy to put together and is a great activity gym. Our son could lay here for hours entertained by everything.

My child loves it!

I have been looking at this sort of thing for a while now, so I’m glad that I decided to try this one.It’s absolutely amazing! It has multiple combinations of use, i.e I use it as a large flat play mat for my youngest child, but then I also fasten up the sides and add balls to use it for my older child as a ball pool.This comes with lots of sensory toys and teething rings etc and both my children absolutely love this product. It is very well made and survives been climbed on by 2 toddlers very well, which others that I have tried in the past haven’t.I would 100% recommend anyone looking at this to just take the jump and buy it now. You will not regret it!

So Versatile and Fun!

I really love this 5 in 1 Your Way Ball Play Activity Gym. It is so Versatile and can be set up different ways so it is always fun. The mat is very soft and large. It has bright colors that keeps baby engaged. The sides of the mat can be tied up to make outer walls or laid flat for a larger mat. I would say that is my favorite feature because I have a toddler and I like putting the sides up to give baby her own area. As she grows the sides will go down so she has more area to crawl around. This gym comes with many toys so there is always something to keep baby entertained. The balls are a fun addition. I like that it came with a ball keeper as well for easy storage. This gym is easy to wipe clean when needed. Overall, this has got to be my favorite baby item.

The Best Christmas Gift

This was a hit with our 3 month old - we put her on the mat with the walls up but without the hanging items. She loved looking at the animals on the side. Also, prior hated tummy time but likes it since she can look at animals on the side. The light up musical elephant was a hit too. We held the elephant and also propped it up for her. She likes the crinkly hanging ornament too - we just disconnected it from the poles and let her hold it. We haven't introduced the overhead pieces or ball pit area but so far this is a huge hit that will grow with her as she gets older.

Very impressive!

I was dubious over how this could impress me given the amount of these products around and compared to a lot of activity gyms out there. I’m pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend it to parents, child minders, grandparents.With little ones you often end up with a room full of activity based toys such as playmats, arches, ball pools, changing mats. These all take upSpace which often people don’t have (not to mention the collective cost). This changes all that with its multifunctional style allowing to swop and change easily to suit what you need. It’s lightweight and compact when needed to be transported. Again two ticks for me.You receive the ball pool balls so no need to purchase these. Another bonus.Great as an early sensory aid. Nicely designed ... MoreI was dubious over how this could impress me given the amount of these products around and compared to a lot of activity gyms out there.
