XP: Recommend your activity gym

sundaesprinkles

We have the fisher price kick and play piano gym which DS likes a lot but it seems like lately he doesn't last long on it before he fusses. I'm thinking he might be getting bored with it sometimes. I read some reviews of other activity gyms on Amazon and one woman with another type of gym mentioned that when her child started fussing, she just moved him to a different area on it so he could see other toys and he was happy. So I think I'd like to get one of the normal bigger gyms to switch out with the piano one. 

So far the Tiny Love Super Deluxe Lights and Music gym and the Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo gym look good to me. Does anyone have these and can give me their opinions on them? Or recommend another type?

We have the Tiny Love deluxe gym and it does the job fine and you can switch out and substitute your own overhang toys on 2 cross bars for variety.  The music is tinny and limited and the lights and mat 3D elements were never a big hit as DD didn't like tummy time on the mat. She did like the big mirror and the colors.  At 2 months, your baby will not be entertained by anything for more than a few minutes, so perhaps it's not the mat itself,  but just a typical newborn behavior.  Every baby is different, so there's no one mat that is guaranteed to be a hit with every child.

Our friends have one of the Skip Hop gyms.  Honestly, I find it way too pricey and it doesn't "offer" much (no lights no music).  We have the FP Rainforest gym and we used it for DS from 2wks old until he was 6 months.  He was able to "play" with different parts of the gym at every stage.

We have the Kushies Shangrila play gym. It's amazing!! It's double sided with one side of the blanket is black and white and the other is bright colors. There are tons of toys that are velcroed and there are also pieces you can Velcro to the blanket for tummy time with mirrors and different textures. DS LOVED it!!!
