My Precious Baby Activity Play Gym MOAPG

I'd been searching online for something like this for my baby - a plastic, retro-style play gym. He already had a play mat with attached arch and dangling toys but it was a little impractical - the arch would constantly flop over on to my baby or so that the toys were out of his reach, and the toys were attached with Velcro which meant that my baby often pulled them down as he was playing. I wanted something more stable and solid. I also wanted something more portable, so that I could place it over a softer mat or the moses basket etc. This product was perfect.I first found this on The Range website for £12.99, but unfortunately they were out of stock so I ordered it from Amazon at the higher price of £19.99.I'm really glad that I bought this. My 4 month old loves it. I notice that the description says suitable from 6 months but I think it's fine from 3-4 months. It's slightly smaller than I expected, but then it doesn't need to be any bigger. The toys are all easy to reach for baby. He uses it on his play mat, but it also fits over his changing mat/wedge (as seen in the photo I've added), so baby can play more comfortably. It doesn't topple over like the fabric one and the toys don't pull off. My baby can also use it when I'm holding him in a sitting position in front of it, or when he's on his tummy time prop pillow.The hanging toys are lovely and I like that you can detach them and move them to mix it up so that the same toys aren't always in the same place, or you can remove them completely and replace them with different toys - I add other things like his Oball rattle. Each hanging toy has two links, so you can add/remove links to change the height of the hanging toys. The spinning toys at the side also provide additional entertainment for my baby.The box that the play gym comes in is quite compact, so it is easy to take the play gym apart and put it back in the box for storage. It was quick and easy to put together - just a few clicks to snap the parts in to place.Overall an excellent play gym which I would recommend.UPDATE: my baby is now 7 months old and this play gym is still his favourite thing. He's played with it daily since I bought it.

I bought this after purchasing a fancy "all-bells-and-whistles" baby gym from mammas and papas for my first baby - which was such a faff to set up and when it was it took up the whole house ... which resulted in it hardly ever being used and a complete waste of money!!BUT THIS BABY GYM IS FANTASTIC!!Easy to move around with house with you and baby, love the retro look of the toys babies love plastic and hard things to chew / grab. Baby loves the teddy and the ball and the mirror and the bits on the side bars to play with.She is very happy playing with this gym and I am happy as it's easy to set up and store away when baby is in bed. easy to transport around the house, toddler can get stuck in to as its quite sturdy - been used as a "climbing frame" a few times by the toddler too (haha)highly recommend this product !

The colours are great and my baby really likes the spinning fan type toy. It’s really easy to attach different toys, teddies etc to the gym so you can keep it interesting. The set is poorly made though, the legs don’t click into place as the holes don’t match up. The links are slightly too big so you have to really force them into the holes.

On our third child, and in the past we've gone for all the fancy jazzy (usually more expensive!) toys for our little ones. However, this time around we are wiser, and thought we'd go for the cheaper option. Mostly because it seemed it would take up less space, and, lets face it, they don't use them for long! Product arrived today and we absolutely LOVE it, as does our 9 week old baby!! It is nice and low meaning he can reach all of the toys, he had a good old play on it bashing and jabbering on with himself! And, as expected it doesn't take up much room at all! Much prefer this over these big pretty mats with fancy arches etc, that after a few days seem to get in the way! For the money it is amazing :)

My granddaughter loves this, she’s 4 months old. Bright toys & mirror attracts her attention. Just had one problem with it when putting together, one of the legs would not easily push into place. Took a few goes & a tin of spinach but eventually clicked in !! I would definitely recommend this over any others I’ve seen, even the expensive ones ! Great value for money.

I thought this was going to be another waste of money as my son has a sit in gym that he couldn't care less about. I was at my wits end trying to find something to occupy him to give me time to sort my toddler out at bed times and getting ready for nursery. The gym is handy as it can be placed over baby with ease. It is easy to assemble. My son loves it. We were having trouble getting him to roll at 5 months but this seemed to have encouraged him as he tried to grab wheel at the side. Glad I bought it.

This is a good old fashioned baby gym. I like it as it's completely free to move around the house etc, without being stuck to a play mat. I've got a very large separate play mat and the two work well together. My 8 week old loves it.The plastic is a bit flimsy, but nothing too bad. Also you can remove the toys, add other ones you may already have etc.A good product.

Bit disappointed with this item. Although it's bright and provides young baby with bright objects to focus as they start to focus more the toys hang sideways. It's easy to put together however one of the legs on the one I received wouldn't click into place and has been secured with tape. Also the plastic is very hard and brittle making it not very robust/sturdy.
