Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Open Play Musical Gym

We used this mat for about three weeks. At first it was fantastic. The baby was learning to grasp and spent a good amount of time staring at the various characters. We loved the wide variety of things to play with and that you could move them around so it always stayed fresh. Unfortunately, the two arms that are supposed to suspend the toys began to sag and the toys were on the mat two weeks later. The baby no longer had room on the mat because the arms blocked the space and the toys were too low to see. Because we loved the mat, we called Fisher Price to figure out if there was some kind of support we could rig to get the arms to stand up again, but no luck. Their customer service immediately offered to allow us to return it. Although I appreciate that they'll send a postage paid label, I still have to find a box large enough to ship this. Then it's 6-8 weeks for the refund. In the meantime I guess I'm shelling out more money for a new mat.

Love this gym! My 3 month old will stare at it for minutes (which is hours for an infant). Another reviewer pointed out that the two overhangs are low I've found this is not an issue if you lay your child in the middle and slightly lower than the bars she loves it. Great Fischer-Price product!

What I love most about this gym unlike the typical full overhead gyms this gym will still be used once the baby is sitting up. Most overhead gyms are relegated to the basement after the baby is mobile (according to my friends with older kids). A friend of mine with a one year old who's overhead gym is in her basement came over for a playdate. The one year old enjoyed sitting and playing with this gym (especially the mirror).

Once baby is strong enough to reach up and pull down on the toys dangling from the giraffe and palm tree arms in the back, they do not return to their upright positions. They're very weak, so once this happens, the toys are literally laying on the mat where the baby is supposed to lay. Poor design, and way too much money to pay for 2 weeks of fun before it gives out. Not to mention, the whole thing is on a fixed plastic square, so there's no way to store it. It doesn't fold up or get any smaller. It takes up valuable real estate on your floor 24/7 until you get rid of it.

The giraffe and palm tree arms in this musical gym are very weak. They can not hold the weight of the toys that the gym comes with. I have attempted to straighten the arms many times, but they continue to bent back really low. If no toys are attached, they stay up straight. If toys are left hanging on the arms, they hit the baby in the face/head.

Aside from the arms, the individual toys and the gym is entertaining for my 3 months old little girl. She enjoys the music and the variety of colors.
