Little Tikes 5-in-1 Adjustable Gym

Little Tikes 5-in-1 Adjustable GymI have a unique perspective because this was purchased for my son who is disabled. Because of a brain hemorrhage at birth, he is mentally delayed. He really enjoys these types of activity centers. This one is great because of the spinning cylinder with beads. The problems would be that the buttons are so high that a baby sitting on the floor can't reach them. Also, the spinning things on both sides of the cylinder don't spin very well unless the toy is positioned just right. Because the toy is for my son, I haven't had a chance to try out the drawing surface on the back side. Just an FYI, my wife thought it would be like a white board but it isn't. White board markers don't easily erase.

I am surprised by some of the low reviews. This is an amazingly versatile toy that goes a LONG way for your money. The ONLY way to fairly review this product is to see how well it holds up over time because it really grows with your growing baby. Let me explain...

We first got this as a gift from a relative for our son, who was 3 months old at the time. He could barely reach it while lying on his back. Kind of disappointing, but propping him up closer with layers of blankets underneath him did the trick. It wasn't his most favorite toy, but it kept him busy for couple hours each day.

Then he got big enough to crawl, so we adjusted the gym for his size. Still not his most favorite toy, but still played with it for an hour or two each day.

Then he's 9 months old. We adjusted the gym once again. While his other expensive toys came and went as he outgrew them, the baby always seemed to go back to this gym. It just looks new to him each time it is reconfigured into a different way.

Then he's a year old, and could sit. We adjusted the gym to become a sitting bench area for him, and he would sit on it for half an hour at times. Not his most favorite toy, but still very useful and kept him busy, especially if he wanted to play with a toy on the flat side of the reversible tabletop.

Now he's almost 1.5 years old. Most of his toys received as an infant were packed away or given away because he outgrew them, but not this Old Reliable still going strong and still sits at the center of his playpen.

So yes, it's not the most entertaining toy or the next Tickle Me Elmo, but I don't know of a single other toy that could be used from the day a baby's born until he's 2 or 3, do you? For $35, that is an amazing value, and that's why this product should deserve nothing less than 5 stars for all the mileage you can get out of it. All these other low reviews only reflect a snapshot of time, such as when it is first purchased, and not how it fares well over the years.

When my oldest wasw younger I had a similar item that made noise and lit up when he kicked it, this however does not compare. One kick and the Gym is out of reach and it didn't even activate the lights. Waste of money, very disappointed and i wished i had purchased the first item I considered rather than going with this.

I have been wanting to write a review about this product for so long, but didnt know where to start. We bought this 2 years back, when our daughter was 6 months old, and she has been in love with this product even since. Little Tikes has been her companion from infancy to toddlerhood and she loves to spend time with it even today. Total value for money.
