Melissa Doug Ocean Wooden Baby Play Gym Easy-Fold Baby Activity Center 5 Washable Sensory Toys Reversible Play Mat

Absolutely wonderful baby gym. I bought and tried a few others (trying to replicate the features of the lovevery) before landing on this. Very beautiful, soft, thoughtful design, adorable hanging friends, easy to assemble. I love how quick and simple it is to fold and store away. Nothing too much or too busy for baby. Very sturdy structure. Incredible value for money. Perfect for our little love. Definitely highly recommend. Read more

This play mat has truly exceeded my expectations in several ways. Firstly, the quality of the material is outstanding. It's sturdy enough to support my baby as he learns to roll over, yet it remains soft to the touch, making it a safe option when placed on our tile flooring. I can have peace of mind knowing that he can explore without the risk of injury. The design is particularly delightful; the sea theme captivates my son’s attention, and he just loves the turtle mirror. It provides him with visual stimulation and keeps him engaged during playtime, which is a huge bonus for both of us! I also appreciate how durable this play mat is. It has held up remarkably well to daily use, and when it's time to clean up, I can simply fold it up with ease. The setup process is refreshingly straightforward — I was able to assemble it without the need for any tools, making it convenient for busy parents like myself. Overall, I highly recommend this play mat. It's durable, versatile, and most importantly, it creates a safe and enjoyable space for my little one to play and explore. Read more

Love this baby playmat! Very sturdy but folds down small. Love that there are multiple options for placing the hanging toys and the mat itself is reversible. My baby seriously will stare at the crab toy and smile for minutes at a time 😆 Read more

Originally I was looking for a playmat similar to the lovevery playmat, and I was gonna buy it used until I saw this playmat for a fraction of the price. My baby’s nursery is ocean themed so it definitely helped me sway towards this option. I’m so glad I picked this instead! My baby loves this thing and we use it everyday. It’s super engaging and I love how it has a black and white side for newborns and the colorful side for an older baby! It’s super easy to set up! You can also fold it up and put it aside so perfect for travel and small spaces! 10/10 recommend! Read more

An amazing product at a great price! Sturdy design, easy to assemble and the pad washes up really well if you have a spitty baby. I love that the pad is reversible so you can use black and white for high contrast tummy time or flip it over and let your baby see the colors. Read more

Love this! Wanted a lovevery but it’s not in the budget. I love the high contrast side but also an option to have the colors as well. Super easy to take apart and throw in the wash if you need. I also like that you can fold it for storage or travel. Read more

I was blown away by the quality of this play mat, especially for the price (got it while one sale, don’t think I would think that if it was full price after using for four months). I’ve watched kids who use the Lovevery play mat and when I got pregnant debated getting one before finding this play mat instead and I’m so glad I picked this one. Pros: -the mat and toys are all machine washable, and look brand new still after being washed (first thing I did when it arrived to make sure they would actually hold up in the wash, they do!) -toys are really good quality and super soft (the crinkle star even held up just fine in the washer and dryer without getting misshapen like other crinkle toys do) -easy to set up and take down with the click of a button -toys can be removed/moved based on baby’s age to best suit development -mat is very thick and comfortable for baby but still can be easily folded -love that it’s double sided for different stages of development and that the colorful side has little strings and a clam for baby to explore when older -open arch makes it easy pickup and lay down baby without any difficulty Cons: (Edited now that I’ve used this for a few months) -Velcro easily wears out on the toys so occasionally they’ll fall on your baby (the turtle with the mirror on its belly has plopped on my baby’s face more than once and the octopus can’t actually be pulled by my baby with out the Velcro flying off) -baby can’t easily roll over while playing with the attached tummy time activities on the mat without hitting the wood (the crinkle shell should have been attached where the wide opening is to mitigate this and the ribbons moved to under the archway) Read more

Great option for a grandparent’s home - unlike many others, it compacts nicely when not in use. Washed mat on cold gentle cycle and air-dried and it looks like new. Read more
