5 Stars GREAT TRAVEL ENTERTAINMENT!!
GOT THIS FOR MY GRANDCHILD. THEY TOOK IT ON VACATION TO THE BEACH. WELL MADE AND LOTS OF ACTIVITY FOR HER.

5 Stars favorite
This is my babies favorite toy. I don’t know how many times it’s given me an extra second to heat up a bottle or grab a diaper when she’s fussy. She loves to look at the octopus and smile back at him. I think she’ll probably carry him around when she’s older.

1 Star Misleading Title is Misleading
As I excitedly tore open the package of my brand new Baby Einstein Baby Neptune Ocean Adventure Gym, I thought eagerly of how it might banish the banalities of my everyday. I could almost feel the plush, multi-colored fish beneath my trembling fingertips. It was as if the six classical melodies were already crooning to me as I relaxed on the prop-up whale pillow, my every care melting away. Anticipatory drool began to dribble down my chin as I imagined the On-the-Go plush teething octopus clenched gently between my canines. The thought of detaching him from the gym structure and taking him absolutely everywhere with me was almost more than I could stand; we would be inseparable. I knew that next week’s arrival of Jacque, the Lamaze Peacock, would complete this blissful outfit. And at only 34.5 x 31 x 19, it was sure to fit in my cubicle at the office.

When the box arrived, I asked my secretary to hold my calls for the day so I could spend some quality time with my new entertainment center. The website assured me that my soft activity gym would “come to life with the crisp and colorful real life scenery of the sea.” I took it out of the box immediately and followed the minimal assembly instructions, anticipating a mind-expanding voyage into the deep. With bated breath, I laid my head upon the whale pillow and waited. Turning my face to the side, I screamed in horror at the sight of my sagging, weary face, caught in the flash of the baby-safe, fish-shaped mirror.

Nobody told me a mirror came with this thing. And I don’t own mirrors for a reason. Last summer, my girlfriend found me locked in my bathroom, staring at the mirror while repeatedly slapping my cheeks and screaming the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody over and over in the shrillest tone I could muster. They had to break down the door and drag me out, shortly after which Wanda dumped me for our mailman. I haven’t looked in a mirror since. But I digress.

The point is, folks, that I’ve had adventures, and I’ve been to the ocean. And this product, though promising both, offers neither upon arrival. Promotes trilingual learning? More like trilingual horror. I’m sending this goddamn octopus and his cronies back from whence they came.

5 Stars Entertaining
This is much more entertaining than some of the other themes I have seen out there. It has much more for the baby to do and look at and interact with. There is music (which you can detach that piece and use on the crib) and lights and the big whale with lots of places to hang different things and switch it up. Gotta have this. Don’t always go for just the things that LOOK cute. This looks cute and gets the job done!

5 Stars We’re having a blast!
The baby einstein gym has been really helpful with baby’s tummy time and early development. She especially likes the mirror and octopus attachment. I appreciate how helpful it’s been setting it up next to my desk as I try to get a few chores done.

3 Stars Cat loves it!
Overall, I think the playmat is just a playmat. My biggest complaint is the quality of the toys hanging. The day I took it out of the wrapping, the mirror fell out of the plastic holder. It’s bright and has flashing lights, and just like Vegas, full of cheap material! The kid hangs out on it for a little while before getting bored, but the cat loves it, and for that, it’s priceless.

5 Stars Awesome Play Gym!!!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TS691GLNGV50 My daughter loves this product. At first she laid there and looked at the lights and the she started hitting the toys, which eventually turned into grabbing them. Now at three months she is turning ove on her side to get to the toys better, she is almost turning over.

5 Stars Fantastic Item!!!!!
My child loves this item. The lights and the animals make her smile and wiggle. There is so much for her to touch and play with. Also washes very easily for those little spit-up problems. This item replaces another baby gym by Infantino that bored my child after turning 2 months. She is now 5 months and still loving this item after several weeks of play.

5 Stars Great for baby’s entertainment and motor skills
When I 1st got this for my daughter, she was only 1.5months old and the blinking lights were enough to keep her entranced. As she got older, she started reaching for the toys more and now, she’s fascinated enough by the toys that she flips from her back onto her belly and back onto her back to better play with the toys. She didn’t and still doesn’t bother to flip around unless she’s on this playmat – it’s just so much fun!

5 Stars Very convenient and durable. We love it. Its adorable.
I got this activity mat when my son was 8 weeks old. He loves it. The music isn’t too loud nor the lights too bright. The animals/design of the mat is adorable too. He loves that monkey!! My son just turned 4 mos and he now grabs the toys to hear them rattle and he pushes off the big giraffe with his feet to reach things. The mirror is a big hit too. I recently discovered that Fisher Price has a great website that you can order replacement parts for cheap! The entire bag of toys that comes on this activity mat are $9 to replace. I love it! Overall, I definitely recommend this product. It is a little pricey and I had a hard time breaking down the top part to take with us on vacation but I think the good far outweighs the bad. The mat is extremely durable too.
