GaltToys, Playnest & Gym - Farm, Baby Activity Center & Floor Seat, includes 1 x Inflatable ring

This playnest is great for the development of motor skills as well as cognitive processes. The patterns and various textures encourage exploration and the inner-tube definitely facilitates infants sitting up.1) the colors are vivid and full of contrast so your infant will be able to explore and discover at their leisure which is great for cognitive development2) the inner tube provides support and allowed our infant to engage abdominal and back muscles at her own pace as she became comfortable. The hanging toys also encourage such3) your infant can be position on its back or belly to give them ample time practicing on both4) you’ll be happy you purchased this as it’s versatile and your toddler would be able to use it as a playnest as well

Amazing! Much better quality than I was expecting. The cover is spit up resistant material allowing easy cleanup. The intertube is plastic and appears durable. The hanging toys are large and have good crinkly sound compared to our Fisher price toys, and they are two to three times larger. My daughter enjoys them and the butterfly toy is one of her faves and stays with us at all times. As she grows, she uses it differently. When she was smaller we put a pillow in the bottom and she laying in it looking at the mirror. She is learning to sit now and this provides her gentle support. She loves the different textures and scratches at the fabric. After several months of daily use, it still looks new and is holding up well! Best buy so far ( we have been using for 3 months).

Item ripped as soon as I put it together and top does not stay up

Very cute and colorful. I was hoping that my 4 month old, who can't yet sit up, but loves her baby Einstein mat, could use this now. However, the hole in the middle of the tube is too big, so it doesn't support her. Once she can sit up on her own, I think this will be fun for her. She does seem to like the colors and the crinkly hanging toys. The instructions say if your baby can't sit up, to just deflate the tube a little and have her lie on it, but I prefer the Einstein mat for that. The tube is a bit hard to blow up. I like it enough to keep it, but I'm not sure if I'd but it again at the price.UPDATE: my daughter is now 16 months and still loves this tube. We long ago took off the arches, but she throws herself on the tube, we spin her around in it, and sometimes she lounges in it. I still think it's expensive for what it is and probably ideal for babies in the 6-8 month range. Once they can pull themselves up, the arches have to go as they are not sturdy.

This was the best purchase for our son - however, the inflatable ring loses air and has to be blown up a bit every few days. I did NOT have a problem with the gym/hanging pieces!!

I bought this for my 6.5 month old. I wish I had it way sooner. It's perfect and just the extra toy we needed - it bridges the gap between the play mat (laying down) and the jumperoo (standing up). It gives her just the support she needed as she was starting to sit. But it would be good for younger babies too if you deflated it a bit so they can easily lay down in it. Anyway, I give her a plush talking toy and she sits in it and plays happily!

I had high hopes that this would be a fun little play area for our baby, but it sits alone, unused in a spare room now. The huge problem is that the "legs" that cross over the "donut" part of the play center absolutely do not stay up. Like, at all. We tried every which way, brute force, hopefulness, and even discussed duct taping them together, and figured at that point it's not worth the effort and we'd just use it without the legs. The issue with that approach is there just isn't enough things to do/play with for our baby to stay interested. So in the spare room it sits. I'm really pretty shocked that this made it out of the factory this way.I'm giving 2 stars for the beautiful, bright colors. Otherwise it would be a 1.

We just got this and my 4 month old isn't really able to take full advantage of it yet but he still likes it. If the tube holds up long enough for he to grow into it, this will be a great play area for him for weeks/months to come. It has different spots all around the top of the tube area that are crinkly or fuzzy or soft. It has extra holes on the bars to hang extra toys. If we need to take it somewhere it deflates and folds up so it doesn't take up a ton of space.
