Product Description

Bring the exciting world of the rainforest to life with the Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym. This fun, interactive, and educational activity centers encourages healthy development while entertaining and calming baby. Designed for use from birth on up, and requiring two "C" batteries (not included), the gym has a soft quilt and offers music, lights, and nature sounds to keep baby safely occupied.

Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym offers:
  • Interactive gym helps encourage healthy development with music, lights, nature sounds, games, and textures

  • Super-comfy floor quilt gives baby a soft place to rest or play

  • 20 minutes of parent-activated continuous music; three different play modes for variety


Tummy-time play with five linkable toys that can be reposition for your baby. View larger.
Comfortable, Colorful Design
This bright and cheery activity center features a quilt with a silky border and colorful arches supported by an adorable giraffe. A variety of links let you attach toys up above or down below to capture baby's attention. A cushy monkey, jingly toucan, cute elephant, and parrot with spinning paddle invite baby to bat them around, an action that helps develop gross motor skills. You can also place baby on her stomach for some back-strengthening "tummy time." For added excitement, there's a spinner with rattling beads, spinning butterflies, a shiny mirror, and a crinkly leaf.

Three Modes of Play
To suit baby's mood, this gym offers three modes of play. In the first mode, baby's movements set off eight to 12 seconds of lights and music, which helps teach your child about the relationship between cause and effect. Another option is the music mode, which develops baby's auditory sense with 20 minutes of continuous music. Finally, the rainforest mode plays 20 continuous minutes of rainforest sounds while baby plays or simply relaxes--don't be surprised if he's soothed right off to dreamland!

This activity center measures 20 x 32.5 x 32.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 4.7 pounds.

What's in the Box

Great playmat!!!!!
 
Review Date: June 10, 2007
Reviewer: L. Aubin, Gardner, MA
My son has been using this playmat since he was 2 months old. He is now 7 months and still reaches for it daily. He has learned to flip it over so he can reach the higher toys. I have yet to replace the batteries and everything still works great. The music plays for quite a while so you don'thave to keep running over to restart it. My son also loves the crinkle leaf and zebra tail on the mat itself. Since he has been rollling over, he can now chew on them and it is one more thing to keep him occupied! I highly recommend this line of products!
great!

My baby has been fascinated with the lights and hanging animals since 6 weeks. Nice music- more upbeat songs for when active, and quieter rainforest sounds for when getting sleepy.
Loads of fun!

Reviewer: J. Richards, NYC, NY
My little guy has loved this gym since he was 8 weeks old. At that age, he couldn't really interact with it, but loved looking at the lights and the butterflies, which I had to manipulate manually. Now that he's almost five months old, he enjoys hitting and kicking the elephant rattle and swatting the parrot toy! His favorite parts have got to be the removable toucan and monkey--they go with him everywhere! And they're so easy to wash (and they air dry beautifully) after he's chewed on them. The mat washes nicely as well.

The rainforest sounds are gentle and soothing and have lulled him to sleep when he finished playing. There are parts of this play gym that he has not noticed yet such as the crinkle leaf and the cubs tail (both attached to the mat) and the toys can be placed in different areas so that play is always different and interesting, so I expect him to continue enjoying this play gym for a long time.
The Greatest Toy Yet

Reviewer: Kristen's Mom,
I bought this gym for my daughter when she was 4 months old. It showed up the day that she got her 4 months shots. She was very fussy so I put her in the gym and she completely forgot about her discomfort. She loves to play with the toys that hang down and has the best time. There is not a day that goes by that she does not play in the gym. She even will let you know that it is time for her to play in her gym. So far this in the best toy I have found!
Worth the extra money

Reviewer: Katie Kate,
My three month old loves this gym. She isn't very good at entertaining herself yet, but she kicks and plays happily in this gym. The toys are easy to move around and keep her attention so mom can get a thing or two done around the house!

The music is much less annoying than many other toys & the nature sounds actually sound pretty nice. It also is great for tummy time. This product could replace a tummy time mat, a bouncer seat & many other toys.

I'd recommend spending the extra money to get this over a less expensive gym.
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.
