Quality and Comfort

Pros:

  • "It’s great quality, and easy to wash and clean."
  • "The material is comfortable and soft for his sensitive skin."
  • "Soft, non irritating fabric that is great for tummy time."
  • "This is super cute and comfy for your baby for tummy time! Lots of padding, fun toys."
  • "The small propping pillow is the perfect height for my daughter so that her back isn’t too arched."
  • "Love this and so does my little guy. It’s soft enough to put right on the floor and I love that the attachments are movable to different spots."
  • "The material is very soft and very easy to clean. Just grab a wet wipe and wipe it :)"

Cons:

  • "The mat isn't padded so don't expect it to be pillow like."
  • "It’s a teeny bit short and there is no cushion whatsoever."
  • "The fabric is a bit scratchy which bothered my fussy baby and me."
  • "The mat is nice, but the pillow is kind of small and uncomfortable for the baby."
  • "I was surprised by how thin the material is, so I personally would not lay it on hard wood floors, but instead only on carpet."
  • "Although this is cute, it's really not worth buying, in my opinion."
  • "The orange mirror’s fabric that comes with the tummy time mat, dyed my baby’s white shirt and face!!"

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "Adorable tummy time mat! My baby loves playing on this and it helps make the play time more enjoyable for her."
  • "The big bear face is very recognizable for babies, they stare, smile and touch it."
  • "The pillow props him up nicely!"
  • "The ribbon loops allowed us to attach a variety of toys so she was never bored."
  • "Love this play mat for my three month old, she loves the mirror and the under body pillow lends her the support she needs."
  • "The head of it props up keeping the toys within reach and gives my little one some more area to check out during tummy time."
  • "So cute! It’s perfect for tummy time AND for taking pictures on."

Cons:

  • "The flap to keep the bear's head in place is flimsy and the overall quality of the product is bad."
  • "The section that props up falls down easily, and the mirror isn’t very good quality and makes everything look warped."
  • "The bear part doesn't stay up well and by the time your baby can move their arm, it just flops down."
  • "However when we machine washed it per instructions the plastic structure inserts that helps prop up the head ripped up the fabric."
  • "The part that tilts up is only supported by flimsy cardboard feeling inserts."
  • "This product is so flimsy. The head falls down at the slightest movement."
  • "Once you flip up the front there isn't much room for baby."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "You cannot beat this price for all that is included. Great mat for newborns & tummy time."
  • "Save your money, forego the $70+ activity gym and get this instead."
  • "I got this on sale for $33 which I think is totally worth it."
  • "This is super cute, and a great deal for the price considering all that it comes with."
  • "So far, especially for the price, this was well worth it & I'm super happy with the purchase."
  • "Best tummy time mat for 30$, worth every penny."
  • "Extremely overpriced item. I think this baby mat is worth $10, not $40."

Cons:

  • "This is a waste of money. A towel and existing pillow would serve the same function."
  • "It doesnt hold babys weight when u prop them up. Your better off just laying a blanket on the floor and putting toys around them."
  • "Only complaint is that it is very thin and we had hard flooring so I will be using foam tiles under it."
  • "Honestly, I put him on it so I don't feel like I wasted my money."
  • "Terrible purchase... Get the Ikea play mat people, which is much thicker and bigger and almost same price!"
  • "I suggest you save your money, if you want to prop them, roll up a blanket, or buy a U shaped travel pillow."
  • "My baby was too big for it and outgrew it very quickly."
