Baby Einstein Contrast Activity Newborn Reviews Summary

Assembly and Setup

Pros:

• "It was very easy to set up. Just inflate the outer ring and fill the inner ring with water."
• "It stays secure in its place with the simple leg locks and straps."
• "It folds up easily so can be tucked away when not in use."
• "It has clear instructions on the bottom so you don’t have to worry about keeping the packaging."
• "It is very easy to assemble (took me about 10 minutes) and the material makes cleaning a breeze."
• "It went together easily!"
• "Pros- It was easy to put together.-The directions were simple to follow."

Cons:

• "The outer edges look sturdy in the picture, but they’re not, and the heaviest part is held up by like, three joints total… and those don’t even want to stay put!"
• "The arches don't stand up easily."
• "The arches on this are not connected well and my daughter collapses them all the times."
• "First it’s so bulky and takes up a lot of floor space and you can’t fold it to store it away easily."
• "The screws do unscrew very easily."
• "The only downfall is the screws on the keyboard legs come off easily with her active kicks so we're constantly reattaching them."
• "The piano moves a lot when baby is kicking it."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The material is very durable and very easy to clean."
• "Perfect little mirror for tummy time. Soft but durable."
• "It seems pretty durable (the neighbors kid who’s almost 45lbs jumped on it a few times without issues 😂)."
• "All baby proof. Mine lasted perfectly through 2 babies."
• "It’s very cute and colorful."
• "This is an overall good play mat. Not great but not bad."
• "So far, I have found it durable and fun!"

Cons:

• "This item was already opened and obviously used. The box looked like it had been opened and stuff crammed inside like it had already been returned by someone else!"
• "Opened the box to this item and EVERYTHING in it is absolutely filthy!"
• "The stickers are coming up a little bit in some places already."
• "Drawbacks would be that it doesn’t stay propped up very well and within a week it was covered in scratches."
• "It started to leak after a few month of using and we didn't notice as the hole was on the bottom of the mat."
• "The piano already went out and that is my daughter’s favorite part."
• "However, the mat became very fragile after washes and started to fringe on the edges."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "It’s colors are perfect for developing eye sight and for keeping their attention."
• "The piano keys are quite sensitive, which means it responds to her touch really well."
• "The piano plays tunes when the baby stops interacting with it."
• "The included teether is a great texture for our baby."
• "The piano stays on but doesn’t keep making noise unless he touches it, so when he leaves and comes back to it, it plays again."
• "The music is constantly going and it actually isn’t annoying."
• "Great for infants learning to engage."

Cons:

• "First mirror arrived warped and scared my baby because she looked deformed in the mirror."
• "No idea how to get the piano into another language."
• "It's unfortunate that someone spent their money to gift me with something and I didn't even get everything that comes with it."
• "Mirror is warped and looks like a funhouse mirror. I would expect better quality from a well known brand such as this one, unfortunately that was not the case."
• "The music and light show combo is a bit 'spastic' and might be too much for very young babies."
• "The play mat is so slippery that he ends up pushing himself up the mat and the piano becomes out of reach."
• "Also, my kid really loves interacting with the panda toy. However it’s really heavy and hard plastic and I’m just waiting for him to hit it too hard and have it come flying back at his face."
