had it for 7 years
January 23, 2018
This is a great product. Ive had it for nearly 7-10 years and its gone through my friends kids and made its way back to me. After 5 kids, with an upcoming baby I decided to replace the batteries, and accidentally un screwed the wrong compartment, and the arm snapped off.

I bought this for my baby. I love how easy it is to assemble all parts altogether... but then I've eventually realised that once you plugged all parts in, you can't disassemble it. And it's really annoyed me because I could not put it back to the plastic storage bag properly :(.

I've searched everywhere on the Internet for help. But it was hopeless :(...

Wont stand steady
March 2, 2017
I had an old Fisher Price activity gym that my first two kids just LOOOOOVED. It had four alternating lights and great music so I thought this newer edition would be even better. WRONG. The biggest issue I have aside from the lights and music not being as good as the older playmate I had is that the arches do not stand upright. The butterfly arch is fine but the giraffe and stand alone arch totally do not line up correctly. I'm wondering if my item was stored incorrectly at the store or what, but it's pretty bad because I feel like it can fall onto my baby's face at any time! What the heck! Unfortunately, can't return this since it was a shower gift. Wish I could get my old mat back, but I gave that away already.

Love the lights!
September 21, 2016
My daughter has been using this activity for almost 5 months now, and she really enjoys it, especially the lights. I like the vibration option, which helps her begin to understand cause and effect as it requires her action to turn on the lights. It's also nice that the toys can be linked and moved, as she likes to play with some toys on their own. The only drawback that I have found is that it is rather large and we have not been able to fold it up. However, we received a travel one for a gift, and just bring that with us when we go places, so it really hasn't been an issue for us. As a stationary mat, it works well.

not impressed
August 5, 2016
My 4 1/2 month old got this for a gift I was excited for her to use it because of the lights and sound feature. But when she started to pull on the animals the arches began to twist as it it was going to collapse on her. I wasn't impressed its almost as if the giraffee is to heavy. This is the second fisher price product we have had an issue with in the last month

Disappointing
July 15, 2016
I got this for my baby and she is currently 2 months old right now and it has already broken. If she touches any of the toys dangling from the bars, the bars immediately twists. It just seems very poor quality for such a price. The place that clicks into the bottom of the hutch does not snap in.

Great Toy Baby Loves It!
May 11, 2016
Bought this 3 months ago and baby loves it! So much in fact that the very first song the gym plays is her favorite and she goes nuts for every time it starts. We do not know the name of the song (so ended up making up words to it - which is probbaly why she loves it so much). We would love to know the name of the song so we can buy the song for her. Can you tell me the names of all the melodies the gym plays?

Baby loves this gym!
April 30, 2016
This was a gift for my son when he was about a month old. He smiles whenever we lay him down and proceeds to kick and grab at the toys around him and even gets upset if the music doesn't come on. I do however wish that the mobile moved . Right now he thinks its fun to raise up his legs and try and swat it so we are on our way to some strong core muscles :)

Not worth it
April 27, 2016
My baby is 10 weeks and this has already broke. The music constantly cuts in and out you have to hit the top of it to get it to play and 10 seconds later it cuts out again. I have changed the batteries several times, but thats not it its defective. This is 1 of 2 fisher price products I own and both have broke within the 10 weeks of having my son.

There is a reason that ...
April 19, 2016
There is a reason that this play gym is an award winner year after year. We do not have this play mat for my youngest baby, we have a different one from Skip Hop that was gifted to us by my mother, but we did have this with my first born and he absolutely loved it. Unfortunately our basement had flooded and ruined the playmat, we were still able to salvage some of the hanging toys though and my youngest does play with those. I much prefer this playmat to the one that we currently have and the one we have no was even more expensive. My son's favorite was always the lights above and the music, he was mesmerized by them and we loved how they would respond to his movements. There are several adorable toys above for baby to play with and they aren't too high where baby is going to get frustrated trying to reach them. My son especially loved the giraffe and the mirror hanging off of it, you can also connect and of the other toys to the giraffe as well, but we did it exactly how it was displayed. There are always link hooks around the playmat to hook the toys or any of your own to the playmat. It is very easy to put up and take down and if needed the mat can be thrown in the washer. There are so many toys as well as the dancing lights and sounds that baby is not going to get easily bored, my son would play under this mat forever, he would even take naps under it sometimes while the rainforest sounds would play. I incredibly regret not purchasing this for my second child and still actually consider repurchasing it for him because I know they he would love it. If anyone ever asks what playmat I would recommend, this is the one they I always mention, you cannot go wrong when buying this playmat and I guarantee you that your baby will love it and enjoy as much as my oldest son did.

April 17, 2016
Received as a gift and didn't last 3mos. Music just stop playing and there doesn't seem to be a place to replace battery?? My daughter loved it for tummy time and was a good product when it actually work. Disappointed that my family spent money on this and now it doesn't work.

Music Just Stops Working
October 28, 2015
I used this product for about a month and my little one loved it. The music and lights would keep her entertained for quite a while. Then, all of a sudden, the music just stopped working. I would hit the top of it and it would start working again. I tried changing the batteries and the problem persisted. I took it back to the store it was purchased from and I was able to replace it. Just this morning (day 2 that I've had the new activity mat) the exact same thing is happening. I've made sure to screw in the top extra tight, and put brand new batteries in it, and its still happening. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this same problem, but the fact that this has happened to two of these mats is very annoying and it doesn't say a lot for the quality of the product.

Disappointing Product Upgrade
October 27, 2015
I purchased this product after seeing one owned by a friend who had purchased theirs 18 months prior. But the one I have is different to the older version and I can only assume the changes have been made to save on manufacturing costs. Firstly, there are now only 2 lights at the top (which alternate in colour) as opposed to 4 lights on the older version. This change is extremely disappointing given the changing lights is the highlight for newborn babies, so dropping it from four down to two is huge! The butterflies are made out of a cheap felt on the new product, whilst on the older version they were made from a quilted fabric and were much more durable. This is the same for the ears on the elephant, which are now made out of the same cheap felt as opposed to the luxurious quilt fabric on the older version. Finally, and I am not sure if it's the same on all gyms or if mine shouldn't have gotten past quality control, but the seams on the giraffe on our mat don't even line up so the white of the face is misaligned. Very disappointing given the price!

Good Toy!
October 13, 2015
I bought this toy for my baby girl and I like it very much! Its a good quality and very interesting to keep kids attention. But I have one big problem i would say. In the packing there was an istruction manual how to assembly the toy and that was the easy part. Now I have to move and to change the apartment and I dont know how to disassemble the toy for easy packing and carriage. I tried the revers from assembying but the tubes doesn't go out from each other and I am woried if I use bit more strnght that I will break it. Any Help??

Disappointing Update
August 11, 2015
This was my son's favorite playmat. He used it all the way until he started walking and ended up just using it till it could barely stand on its own. So I unhesitatingly asked for a new one for my daughter, just a year later. Well the new mat we got was very disappointing. The bars used to be round and soft to hold. Now they are flimsy fabric over hard square plastic. The giraffe used to hold the batteries. Now those are up top (which is good), but they left the giraffe all sad and empty. They could has stuffed it. Anyway, I still like the mat and the toys, but was very disappointed to see the quality drop so obviously between the one we got in 2013 and the one we just got in 2015.

We started using this shortly after we brought her home. She loved it. It is durable. She had a lot of reflux and super easy to clean up. Washes super easy. The music was great as well as the nature sounds. Love the extra hooks to add other toys to play and grab.

My son loves, but it stopped working :(
July 4, 2015
My 5 month old son loves this mat, but we've only been using it about 2 months and the sounds and lights just stopped working. :(. My son will play with the toys, but sometimes he just likes to watch the lights. It folds easily, so it is great to put in the he car and take to grandma's! Although he can still play with the toys, since the light and sounds stopped working it doesn't keep his attention as long anymore. I tried changing the batteries, but there is no response. Sad it didn't last long :(

Almost perfect!
May 27, 2015
My daughter absolutely loves her Rainforest Deluxe Gym. We started placing her on the mat when she was only 3 weeks old and she loves it ever since. The light and sound keep her interested while she tries to grasp for the toys and looks at the mirror. Her very favorite toy is the elephant rattle. Every time she's loosing interest we shake the rattle and it's back on. My only disappointment is that the light/sound does not work properly. The gym needs to be in the perfect upright position for it to work and even so, it goes off every few seconds so i have to be there and fix it all the time so she can keep enjoying her play time.

My Daughter Loved It for Over a Year
April 29, 2015
My 15-month-old still lights up whenever this music plays. From birth she loved this rainforest, though once she could roll over, her favourites were the white tiger's tail, the crunchy leaf, and the tag itself. We've all heard these songs a thousand times, and they are such a part of our memories. We laundered the bottom dozens of times, and the underside finally starting coming apart, but we were pretty hard on it. We used it daily, and it was a lifesaver. Plus she really loved it, and hasn't stopped playing with it. I wish we could download a high-quality version of these songs, as my daughter loves them and they make a great lullaby. For those wondering about the songs, they are: Animal Fair, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Skip to My Lou, and Are You Sleeping?

Disappointed with quality - doesn't work
December 31, 2014
My 9 week old got this for Christmas from her grandparents. I really wanted to love it! It rated poorly with us as it came with 2 faults - the first, one of the lights doesn't work, no biggie I can live with that! The second deal breaking fault is that the butterflies don't spin! Unfortunately as it is a Christmas gift we don't have the receipt and the packaging got thrown out with the Christmas wrap - rookie first time parent mistake we won't be making again! Tip to new parents - test your toys first! We are now unable to return it! So disappointed given this is an expensive play mat and it is faulty - not happy fisher price! Without these faults you would have received 5 stars but having to manually soon the butterflies to hold my babies attention means this is an unusable toy for us.

Mobile doesnt work
September 15, 2014
I was gifted this product at my baby shower in February 2014. I assembled this product in April after birth of my baby. While it held my baby's interest through lights and cute toys, the mobile never worked. I have tried everything, but it refuses to work. Don't know what to do.. Can any representative help me with this??

would be great if it worked
January 12, 2014
I was not sure what to rate this because overall it seems like a good activity mat with toys that will keep a baby entertained. However, there are two quality flaws. One is the monkey which hangs by its tail but it always falls off... that is a very small deal though. The other is the major deal breaker for me. I understand some things come with defects from the get-go but what happened to quality checks and such. The butterfly mobile has not worked since we bought the product. And every time I try to fiddle with it to get it to work it just seems to fall out and hang there. The quality of this connection is not good and it is the main thing I wanted this for while he is still young and cannot play much with the toys. I am very disappointed. We bought it early but saved it for Christmas and now it is too late to return it and all he can do is stare at butterflies just hanging there, with no movement. Disappointing!

My baby loved this play gym!
January 11, 2012
My baby loved this play gym so much that she used it way longer than just back and tummy play. When she got older and could sit, she loved being eye to eye with the animals. And she learned really quickly how to get the music playing (kick one of the poles). The only downside is that this gym is bulky and does not fold up for storage. My gym is at least 3 years old, so not sure if the new model does fold.

Great Product
December 21, 2011
I absolutely LOVE this product...I should have written this review months ago but better late than never. I originally had registered for another activity center which I received but I totally was not thrilled with it and glad i didnt settle! This product was a life saver for me and my son loved tummy time because of it. The colors, the music, the fact that you could attach your own toys to it was great. Most importantly it was very easy to clean and store away. Just to give you an idea of how much my little one loved the toy, he would "bat" at the toys in his sleep it...it was the funniest thing. . Thank you Fisher Price

4 songs?
December 11, 2011
My baby has enjoyed this jungle gym from the start. He loves the lights and music and even has fallen asleep in it. We were wondering the title of the four songs? We know there's skip to my lou, baa baa black sheep, but what are the others? We got this as a baby shower gift. We wish it was a little more easy to take on trips bc our baby loves it!

Read the discription!
November 5, 2011
I noticed alot of people said that this item was misleadingand that you arent getting what you paid for. But im going to say that people just need to read the description. It says that there are spinning butterflys at babies touch. So that means when your baby hits it that it will spin. It does not say that it has rotating mobile. So for anyone who is reading those reviews just know that they did not read the decription.

I have twins and therefore have this product as well as the Luv U Zoo Gym. The Rainforest gym says that the butterflies spin, correction... they do not spin. However, the Luv U Zoo gym does have a spinning mobile. My daughters like to look at the lights on this, but that's about it. I'm sadden because every thing else I own in the Rainforest collection is great.

Great toy
August 15, 2011
We love this. It is attractive and we don't mind having it out in our house. Also, children often engage and concentrate better with only one or two items available. So, I take off a couple of items at a time and our daughter really loves the toys available from it. It is also a fun place for her to be when I need a little space. She loves it. Also, we had a three year-old over recently and he really got a kick out of it. We put a blanket over the top and he got inside and just had the best time with the lights and sounds on.

Otherwise it is a great playgym and my daughter loves it.

LOVE this playgym
June 16, 2011
I am saddened as I am putting this away today. I have LOVED having this playgym. It has been my most favorite item for my son to play with. From the very begining he has loved playing with it. As a newborn, he would even fall asleep while laying under it. Even now, as he crawls and pulls up, he will still crawl over to it and play with the toys hanging off the loops. I love the loops because I have rotated other toys so he had a variety of things to look at and play with. I 100% recommend this playgym over any other. I will miss it and will be so glad to see it again when baby number 2 comes along! Just remember to keep the box it came in...that's my only regret!!

I got this for my baby shower along with another theme from FP. The other one is about half the price and holds the babies attention just as much. The major problem I have with it, is that the butterflies in the middle DO NOT move - neither do the leaves. If it had the moving parts that the rest of the rainforest theme did it would be well worth the $70 price tag.

Our baby girl LOVES this jungle gym! Best purchase I have made yet for her! This holds her interest for 45 mins (at 2 months old) which is a lifesaver! The music plays for 20 mins at a time. The lights are very stimulating and she kicks her feet and swings her arms and smiles and makes cooing sounds at the animals. She truly has a great time and it is great physical exercise as well as brain exercise! Thanks Fisher Price for making such a wonderful product!

Excellent Toy LOVE IT!!
September 4, 2010
I just purchased this toy for my daughter a few days ago. She just turned 3 months old and she absolutely LOVES it!! With so many toys connected to it she can scoot around to different sections and there is a new toy to explore every way she turns! The lights, music and rain forest sounds also catch her attention so she never gets bored with it. She has fun kicking at the toys and the big giraffe and even the mat part she lays on is so nicely decorated she fell asleep staring and grabbing at the pictures of the animals on it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I would recommend it to everyone! Well worth the money! She also has the matching crib mobile that she loves just as much I would also highly recommend that! These toys are very good at keeping the baby's attention and nice and brightly colored so they can see them well and it catches their eye.

It's a lifesaver
August 3, 2010
I bought this for my grandson when he was a month old and it has paid it's worth already. He's two months old now and still loves to listen to the music and watch the lights, and seems like he's trying to reach for the hanging toys. If I had one wish was if the butterflies would turn when it's on, but I can do it by hand. This is a great entertainment for my grandson. I wish they had this when my children were younger.

My son loves this gym. It holds his attention unlike anything we have tried so far. He loves all the lights and sounds, and especially the toys that dangle. When he is in the gym, I can get some housework done without hearing him cry or wimper. It's all smiles and giggles when he plays in this gym. A MUST BUY!
