LOVEVERY | The Play Gym | Award Winning For Baby , Stage-Based Developmental Activity Gym & Play Mat for Baby to Toddler

This product is an excellent option for families with twins. Its size is appropriate, allowing both of my children to enjoy it simultaneously, even starting at five months old. The product is comprehensive and offers an all-in-one entertainment solution for babies. The fabric is soft to the touch, and the entire item is easy to clean, which is a significant practical benefit. The twins are particularly engaged by the wooden rattles, which produce sounds when grasped. This interaction appears to be quite helpful for developing their understanding of cause and effect. While this item is more expensive than comparable products on the market, it represents a worthwhile investment. Given that my children will grow up in the AI era, I made a conscious decision to limit their exposure to electronic gadgets (sound, light, and motion) during infancy. I prefer their early childhood toys to align with Montessori principles. This product perfectly satisfies that requirement, offering engaging, natural play without digital overstimulation. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener design is very thoughtful. It allows for the attachment of various other toys, introducing additional variety and extending the product's utility.

I am a mother of 3, and I wish I’d had this mat from the beginning. I was skeptical that a baby play gym could really be worth $140, especially because I thought pretty much all other play gyms are completely overpriced for what you get, and not to mention, they are just plain ugly. My idea of what a play gym was, was based solely on the products currently on the market which were all basically just the same thing. I am SO happy to see ay that the Play Gym by Lovevery is nothing like the others, in all the best ways. The first obvious difference is that the frame for this is made from solid wood, which makes this Play Gym much stronger than anything else on the market. It’s soft and smooth, no chance of splinters and no sharp edges, every detail in this product has been carefully thought through, and it shows! It can hold up heavier toys, which your average mat will not. When I had my second son, my oldest would accidentally collapse the arms on our old mat by leaning against it or stepping on it and my baby got bashed in the face by a heavier hanging toy. Not an issue with this one, and I LOVE IT! Some reviewers have complained that the wooden frame is a downside because it doesn’t collapse easily, honestly I think that’s a plus for the reason above. No risk of it collapsing on my baby! The only thing slightly negative I have to say about the frame is that I wish the holes for hanging the toys were higher up the arms so they hung over the middle of the mat rather than on the sides. Still though, I don’t mind where they are. Now on to the mat itself. The texture is soft, but not slick like less expensive mats. My baby can actually get some traction to push herself up and isn’t just slipping all over it and getting frustrated. This mat also has some decent padding on it! We have wood floors so I’m not worried that she will smack her face on the floor when she is still learning to hold her head up and hurt herself. This would’ve definitely been an issue with our old one. I love the neutral tones of the mat, and the way that different areas of the mat can be opened and closed to prevent over stimulation and promote focus. The whole thing is so beautiful, it’s something that I can leave out and it doesn’t look like Toys-R-Us threw up in my living room, it actually adds to the decor/furniture in my opinion. The little booklet with all the Play ideas is probably my favorite part of the whole thing. It really takes the guesswork and research and puts it into an easy to understand format. You have the baby, you h e the tools, but how do you help your baby get the most out of play time? This book makes it SO easy! You don’t have to search through mountains of parenting books and blogs it’s all condensed Into a few short blurbs. I really can’t say enough good things about this. My daughter (9 weeks) absolutely loves the high contrast cards and the Montessori ball. My 5 and 3 year old boys ask me daily to turn it into a tent for them. It’s really a fantastic toy that grows with your child. I can’t wait to see all the new things we can/will do with this! TLDR: it’s the best. All 3 of my kids love it. It’s definitely a must have piece of baby gear!

As a first-time parent, I wanted something that was more than just a play mat—and The Play Gym by LOVEVERY delivered way beyond expectations! Every part of it is designed with intention, from the high-contrast visuals to the sensory zones and stage-based activities. My baby is engaged, calm, and curious every time we use it! It’s super easy to assemble, and the materials are soft, high-quality, and non-toxic—exactly what I want my baby to play on. I love that it grows with them, turning into a cozy fort as they get older. This isn’t just a toy—it’s a tool for development. If you're building a baby registry or gifting a new parent, this is a no-brainer.

I bought this play gym for my 4-month-old, and it has been an amazing addition to our baby’s playtime. Here’s why we love it: Pros: Engages Baby’s Attention: The stage-based activities are thoughtfully designed, keeping my baby entertained and stimulated during tummy time and play sessions. It holds his attention longer than other mats we’ve tried. Customizable with Add-Ons: I love that you can purchase additional accessories to grow with your baby, making this a long-lasting investment. Durable and Safe Materials: The quality of the materials is top-notch, with soft fabrics and sturdy construction. It’s also easy to clean, which is a big plus. Developmentally Appropriate: Every feature seems to have a purpose, from the textures to the colors and toys, supporting our baby’s growth and development. Cons: Pricey, but Worth It: While it’s on the higher end, the quality and versatility make it a worthwhile purchase. Final Thoughts: The LOVEVERY Play Gym has been a hit with our 4-month-old, providing endless engagement and supporting his development. It’s an amazing product that grows with your baby, and we couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Highly recommended for parents looking for a high-quality play mat!

I love how easy it is to assemble this play gym. The legs are held together at the top rather than requiring you to get the spacing and tension right to keep them upright. There is also no worry about your baby accidentally kicking one of the legs or one of the legs getting bumped and causing it to collapse. The materials the activity gym is made out of so much nicer and stronger than our previous one. The color scheme of the mat is a great neutral when it is all closed up and put away so I don't mind it being in my living room and I don't feel like it is an eye sore to look at. We are in a smaller space right now, so having baby gear that is nice to look at is a great change from our older gear. The mat also has a nice layer of padding in it. We have hardwood floors and their isn’t a need to add anything under it. I also love all of the different areas of play for tummy time. There are four different areas that can be open or closed. I love how this doesn't overwhelm my newborn, but also entertains my three year old. This activity mat focuses on my baby's developmental stage and provides me with an easy guide to follow for first year. As a mom of more than one kid, I enjoy being able to quickly read through the guide and be reminded of my baby's developmental stage. It is so easy to follow and use giving me more time to spend playing and bonding with my kids. The cover creates a fun creative space that my three year old loves to play in with her toys and the different areas on the mat too. The thought and planning that went into this activity mat makes it better than every other activity mat on the market, from the quality of the materials to the specific areas on the mat to the toys that come with it. This activity mat is well built, thought out, and designed. It shows in every area of the mat. As an added bonus entertains your older kiddos as well :). This is worth every penny spent on it.

3 great things about this play gym: 1. It's attractive! Gorgeous colors, thoughtfully put together. Even the packaging was beautifully. It was also very easy to assemble, which is a huge selling point! 2. This Montessori-inspired play gym makes it fun to play with your new baby because it offers so many intentional activities. Most play mats I've seen just have a few animals hanging from the arches & maybe a couple of squeaky toys, but this actually provides learning experiences. The mat has four "sections", so you can position your baby on one of the four sections to have a specific kind of playtime. One section has little pockets sewn into the mat so you can play peek-a-boo; another section has a variety of textured fabrics so you can have a sensory moment. (So the true mom confession is that you can leave baby on this mat for a while & not feel like he/she has just been dumped somewhere -- baby will truly benefit & be entertained!) 3. The BEST thing about this mat is that it will grow with your child. Most play mats have very low-hanging arches, so once baby is rolling & sitting up, the play mat serves no purpose because he/she is now "too big". The Lovevery play gym has a much higher canopy so it will accommodate an older baby. It even comes with a canopy that can be attached over the wooden bars to turn it into a tent! And all kids love tents! Overall, I am very impressed with this product & would highly recommend it to friends who are putting together a baby registry in the near future. It's a much better investment than any other play gym I've ever seen in stores.

The hanging sensory strands are well-made and look really nice. My 3.5-month-old occasionally kicks them, but isn’t fully engaged yet—hoping she’ll be more entertained as she gets a bit older. Overall, good quality and a cute addition to her play area.

Overall this is a great play gym. We’ve had for 4 months now and our LO loves playing in this play gym. It’s been a joy to watch our little one be entertained for long periods of time with all of the different sections and the hanging toys. The cards in the learn to focus zone and the making sounds section are particular favorites along with the wooden batting ring. We also love the guide that comes with the gym and gives useful suggestions for how to play with your baby at different ages with both the toys and the play gym. The colors are fun and the simplicity is great. With our first kid we had a different playgym and while there were some clear advantages with the other play gym, this one is still our preferred play gym - especially because of the educational nature of the accessories / toys that this play gym has. That being said, there are a few things that could be improved with this product to make it a 5 star product: 1) Fabric - the fabric is a magnet for dust and dirt. It’s very easy to clean, but it’s annoying how much clings to this to begin with 2) Cushion- the mat is somewhat thin and lacking in cushion. This is especially important for babies that are learning to sit up as they can fall hard. We have hardwood floors with padding under area rugs but we still had to put a foam mat under this play gym to provide some better cushion. With our old play gym we didn’t need to do this as it was sufficiently padded 3) modify learn to focus zone - this is one of our LO’s favorite activity however I wish the velcro was not on the bottom section of the mat so when you remove the learn to focus zone your LO is not rolling around on velcro which is itchy if they don’t have pants on 4) rough edges on wood - as other reviews have noted, there are some unfinished / rough sections on the wooden batting ring and the wooden legs of the gym. I don’t really mind the rough edges on the legs because on ours these spots are towards the highest part where our LO won’t be touching, but the batting ring is another story - there really shouldn’t be unfinished rough parts on something that a baby’s hand is touching and their mouth is potentially touching. We took some sandpaper to smooth ours out and then put a thin coat of beeswax to seal the wood. 5) tummy time pillow - for the price it would have been nice if it came with a tummy time pillow Overall I think this is a great product and I would recommend to friends. This review is my own opinion and I did not receive any compensation or discounted or free product for this review.
