Toys and Games Reviews of Tiny Love Gymini - Black, White and Red
Customer Review: baby's favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lightly padded fabric mat (machine washable) with two arches from which you can dangle toys. You can put baby on her back to look up at the toys or on her tummy to make the famed "tummy time" more tolerable. There are many models of this gym by Tiny Love; I prefer this red, white, and black one because its high contrast is good for stimulating vision in the newest babies.
I really do believe that this is the only toy you need until baby is sitting up (although a mobile and a mirror are good too). To be honest my initial reaction was that these gyms are a lot of $ for something the babe will outgrow by 5 months. However, we received this as a hand-me-down and now understand that it would be worth the $. It is supposed to develop visual tracking, but our baby was reaching for the objects from day one. Her interest in the Gymini really picked up at about 2 weeks, and at 6 weeks it was the only way I could put her down for 10 minutes. I don't feel guilty about putting her down on this because I really do believe it has developmental value. My daughter believes that the point of this is to pull the toys off, not just to bat at them. Before that she was really into kicking them.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, you can add things to make it more interesting. In my opinion, the best add-on is the Wind Chimes, also by Tiny Love. We also have a moose by Infantino, which can be pulled down so that it jitters its way back up (that's the most challenging). We used to wrap the spiral Whoozit around one side of an arch, but we took it off once she started using both hands in opposition because I worry that it is a strangulation hazard. We also have a Boppy on it to prop her up for tummy time -- that way she tolerates it a little longer.
Tip: no amount of additional purchases can beat moving the add-on toys around on the arches. Otherwise baby will cease to notice them.
In summary, this is the best baby gift to give a family expecting a newborn. We'll be sad when our daughter outgrows it at 5 months.
Description of Tiny Love Gymini - Black, White and Red
NASometimes you just have to put down your little bundle of joy and give your arms a rest! But where can you set someone who may not be able to sit upright? The Gymini 3-D Activity Gym may be the perfect answer. This award-winning portable, washable gym is easy to assemble. Simply spread the 3-foot-square quilt on the floor and enjoy a vivid animal circus in red, white, and black. Slide two pliable arches into the corner sockets of the quilt, so that they cross diagonally. Clip the beads, rattles, and mirrors into the hole-punched arches. The dangles can be repositioned for endless variety. Babies can lie on their backs and stare up at the colorful dangling toys. The gym will improve babies' hand-eye coordination, and soon they'll be reaching, stretching, kicking, pulling, and rolling--an adorable sight! To put away the gym, simply remove the arches, fold up the quilt, and tuck all the parts into a handy waterproof carrying case. --Kathryn Gustafson
