Toys and Games Reviews of Tiny Love Gymini - Black, White and Red
Customer Review: A Lot of Money, for a VERY Short Amount of Play Value
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this as a gift, because everyone said ya had to have it. It is ok, and it is a good toy for an infant, but the value runs out in a hurry! The links are great (they can be bought seperately) and the toys - average. The mat itself really is only any good until babies can roll. And the dome is not high enough to be much interest when they can sit up. The links are great, for carseat, stroller, and random use, but the cost with the mat is NOT worth the money. You end up buying more toys and links, because what is included is limited. Buy it resale, or if you don't care about spending $ on a toy that is only good for 4 months. I think the Symphony gym (Fisher Price) though it has a few flaws, is a MUCH better play value item. I also liked Activity link gym, as it can be fun to sit in front of too. Sorry, I am one of the only ones that didn't go nuts over it. I think we buy toys sometimes because "everyone" has them, good or bad.Customer Review: Fun and Fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
Both my girls love this gym. My 2-month old is already fascinated at looking at herself or the arches over her. She loves to coo and smile every time she is in it. My now 21-month old still enjoys trying to get in it and listening to the music. When she was younger, she learned to turn over for the first time in this gym. She gets bored rather easily, but this toy seemed to keep her attention the longest.They both have different personalities, but really enjoyed learning and gained a lot of brain stimulation from the black/white/red contrasts. I hang additional toys for easy reach and more fun.
It is easy to unsnap the mat for easy cleaning in the washer. BUT, I would have liked to wash the arches. Using an antibacterial wipe seems to do the trick just as well. I wash the mat rather frequently and it has not faded much.
Have fun with this one. I really recommend it. It's great to bring when visiting friends and family.
Customer Review: Best toy money can buy!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two children - a three-year-old and one-month-old. I used this toy with my three-year-old and he loved it! He would spend 30-40 minutes laughing and swatting at the toys and then fall asleep under it from exhaustion. It was such a life saver for me. I could cook dinner, do the laundry, and have some time for myself. My daughter is now becoming very interested in it. We have added some toys to hang from the multiple holes you can arrange toys on. This was much more entertaining than a swing, bouncer, or mobile. Another plus was how portable it was. Great to take to grandma's house or the babysitter. Our babysitter would request we bring this item because it kept our son so entertained. It helps those young infants get exercise by kicking and grabbing. Also helped work out gas for my gassy baby. I can't say enough positive things about this item. I would consider it as essential as a baby bed and car seat!Customer Review: Not for every baby
Summary: 1 Stars
I put this on my baby registry because of all the excellent reviews I read about it. Well, my son hated it. As a newborn, he would get fussy every time I put him under the gym. I kept trying over and over as he got older, but he never did get into it. I got on the floor with him and tried to show him his face in the mirror, how to move the rattles, etc. He batted at the toys a couple of times, but was utterly bored after a minute or two. I also have the Sparkling Symphony Gym and he liked that one a lot more- it does have some flaws, but it plays music (which sounds quite good BTW)- and, unlike this product, it grows with the child to convert to a toddler piano later (for about the same price as this product.) Perhaps this toy is not an appropriate choice for a very active baby- I think my son needs more stimulation and more excitement than is provided by just lying underneath some toys and batting at them with his hands.Customer Review: Best shower gift I've recieved
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved this playmat as a shower gift. I loved it so much I bought it for some of my expectant friends. I put my daughter on the mat as a newborn and truly believe it helped her develop skills such as reaching and rolling over. She is 6 months old and she still loves to play under it. A good buy for your buck!!! The arches are soft too, so when she rolls around I don't have to worry she will get hurt. I really like the fact that I can throw it in the washing machine (mat and toys) to wash and then in the dryer. Yes, it does fade a little, but so do my clothes. It's great to fold it up and use the arches as a carrier. It's so easy to toss in the back of the car and take on trips. I also bought additional hanging toys and rings. More rings are great when they are younger and eliminate them as they get order to get them to reach for the object. I take the toys off too and my daughter loves to chew on them.
