My husband and I bought this in anticipation of our son's birth. We wanted toys that hang down for him to play with but really didn't want to spend a fortune. There are just a few points I have to make:
- The mat is very skinny. HOWEVER, we solved that by simply taking the mat off the arches and placing it on a blanket. This caused the arches to stretch apart, giving our boy actually a pretty good amount of room to play, twisting, turning, and rolling. This also made the toys lower, so it's easier for my son to get them in his mouth if he works at it, which he enjoys. (I find it quite funny to see him licking the ball on the seahorse contentedly, causing it to spin.)
- The outside edges are "hard" plastic, I suppose, as another review stated, but my boy didn't seem to notice or care, even when he hit it.

This was easy to assemble without the instructions and very light weight. We place it in a variety of places in our home so baby can enjoy her tummy time and mostly the kick ball. The soft plastic kick ball is excellent for our 3 month old, the other hanging items are a little hard and hit her in the head at times, so we are not using them for now. I do worry some times about the post placement holes that are hard plastic and near her head in tummy time. But in all, tummy time should be supervised anyhow. Baby loves the colors and seems to enjoy tummy time much more here than in any other item we have had. The fabric itself is comfortable and soft. Worth the price and enjoyable.

I love this for tummy time for baby. Its a clean area for baby to work on pushing up and kicking and attempting crawling. It's really nice because it folds up fairly compactly and is soft. It comes with detachable learning objects, like a rattle and mirror, that can either hang or be on the mat. It's a really great mat for a young baby.
