  • I had this for my first. It’s nice at first but there’s not a lot of padding. I still have the little pillow! Jul 26, 2024

  • This cute tummy mat was used the first week baby was born! Our pediatrician recommended tummy time right away & I knew I had to unbox this! It’s soft, machine washable, and comes with toys and pillow! Oct 06, 2023

  • This is super cute, but doesn't have much to offer. Baby can't really see over the little "hump" at first, and there's not enough space to roll so it's only great for very early tummy time. Sep 19, 2023

  • We really liked this for tummy time. Of course it's a pretty short lived product but I think it worked well for us with tummy time. Aug 14, 2023

  • We got it as a gift and my son loves it. Especially bright colors on arms Aug 11, 2023

  • I was given this by a friend and I’m so glad. My son enjoys looking at himself in the mirror. He doesn’t complain a lot during tummy time when we use the bear to prop him up Jun 08, 2023

    Its nice to have but not necessary Apr 23, 2023

  • Perfect for tummy time! Love that it comes with a mirror baby really loved that about this mat. Mar 09, 2023

  • It’s cute but my baby didn’t enjoy it for tummy time. Mar 07, 2023

  • Small. Kinda hard to keep propped up. Other matts are just. Better. Feb 18, 2023

  • This was my babies first tummy time mat and she really liked it a lot. I have a big girl though so she grew out of it pretty quickly but she still likes the little toys. Jan 26, 2023

  • It's an adorable mat but my baby prefers her play gym over this mat Oct 22, 2022

  • Great for travel! Love the simple design not overstimulating. Easy clean and easy to take on the go. Sep 30, 2022

  • Great product for tummy time! There isn't a great storage option though - mine just came in a cardboard box. Jun 20, 2022

  • Such a cute design. Very easy to prop up but not a sturdy prop. Easy to fold and take put up. The prop pillow really helps my baby as he doesn’t slip when doing tummy time. Mar 17, 2022

  • Love this item. My son is older now and uses it as a mat to sit on while playing. Mar 10, 2022

  • Bought this because of the little prop up pillow and toys because my baby hates tummy time. She is 4 months old and so far we have not gotten any use out of this. She still hates tummy time! Mar 04, 2022

  • my baby was not at all interested. Jan 07, 2022

  • It has been a nice mat to lay my son on in the living room but doesn't do much more than a blanket would. Oct 29, 2021

  • I love how this product can easily be moved from room to room and easily cleaned! My three month old loves this mat and keeps him entertained Sep 13, 2021

  • Ehhh, mine didn't really take to it. Jun 02, 2021

  • I’m neutral on this. Didn’t love but didn’t hate. It’s cute and nice that you can clip toys on to it but that’s about all it had going for it. Easier just to get a blanket out and some toys. May 12, 2021

  • My daughter doesn't like it as much for tummy time but she likes the detachable pillow and mirror for toys. Apr 30, 2021

    Started tummy time from week 1 with this set. Pillow makes tummy time easier, and bubs loves the crinkly sound when playing with the seal. Rattle & mirror keep him from fussing while on tummy. Apr 09, 2021

  • It’s okay, the prop up pillow could be a little more thicker for more support. Mar 15, 2021

  • The price on this mat is great! I got it to encourage my son to be on his tummy more but I wouldn’t say this did that. Feb 28, 2021

  • This doesn't take up tons of space, not cushioned but definitely still works for tummy time. The toys that come with it are very nice and keep the small one distracted. Love the little stuffed animal. Dec 22, 2020

  • Cheap and not engaging at all for babies. A Waste of $30. No better than a blanket on the floor. Dec 16, 2020

  • Honestly, I hardly used this, because putting a plush blanket on the floor with some toys does the same thing. I wish I would’ve replaced this with something more useful on my registry. Cute though! Oct 02, 2020

  • So affordable and perfect for tummy time. Jul 23, 2020

    I found this to be pointless. A blanket on the ground would be just as good. Or an activity center. Jul 23, 2020

  • Cute, inexpensive play mat. Soft place for tummy time, my son loved looking in the mirror. Nothing too special but gave a nice clean space off the floor to practice lifting his head and rolling. Jun 09, 2020

  • It didn't really keep my 6 week olds attention at all, could care less about the toys and would use the pillow to lay his head on instead. Maybe they should add lights or sounds, that might help. May 21, 2020

    Great option for tummy time! Well made, absolutely love the colors and very easy to clean. Apr 21, 2020

  • really helped my little with tummy time which most babys hate Apr 10, 2020

  • My 3 month old loves to stare at the bear! It is such soft material, and the prop pillow doesn't slide at all! It has made tummy time way more enjoyable for my little one. Mar 21, 2020

  • My daughter loved this mat for tummy time! She loved the toys & that the mat was comfy! I love that this mat is easy to wash any messes from baby! Feb 25, 2020

  • This is just ok. We used it a little bit but it’s totally not necessary to do Tummy time. It basically just takes up space in our nursery in the floor now. Jan 15, 2020

  • great for baby to start playing. Dec 27, 2019

  • Great for newborns working on tummy time. Is on the smaller side if you want to use for a little get time as your baby grows. Dec 01, 2019

  • REALLY really cute, but my son didn't love it enough to justify having another thing in the house, I have more luck just laying him on a blanket with a couple toys. Oct 26, 2019

  • This is a great play mat. My daughter really enjoys it and its easy to fold up for storage. Aug 28, 2019
