B. toys – Wooden Baby Play Gym – Activity Mat – Starry Sky – 3 Hanging Sensory Toys – Natural Wood – Babies, Infants

I never post reviews. Unless something is just spectacularly exceptional, which this thing is. First of all, I LOVE this brand - we already have a lot of ‘B. Toys’ from the past several years with my older daughter, so I knew immediately I would not be disappointed. I know baby play gyms aren’t a monumental purchase that parents research for hours and days (and weeks) like other larger baby items, but when you’ve already bought a crap load of baby ..stuff, spending like $50 or even $100 for some brands is just excruciating. Even if it’s just on principle. All of the baby play gyms like this I’ve seen are not only stupidly expensive for what it is you’re actually buying, but they are pretty ugly. No need to mince words here. Another thing you don’t need as a parent of a new baby is something that takes more brain power to assemble than getting a bottle ready or changing a diaper, let alone having to cipher through a bunch of complicated diagrams and instructions and hardware when you’re already sleep deprived and frazzled af. And let’s be real most people probably already have enough garish, brightly colored baby stuff all over the house. So, in light of the aforementioned criteria, you can bet that this baby gym checks all the boxes. The price is a steal for the level of quality and what all it includes (especially if you are using the 15% registry discount), aesthetically it is super cute, neutral and well designed, it is light as a feather , and extremely fast/easy to assemble (the time it took me to assemble was maybe 5 minutes, which included going to the living room to get the box and walking back to the baby’s room, opening the box and getting all the pieces out. Actual assembly could probably be done in less than a minute by someone who has had more than two hours of sleep. I was extremely impressed and tickled with the toys that came with it- they are not only removable so you can take them off and use them with your car seat or stroller, they are developmentally spot on and soft, AND one of them doubles as a teether! Like, a nice one that you would pay at least $15 for by itself. Which is nice since babies won’t really need to use a baby gym like this for a terribly long time - it is great to be able to continue using the attachments so it doesn’t feel like a giant waste of money for a very temporarily usable baby thing. So there you have it, all the reasons why you should totally get this if you are in the market for a baby gym, hands down!

Very easy to put together, good packaging. Looks like it’s very sturdy too. Toys are a little shorter than I want but I can easily buy and add any other ones I want and how many I want. Previous people stated that the color is darker than pictured, I can agree it’s a little bit darker but not in a way that makes it look bad. I do however wish they would have more color options or toy options even.If you’re debating it, just get it. Super cute, works well, and relatively cheap compared to similar items.

So cute and great for price

When I picked out this baby gym, I had been comparing many that were in the $60-80 range. This one is a wonderful price for what you get in comparison. The pad seems soft and washes easily, and the toys are cute and good quality. I’ve put the two fabric ones (mirror and star) in the washing machine in a mesh bag and the silicone one in the dishwasher, and they all came out great. My favorite thing about this baby gym is that I can change out the toys- pretty much any toy that calls itself a “stroller toy” or has a loop compatible with linking rings (we use the Sassy and Itsy Ritzy brands of rings) can go on it. The only trouble is that the wood of the dowel is pretty soft. I added a couple small gouges the first time I tried switching toys. If you’re careful to open your rings super wide, you can avoid this, or, the end caps that hold the legs to the dowel are fairly easy to unscrew so you could thread toys on from one end. The whole thing was very simple to put together as well.

Well made and easy to assemble. My baby still uses it and he is 9 months old.

This is the perfect play gym alternative for a bigger baby that likes to roll around and kick. She quickly outgrew her other play gym. This is the perfect size and easy to put together. However, it is very light so baby is able to move it with hands and feet. It is nice that we can change out the toys and hang her favorites.

We have a baby Einstein play gym for my almost 3 month old but it's sort of annoying to have to slide her in and out of it. This gym is awesome she LOVES the mirror on it. Was super easy to put together and feels sturdy/ good quality. The mat it comes with is plush and soft. Very impressed for the price.

My 4 month old baby loves all of the different toys and sensory items on this play mat. The only issues are that the mat only came with a few toys to hang from the frame so we supplemented with some toys we had on hand. The other is that the wooden frame is very hard and when my baby gets excited and kicks she sometimes kicks the wooden pieces which is very painful. We wrap thick blankets around the frame to keep her from hitting herself on it, which isn't ideal. The mat could definitely use some type of padding around the wooden arms for added safety.
