Lamaze puts a unique spin on tummy time play, an important developmental phase for all newborns. Babies gently and comfortably spin round on their tummies, stretching and building upper bodies while exploring lots of squeaky, crinkly, tactile fun. Remove the spinner once babies sit up about 5 months and the fun and learning grow on and on. Employing a colorful play mat with varying texture and layers, baby will be visually and physically stimulated by the fun developmental features. Its time to spin and explore--on the Spin and Explore Garden Gym Suitable for 0 - 6 months

I bought this as I have other toys from this the product range, which our baby loves. It was easy to set up and looked really cute on the floor. My baby who was 3 months at the time became very excited when she saw it, but hated being put on it. Now two months on she still won't near it and I really believe it is because it is unconfortable for her as there is no padding on the turn table and the mat is not much better than a sheet!

Such a shame as with a little more padding and maybe a few more toys on the mat to engage her this could be a excellent developmental tool for our little ones.

I bought this as sen it on tv it looked great. ot it home and set it up put baby on their. She loved it for minutes that was it :(

It was easy to put together, and wash. Although not enough padding so not comfy for baby on turntable, mat does not stay down so ends up pulled in all directions. age range wrong I think. Too much for a young baby yet outgrown by months unles you use playmat as floor mat - boring
I took it back not worth the money.

Fun toy for my 3 month old. The floor mat is perhaps a little to easily pulled round with them (although i am sure once he has got the hang of it this will be ok!). Very different and helps with babies that don't like being put on their fronts, or as with my boy gets frustrted that he can't yet get anywhere.

We bought this because baby used to scream throughout tummy time. Having his head a bit further away from the ground really helped. He was very interested in the colourful mat and able to see Mummy so much calmer. We only used it for a few minutes at a time but I am sure it helped him get used to being on his tummy while he couldn't hold his head up very well. He now plays happily on his front without using the "spinner". The only thing I would say is the "spinner" that baby lies on isn't very well padded.

I bought this for my three month old to encorage her to enjoy being on her stomach. The mat is great with lots of very colourful and entertaining shapes and toys to grab at. The spinner sits in the middle of the mat and allow the baby to move themselves around the mat. My only worry was that this was not very padded however it was well shaped. One bonus is when she has grown out of the spinner I will have the mat to still get some use out of. Overall a good product.

Excellent Product, my son loves it!

we bought this product to help our premature son increase his neck strength after suffering from meningitus. Initially he would only tolerate it for very short spaces of time but building up gradually it has definately helped. It is very colourful and has lovely textures and sounds and even when he was unable to lift his head at all he still looked comfortable. Now he is sitting he still enjoys spnning but still only for a short time we use it more just as a mat for him to sit on.

Great toy, have to build up usage for babies due to head control but great for helping them to lift head and explore. Ideal for children who don't like being on their tummy as it distracts them

Good idea but

The concept is good but needs some way of fastening the mat down so they don't just pull the mat up and not turn to where they want to be. The age range is wrong my little one didn't like it and struggled to use it before 6 months. Little one starts getting upset after 2- 3 minutes of laying on the turny/ ladybird.

Not one of her favourate toys but was useful when she was learning to be on her belly, at first only a few seconds and she screems, but got better later (stayup to 5 mintues), get dirty quickly as babys dribble a lot when facing down.
