Fisher Price Sparkling Symphony Gym

This was given to my son at Christmas when he was nearly 6 weeks old. It has been the best toy for him so far other than giggling at me and his dad. Age Suitability ----------------- This gym is designed to be used from birth till toddlerhood. I don't honestly see it being much use in the very early weeks when babies barely open their eyes and everything is interesting (our stair banisters were a particular favourite to watch when Adrian was a few weeks). But once your baby is becoming more alert you can place him/her under the gym and set it to an automatic mode where it plays tunes and ... more

Before I go into the features of this toy I will explain a little bit about the parts that are included and the assembly of it.

When my fella said that we were going to get my little babe a new toy to play with,I got really excited. That meant that we were going to TOYS R US. Now being a big kid myself (age 25 ) I couldn`t wait to see what great toys they had to play with. Now to be honest I was a little dissapointed because there wasn`t really a wide range for 2 months old, I had expected there to be more. One thing did catch our eye though and that was the FISHER PRICE SPARKLING SYMPHONY GYM. On the box it said from birth upwards and that it has 3 stages which are, lay and play, sit and play and also stand and play ... more

The sparkle gym first came out when I was pregnant with my third child and I oh so wanted to get it for her but after my house was crammed with lots of various gyms, playmats etc I decided not to bother so when I found out I was expecting my fourth child I immediately sent dear hubby out to get it. It was very simple to assemble, took around five minutes and only a couple of screws were used. It is very appealing in its looksas it has bright blue chunky legs( a bonus when you also have a toddler on the loose!!), the main keypad is white but the star shapes above the musical keys are pink, blue ... more
