Advantages: Great toy and lasts for ages Disadvantages: New borns can't reach the toys
...and can be bought from Mamas & Papas. However I also believe it is available from Babies R Us. There are some good offers on ebay for new and used. Shop around to find the cheapest deal but other shops may vary colours to the one I have described.
~~~Can I clean it?~~~
By using a wet cloth it can be cleaned and wiped down. It can easily be dusted down by using a cloth. You can not just put it in the wash but using a damp cloth it can be wiped down ... ...and baby sick. I recommend it being handwashed as this keeps it clean and safe for babies.
~~~Recommended?~~~
Definitely. No doubts at all. This playmat is perfect as a first toy and can be used for more than just a toy. I definitely recommend buying this as it can be used for a while and up to the age of three months this is the only toy you need to buy your baby! It doesn't wear out and can be used for the nest child as well.
Thank you for reading ...

Advantages: bright and colourful, amuses Scarlett Disadvantages: none
Insect island is what we call Scarlett’ lotty ladybird playmat, because when shes playing on there it seems like shes in the centre of a big island populated by insects. Of course an actual island or any space populated by slugs, ants and spiders isn’t sweet in fact its quite gross. However, it’s a name that has stuck in our household and to us it conjures up lovely images of our little baby playing on her playmat.

I’m sure that you can ... ...of bright, primary colours and is extremely sweet. The actual playmat area that the baby lies on is 60*70*180cm in dimension. The material is brushed velour and is incrediblely soft. The only downside is that it can get a bit dusty. The front of the ladybird has a big ladybird face on with a huge smiley face. Smiley faces are a big feature of the playmat. Babies are very attracted to smiley faces. To quieten Scarlett when she cries my other half ...

Advantages: Bright colours, different sounds Disadvantages: Expensive
When we bought this toy for our unborn baby we thought it was the best thing ever invented - bright colours, loads of different noises and a large area for it to play on. We brought our little girl home from hospital full of excitement about her playing on her new toy and guess what - she cried and cried when we placed her on the mat!! There was simply too much going on for the little lamb!
However two months down the line she started to really ... ...hanging from Lotty. It is now her favourite toy at 4 months and she can spends hours batting the insects and looking at herself in the mirror!!
Lotty ladybird consists of a big furry red body with six feet all in different colours that are very attractive to young babies.
The head is bright yellow and has a bell in it which jingles when pulled ( which is very often!!). It has two antennaes - one plays a tune when squeezed and the other has a squeaker ...

Advantages: colourful and comfy Disadvantages: a firm favourite with the cats!
My husband and I fell in love with Lotty the Ladybird the very first time we saw it. We thought it would be perfect for our daughter to play on - all the bright, primary colours that babies love so much - and love it she does - but it wasn't always love at first sight!
The very first time we put our precious little bundle on Lotty, she took one look at the huge, brightly coloured ladybird and promptly screamed the house down. Once she had calmed ... ...in the middle of Lotty, she seemed both amazed and dazzled at all the dangling toys (5 in total) surrounding her. However, it didn't take long before she cried again - this time in frustration as she couldn't reach the toys! - not necessarily a design fault - more to do with eager parents trying to please a very young baby!!!
She was 3 months old before she could reach the toys sufficiently in order to play with them properly, at which time everything ...

Advantages: Bright, colourful, easy to clean/fold/store Disadvantages: None
My friend bought this for her son and lent it to me when I had my daughter. To be honest I had seen them and thought they were very expensive and probably wouldn't have bought it myself but my daughter loved it and spent ages under it each day. She started uses it when she was a few days old and could hit the toys in no time. Once her co-ordination improved she would real hit & kick them vigorously but enjoyed it so much. I've given it back to my ...

Advantages: very quilted for baby to lie on Disadvantages: the dog likes it......
...exact price but in the mamas and papas store which is a little more expensive than other shops it is £50 Thats a lot of money I know but the quality of this play gym is great the mat itself is quite quilted unlike some of the cheaper mats/gyms.
The green gym can also be detached making it into a playmat .
The toys are attatched with velcro and easy to take off and move they come in a assortment of bugs and my little girls favourite one is a bumble ... ...head is squeaker and there is two more bugs that are similar to this (not sure which bugs they are ) .
There is another which has a mirror on its body and finally the flower in the middle has also is a mirror .....and as if this is not enough fun the ladybugs anteanas are also toys one of them is musical and the other is a squeaker
If you can afford it I would buy this mat / gym if not try con a relative into buying it ....your kiddie will love ...

Advantages: Colourful and full of lots of features Disadvantages: Quite a lot of things for very younf babies to cope with initially
I was so pleased to be given this as a present for our son. He absolutely loves it. It is full of bright colours and textures not to mention music and little funny expressions from some of the characters. I like it as it isn't too loud but just enough for a little baby to cope with. I am sure over the months he will get much more out of it as he is a bit young at the moment to reach for things. Great for a "day nap" as well as it is so cosy!!! Our ...
