Toddle Time Interactive Play Gyms

Advantages: Enhances playtime and encourages child development
Disadvantages: Storage

...a bit inconvenient. The best way I have found to store it, without fully disassembling it, is to remove the Gym and then place both parts behind my sofa. I would leave it out, but with two cats in the house, both partial to sleeping in the nice cosy nest part, and even occasionally using it as a litter tray, it’s not possible. Although assembling the playnest and Gym is not difficult, inflating and deflating the nest is time consuming, so once up it is best left up! The Instructions that come with the Playnest and Gym are extremely good. There are written instructions along with illustrated diagrams on how to construct it, the obligatory safety warnings and then a Play Development Guide, detailing the different uses for the different ages. PHASE ONE – Birth to Three Months is designed to develop seeing, holding, mouthing... Read review

Advantages: Interactive. Nice Songs. Colourful and Lots of flashing lights
Disadvantages: Not very strong.

...The Vtech light up gym is a good exercise toy for your little one. The aim is to help him to sit up. We got one when my son was 6 months old and he had a fair bit of fun with it. The gym provides some nice songs about Bees for the child that play as the sun rotates and lights up. The lights and music engage the child and he\'s encouraged to hit the items to get the song to continue when it stops. The gym has a main sun head which as stated before rotates and can be hit. Additionally, on the left is a small rattle which the child can hit, whereas on the right a pull up bar can be found. Lots of tunes and interactivity should keep your child happily stimulated. A strong negative point for me is as follows: The gym comes in 5 parts. 2 Blue feet, 2 red connectors and the main gym (top piece). The red connectors fit into the feet with ease... Read review

Advantages: Build Quality, Brand Name, Life Span
Disadvantages: None

...We bought the gym for our 3 month old boy after our neighbour gave us an older version. He just loves it, he will lay under the gym for ½ to 1 hour sometimes, bashing and kicking at the colourful toys & screaming with laughter. It’s interactive too, in mode 1 the music plays after baby has hit one of the hanging toys. In mode 2 the music plays continuously. There are several different tunes, all based on classical music. When you’re child is old enough to stand, the top section rotates to form a piano, this we have yet to use, but based on the last 3 months, he will love it. I would personally recommend this product, these gym’s have been around for years & are definitely a necessity as far as you’re baby’s development is concerned.... Read review
