Explore the World of Discovery with the Baby Einstein 5-in-1 Journey Activity Gym and Play Mat

The Honest Truth: We used this item with our first child more. Then with our second we really downsized all the baby items. Realized we didnt need them. If your looking for a play mat a blanket works just as good. For the price and storage it gets a 4. We did like it when we used it but just didnt use it much for the second child and decided to gift it on.
There is a ball pit aspect to it and that never worked well for us. we just ended up keeping it set up like the first photo displays.

David Relyea: Sure, there's a mat and the baby can play on it/in it. The plastic hangers can double as bracelets for 1 and 2 year olds. If that were all it, I wouldn't bother rating it.

It has the single best music maker of all of the baby products. I have so many stupid music makers. The cube. The truck. The Einstein thing. The food pedals. They're all good. But this one is so good, I'm literally not going to ever give it away. The music is CATCHY as anything. I literally find excuses to have this playing.

Worth the full price *just* for the music maker. Everything else that comes with it is a perk.

Fabiana Salguero: Me gusta que la base desplegada es muy amplia, no es demasiado gruesa, por lo que la utilizo con una esterilla debajo.
Incluye cojín para estar boca abajo.
Los juguetes son diversos y muy atractivos, pero dos de ellos son muy pesados y de material duro (la jirafa y la ¿hormiguita?), con el movimiento y el tipo de ganchos fácilmente podrían caerse sobre el bebé si se colocaran como muestra la imagen. La música de la jirafa tiene dos niveles de volumen y puede ponerse continua o que suene al golpearla.
En general estoy muy satisfecha, Creo que aprovecharemos el gimnasio varios meses.

Rakel: El gimnasio está muy completo y es suficientemente grande para poner a dos bebés , de hecho lo compré pensando en eso.
Los bordes de la base del gym los cuales se doblan para la opción de piscina de bolas, están acolchados con espuma dentro de la tela (parece), la parte central no, yo lo pongo encima de una alfombra infantil para que al baby le quede más cómodo. A mis peques les encanta!

Le baje la puntuación a dos estrellas por el envío ya que tuve que devolverlo la primera vez que me llegó debido a que la caja estaba en muy malas condiciones rota por todos los lados y con agujeros por dónde se podía meter la suciedad o hacer que se perdiera algún artículo.
Además, tuve que envolver la caja en la que venía porque si no en correos no me
aceptaba la devolución.

El segundo me llegó menos roto pero igual con aperturas donde podía entrar polvo y demás.

Los artículos de bebé tendrían que llegar todos envueltos o en otra caja añadida para conservar la higiene del producto. Amazon tendría que exigir esto al cliente.

Lex S: While this isn't the fanciest or prettiest playmat on the market, it is great value for many reasons. The fold up sides will let you use this a longer than average, until baby can roll or crawl over them. Better still, my 9mo still plays with all the attached toys. The balls are soft which makes them easier for little hands to hold onto, the links are always a good toy, and the rest get pulled out of the toy box regularly by him. Once you're done with it, it stores up easily. Ours still looks brand new and was used heavily.

Miss A Korcinova: Possibly the best purchase i have made. It is of a great quality, the toys are very well made and easy to clean, you can also hang your own ones too. My baby boy absolutely loves the panda and could stare at it and play with it for 30 minutes which is a long time as he gets bored very quickly. The mat size is great and it is soft. The music it plays is nice to listen to and so far the batteries seem to last quite long. The pillow has been useful to teach our baby boy tummy time, now he is happy on his tummy without it. Even though this activity gym is slightly more expensive than others I looked at, it is definitely great value for money! Make sure that u don’t hang the playing giraffe at the top as it is quite heavy and when the baby hits and plays with the toys sometimes they fall down and being hit with that giraffe would be very painful.

cdubs1: This is the 4th playmat I tried for my baby. The first was very similar from Bright Starts which I loved, but have to my mom to use at her house since she watches my son a lot. I wanted something different for my house and so I bought several playmats until I found this one which I love. I wanted something that was big enough for my baby to roll around in and that he would not outgrow quickly. The mat is a great size (0ne of the biggest I have seen) and the toys and print on the mat keep him occupied. I also love the balls that come with it for him to play with later on. Love that the sides fold up, which saves space if you want it to and also allows for different types of play. Very easy to clean, easy to assemble and move. I do wish the mat was a little softer and thicker-I end up placing a soft blanket underneath. I think given the cost, size, and variety this playmat offers, it is a great buy

RobyRoby: Molto morbida e colorata. Simpatiche le stampe sul tappeto ed i giochini presenti all’interno. Vi sono parecchi gancetti dove appendere altri giochini. Sembra abbastanza robusta. Ovviamente non è adatta a sostenere un bambino seduto per esempio. Trovo grazioso il cuscino che aiuta il bambino durante le attività di gioco. Per il resto gli accessori presenti sono come vengono mostrati nelle foto del prodotto del venditore. Unica pecca, forse un po’ piccina quando è chiusa da tutti e 4 i lati. Aprendo però un lato si può ovviare il problema. Il tappeto completamente aperto è molto spazioso. Ottimo prodotto, lo consiglio.

Heather: Such good value! Bright, clean colors, easy to set up. This comes with a good assortment of attachments, plus the overhead supports have extra loops to attach your own toys if you want. A favorite has been the musical air balloon that plays when it gets wiggled! It encourages motor skills! The bag of colorful balls will be fun as baby grows! The balls fit through the ring holes which will be a fun activity when my LO can sit on his own and hold a ball. I got it when my baby was born, replacing a hand-me-down that I had for my older kids, and so glad I found this one! Good learning gym for so many ages and stages. The map design on the mat has been fun for my older kids (7 &4), too! They also like to crawl under and share the space and talk with baby when he is looking at the mirror and other toys. Would be a great gift. I can’t say enough how much I like it.
Only question is I’m not sure if the mat is machine washable.

VictoriaVictoria: As much as I love to hold my baby, I can’t do it all the time she is awake. I bought this gym and a Graco swing that plays tunes and nature sounds. Why I liked this gym:
1. The size of the mat. It is pretty large. Some other play mats were only about 30 inches long. I don’t want my baby to grow out of her gym in a month.
2. The play mat is decorated with a world map and colorful characters traveling in different vehicles. We will use this mat to learn continents when my daughter gets a bit older.
3. Dangling toys are made of plastic and washable materials. I would like to be able to clean toys that my baby pulls into her mouth.
4. The gym can be converted into a ball pit. It’s like two baby products in one.
I wasn’t disappointed when the gym arrived. It was easy to put together without the instructions. It’s pretty compact when all sides are folded up. The musical toy required three AAA batteries and a screwdriver. This toy is a little bit heavy. I replaced the link it came with with a hook from a different baby product.
