“I bought this gym after seeing a review about a 2-year-old carrying the piano. My baby loved to kick from the start, but I found the gym itself to be a bit flimsy. We stopped using it around 4 months old. The hanging toys didn’t engage our baby, but the piano is fantastic and has really grown with him. I definitely think it’s worth the price!”

However, the LOVEVERY Play Gym is nothing like the rest! The solid wood frame is incredibly sturdy, and my baby can safely enjoy playtime without worries of collapsing.

"My little one absolutely adores this gym! The ocean theme is adorable, and the toys are fun and versatile. The thick plush toys make for great cuddle companions.

“Overall, I’m very satisfied with this baby gym. The colors are vibrant, and it's easy to maintain. I appreciate the flexibility of the sides being closed, partially opened, or fully spread out. The only minor issue I’ve noticed is that some sides don’t stand perfectly upright.”

"I wanted a play mat for my baby, but didn't want to pay the Lovevery price. I found this and it's perfect; we play on it for hours every day.
