My baby behaves exactly like the baby in another reviewer's video.
At about 4wks old, when he started being more alert and awake, I put him under this mat and was blown away by the smiles, coo's and wriggling. Two weeks later this has become part of our morning routine. I feed/change him, cuddle and talk, then lay him under the mat and watch him have fun until he is ready for his nap. My plan was to eat breakfast while he is entertained by the toy and go to bed when he goes to sleep but I can't bear to drag myself away when he is looking so adorable! I put him on the mat whenever he is awake and alert as he enjoys it so much.
- It was simple to assemble, except it came with two screws and I could only find one hole.
- The material is easy to wipe clean, I have not yet tested it in the washing machine. (7mths later this has been in the washing machine a few times and is fine)
- There are loops on the mat which you can clip the toys to when he is older so they do not just have to hang above him when he is on his tummy.
- Different textures and things on the mat will amuse him later when he is old enough to explore.
- I would like the mat to be a bit more plush actually but I have a small blanket underneath it to make it softer for him. The mat is on a rug on wooden floorboards, if I had carpet it would probably be fine.
- I love the puppy which plays music and has four flashing lights, although the mirror distorts your reflection. Babies like to look at faces so a clearer reflection might possibly entertain him better.
- The music is quite upbeat and pleasant, I have not found it annoying.
- There are only two volume levels, not a dial to gradually turn it up/down, but the sound levels are fine.
- The flashing lights can be on or off.
- You can switch the music/lights on for 20min or 'baby activated' which I think means pressing the ears to hear the music, I have not experimented with that yet.
- It must come with batteries as I do not remember searching the house for a screwdriver to get the back off.
The only thing I do not like about this is that you cannot have the lights flashing without the music operating (you can have the music without the lights). Sometimes I want to watch TV, or chat on the phone, or maybe I would like him to see the lights but listen to my choice of CD. The lights are fairly unobtrusive but when the music is playing, even softly, everyone in the room is forced to listen to it.
