Lamaze Captain Calamari Spin & Explore Gym

We ordered this for our (then) we week old son as we felt he needed a new activity to do that would help bring on his development. The mat and play bar is vibrant in colour and he took to it right away. The three hanging toys are great (a baby mirror with taggies on the perimeter, crinkly Freddie firefly and two teethers) and they really hold his interest. The mat itself is soft to the touch and easy to wipe clean and just ever so slightly padded though not much. Our son is now 16 weeks old and he still loves playing on this numerous times a day. It's great for tummy time to with the hanging toys unclupped from the bar and later out in front of him :) Size wise it's ideal. Not too big and bulky and easy to slide under the sofa or behind it when not in use.

I gave this 5 stars because I love it. I bought this for my Grandson because it had been recommended to my daughter by a baby group that had one for the mothers to try out. After my Grandson had tried it in the group, my daughter said that he loved it. Fantastic for tummy time! It arrived in next to no time and it looked interesting. My Grandson, 4 months old was completely in his element. He was pulling himself around touching all the different things. It looked like hard work and can only stay on it for a short time. But the time he does spend on it greatly improves head and neck strength. Lovely product, very colourful and baby friendly. I would recommend.

This is a fabulous table to encourage babies to stand - it’s really sturdy. My son was keen to be on his legs at 3.5-4months old and he was able to grip the edge. Now he’s 6months old and playing with the accessories. Although the legs can be easily removed the table is currently to big for my son to sit and play, this might improve as he gets bigger. Bought when on offer so it was value for money, wouldn’t pay full price.

My daughter absolutely loves this book/mat. The black and white side really caught her attention at 2 months old. Now she’s starting to see colours it’s helping with that progression and the mirror catches her attention too.

Have seen many of these products online but liked this one because of the colours and activities. Bought for 6 week old baby girl and whilst she only goes on it for a short period of time each day, seems to have strengthened her neck. At first she wasn't so keen and cried/moaned a little as she was not used to being on her belly, two weeks later and she doesn't cry and enjoys the activities. Not sure if she has started to stretch for the activities or whether it is by accident that she grabs them but which ever way, she is enjoying them. The mirror is clear and moveable, there is also a peek a boo rattle and other good activities. Not a very big play gym and probably will be out of it by six months but is doing the job now. Not expensive either when you look at the price of others. Would recommend and if I was looking to buy a rotating baby gym, would definitely buy this one.

it is a little on the small side, but with a newborn baby should be just right for up to 6 months. the middle piece seems a little firmer than I expected so I would personally limit babies time on it accordingly, was pleased with the safety air holes on it though. the middle piece is off the ground quite a bit, and looks like it will only be suitable for a baby who can lift their own head up. The Mat itself is well designed and has fun little sensory attachments, that squeak, crinkle, and are interesting to look at. overall very happy with purchase.

I love the vivid colours on the mat and I think the toy it's a lovely idea. I have ordered two boxes. One for my daughter and one for my friend who is due in few days time. Unfortunately I did not open the boxes until today (3 months later) as I wanted my little one to have a go on it today. How big was my disappointment when I realised that the mat is missing from one of the boxes! Unfortunately it's too late to contact the seller and complain :( This will teach me a lesson to check items thoroughly immediately after they arrive :( I was really lucky that I opened the incomplete box, otherwise I'd send it unchecked as a present! Be warned and always check yours.

for me son i had a simple play mat. he wasn't really interested in it, get bored very soon. and the for my wee girl i find this one. and its amazing. she lies on it, spins around with her wee hands. and now - she is 5 months old and sits perfectly alone. this gym trains her back and tummy muscles, arms and coordination, imagination. great for little ones from around 2-3 months - whenever you don't need to support their head. my girl really enjoys playing on it. just one small thing - that you cant put baby on it straight after eating (otherwise - everything goes up).

Little one loves this. Good quality and keeps her busy

Meine Tochter fand leider ihren Holzbogen mit der Zeit langweilig. Diesen Bogen liebt sie total. Wir hängen abwechselnd auch andere Spielsachen dran. Der Schmetterling ist ihr absoluter Favorit. Auch der Spiegel faszinierte sie sehr, als sie noch etwas kleiner war. Wir nehmen den Spielebogen stammt Matte auch immer mit, wenn wir zubesuch irgendwo sind. Er ist sehr leicht verstaubar.

Jeden Cent wert.

My 2.5 year old son absolutely LOVES this toy. He's long been a fan of the water table and I was hoping to capture that same fun inside and without the mess. The Airtivity Table is the perfect height and he can easily turn on the toy and music all by himself. The spinning starfish mesmerizes him, while the challenge of trying his hand at baby "air hockey" by using the fish's tail to move the floating sea creatures keeps him intrigued while helping to develop his fine motor skills. The music is peppy and playful and my little one often just turns the toy on to have the happy tune as background music in the playroom. I highly recommend this toy!

Solid quality from packaging and varied colors, should be a joy for infant.
