I am an european artist and designer very picky when it comes to toys. and from my point of view, this is an absolutly cute mat, also very creative with all the different animals and activities it offers. my infant daughter just loves to hang out on it, although, she is not even 2 month old yet. Cant wait to see her grabbing after the animals. I would recommend this to friends and also buy it as a baby shower gift.

Awesome toy!
This activity mat has been one of our favorite gifts for our new baby. This toy is growing with our daughter, as we have watched her get more and more interested in all of its features. We alternate between hanging the toys from the arches above, and taking them down to motivate our daughter to lift her head. The toys are easy to take down and re-hang. There are lots of textures and sounds -- the sheep even plays Old MacDonald! It's very easy to assemble and sturdy. Love it!

Looks great, disappointing quality
I picked this activity mat for my son, because frankly it was the nicest looking - gender neutral colors, fun farm theme, and not too overloaded with bells and whistles. The mat itself washes well, but is thin (I place 2 folded blankets underneath to add some cushioning), and scratchy - the material could be higher quality. The pillow for tummy time is useful and the height of the arches is great to easily reach the toys.

cute and fun design
I purchased this mat becuase of the bright colors and simple design, and am happy with it so far. I like that the tummy time pillow is included, and all of the materials are easily washable. I took away 1 star for the texture and feel of the material- it seems a bit cheap and cound stand to be softer on my baby's skin.

Barn Yard Fun
We love this product and use it almost everyday! My son is still very young so he can't yet utilize everything to do on the mat but still loves the sounds and sights it has to offer.
I love this activity mat! I had a different one and it was such a pain to put together and take a part so I returned it as soon as I saw this on. Its super easy to assemble and take down for travel and my baby loves to colors and toys, I deffinately think its a lot more funky then others
We love our Skip hop activity mat, I didn't find out the gender of my baby girl, so I was so thrilled that skip hop came out with this mat, its totally gender neutral and my daughter loves to stare at it, and the head support pillow is great when they are tiny babies.....
My son and I start our days playing on this activity mat since he was 3 weeks old. He loves tummy time and is really strengthening his neck and head muscles. He also loves looking at all of the animals and hearing and feeling all of the sights and sounds. I highly recommend!!
