Genius Baby Toys Black, White & Red Activity 3D Playmat & Gym

Thanks

We tried a few different mats. Our boy would be uninterested within 5 mins. We got this one because of the black/white/red importance and he loves it! He has played for 30+ mins on it at a time. Life saver for this busy momma

Both of my babies have loved this activity mat. Its very good quality and its easy for baby to see the colors. I love that the hanging toys are detachable and I can hang them other places as well.

Super cute. My son loves it.

I understand that bright and contrasting colors stimulates an infant, yet looks a little diabolical, will return... Sorry

I bought this playmat months ago but only decided to use it as a playmat 2 days ago. I had it attached to the inside of my babys playpen. She was fascinated by the characters and would quietly stare at it whenever I put her to lie in the playpen. It is 100% cotton, which was excellent since my baby has severe eczema and can only have contact with 100% cotton fabrics. I had to be spreading cotton fabric over everything she sits or lies on which defeats the purpose of having playmats I decided to wash this playmat so she could do her tummy time on it while looking at the pictures on the mat. BIG MISTAKE! It bleeds! Now all the white areas are pink! There is no more stark contrast in colour. Unless you plan to mount this mat vertically or you don t wash it for you baby to lie on I would not recommended you buy it. FOLLOW UP: I tried to return this item to Genius Babies but I was too late in trying to use it for them to take it back. I received the following from one of their Customer Service Representatives: ... We have had multiple testing of this product and in cold water, have never found it to run or bleed - only in warm and hot. As a mom myself I have used mine for both babies, with innumerous washings. Kindest Regards, Sarah Customer Care Just in case anyone else out there, like Sarah, may think I am lying about this I have taken several photos for prospective customers to see. If it didnt run, I really would not have wasted my time writing this review. Clearly Sarah must have received a different stock than I did as she has used hers for two babies thus suggesting she has had her for at least two years. Could it be possible that between manufacturing the one she bought and mine they changed the die or something??? Her response also reveals that even in the face of a complaint that a product is defective and defeats the whole purpose of the product, the Genius Baby Company is is not the least bit perturbed ... it must be the customer who is lying, blind or mischievous.

This is not something I would have normally selected, but my newborn had laser eye surgery for ROP, so we want to provide him with as much necessary stimulation as possibly blue. He does well on the mat and has lots of high contrast images to look at while doing tummy time. The beetle juice-esque pattern has also grown on me too.

Love the colors and durabilit. Baby can be messy and I love that I can thro the mat in the washer no problem.

My daughter loves this mat!!! I love that you can change the toys out!

We just got this for our newborn and she doesnt stop looking at it. The contrast in the colors is perfect for her new eyes. The dangling toys all have textures and some of them have crinkling sounds that she already responds to even though shes only 5 days old. Very good and stimulating for newborns, looks like shell also grow into it once shes a big bigger too.
