Overview

Description

Designed by child development experts, The Play Gym grows with your baby through a full year of play—from tummy time to sitting up and beyond. It’s beautifully crafted with eco-friendly, durable and baby-safe materials. If you plan to have more than one child, this is a well-made piece that you can pass down through multiple children.

Five development zones on The Play Gym reveal or conceal activities to prevent overstimulation and promote learning in targeted areas: focus, sound, tactility, hiding and finding and colors.

The Play Gym comes with a system of interchangeable Card Sets that you can swap out for your baby, including clips that attach to The Play Gym legs so that cards can be used overhead. You can hang toys from the arches or cover them with the Play Space Cover to inspire imaginative play. You can also get an easy-to-scan Play Guide for parents with research-backed ideas for fun activities throughout the developmental stages of the first year.

Lovevery Play Gym activities include:

  • Organic Cotton High Contrast Montessori Ball is detachable and easy for your baby to grasp, pass from hand to hand or roll
  • Wooden Batting Ring designed for batting and grasping, with bell and castanet sounds
  • Organic Cotton Teether made with organic cotton, detachable and perfect for mouthing
  • Silicone teething rings manufactured without PVC for safe, comfortable teething
  • Black & White Card Set with high-contrast images that gradually get more complex
  • Mirror Card Set, Common Objects Card Set and Faces Card Set
  • The Play Guide: A full year of ideas for how to play
  • Card Set Clips that attach to the gym to hold and rotate Card Sets

The Play Gym sets up in just two minutes, with no tools or batteries required. This means you can easily travel with or stash it away. It also includes an easily attachable Play Space Cover that transform your child’s play space.

You can also add Sensory Strands (sold separately) to encourage cognitive and sensory exploration and motor skills. They’re made with baby-safe materials such as organic cotton, and attach easily with Velcro straps and a safety loop.

20 Questions
How easy is this to pack up and travel with? Does it come with a carrier or do you sell one seperatly?

The Lovevery Play Gym does not include a carrying bag. However, it is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for convenient storage and transport.

does this come with a tummy time pillow?

No, this one doesn't come with a tummy time pillow.

Is the mat padded?

It's about 3 cm thick, providing enough padding to keep little ones comfy (and they don't recommend adding any additional padding underneath).

Wash?

Baby’s Play mat and developmental zones are machine-washable in cold water and on gentle air dry.

Is this easy to set up and break down for those without the space to leave it out at all times?

The Lovevery Play Gym & Sensory Strands Bundle is easy to set up and take down, making it great for smaller spaces.

What age?

This play gym is perfect from birth through the toddler years. When you're done using it as a play mat, it easily converts into a play tent.

Does it come with the fabric card holder shown in the photos?

It does! The Learn-to-Focus zone feature includes a fabric card holder.

Is this big enough for twins or just a single baby?

It's big enough for two. Here are the Play Gym's dimensions: 23.9” H x 37.9” W x 42.9” L with mat zones closed; 23.9” H x 50” W x 47” L with mat zones open.

Why do this play gym look different from the one on the Lovevery play gym website?

The play gym is the same as the one on the Lovevery website.

I've added this to my registry, but should I also put a Lovevery subscription on there as well? I was told to by a friend, but not sure if this comes with everything I need already?

This bundle doesn't come with the Lovevery Play Kits that you get with the subscription. If you are interested in those kits, you'll definitely want to add the subscription to your registry.

Great play gym!
This is my little ones favorite play area! Keeps him interested for 20 minutes which is pretty good for a newborn. The bars have tons of room to add your own toys as well which we did. Worth the price! I’m excited for him to grow and explore all the areas on here he has not used yet.

My niece had this play
My niece had this play gym for her baby and I was amazed at how much he loved it so when I wanted a gift for a friend who just had a baby I knew this was what I would buy. It is beautifully crafted and all the parts that go with it show how much Lovevery understands and cares about the developing child.

We were so excited to purchase the Play Gym for our great grandson. He’s 8 weeks now and his mom & dad were excited to watch him be already learning a little independent play on the mat in the little gym and lift his head and get stronger.
