Baby Gym

Ugh! It seems I'm never going to get the hang of this baby thing. I swear every week I am on the hunt for the next new perfect baby product of some kind. Last week it was a swaddler large enough for K (he outgrew the smalls about 3 weeks ago), but in a fabric appropriate for summer, fall and winter. Sounds easy, but I also wanted something affordable, cute and also gender neutral (who knows what baby #2 will be, right?) I ended up with cotton knit Kiddopotamus swaddlers in green and yellow. So far so good.

This week's hunt? Baby gyms. This is one I've been putting off for a while. They are so much more expensive than I would expect. K already has a small one which we like a lot, but the problem is the mat is not large enough to accommodate his new found rolling talent. Also, I think he really likes the style with crossing bars, which ours is not. I have been eyeing a few on the BBRUs website, but honestly I don't know what to look for. Any tips from the mommas out there? I feel like it should play music of some sort and offer toys that hang overhead in addition to some that hang out on the mat.

My top picks right now are:

Tiny Love Gymini - Probably perfect, but aesthetically it's not my fave . . .
Baby Einstein - Seems to have it all . . . maybe too much . . .
Skip Hop's - Super Cute, but nothing on the mat. . .

  1. Vivian loved the Tiny Love...and apparently still does. We got it out for George & she has already started playing with it again!
