 Follow these instructions for filling...Sep 14, 2010
By Ann R.
When you take this item out of its box and unfold it, you see 2 separate valves (one very large valve and one standard inflating valve). The standard valve allows you to blow air into the border of the mat - that most people can figure out. The large valve is the way in for water filling. Sounds easy enough... until you notice that this valve is 'blocked' - in other words, where you expect a big, fat opening, there is very thick plastic. Here's the part that's easy to miss: the opening to this valve is 'blocked' with a very shallow 'cup' that has an inch long slit at its bottom/inner seam, on the side opposite from where the valve cover attaches. When you squeeze this shallow 'cup' in at the sides, that slit opens into a conveniently sized access point for filling water from a tap. Don't forget to work out the folds and kinks in the mat (especially near where the fill valve is) to allow water to flow smoothly into the mat cavity. And one more thing: When you are done filling with water, hold the mat by the filling valve (so that the valve is the highest point) gently resting the mat in a sink. Then, gently squeeze out as much excess air as you can before closing the valve.
Different people might prefer different water fill levels. I filled it such that as I held the filled mat by the water filling valve and let the filled cavity hang, it appeared just over half full. That level seemed to work well for my daughter.
We just received and filled the mat today and my daughter, who is a very late crawler and has strongly resisted tummy time, spent over 30 minutes supporting her upper body with her arms and playing with the mat. I am very pleased with the purchase and believe I have found the key to giving my daughter the incentive she needs to build those weight supporting muscles.

 how to fill with waterJun 26, 2010
By estherhon
Upon opening this toy we discovered that there are no instructions. We went to Amazon reviews to see if there were any tips. There were recommendations of pinching, using plyers, etc.
All you need to do is submerge it in a tub of water.
Raise the spout to be higher than the other end and you will see bubbles come out. I ended up blowing air into the large spout then submerging to get more water into it.
When the desired level of water is reached, push out remaining air. There should be "some" air in the water pocket but not too much.
Hope this helps.

Great for Babies developmentJul 01, 2008
By Robyn R. Mccullem
"Carter's mom"
My son got this toy when he was around 6 months old. Our Parents as Teachers advisor told us that pat mats were good for babies development. My son really loves smacking the mat with his hands and crawling around it and watching the toys inside move. I like this pat mat compared to others because it is easy for him to crawl all the way around and explore the whole toy.

So hard to fill the water & air!!Dec 12, 2010
By Target Shopaholic
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R16K10O13V3MYR As others have stated, it was a pain in the butt to figure out how to open the valve but once I got the water filled and the air tube inflated, we were good to go. At 9 months, my baby preferred to stand as opposed to crawl so I thought this might encourage her to spend more time on all fours. It sat on our kitchen floor for about a month until she finally started playing with it recently. She was first amused by the floating objects but didn't like that she couldn't get to it. I think this might be fun in a sandbox, buried underneath some sand -- she could pretend that she's uncovering a treasure! Now at 10 months, she has started crawling and recently began playing with this. In this video, you can see that she really likes to try & lick the fish!!

perfect for special needs kidsJan 14, 2009
By C. Campobasso
My daughter is 2 and disabled and she loves this. I can lay it on the floor and put her on her side by it. If you put her ear on it it sounds like your under water. I put it on her tray and she is so amazed by it. Should be marketed for disabled children.
