 Great help for tummy timeApr 26, 2010
I bought this hoping it would help the little one enjoy tummy time more. He hated being on his tummy and face planted whenever we tried. Because he has a mild case of torticollis, the pediatrician emphasized how important tummy time was so he could strengthen and stretch his neck. This item has made tummy time easier on him and has help strength his neck quite a bit. It's nice because he is up a little higher and is forced to lift his head. The only draw back, which is noted in almost every review, is the fact that the mat doesn't stay put. While on it, he will grab the toys or mat itself which will cause it to scrunch up. Overall, I think it was a great buy since it's helped so much with his neck.

 Great for Special Needs Kids, too!Feb 08, 2010
My daughter has cerebral palsy and this toy has helped build her neck and back muscles quite a bit. She also seemed to have fun and it didn't seem like exercise to her at all. It did take some getting used to, but by about the 4th or 5th time, she was loving it.

 Mixed feelingsJan 17, 2010
my 4mo old loves the mat and cover...yet doesn't love the spin feature. He's ok -not great- with tummy time and I was hoping this would help. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, other times not at all. It also seems to bother his tummy a bit- can be a plus if you just can't get that burp out...after he comes up from this there it is! But again, he loves staring at the mat while sitting on my lap...or even if i hold it up for him to play with he is excited...would love it more if he used the spinner...

Awesome for tummy-time hatersJan 12, 2010
In order to get my baby into the "front to play, back to sleep," I bought this toy. My daughter HATED tummy-time, but the spinner elevated her, so tummy-time became bearable for a couple minutes, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, etc. Two days ago, she was happily on the spinner for 20 mins. However, yesterday, she started turning over, so we removed the spinner. The mat is fun too, lots of contrasting colors to catch baby's attention!

Nice idea, but not very practicalOct 23, 2009
I loved the idea of this product, and could not wait to get it home. Once I put it on the floor, my daughter was quite interested in the different colored "petals" and the different fabrics and textures, but the twirling ladybug just did not work out. When she was young enough to need tummy time, the ladybug was very uncomfortable, and she would cry after less than a minute of being in it. It didn't matter if she was gently spinning or not, she wanted nothing to do with it. We took the ladybug off (hooray that it's not attached!) and she loved the mat. Now that she can hold her head up easily and is old enough to start scooting around, she's more interested in the ladybug, but it's not a tummy-time toy for her anymore. Without the ladybug spinner it's just like any other play mat - bright, colorful with different textures and toys to play with, but it's a bit smaller than standard. I'd recommend going with a normal-sized mat and skipping the awkward ladybug.
