Fisher Price Deluxe Kick And Play Piano Gym Review
A play gym is a staple in any household with a baby and for
good reason. Play gyms not only entertain your baby but also stimulate
cognitive and motor development. Play gyms are fun, colourful, and educational.
The one we have is the Fisher Price Deluxe Kick And Play Piano Gym. My baby loves
this play gym so much and even though she plays with it on a daily basis, she
has not grown tired of it yet. Read on to find out why.
Cost and Where To Buy
I last spotted this play gym being sold at $79 at Big W. I’m
sure you’ll be able to buy this gym easily online as well.
Assembly
The play gym consists of the piano, a rainbow arch with four
detachable toys, a fake mirror with a strap to attach it with, a play mat, and the
base. It is incredibly easy to assemble by simply slipping the parts into the
designated slots. This toy requires AA batteries which are secured at the back
so will be of no risk to your infant.
Features
Colorful
This toy is incredibly attractive to your baby perhaps
because it is so colourful – displaying colours of the rainbow. Even if I
rearrange it or change its position on my baby’s play area, she always spots it
straight away and will tummy crawl towards it. The only thing I don’t like
about the colourful arch is that the cloth material can’t be removed therefore
only allowing me to spot clean it and not completely wash it.
Dangling Toys
The rainbow arch displays 4 detachable toys – the elephant
teether, crinkle panda, lion rattle, and the monkey cymbal clackers. The
crinkle panda is easily my baby’s favourite. The crinkle panda is easy to grab
because of its shape, makes a fun crinkle sound, and the back of the panda
displays a contrasting black and white pattern. I love how these are detachable
so I can actually replace the toys with something new if I wanted to. Also, I
am quite anal about cleanliness so I’m happy I get to wash these toys
regularly. The arch itself however, is covered with a cloth that cannot be removed - so this can only be spot cleaned. The arch can also be rearranged to be positioned to either sides of the play gym.
Piano
At around 3 months old was the peak of my baby’s kicking
frenzy. She absolutely loved to kick at the keyboard. If I held her in a
sitting position, she would kick away at the keyboard and this would entertain
her for quite a long time (in baby standards). When she outgrew this stage, she
would then reach for the keyboard with her hands.
I love that you can unscrew the piano and position it how
you want it – whether you want it to face your baby’s feet or face upward. This
means that this toy can grow with baby. When baby is bigger, the piano can face
up and baby can sit in front of it and ‘play the piano’ like a big girl.
The piano has 2 volume options and come is 3 modes. The first
mode is where it plays continuous music (“head shoulder knees and toes” was
stuck in mummy’s head for quite a long time). The second option is more
educational where it will tell you each key’s color/number/shape when you press
the key. The third option is where you can actually play the piano. The keys of
course light up which is always fun.
Mirror
What baby doesn’t love mirrors? This one of course is a fake
mirror and will not break and hurt your baby. I love that it comes with a strap
allowing you to secure the mirror while also allowing you to move it around as
you need to. I often sit and support my baby so she can sit in front of the
piano. The mirror allows me to watch as her face lights up or watch her face in
concentration.
Play Mat
I love that the play mat is soft, detachable, and machine
washable. The only thing I didn’t like about this is that it doesn’t have any
grip. Since my baby is still tummy crawling, she gets stuck as she tries to
crawl towards the keyboard.
Overall…
CONS
-
The play mat has no grip so a tummy crawling
baby gets a little stuck.
-
The cloth material of the arch cannot be removed
and therefore cannot be washed.
PROS
-
Plenty of features to entertain baby.
-
Educational.
-
Good quality.
-
Suitable from birth.
-
I can see this entertaining baby for a couple
years.
What play gym does your baby use and why do you love it?

Your daughter is so cute! We had this for our boys, although the keyboard was black and white, instead of having the animals on it. They really enjoyed playing with it, and we gave it away when they had both gotten too grown up for it.
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a nice weekend :) It's a rainy day here - perfect weather for continuing to isolate at home!
