Enjoy Tummy Time With Your Little One
Tummy time is an important developmental activity for newborns. During the first months of life, babies learn how to move their bodies and gain the necessary physical strength for rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Besides the physical benefits of tummy time, giving your infant playtime on his belly will help minimize any flat spots on his head that may have come from sleeping on his back.
The Spin and Explore offers both you and your baby a soft and safe space to make tummy time a pleasurable part of everyday activities. Baby can gently and comfortably spin around on her tummy, stretching and strengthening her upper and lower body while enjoying lots of squeaky, crinkly, tactile fun. After your baby can sit up on her own, you can remove the spinner and let her take advantage of the other visually and physically stimulating features, like the peek-a-boo leaf flap and mirror.
Fun, Innovative Design
Winner of Redbook’s “Hottest Toys of the 2007 Holiday Season,” and a Toy Insider 2007 Top 20 pick, the Spin and Explore provides an innovative platform with a unique shape and rotating motion to encourage exploration and give babies the confidence they need to try new things. As his coordination grows, baby is more likely to want to attempt new skills–like twirling around on his tummy to visit his garden pals for tactile play, interaction that motivates him to hold his head up, use his legs, and spin on his stomach.
The Spin and Explore can be used with or without the platform and also includes little loops to attach other toys to the play mat. It measures 28.0 x 5.5 x 28.0 inches (WxHxD) and comes with a garden-theme play mat, spinning platform, and ladybug platform cover. It also includes a 90 day limited warranty.

Lamaze Spin & Explore Garden Gym
My 4 1/2 month old granddaughter really loves this – she is not able to sit up by herself, but the seat is deep enough to hold her upright with no problem—the only issue I had with it is the width of the seat bottom that comes up between her legs – it is so wide that I had to bunch it together after I put her in it, so that her legs would hang evenly – she can only touch the bottom of the floor with the tips of her toes (and I have it on the lowest setting) but she can still bounce – she is fascinated with all the toys – there are so many interesting things on this gym to keep her entranced. It was also very easy to put together – the directions can get a little fuzzy, but common sense prevails. It is well worth the money for the enjoyment she is having and also it will last her for quite some time. Alot safer to me than the johnny jump-ups that hang from the doorways.

I bought this playmat for my 8 week old and she hated it. Everytime I put her on it, she would get uncomfortable and cry. I guess it would work better with babies who have already developed enough neck support.

My son was/is not interested in this product. He may tolerate it for a minute or 2, but that’s not worth $40 to me. I was really excited about this, in hopes that he would enjoy his tummy time more, but that just was not the case.

The deliver speed is good but over packing. Online store need to think a green and environmental friendly for shipping.
My friend love the little gym. After baby grow out of it, it can be use for lazy Susan for dinning table.

This item seems like a great idea only my son has almost reached the weight limit of 22 lbs. at only 5 months old. This is about the time a baby would only start to enjoy such a toy. And the flower part is not big enough all the way around for him to be able to see everything on it. You also have to make sure you don’t feed the baby right before putting them on this because they will spit up as it pushes on their tummies too much.
