There are “play mats” and then there is the Lamaze Space Symphony Magic Motion Gym by Learning Curve.  I am very excited to share this versatile activity gym that takes the form of a life size mobile.  The playmat includes arms that suspend and “magically” move above your baby, bringing the toys to life while promoting visual tracking. The play items include fun cosmic-themed toys and music. Baby’s favorite toys can be attached to the play mat for tummy time play.

Some of the very cool features of the playmat are six very cool tools, 15 minutes of music and motion, gentle mobile-like motion that promotes visual tracking, swaying arches, and more that help you keep your baby engaged much longer, which helps promote healthy attention spans.

This last factor is one that I particularly enjoy about the Space Symphony Magic Motion Gym.  The two playmats we used with our last baby were fine, but the quality of the mat material and the usefulness of the toys were limiting.  Typical playmats offer little more than a chance for tummy time and swatting at toys.  This mat has great music, sounds, visual stimulation, and comfort.  It is a great value for a modestly higher price point of $69.99 (SRP).  It is designed for newborns and up.
