The Fisher Price Ocean Wonders kick and crawl aquarium gym is a nice addition to the Ocean Wonders line. The same brightly colored and happy sea creatures make an appearance on this play mat/gym/tunnel. When it is mat time, the two soft toy bars dangle toys that baby can kick and bat at. The soft fabric is fun to touch and has plenty to look at. One of the dangling fish has a spinner, while the other plays quick tunes that aren't overly loud. Baby will enjoy kicking the little beach ball to hear it rattle. Convert to tummy-time mode so baby can strengthen their core and help their EQ with the mirror and reactive toys. Once baby is crawling, convert the gym to the tunnel for some aquatic peek-a-boo. You can still attach the toys, but the fun to be had is crawling in and out or peering through the mesh sides. Manufacturer recommended age is birth to 18 months. --Scott Teal
Product Description Packed with entertaining features, this activity quilt "grows" with Baby from one developmental stage to the next. Start out using it as a soft play quilt, letting the stimulating patterns, delightful music and exciting toys dangling overhead encourage batting, grasping and kicking. As Baby grows, convert it to a crawl-through play space, complete with "porthole" for an imaginative view. Remove the arches to machine-wash the quilt, or roll it up for easy portability. Long-life non-replaceable batteries included.
Great toy for infants and crawlersOctober 24, 2008 I am a Mom of 4 and I bought something similar to this at a garage sale in 2002. My kids loved to crawl through the "tunnel" and play peek a boo. When I got pregnant with my 4th child, I received this aquarium gym as a gift. My 4 month old daughter loves it. She will lay there and play and laugh at the toy forever. She kicks the ball which makes her so proud. She really likes the mirror on it as well when we have tummy time. I have a 3 1/2 year old and an almost 2 year old that like to lay there and play with the toys (especially the musical fish) as well. it is very entertaining. I would recommend this toy for all infants and crawlers.
great toy...October 22, 2008 The best part of this play gym is the toy ball. My son loves that thing.
Favorite baby toy!October 7, 2008 I purchased this floor gym when my daughter was 4 months old. She is now 13 months old and is still playing with it! She now uses it as a tunnel and crawls through it and plays with it every afternoon. It's gotten hours and hours of play at our home. She loved laying on her back and looking at the toys when we first purchased it but didn't care for the "tummy time" feature (I didn't think it was very user friendly for tummy time). However, the floor gym and tunnel options are great! I would highly recommend this toy as you can get a years worth of play for such a low price. Plus its great that it folds up so small.
very entertaining and 'tasty'October 1, 2008 Got this toy for my baby when she was already sitting up without help. Have many toys on the floor and didnt have extra room for another baby gym so I installed it in her playpen. First i thought it was a waste of a nice toy but it turned out nicely because of the toys hanging from the bars. The baby quickly learned how to pull the toys down and straight into her mouth so it does keep her occupied. I also tried to introduce it as a tunnel but it didnt quite have the same effect so it went back into playpen. The toy looks even more interesting for smaller babies, when they still play on their backs. The hanging toys are big, the ball makes rattling noise when kicked. Overall, I am very satisfied...
great baby toySeptember 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this was bought for my son when he was 2 months old. he spent a lot of time using this toy. he loved to lay on his belly and look at the toys that came with it, and he loved kicking and batting at the ball when he was on his back, and when he started crawling he loved the tunnel feature and crawling through it to grab the hanging toys off. he is almost three and he just recently (in the last 6 months) stopped playing with this. my one year old daughter never spent as much time on this as a younger baby but she also enjoys is as a tunnel. sadly it has been put in a corner to make room for newer toys and i think it'd get more use if it was more accessible. i have owned this for almost three years and it has held up well. the ball was popped by a cat about 7 or 8 months after we got it but i think it would hold up well around no animals. the batteries have also died in the fish and were never replaced but that is an easy fix and the original batteries lasted well over a year. the cloth part has been put in the washer and dryer and not been messed up or deformed in any way. i would definitely recommend this to anyone with a young baby or someone expecting a baby.
