Review: Infantino Hippo Gym

Infantino: Hippo Mat

Infantino Hippo Gymis made for infants 0-6 months and is brightly colored with three sets of toys on a toy bar that goes over the baby’s lap when they are laying down. Padded mat for baby to lay on, in the shape of a hippo’s face.

Toys included:
Pull Toy (makes music) Smiling Flower
Bumble Bee Rattle Maker
Blue Mirror (they’ll spend hours watching themselves

It is very colorful and looks like a lot of fun, however it can harm your baby if you aren’t right there. If your child learns to pull on a toy they can easily slip off, or worse the toy bar can come out of their holder and fly across the room or hit your infant. Honestly, I’m surprised this toy hasn’t been recalled yet. Another problem for me is the area where the toy bar goes into is hard around it, which I’m not sure but I would think your infant can feel that while they lay on it. So while it may look colorful and fun, it’s a product ya might want to think twice about. However, the toys on it seem to be of great interest to the little ones.

The few things I did like about this is it is easy to take with ya because the sides zip it up into this half arch shape. Keeps everything secure and ready to play with it when it opens. The toys are great for the infants to play with and the mat is really soft, except the area around the holes to place the toy bar.
