Dear Destiny,
Yes–we really gave high ratings to the Tiny Love Mat. Our testers enjoyed the ease of setting it up, the big mat and quality of the music and attached toys. Infantino’s new line of Activity Mats also did well. We did not love the stability of the Baby Einstein mat though. The Fisher-Price version did well but in the end the Tiny Love and Infantino mats scored the highest. It’s so important for babies to have a safe place to play when they’re awake.
Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for the additional explanation about why the Tiny Love Gymini got the award from Oppenheim Toy Portfolio! Safety is everything, especially when little fingers want to pull all those enticing toys danging from overhead. Although the Baby Einstein tunnel got pretty high marks on Amazon and it seems like a neat idea, I was wondering about how secure it was. I appreciate you sharing that it may not be that stable–very important for our readers to know! I’ll remove the Baby Einstein mat and replace it with the Infantino mat.
Thanks again!
