Colour
The Gymini Developlace has bright vibrant colours. The background is blue and green, depicting a jungle scene, with a variety of brightly coloured, smiling animals.
This is a typically vivid and stimulating product from the Tiny Love range. It is a versatile activity mat which will undoubtedly keep a baby entertained as they progress and grow. As it can change shape and style, it can be used in different ways to entertain, stimulate and provide comfort for baby depending on their mood.
Tiny Love Gymini Developlace - The usage
The product is extremely well made and the finish on all elements of the Gymini Developlace is superb. The instructions are very clear, indicating which particular style is appropriate at various ages. It is suitable to use right from birth up to toddler age and the instructions clearly show how to adapt it to suit your child’s specific stage. The soft padded mat is machine washable and the toys and arches can be wiped clean easily.
Tiny Love Gymini Developlace Special features
The Gymini Developlace includes 2 arches which are held in place with a brace on either side of the mat. These help to keep the arches in position and to make the product more robust. The arches are easy to attach to the mat and can be removed enabling the mat to be washed or put away. Also in the box, there are several toys to hang from the various hooks, to stimulate your baby. There is a large squirrel which makes a rustling noise, a ball with a bell in it, a frog rattle, a mirror and several numbered discs. The mirror is large and clear, which is quite unusual in baby toys. There is also a window which can be used when the side walls are in a closed position.
Tiny Love Gymini Developlace Conclusion
This is more than just a play mat.
This product can be used as a simple mat for a newborn as it is soft and padded, an activity gym, a tummy time play area and even as a crawling tunnel and activity wall when the sides are closed. The mat itself is vibrant and stimulating to look at, with a crinkle leaf for baby to kick or handle. We have enjoyed using the mirror during tummy time and the squirrel is a firm favourite. We did find initially that a couple of the toys were a little high for a tiny baby, but this wasn’t really an issue as we were able to swap some of the links around and make certain toys dangle at more appropriate heights. The mat itself is much larger than a lot of other play/activity mats available on the market, so much so in fact that we have even had a friend join us for play time and there has been plenty of room for two kicking babies! Don’t let this put you off though! When the sides are in the closed position, creating a tunnel shape, the mat is more compact and will take up less space in your home.
Once again, I am finding it difficult to be critical of a Tiny Love product. It is clear that they give careful consideration to every element of the design. This product is simple to assemble, stimulating to use and versatile making it a winner in our house!
We give the Tiny Love Gymini Developlace 5 out of 5 stars
