Infantino Jumbo Wheel Play Space & Twist and Fold Gym

I am so very excited to announce that I have been chosen as an Infantino Test Drive Mom!  While participating in this program I will be able to test out some of Infantino’s great  new products for babies and toddlers.  We recently received the Infantino Jumbo Wheel Play Space and the Twist and Fold Gym for TJ.  At first glance I was a little worried that TJ would be a little old for these items, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed them.  We especially loved the Jumbo Wheel Play Space.

The Jumbo Wheel Play Space is packed with fun and space for crawling and tummy time activity. Strategic activities such as a detachable mirror, teethers and an easy-to-press flower which plays a 15-second musical tune are placed throughout the mat to encourage reaching, grasping and tummy play time. Play space measures 47” in diameter.

This play mat is very large and allows your child to move around and explore on it.  There is a mirror that TJ just loves looking at himself in.  He also loves making all the crunching noises that occur when you scrunch up the animals ears.  TJ has been really interested in music (much to my husbands delight) and loves to press buttons and hear music.  The Play space comes with a plush flower that will play music when you press on it (his favorite thing about the mat).  The only drawback to the musical flower is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the battery when it dies.  I hope that Infantino will change this soon so that musical kids like TJ can enjoy the music for a long time.

The Infantino Twist and Fold Gym is an activity center for infants where your child can be entertained and learn skills like reaching.  The gym also includes a little pillow so that your child can enjoy his tummy time.  I know with TJ it was really hard at first for him to enjoy his tummy time, I wish I had this activity gym when he was first learning.  It would have made tummy time a little bit more enjoyable.

What makes the Twist and Fold Gym unique is that it pops up in one simple motion and folds down for easy storage or travel. When you are carrying an infant in one arm this feature is very helpful.  In order for us to store our old activity gym we had to unhook all the arms (which wasn’t that easy) and then wrap the mat around the arms to store it.  I had a hard time figuring out how to push the the top crossbar, but Infantino sent me the instructions and I figured out that I wasn’t pushing down hard enough on the crossbar for the arms to click into place.  TJ was a little old to enjoy this gym to the fullest, but it would be great for a young infant.
