Brightly coloured, this provides stimulation and fun for a young baby. It's great for tummy time and for travelling.
Mothercare’s Happy Safari Musical Playmat and Gym is colourful, plays melodies and has twinkling lights, too.
The Happy Safari Musical Playmat and Gym is from Mothercare, a brand that’s synonymous with all things baby and is trusted. The Happy Safari Musical Playmat and Gym is a lovely colourful mat, with crinkles and squeakers. The music pad plays three classical melodies to soothe your baby and there’s twinkling lights to stimulate her.
The hanging cuddly toys are quite similar, but they’re detachable so you could always add some more playthings of your own choice.
What we love
It’s so wonderful to see my 4-month-old really grab hold of the elephant and pull it down so it vibrates and whack the plastic knickknacks that making her squeal with joy. She’s also just learning to roll over, so when she has tummy time, it’s very stimulating for her to play with the different textures on the mat. She loves seeing herself in the big sun mirror and is fascinated by the flashing flower lights.
I found it great for travelling as it folds up so easily, and great to put away at the end of the day, bliss!
What to watch out for
Overall I was extremely happy with this play gym. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that a few of the cuddly hanging toys were quite similar. It would be more fun if they were different shapes and textures.
Though my baby loved the music, it can be irritating for you after a while, especially if you keep accidentally setting it off!

The Mothercare Happy Safari Musical Playmat and Gym is brightly coloured and lots of fun, providing stimulation for a young baby. The toys encouraging reaching and grabbing, and it’s also great for tummy time. Perfect for travelling, this is worthwhile buy.
