Okay, so I was skeptical at first about getting another tummy time mat, but this one? Total game-changer! My little one actually enjoys tummy time now—who knew that was possible?!

The size is perfect—40x40 inches means no wiggling off like with those tiny mats. Plus, the inflated rim gives just enough support for my baby to prop up and actually engage with the floating sea creatures. Major win for motor skills and hand-eye coordination!

Yes, it did have that strong plastic smell at first (like a pool floatie), but after airing it out for a couple days, it was fine. And the slight edge warping? Gone after filling it with water. Now it’s perfectly flat.

Filling it is a bit of a two-person job (2-2.5 gallons of water = heavy!), but once it’s set up, my baby is obsessed. The bright colors keep her entertained way longer than any other toy. And bonus: it’s great for cooling off during hot days!

Downside? Storage is awkward—it takes up space, and moving it when full isn’t easy. But honestly? Worth it for how much my baby loves it. Would 100% recommend to any parent struggling with tummy time battles!
