Which one should you buy?

For most families the Fisher-Price Kick and Play Piano Gym at 60.00 dollars is the one to buy - it is the iconic, trusted-brand activity gym with four ways to play as baby grows, a removable light-up piano and Smart Stages with more than 85 songs and sounds, which is why it is our top pick. If you want the best-value gym, the Blissful Diary Activity Gym at 59.99 dollars is an Amazon's Choice soft mat with stage-based hanging sensory toys for sight, hearing and touch. Need a cushioned floor for crawling and tummy time instead of an arch of toys? The Joypony Foldable Foam Mat at 63.28 dollars is a BPA-free XPE-foam mat that wipes clean. The VTech Safari 7-in-1 Gym at 69.03 dollars adds detachable arches and four play zones that carry through the first year. For a foam mat that also walls up into a contained play arena, the Infantino 2-in-1 XL Mat at 79.50 dollars is the pick, and the premium choice is the Ingenuity Cozy Spot Reversible Duvet Gym at 119.99 dollars, an ultra-plush machine-washable gym with a wooden toy bar.
