LoveveryThe Newborn Gift Set, Play Gym with Sensory Strands and Looker Play Kit, Baby Development Essentials, Ages 0+

My grandson absolutely fell in love with this play set. He kept staring at all the new toys hanging down and started reaching out. Dad chose a toy he could handle, and before we knew it, he wrapped his little hand around it and gave it the ol’ three-month-old inspection—straight into his mouth. Trying to take it away? Rookie mistake. He made it very clear that this was his new favorite thing. So back it went into his happy little hands, and we spent the evening laughing and marveling at how quickly a tiny human can decide what he likes.The moment you unbox this set, you realize it’s built differently. Everything feels intentional like they actually sat down and thought, "What would a baby actually want to engage with?" The whole thing is beautifully packed—no cheap plastic smells, no mystery materials. It's clean, soft, and safe right from the start, which matters a lot when you know exactly where babies put everything they touch. After 6 kids, Grandpa put this one together and I was pleased with all the materials I saw.One of the best parts is the guide that comes with it. It’s a playbook for a growing baby. It is a guide with suggestions based on your baby’s age, which makes a big difference when helping them without overwhelming them.Assembly was a no-brainer. A few pieces click together, the frame feels rock-solid, and you can tell right away that the materials are built to survive serious daily use and drooling. The Sensory Strands add some vertical action that keeps things interesting, and everything is easy to swap out as your baby grows (or claims new favorites to chew on).This set isn’t cheap. It's an investment. One that I would make again and again. But honestly, the quality justifies it—and the fact that it’s made and designed for real longevity? That’s the icing on the cake. This isn’t a throwaway toy for a few weeks. It’s the setup that grows with your baby and even holds up well enough to pass on when the time comes.Long story short: if you want something that’s beautifully made, thoughtfully designed, actually useful for baby development, and guaranteed to create a few smile-so-hard-you-cry moments, this is it.We absolutely adore it—and clearly, so does our little guy.

This set feels incredibly thoughtful the moment it’s unboxed. Everything is neatly packed, and the presentation makes it clear this wasn’t thrown together for shelf appeal. There’s a sense of intention in how each piece is included—and that really matters when you're dealing with something for newborns.What stands out most is how the set comes with a guide that breaks things down by age range. It’s not just a list of items; it actually gives you ideas for how to introduce each part of the kit depending on where your baby is developmentally. The mat itself offers a lot of variety—soft textures, bright but balanced colors, and different zones that invite exploration. It's designed in a way that makes you feel like you’re giving your baby something fun and meaningful to engage with.Assembly was straightforward, and once set up, the whole thing feels sturdy. The materials have a quality to them that you can see and feel—especially in the wood frame and fabric touches. The Sensory Strands are a nice add-on, giving a vertical element that’s easy to swap and change up as your baby grows. There's also a good amount of play value tucked into each section of the mat. Some elements are tactile, some visual, and others give soft sound feedback without being overwhelming.The included visuals—like the black-and-white cards and mirror pieces—are especially interesting. They're designed to align with newborn vision development, and it’s surprisingly cool to see a baby actually track and react to them. There are a bunch of small items in the box, and while it can feel like a lot at first glance, the guide helps you focus on one or two things at a time depending on your baby’s age.One thing to be aware of: this set doesn’t come cheap. The price is definitely on the higher end, and while the quality helps justify it, it still might give some hesitation. What adds some value is the sustainability message behind the brand, plus what looks like an app or digital companion, though it’s unclear whether that’s part of a subscription or included.Despite the cost, the sense here is that this isn’t something your baby will use for just a few weeks and then outgrow. It feels like it was built for long-term use and not just to sit in a corner for photos. It’s the kind of setup that grows into your routine naturally and doesn't scream "baby toy" in the middle of your living space.

I am a huge fan of Lovevery and this item is no exception. The quality is worth the money. I get peace of mind that there are no toxic chemicals or harmful off gassing. I took this product out of the box and there was no nauseating smell! The size and layout is perfect for tummy time and encouraging babies to lift there heads and explore all the colors and different textures. The toys that are paired with this mat are very complimentary to young babies. My older toddler also enjoys playing with his younger sibling. Lovevery toys are made to past and are the best quality. I realize it is expensive but if you need to keep replacing toys because of low quality then you eventually pay that same price. But my favorite thing is knowing that I don't have to worry about chemical and toxins harming my baby!
