LOVEVERY The Play Gym (Stage-Based Developmental Activity Gym)

Important note on play mats and activity gyms

Play mats get a lot of close contact, especially during tummy time and early rolling. When I’m choosing an activity gym, I look at what the baby will actually be touching most often (the mat surface and any mouthable toys), and I pay attention to material transparency. I prefer simpler materials and finishes, and I’m mindful of the fact that this is a product babies use up close every day.

What I avoid in play mats and baby activity gyms

In this category, I avoid PVC and PUR materials, BPA and BPS, and plastic parts that aren’t clearly identified. I’m also cautious with heavily treated fabrics and finishes. I prefer brands that clearly state what materials are used on the parts baby will touch and mouth.

Product description

LOVEVERY The Play Gym is a stage-based activity gym designed to grow with the baby through the first year. It includes multiple developmental zones on the mat and a wooden frame with hanging play elements meant to support tummy time, early reaching, and sensory play.

This is a more structured play gym option, and the brand highlights a mix of materials across the gym, including wood, silicone, and cotton, with the mat described separately.

Materials

The brand states the gym includes real wood, silicone, and cotton, and that mouthable pieces use materials such as organic cotton and silicone. The brand also states the play mat uses polyester fiber.

Certifications

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 (brand stated)

What I like

I like that the brand is clear about the mix of materials used, especially on the parts baby is most likely to touch and mouth. I also appreciate the stage-based concept, since it’s designed to support multiple milestones rather than being a short-lived newborn-only item.
