My dd didn't use hers much past 3 months. Next we went to a jumparoo, which she loved until she figured out how to crawl! Now all she wants to do is crawl and pull herself up on things! I would invest in other small toys or a jumparoo before i would get another playmat. Infantino makes some great small toys that my DD loves. Her favorite is the noodle teether.

@runnerd: my lo loved the piano one! She used it u til she was about 8 or 9 months because it can sit up. She would sit up and play on it and later tried standing. She still tries to play the piano today and sh will be one Wednesday.

We had this for Chloe

We couldn't use it until she was sitting well on her own & holdin her head steady, so closer to four months (the toy is recommended for 3+), but she LOVED it.

We used this for well over a year. The seat can be removed once baby is standing.

@T.H.O.U.: I was going to suggest the same- an activity table that you can remove the legs. C actually tolerated tummy time when I put the music table flat on the floor in front of her.

You can also change up the toys dangling from the bars above the play mat.

Dd loved the mat but by 5 months she didn't use it much (once she could roll). I would suggest a jumperoo (she started at 4 months and used it up until almost 11 months) or the activity table with no legs!

If I had to do it again I think I might get one of these - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AJSJE6O?pc_redir=1412322758&robot_redir=1

It's a play mat, an excersaucer, and later they can sit at it or pull with it and stand and play. Our jumperoo was great but this would've lasted longer.

My LO didn't use the playmat one she sat up really well unassisted and played with toys that I put around her...I had bought some super-fancy play mat that was supposed to grow with baby, and I thought how dumb I was so many times bc once she was sitting she used it less and less, and she started sitting herself up on her own at around 6 months so she was never lying on her back anymore.

My LO also fell in love with the jumperoo super early, like 3 or 4 months, and she definitely loved the Fisher Price learning table with removable legs. She would sit and play with it before she could stand and she loved it forever:)
