Customer Reviews

great idea but poor quality
My son also loved the star. He didn't seem to care much about the other items or the mat, in particular. My wife and I prefer the Rainforest mat instead as it is easier to place him on it and pick him up. Honestly, we loved the star, too, and with a little patience we learned to enjoy the music knowing how much our son was entranced by it and the lights.

Our biggest disappointment was that the star did not work well on motion setting and the sound died after just 2 months. We replaced the batteries and removed the cover to make sure no wires were loose. With the back off it worked well and then, as soon as the back was back on again, it was silent.

We returned it to Costco a few days ago and are now sadly searching for a better star. I do not recommend this item due to poor quality.

It's all about the STAR !!!
This playmat is probably like all the others, EXCEPT for that singing star ! It is the best and lights up too, captivating our son for 30 minutes! Our friends have one too and agree about the star. so, if you can find a cheaper mat with some singing thing in the middle get it, but the BE star is guaranteed :} It is velcro so you can take it off and attach it to anything else too ...the only drawback? It only plays for a few minutes and then you have to press it again. However, this is fine since I have to check on my baby anyway. I don't understand 'short play' mode, seems useless. * add to your registry :}

My son loves it!
My son loves this mat, and plays for 10-20 minutes at a time. I bought other toys to hang from the various loops, as the ones included are very basic (no sounds, nothing to pull...). I really like that the 'bars' meet at the middle, as my son likes to look directly up at something. All the toys are within his reach when he is laid in the center of the mat, and he 'discovers' different toys on different days. I wish the music were less tinny, although all the baby toys I own have the same tinny sound.
