Best Baby Activity Gym Review
Lots of hanging toys - A variety of toys for babies to firstly look at, the play with and explore. Great toys include mirrors, crinkly toys, spinning toys as well as toys that are brightly colored.
Lots of loops to hang more toys - To engage babies for longer its good to have lots of loops so there are toys in different areas for babies to look at and explore.
Music and sounds - Look for music which can be soothing and relaxing for babies and not too irritating for parents! Many gyms have different modes for music including a continuous play mode and a baby activate mode.
Lights - Lights are especially good for younger babies to focus on.
A comfortable mat to lie on.

Fisher Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Gym Review
Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym
Amazon Price: $50.00 (as of 05/30/2012)
This is the baby gym I've chosen for my baby. At the moment he is five weeks old and I'm extremely happy with the choice. He is very happy when on the mat. He stares at the lights and the different toys as well as the hanging butterflies at the top of the gym. The mat is slightly quilted and makes a comfortable base as well as being extremely bright and colorful.
The gym features lots of toys including spinning toys, crinkly toys, moving and stationary toys. My 4 year old son likes to lie next to the baby in the gym and show the baby the toys and the mirror. As my baby gets older I expect him to reach for the toys and start playing with them. The quilted mat is also great for tummy time as there are lots of colorful animals to look at.
The music is catchy and not at all irritating. There are different modes for the music including a 20 minute parent mode where music and rainforest sounds is played continuously for 20 minutes. There is also a baby activated mode, where babies moves activate the music - although I haven't used it yet. The music is soothing and he has already fallen asleep in the gym a couple of times so it is quite relaxing for him.
A great plus with this baby gym is that you are able to fold it up and put it away. It doesn't have to be laid out on the floor at all times
Tiny Love Deluxe Gym

Amazon Price: $42.79 (as of 05/30/2012)
The Tiny Love Deluxe Lights Activity Gym has as some excellent reviews on amazon.com and is slightly cheaper that the Fisher Price baby gym reviewed above.

The music is Mozart and it plays music continuously for 10 minutes (compared to 20 minutes for the Fisher Price) or 3 short fragments of nursery rhymes.
