In my opinion, this Fisher Price piano playmat is the best and most versatile playmat around.   I followed all the registry guides and bought a playmat with my first baby, but thought it was only a little better than a blanket.   It took up a lot of room on my floor and my babies didn’t pay much attention to the stuffed toys hanging from it.  Also – it was only useful for such a short window of time before it had to go into storage.  This playmat gives a bit more bang for your buck, some cuter hanging toys, and lasts longer before it needs to go away.

When you position the piano vertically, the baby can lay on his back and look up at the toys while playing piano with his feet.   The bar can also be moved so it’s laying on the floor, which is great for tummy time.  When the piano is positioned horizontally, the baby can practice his sitting skills while banging away on the durable instrument.
