Operating and Usage
Overhead Play (0-3 Months)
For newborns, position your baby on their back under the arches. The hanging toys encourage reaching, batting, and visual tracking. The musical toy can be activated by gentle touches.

Tummy Time (3-6 Months)
Place your baby on their tummy on the mat. The mat's soft book and mirror encourage lifting the head and engaging with the mat's features. Adjust the arches or remove toys to create an optimal tummy time environment.

Sitting & Exploration (6+ Months)
