Operating Instructions
The 4-in-1 Kickin' Tunes Gym adapts to your baby's growth and developmental stages:
- Lay and Play (0+ Months): Place your baby on their back on the mat. They can kick the piano with their feet to activate music and lights, and reach for the hanging toys.
- Tummy Time (0+ Months): Use the prop pillow to support your baby's chest. The piano can be positioned to face your baby, encouraging them to lift their head and engage with the keys and lights. Detachable toys can also be placed on the mat for close interaction.
- Seated Play (When Baby Can Sit Independently): The piano can be flipped up to a vertical position, allowing your baby to sit and play the keys with their hands.
- On the Go: The piano detaches completely from the mat, allowing it to be carried and played anywhere. The detachable toys can also be taken along for entertainment.
