Baby Einstein Animal Exploration Tunnel

Baby Einstein Animal Exploration Tunnel Review

The tunnel is a bit pricey for what is essentially decorated nylon and mesh attached to plastic. But it is a great design for newborns, because they are on their backs, yet items on the ceiling and/or across the room are too far away to keep their attention. It is the only thing that could keep my twins' attention (first for a 1/2 hour, up to an hour now)-- with, thankfully, no effort on my part. Unlike a crib mobile, this can be easily moved to any room, and you can move the hanging toys around. I gave it only four stars, because it could be made in a way that would make it more useful as a newborn gets to 4-5 months. First, they need to either provide or sell more toys of increasing complexity (tactile, squeeky, etc.). Second, it would have been useful to have items that could velcro to the sides (inside the tunnel), to give the newborns different things to touch, especially once they are spending time on their stomachs. Those changes would make it more of a value, in light of the cost. Still, I am very happy that I purchased it.
