Fisher-Price Baby Playmat Kick & Play Piano Gym (HKX37) – Navy Fawn musical & sensory mat for newborn to toddler
Product description
What it is and why parents usually look at this
If you’re shopping for an infant activity gym that can last beyond the newborn stage, the Fisher-Price Baby Playmat Kick & Play Piano Gym with Musical and Sensory Toys (HKX37) is built for that job. It’s a playmat with a toy arch and a removable toy piano that responds to your baby’s kicks with music, plus a set of repositionable toys designed for tummy-time as your child grows.
On paper, it’s trying to cover the most common “ages and moods” problem parents face: babies start off needing simple visual/sensory input, then gradually move towards more effortful play like pushing up during tummy time. This gym is aimed at that progression, with multiple ways to play rather than one fixed activity.
The essentials in everyday terms
The standout idea here is the piano rewarding kicks. When your baby interacts, the music settings are meant for different session lengths, and there’s volume control so you’re not stuck with one constant sound level.
For tummy time, the mat supports five repositionable toys: a BPA-free teether, clackers, rollerball, crinkle toy, and a self-discovery mirror. Because they’re repositionable, you can adjust where your baby’s attention goes as skills improve—initially keeping things within easy reach, then moving them to encourage more deliberate turning and reaching.
Little detail that matters for day-to-day living: the playmat is machine-washable, and the toy arch and piano stand can be removed. That doesn’t magically prevent messes, but it makes cleaning feel far less of a chore.
Key features that actually change the play pattern
Two musical settings (for shorter versus longer play, up to 15 minutes) can be useful if your baby’s attention span is still building. You can also dial in volume, which is handy if the room is shared or you prefer a quieter setting for naps.
The repositionable toys are meant to keep tummy-time engaging as your baby’s body learns the “push up” movement. Depending on your baby, you might notice that having a mirror or crinkle nearby helps them stay focused for longer than a single toy fixed at one height.
Worth noting, though: it’s still an activity gym. If your goal is very structured learning (or a heavy emphasis on one specific skill), this may feel more like a sensory play setup than a targeted training tool.
Where it shines, and where it may not
It tends to make sense if you want one piece of equipment to cover newborn-to-toddler play while keeping variety. The kick-and-play piano is a practical hook for early interaction, and the tummy-time toy set gives you more than “just lie here.”
It might not be the best match if you’re sensitive to music/volume despite the control, or if you prefer a simpler setup with fewer moving parts. Also, if you’re expecting highly advanced, multi-stage programming (beyond musical settings and repositioning toys), you could find it a bit basic for the top end of the market.
It’s a solid choice for routines like: - A short session after a nap, when you want your baby to kick and hear music. - Tummy time practice where you reposition a toy so it encourages pushing up and reaching.

Is it worth it?
A good buy if you want a single newborn-to-toddler play gym that supports both kick-and-play and tummy-time, with repositionable toys and a removable, machine-washable mat for easier upkeep.
You may want to skip it if you’re not keen on music being part of daily play, or if you prefer a very minimal toy setup with fewer components. It’s best viewed as a middle-ground activity gym designed to keep babies engaged through sensory play rather than as a specialist learning platform.
