Fisher Price rainforest gym/playmat.

For those ladies who have this... is there any sort of safety on it that I have missed? Like to hold the bars together?

Ella seems to knock it over every time she plays on it, and the bars keep landing on her! She doeant stay in the middle of the mat (if she stayed in the middle, they wouldnt hit her.) But she has been pinned down by them a few times. She does go crazy and yanks at it and rolls into/kicks the supports... but surely it shouldnt fall down?

I read on he product description on Argos this -
"To prevent possible injury by entanglement remove this toy when the child starts trying to get up on its hands and knees into a crawling position"

Maybe she is too big for it now? Shame because she loves it!

We have taken the bars away now that LO is crawling. Tbh, I hadn't see the safety instructions (my DH put it together) but the bars were getting in the way of her moving and she was grabbing at it like she wanted to use it to pull her up, which it obviously can't do. We have left the mat and taken the toys down for her to play with.

Actually you need to make sure that the bars are properly fixed together at the top. It actually took me 4 months to work this out as we kept on knocking it over. It takes quite a bit of force to do it and then the bars should not move so much. On the other hand I don't know if I am strong enough to take it apart now.

You do have to force it until it clicks but rio still pulls his over every time. Drives me mad! Seems a poor design for the price IMO x

Which one is it? The large one? I always found I had to pull each leg out tight to each corner for stability. But never had this much issue? Are the "tubes" bent in anyway?

What others have said takes a bit of force to clip in then it doesnt move

Ahh i didnt realise it clicked in. Ive tried pushing it hard buy clearly not hard enough!

AP, i know what you mean about the mat riding up the bars and them twistig about. Its a pain in the backside!

We have one and it's been used by so many friends' babies that by the time it came back to us, doesn't stay up at all anymore. So have
Used a cable tie to keep it up and it works a charm!
