It’s becoming more and more apparent that I am going to have an infant in my home within the next 6-8 weeks. Yes, I am extremely nervous since I am trying to secure a holly and jolly Christmas for my 3-year-old while I have the idea of being prepared for a newborn just two weeks after New Years Eve! Luckily, I had an opportunity to review some amazing products thanks to Infantino. Giving me one less thing to think about took a huge weight off of my shoulders. Plus, I had an opportunity to play with some really cool infant toys, such as this Pop & Swap activity gym in the meantime (which my son loved to do, but I think it was obvious that I was a little more excited!).

This Infantino Pop & Swap Gym is a deluxe activity gym that is truly unique, easy customizable, lightweight, and filled with lots of great ideas to keep baby busy. One of the very first things that I noticed about the Pop & Swap Gym was just how simple it was to setup. Ladies: I didn’t need any tools (BINGO!) and actually had the entire activity gym setup and ready to go in under 5-minutes. Now that I am familiar with the gym and how it works, I could easily put this gym together and take it apart in a cinch!

Once I opened the box, I basically knew this was going to be much easier than the activity gym that we used when my son was an infant. All I remember about it is that I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me, my husband had to assemble with tools, and it was NOT portable at all. The Infantino Pop & Swap activity gym is very easy to assemble, but just as easy to take apart. There is nothing to feel overwhelmed about when setting up this activity gym (as you can see from the pictures below!):

Assembly is literally as easy as 1-2-3!

The two ends that will be your stands to hold the activity center above your baby (light baby blue) feature yellow turn knobs.

Simply insert the activity panel into the holes found on the interior of the end stands and turn the yellow knobs to lock it into place. Repeat this step on either side and voila! You are basically done setting up your new Pop & Swap Gym, but of course your last (and super simple!) step is to attach and insert activity pod toys.

Placing the activity pods is just as easy as it looks. Simply place them into the circular holes wherever your heart desires. They will lock into place to ensure safety and security, but removal isn’t a problem and there isn’t anything complicated about removing the pods so that you can move them around to keep baby intrigued and entertained. 

There are three open spots to insert the interchangeable play pods, but the fun doesn’t stop there! Notice the yellow and orange bordered circles on the left and right of the activity panel? That is where you can use the double-sided graphic cards (pictured below): 

There are 4 graphic cards included with the Infantino Pop & Swap Activity Gym. These activity cards are double-sided with a colorful animal illustration on on side, but backed with a black and white pattern on the other side. These cards can be placed on the front panel of the activity center, or used on the left and right gym stands exterior:

I love how many different customizations we can make to the Pop & Swap Activity Gym in order to keep things fresh and interesting for baby. Mixing the activity pods around and swapping graphic cards will help peak her interest. This activity gym has so many possibilities since we can change and customize, mix and match, and also use it while we are on-the-go! 

The special features found on Infantino’s Pop & Swap activity gym also help to keep things interesting and fun! There are three swappable toy pods, 4 pattern graphic cards, and 3 hanging toys! Plus, I love how the gym includes lights and sounds to enhance development while sparking vision and hearing senses for our growing daughter!

There are four different positions that we can use while playing with our Pop & Swap activity gym: overhead gym; tummy time; crib activity; sit and play. We love how many different positions available, which makes this an excellent activity gym that will grow along with baby. Use it while your baby is a newborn as an overhead gym, or as a great tummy time practice session when she gets to be a few weeks/months older. Once baby is sitting up, rolling, or reaching much farther than at birth, Infantino’s Pop & Swap gym will be an excellent crib activity! 

*Use the straps on the back of your Pop & Swap activity gym as a crib attachment!
