Review: Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle Takes The Fuss Out Of Tummy Time!

It's time to kick off my next Infantino review!  I'm sure you remember my review of the amazing products in their Comforting Play collection. These great, soothing toys have become fast favorites in my home. Maybe you've even gone out and bought some of them for your own little ones. Now I'd like to share another great offering from Infantino, the Right Angle Tummy Triangle. As a mom, one thing I have dreaded with all 3 of my children during their infancy was tummy time. My kids all hated it, at least initially. They would scream and squirm and make a stink each and every time I put them on their bellies. But I persisted, since tummy time is essential for gaining muscle control and the coordination necessary for crawling and becoming mobile.

The folks at Infantino understand what a challenge tummy time can be for many families, and they have created an ingenious product to help make this necessary evil painless and dare I say, FUN for baby! Developed with pediatric occupational therapists, the Tummy Triangle is uniquely angled to help baby enjoy tummy time! The incline uses gravity to comfortably develop upper body strength and promote baby’s sense of balance. The peek-a-boo mirror and crinkly busy bee encourage reaching, grabbing…and lots of laughing! There is even a great little musical timer that has 3 unique settings to help you keep track of your little one's tummy time sessions. Cheerful melodies can be played for 1, 5, and 10 minutes!

How does it work? It's actually very simple. The Right Angle Tummy Triangle is set at an incline, and has cozy padding to make sure baby is comfortable at all times. Attached to the triangle is an adjustable toy bar that features a baby-safe mirror and friendly little bee that encourage reaching, grabbing, and head lifting. These are skills that are so important in reaching developmental milestones. The great thing about the Right Angle Tummy Triangle is that the toy bar can be adjusted to 3 different positions so it can grow with your baby and challenge them at their own unique developmental stage.

My son, Xander, is already ARMY crawling, so I have the toy bar set to the third and farthest setting. When I placed this toy on the ground, he was immediately drawn to the bright colors and patterns and shimmied his way up the incline of the triangle. He had a blast checking out the baby in the mirror and grabbing the adorable bee! He also loved the fun music that played on the tummy timer. Even my toddler Sophie, who is much too old for this toy, seemed to be interested in seeing what all the fuss was about and had fun giggling with her baby brother as he scooted his little body up the ramp. I have to say, this toy is a huge success in the fact that my son was completely engaged and gave his little arms and head plenty of exercise! He plays with this for 15-20 minutes at a time, and for a curious tot, that's saying a lot!

Take a look at how happy he is with his Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle!
