Make baby’s tummy time extra special with this engaging, double-sided folding cloth triangle toy! Three fold-out panels with adorable ocean-themed graphics and friendly characters lie flat or fold and connect into an upright pyramid. 

One side features high-contrast black and white graphics, great for important visual stimulation during the baby's first months. The other side includes colorful sea creatures with developmentally appropriate features, like a crab with a peek-a-boo mirror and squeaker, sensory tabs and ribbons on the jellyfish, and an attached tuck-away fish that stores in a pocket! The Tummy Time Triangle helps babies stay engaged and strengthen muscles during tummy play.

What parents & caregivers are saying!

Lswolf says: “Fun tummy-time toy! I feel like so many baby toys are only appropriate for a short time, but this has been fun for awhile! There is a black and white side, which is nice for infants that can't yet see colors, and it's reversible and has a colorful side for slightly older babies. It's soft and stands up like a little pyramid for tummy time. It has dangly parts for the baby to grab… my girly loves it!”

Faithg38 says: “Son loves it. My little 6 month old absolutely loves this toy and plays with it daily. He loves the mirror and the crinkly octopus legs and the fact it can lay out flat or I can connect it to stay in a triangle and he can throw it around.”

Gabrielas175 says: “Baby loves it! It keeps my baby busy for hours not only during tummy time but also when he is on his bouncer…You can put it laying down on the floor or even standing up. It’s a great toy for all babies, even my toddler loves it. Five stars all across!”

Lindsayca: “Adorable, love the contrast. This tummy time toy is completely adorable! It is dual sided with one side being bright and colorful, then the other side being black and white. We loved the under the sea theme that it had going on. I liked that you could lay it out flat or you could use the Velcro pieces and it’s a little triangle pop up. The colorful side has different engaging activities on each panel that will keep a baby entertained and engaged.”

Andream1040 says: “Cute and keeps the baby engaged. I love this. It’s so sturdy and cute. My girl really loves looking at it during tummy time. It’s very soft to the touch but sturdy enough for it to be kept standing up. I’ve had many baby toys in the past but this one is one of my favorites. The quality is amazing and it keeps my girl busy and engaged. Nothing more I could ask for from a baby toy.”

What parents & caregivers are saying!

Anayalovestobake says: “Very cute! My baby loved this toy so much! She was playing with it for like 20 minutes, and I was able to relax. Her favorite part is definitely the teether and the mirror.”

Carlifa8f9 says: “Cute and easy to use. This toy is adorable. Versatile. Could be used on car seats or crib toys. We have been using it as a crib toy. Love the different layers for the baby to use.”

Phuongt17 says: “This is an awesome toy! I received this just in time for my daughter’s first flight. She really enjoyed it. My daughter loves to play with toys that are bright and lively colors. The toy itself has three layers, which includes a soft cushion layer, a layer that has a mirror, and lastly a layer that includes a handle that also serves as a teething toy. My daughter is growing some teeth right now, so she really enjoys the teething part. I recommend toys from Melissa and Doug as they provide good quality entertainment for babies.”

Chauh2 says: “My kids love it!! This product is very soft and very cute. I love how big this strawberry is, the color is very nice. My baby liked to play with it and the mirror kept him occupied for some time. I think he will play with it for a little while.”

Fnuk4 says: “Lovely Toy! Melissa & Doug Strawberry Take Along Toy is such a great toy for my child development as it has a teether which makes this toy more useful. My daughter takes it everywhere when we go out and she loves it.”
