Our Take

A soft, foam-filled floor pillow designed to support babies during tummy time sessions, typically from birth onwards. The pillow props up a baby's chest to reduce strain whilst encouraging head and neck muscle development. VTech have added electronic play elements to make the experience more engaging. It sits at the budget-to-mid-range end of the developmental toy market.

Key Features

Crescent-shaped pillow provides chest and underarm support during tummy time

Built-in electronic activity panel includes light-up buttons and a small mirror

Plays music, melodies, and responds to baby's touch with sounds

Detachable electronic toy unit, allowing the pillow to be used independently

Soft, tactile fabric covering with varied textures to stimulate touch

Requires batteries (typically AA or AAA — check packaging for exact requirement)

Our Verdict

A solid choice for parents struggling to get a young baby to tolerate tummy time, as the lights and sounds provide genuine distraction and motivation. Those who prefer screen-free or purely tactile toys would be better served by a simpler bolster pillow at a lower price point.

What We Like

  • Combines postural support with sensory stimulation, making tummy time more appealing to reluctant babies
  • Detachable toy unit offers reasonable longevity beyond the tummy time phase
  • Soft construction feels safe and appropriately sized for newborns and young infants

Things to Consider

  • Electronic elements may feel unnecessary to parents who prefer simpler developmental toys
  • Fabric can absorb dribble and spit-up; not machine washable on all versions
  • Battery dependency means ongoing running costs and potential mid-play interruptions
  • Pillow may lose its supportive shape over time with heavy daily use
