Fisher-Price Kick & Play Deluxe Sit-Me-Up Seat
Kick piano + snack tray on a fold-flat floor seat that entertains head-strong 4–8-month-olds in short supervised bursts — but the 'wide leg openings' fail chunky babies, and the seat (not the take-along piano) is outgrown long before toddlerhood.
See current price ↗The pitch
a portable floor seat with a removable light-up Kick & Play piano and a dishwasher-safe snack tray — four modes from kick play to take-along piano, 65+ songs including the Purple Monkey “Maybe” song, and a frame that folds flat
The catch
the “wide leg openings” fail chunky and tall babies — fit, not the 25 lb limit, ends the seat at about 8 months; and it can’t be used at all until your baby holds their head up unassisted

What it is
A portable infant floor seat — soft fabric pad on a folding frame — with a removable light-up Kick & Play piano and a dishwasher-safe snack tray. Four modes: Kick & Play (piano at the base, baby kicks the keys), Sit-At Play (piano on the tray for hands), Snack Time (tray alone), Take-Along (piano detaches as a toddler toy). The piano has 3 Smart Stages levels plus freestyle mode and 65+ songs, sounds and phrases, including the Purple Monkey “Maybe” song. Seat pad is machine washable; the frame folds flat. Needs 3 AA batteries for the piano, not included. Use only with a child who can hold their head up unassisted and cannot climb out or walk; max weight 25 lb per the manual and Mattel (Amazon’s own user-guide field says 20 lb — the brand’s numbers disagree with themselves). Purple Monkey model JGG60; original model HNB39.
Claims vs. reality
The four modes are real, but the “newborn to toddler” growth arc belongs to the detached piano, not the seat — the seat can’t be used by a newborn at all (head control required) and owners find fit, not weight, ends it at roughly 8 months. “Wide leg openings for comfort” is the claim the reviews contradict most: the dominant complaint cluster is chunky and tall babies who couldn’t fit — a 97th-percentile 5-month-old who nearly got stuck, a 6-month-old who “barely fit… $75 was a waste” — while slim-to-average babies fit fine. “Teaches colors, shapes, numbers” is play exposure, not instruction, and the piano’s 65+ songs substantially overlap the larger 85+ piano in the Kick & Play gym (check #54) — if you own that gym, you’re mostly paying $75 for the seat.
Safety & recalls
No CPSC recall for this seat (checked Oct 18, 2026); Fisher-Price’s big recalls (Snuga Swings, Rock ’n Play) are different, inclined/sleep products. Mattel states its Infant Floor Seats are Baby Safety Alliance certified. Rules: floor only on a flat surface, frame locked open, straps secured, always supervised, stop at climb-out, walking or the weight limit. This is a “container” — Cleveland Clinic and Nationwide Children’s guidance is short supervised sessions (containers ideally limited to necessary car travel plus about an hour a day total), always outnumbered by free floor and tummy time; it is not a highchair, a sleep spot, or a developmental shortcut. One owner reported a baby’s fingers closing in the detached piano’s stand hinge — inspect it and supervise take-along play.
Real reviews — what owners say
Target 4.3/5 across 114 ratings; Kohl’s 4.6/5 across 57. Owners praise how much head-strong 4-month-olds love sitting up in it, the piano flipping from feet to hands, easy assembly, and the fold-flat frame. Complaints, in order: leg openings too small for chunky/tall babies; the short ~4–8 month seat window; a minority of pianos glitching within months (one stopped after one month); value dissent at $75. No tested editorial review of this Deluxe piano version exists — Babylist’s Best Affordable floor seat is the plain Sit-Me-Up sibling ($47.99, no piano/tray), which shares the same leg-fit and short-window cons.
Price & FSA/HSA
$74.99 at Target and Mattel’s shop, $74.00 at Walmart, $79.99 at Kohl’s. Don’t pay the $80.99–$89.99 list figures that circulate. The plain Sit-Me-Up is ~$27 less without the piano and tray.
FSA/HSA: Not eligible — standard consumer baby gear.
The verdict
WORTH IT IF… your baby can hold their head up, fits the leg openings with room to spare (test in week one — big babies should buy returnable or skip), you’ll use it in short supervised floor sessions balanced with floor time, and you don’t already own the Kick & Play piano gym. Not worth it for a newborn, a chunky or tall baby, as a feeding seat, or as a place to park a baby for long stretches.
