View larger. There is no lack of fun activities to keep babies entertained. View larger. Help Baby Develop Leg Coordination The Bounce Bounce activity center is constructed with sturdy yet lightweight molded plastic. Standing on three wide legs, the toy has a bucket seat in the center for the baby, surrounded by a triangle of fun, interactive activities. The bouncing platform is attached to the sturdy legs with short bungee cords that allow the baby the perfect amount of bouncing and wobbling, helping her develop balance and strengthen her leg muscles in a safe and secure environment. The seat, which is height adjustable, rotates 360 degrees. When your baby is seated, she can use her feet to push off the platform, turning herself all the way around to play with the toys. Fun Toys Offer Exploratory Fun With an adorable, pastel bug-and-flower motif, the activity center's toys are cute - and they're educational and functional as well, providing plenty of exploratory, interactive fun for infants. They include bendable stalk toys, with interesting textures and spinning balls, a removable, plush butterfly with pretty chimes, a hanging mirror, sliding, caterpillar-shaped beads, and more. We especially like that a water-filled teething toy is included. And the light-up keyboard, which plays six different melodies, helps babies learn about cause and effect while providing creative auditory and visual stimulation. Convenient, Space-Saving Design Baby activity centers are a wonderful and safe way to help satisfy your baby's need for leg exercise while providing plenty of educational stimulation. But so many of them are really cumbersome! So we especially like the streamlined, compact size of the Bounce Bounce activity center. Even though it's smaller in size, it still provides baby with plenty of fun things to do. Other perks: the removable seat cover is washable, for those inevitable spit-ups and diaper leaks, and the activity center includes a snack tray for convenient playtime snacking. With its lovely pink, green, and lavender colors, this particular model is definitely geared towards girls. It certainly is cute and pretty - but if you're not keen on "girly" stuff, or if you intend to use this activity center for a boy, Bright Starts also makes a unisex Bounce Bounce center in primary colors. The toy requires some rather serious assembly. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver. 2 AA batteries are required for the keyboard. What's in the Box Activity station, assembly hardware, and instruction guide.

Q. -enhancing classical music, baby will be hard-pressed not to advance her infant skill set on the Gymini Super Deluxe. From the monkey with springy leg to pull to the vibrating, jitterbugging elephant to the mirror she can see if she just lifts that heavy head a bit higher…everything on the play mat has a mission: to make baby learn. Cause and effect is a biggie: when she bats at the giraffe, it rattles. When she pokes one corner of the mat, music and lights seem to emerge from the fabric flowers. When she rubs the elephant ear on the mat, it makes a fun crinkly sound. Those large muscles are getting a real workout, too, resulting in improved large motor skills: reaching, kicking, rolling over, pushing up. Many babies don’t particularly enjoy their necessary daily "tummy time," but the Gymini encourages baby to lift and turn her head to see the mirror and find the flashing lights. Tummy time is fun again! And don’t forget the fine motor skills! Those little fingers have to meet if baby wants to grasp the zebra’s mane or the parrot’s crackling wings. Details, Details Plastic rings hang from the many holes in each arch; dangling from each is a plush animal or toy, providing still more stimulation. Additionally, parents can easily switch out the toys for variety, simply detaching the included toys from the rings and looping other baby-safe toys on. A hidden music box in one corner of the mat includes an on/off switch with two musical selections: 10 minutes of Mozart or three short fragments of popular nursery tunes. The music is a bit plinky, as is the norm with most baby toy music, but not at all offensive. When the music stops, all baby needs to do is press anywhere on that corner of the mat to start it up again—she is further encouraged to do so by the flowers that light up when the music plays. A hidden squeaker in one of the birds, peek-a-boo with the elephant ear, flap-flap-flap with the butterfly wing, tug-of-war with the giraffe’s tail…the play potential is limitless, whether she’s sitting up or lying down, one week old or 8 months old. For Mom and Dad The mat and arches fold up flat, and the entire Gymini snaps together and travels easily, which is a good thing because you won’t want to be without it on your next trip to Grandma’s. The padded mat is machine washable (read instructions first—the music box and mirror don’t take kindly to machine washing…). Three AA batteries required for the music box (batteries included are for trial only and should be replaced). -Emilie Coulter Activity mats are a staple baby item in most households. They provide a safe, fun, and educational environment where your little one can lie or sit, and play. Tiny Love's award-winning deluxe mat depicts a riot of happy animals. Elephants, monkeys, giraffes, and even birds will charm your baby who will love the round mirror, squeaky bird, crinkly elephant ear, and pullable giraffe tail. Also included are four plastic rings that can hang from the crossbars, each one with a different plush animal attached to it providing more stimulation and activities. Hidden in one corner of the playmat is a small plastic box housing a switch and speaker. Move the switch to Mozart to hear 10 continuous minutes of music and to light up the three flowers on the mat. Switch to Nursery Tunes for shorter snippets of three popular songs. The mat and its arches fold up nicely, and the entire gym snaps together and travels easily. -Pam Lauer A newborn will be content lying on her back, gazing into Mommy or Daddy’s face. And that doesn’t really get old for a long time. But baby’s brain and muscles and skills are developing, and after a while she would like a wee bit more entertainment, if you don’t mind. The award-winning Gymini Super Deluxe by Tiny Love is a classic, sure to provide, well, minutes, but they add up to hours, of amusement! And parents know that even 10 minutes of uninterrupted time to make dinner or throw a load in the wash can be a blessing, even aside from the myriad benefits the Gymini play mat gives their little one. And what are those benefits, you ask? The list goes on and on, but here’s a start. First, a Brief Description The Gymini folds out into a 32- by 32-inch soft mat, virtually swarming with colorful illustrations of jungle flora and fauna, most notably a giraffe, zebra, lion, and elephant. Overhead two padded arches cross, from which dangle more critters, as well as a large mirror and a plastic bead rattle. Hidden below, baby will eventually discover, is a music box that plays Mozart and several nursery tunes. Textures, colors, sounds, and lights abound, and baby has the power to make all these objects squeak and jingle and jitter and flash, as soon as she can figure out how to make those hands and feet and mouth of hers connect with her heart’s desire.

The dangles can be repositioned for endless variety. Babies can lie on their backs and stare up at the colorful dangling toys. The gym will improve babies' hand-eye coordination, and soon they'll be reaching, stretching, kicking, pulling, and rolling-an adorable sight! To put away the gym, simply remove the arches, fold up the quilt, and tuck all the parts into a handy waterproof carrying case. -Kathryn Gustafson.

Safe, durable construction. Included dragon hand puppet. Nine different toys develop sensory and motor skills, and introduces bilingual learning. View larger. Fun That Engages Their Imagination A 2006 AMBY design award winner, the Discover and Play stimulates and entertains your baby by introducing her to colors, shapes, textures, animals, nature, language and movement. Nine interactive toys also aid development of age-appropriate sensory and motor skills. As she gently rocks and spins herself around in the 360 degree swivel seat, she'll build muscle strength and improve balance while exploring the pleasure of physical movement. This play system also encourages bi-lingual learning by introducing basic vocabulary words in a fun and interactive way. There's even a dragon hand puppet to let you get in on the fun, too. Encourages Independent Play Although adult supervision is recommended, the Discover and Play gives your baby the opportunity to independently play and explore in a safe, upright position. Baby will love pressing buttons and listening to music, or exploring different shapes and colors. He can even take a break and enjoy snacks placed on the circular tray-all when and how he wishes. Parents will also appreciate how easy it is to move this portable activity center from room to room, a real bonus when it's time to cook dinner or clean up. Safe, Durable Construction Intended for babies four months old and up to 30 pounds and 32 inches tall, the Discover and Play is sturdy, durable and safe. Three height positions make it a snap to adjust the activity center to fit your growing baby, and stationery kick-stands help limit mobility when it's time for more focused play or a quick snack. The Discover and Play is also easy to care for. Simply machine wash the cloth seat pad in cold water on the delicate cycle, and line dry. To clean the plastic or metal parts, just use a mixture of soap or detergent and water. The Discover and Play has a 27-inch diameter and an overall height of 30 inches. It also weighs 14 pounds, and requires three "AA" batteries (not included).  Also available:     -> About Graco In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

View larger. Enjoy Tummy Time With Your Little One Tummy time is an important developmental activity for newborns. During the first months of life, babies learn how to move their bodies and gain the necessary physical strength for rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. Besides the physical benefits of tummy time, giving your infant playtime on his belly will help minimize any flat spots on his head that may have come from sleeping on his back. The Spin and Explore offers both you and your baby a soft and safe space to make tummy time a pleasurable part of everyday activities. Baby can gently and comfortably spin around on her tummy, stretching and strengthening her upper and lower body while enjoying lots of squeaky, crinkly, tactile fun. After your baby can sit up on her own, you can remove the spinner and let her take advantage of the other visually and physically stimulating features, like the peek-a-boo leaf flap and mirror. Fun, Innovative Design Winner of Redbook's "Hottest Toys of the 2007 Holiday Season," and a Toy Insider 2007 Top 20 pick, the Spin and Explore provides an innovative platform with a unique shape and rotating motion to encourage exploration and give babies the confidence they need to try new things. As his coordination grows, baby is more likely to want to attempt new skills-like twirling around on his tummy to visit his garden pals for tactile play, interaction that motivates him to hold his head up, use his legs, and spin on his stomach. The Spin and Explore can be used with or without the platform and also includes little loops to attach other toys to the play mat. It measures 28. 0 x 5. 5 x 28. 0 inches (WxHxD) and comes with a garden-theme play mat, spinning platform, and ladybug platform cover. It also includes a 90 day limited warranty.

View Product Demo Activity Center Grows With Your Child in Three Stages Children have a lot to learn in the first 24 months of their lives, and there are plenty of toys on the market designed to help them get through different growth stages, from practicing "tummy time" through learning to walk. The ExerSaucer combines three toys in one package, providing an economical and space-saving choice for parents that also gives babies a quality play experience. Stage 1: Exploratory Fun for Newborns Stage 1, for infants from birth through four months, is an activity mat that's designed for helping babies develop focus and learn to reach and grab. Infants can lie on the mat and interact with the toys on the toy bar that arches above, which includes three delightful toys that jingle, rattle, and buzz. The toy bar also plays music - mommy or daddy can turn it on. The activity mat is quite compact in size, making it easy to use in a variety of spaces throughout your home. Stage 2: Helps Baby Prepare for Walking Stage 2 is the classic Exersaucer activity center designed for babies 4 months old until they can walk independently. The activity center stands on sturdy plastic legs that connect the circular activity tray to the saucer-shaped standing platform. The baby sits in the rotating bucket seat in the center with his feet reaching the saucer. He can push off with his feet to turn the seat around to reach any of the activities, which include the toy bar from the activity mat, as well as several other fun, interactive toys that move, spin, and play music. The spring-loaded legs let baby bounce, helping him develop strong leg muscles, and the saucer itself wobbles, allowing baby to practice balancing in a safe environment. Note: your child needs to be able to hold his neck up independently to be ready for this toy, and he must be under 30 inches in height. Stage 3: Interactive Fun for Toddlers Once your child is able to walk independently, he'll be ready for the Stage 3 "activity table. " It is simply a reconfiguration of the Stage 2 ExerSaucer: the standing platform is removed, and the activity ring is reconfigured into an S-shaped table. Its enlongated shape encourages young toddlers to walk from toy to toy. Safe, Secure Fun There are plenty of toys on the market to help your child exercise his legs, but we especially like the versatility and safety of the Stage 2 Exersaucer. It gives babies a safer place to develop his leg muscles than infant "walkers," and it provides a lot more stimulating activities than most baby "bouncers" that we've seen. And we are delighted that the Stage 3 configuration means babies don't have to abandon the fun activities once they start walking. We really like infant activity mats, and this one provides plenty of stimulation with its toy bar. But we wish the padded mat was a bit larger, and, like some other activity mats, that it provided more enticement for babies to practice their "tummy time. " Stage 2 requires quite a bit of adult assembly: in fact, the manual has 11 pages of assembly instructions, and it is quite labor intensive. But once it's put together, your child will be able to use it for many months, and it is much easier to reconfigure into the Stage 3 activity table.

Helps Baby Reach Nine Key Developmental Milestones Made to encourage mental and physical growth while keeping your baby's interest, the ExerSaucer both entertains and helps baby reach nine important developmental milestones. The learning center's bright colors and varying textures aid tactile and visual development, while the different games teach baby about object permanence. Playing with the toys supports healthy hand-eye coordination and hones both gross and fine motor skills. Babies also learn to explore the varying object functions so they gain knowledge of cause and effect relationships. Physical Exercise For a Happy, Healthy Baby Bouncing in the seat, rocking back and forth and turning to see and play with the different toys helps baby's physical development. These movements strengthen neck, back and leg muscles to improve gross motor skills and inspire a love of movement. In addition, the landscaped tray brings the adorable garden-theme toys within baby's reach, while still allowing baby to stretch from different angles as he plays. Comfortable Positioning That Grows With Your Child One of the unique features of this ExerSaucer is that it truly grows with your child. Three height adjustments allow you to ensure a comfortable playing environment, while the three flip-down feet give younger babies the stability they need to attempt rocking and spinning. For added safety, the seat locks in six positions to provide stability. Once inside the ExerSaucer, your baby can sit, stand, rock, bounce, and play with the seven age-appropriate toys, either independently or with mom and dad there to share in the fun. The convenient carrying handle also lets you move the ExerSaucer quickly and easily so your child can play wherever you are in the house. And the removable seat is machine washable for a clean, hygienic play environment.

View larger. View Product Demo Develop Baby's Walking Muscles The Around We Go Activity Station is a unique take on the stationary activity centers that are so popular for infants today. While some activity centers have a seat in the center for the baby that's encircled by an activity tray, the Around We Go station is configured to let baby "walk" around the toys instead. The activities are positioned on a sturdy, plastic table. The baby seat, which is supported by two wheeled legs, attaches to it. Baby sits in the bucket-shaped seat with his feet firmly planted on the ground. He can learn to push off the ground, propelling himself around the table to get to the activity of his choice. Unique Toys for Creative, Challenging Play The Around We Go station is also fresh and unique in the activities it offers. It includes many of the favorite "stand-bys" of other activity centers - bendable stalk toys that encourage tactile exploration, spinning and moving characters that help babies learn about cause and effect. Babies will find these toys entertaining and educational. But we were especially delighted by the magnetic drawing board that includes cute character shapes that let babies make their own, erasable drawings. And the piano keyboard, which has three play modes, features fun, upbeat music that's actually catchy to listen to. It also plays piano tones and cartoonish, animal voices. Perks for Baby and Parents We love the ingenuity of the Around We Go station's set up. Rather than keeping your baby stationary like other activity centers, it helps him satisfy his urge to move; he actually can make himself go from one point to another by using his feet. This gives baby vital, leg-strengthening exercises in a much safer and secure environment than baby walkers. There are perks for parents, too: you can lock the baby seat in place in front of the included snack tray to let him snack safely, and the seat fabric is easily removable and conveniently machine washable. One drawback: this toy is a bit cumbersome, which may present a problem if your living space is limited. However, the seat easily detaches from the table for more compact storage. In fact, when your baby is able to walk on his own, he doesn't have to abandon this toy: simply remove the seat, and he can play at the table independently. This toy requires adult assembly. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver, as well as three C batteries for the toy piano. What's in the Box Activity station, seat carrier, assembly hardware, and instruction guide. The Around We Go supports babies as young as 4 months old and can sit unassisted. View larger. Babies will find the activities fun and developmentally challenging. View larger.

When baby is placed in the seat, he can kick off the ground with his legs to bounce up and down. This provides vital exercise for a youngster's legs, helping to prepare him for walking. The six-point height adjustment lets it grow with your infant, while non-skid feet and fabric-covered springs keep baby safe. Most bouncers stop there - but we're delighted to find that the Activity Jumper also surrounds baby with plenty of fun, interactive toys. The bucket seat can rotate 360 degrees for baby to reach all of the activities. He'll delight in the frog spinner, bead chaser, and baby-proof mirror. The toy also includes 10 Baby Einstein links that can be repositioned and detached from the activity center for on-the-go play, or which serve as attachment points for additional toys. A teether stalk toy helps soothe itchy gums while encouraging "reach and grab" coordination. And the light-up piano keys give baby an interactive introduction to musical creativity with two modes: the "piano notes" mode plays in piano tones, while the "melodies" mode features five classical melodies. Help Your Little One Get Stronger Babies love bouncing. Not only is it exciting for a baby to move himself with the power of his own legs, but it gives him satisfying, and vital, exercise that helps prepare him for standing and walking. The higher and harder that baby bounces in the Activity Jumper, the more the toys will rattle and shake - making it even more exciting and fun. And with the added benefit of a rotating seat, which baby operates by pushing off the ground with his feet, your infant gets even more leg coordination practice in a safe, secure place. We especially enjoy the versatility of this 2-for-1 toy - and it's safer than an infant walker. Other perks for parents: the fabric seat cover is a cinch to remove, and it's machine washable. And unlike some other bouncers, the Activity Jumper folds down flat for much easier storage. While it's erected, however, it takes up a bit of room. And because your baby won't be able to use this toy once he's able to stand and walk unassisted, it has a limited-use timeframe. What's in the Box Activity jumper, assembly hardware, quick start guide, and user's guide.

Baby will enjoy kicking the little beach ball to hear it rattle. Convert to tummy-time mode so baby can strengthen their core and help their EQ with the mirror and reactive toys. Once baby is crawling, convert the gym to the tunnel for some aquatic peek-a-boo. You can still attach the toys, but the fun to be had is crawling in and out or peering through the mesh sides. Manufacturer recommended age is birth to 18 months. -Scott Teal.

A fun seat and toys at five locations on the platform engage baby all the way around, and an electronic toy at the front has motion, music and lights that can be activated by baby spinning a drum. (Mom or Dad can also activate an option for four minutes of continuous play. ) Little explorers will also enjoy playing with the Juperoo's many animals and toys, including a bobbling elephant, a monkey swinging from a vine, a parrot hanging from a bead bar, a clear spinning bead ball, a tiger that plays hide and seek, a spinning lizard that makes rattling sounds, a tethered chew toy, and a stack of chips with eye-catching graphics for baby to explore.

Finally, reaching and grasping onto the baby jumper's toys fosters eye-hand coordination.
