Customer Review: Our Hard-to-Please Baby Loves It!
Summary: 5 Stars
When our baby was 5 months old, I noticed that she really wanted to stand on her own and was getting a little bored being on her back/tummy during playtime. Since all stationary walkers are a bit pricey, my husband and I decided to take our baby to the store and test out each one by seeing her reaction to the toys. She immediately loved this one. Our baby tends to be picky when it comes to toys and loses interest quickly, but she has stayed in her Baby Einstein for about 30 minutes, happily playing with all of the toys. Here are the best features:
*There's a hand puppet which allows me to interact with her while she's playing in there.
*It has a mirror, which most 5-8 month old babies seem to love.
*There is a toy that makes animal sounds when pressed, and my baby adores hearing the cow, cat, and dog sounds.
*One of the toys, where a ball is moved around a stiff wire, seem to help with hand-eye coordination.
This exersaucer allows me to cook food, clean, and get a few minutes to myself all while watching my very content baby enjoy herself. It's well worth the money.
Customer Review: Creative, interactive fun!

I purchased the Baby Einstein Discover and Play center to keep at the office for days my then-5-mnth-old son, Toby, was with me at work. He immediately loved the musical buttons and the sun, and ignored everything else. As he grew, he discovered the other toys one by one. It was exciting to watch him perfecting the different skills necessary to manipulate the activities.
Because I used the Baby Einstein as a secure place for meals, it needed regular cleaning. The seat pops right off for easy cleaning, but the cloth saddle is a little hard to unsnap from the base. Overall, the assembly is pretty easy - I put it together myself and I am NOT mechanically inclined.
I definitely recommend the Baby Einstein activity center. I looked at several other brands and was turned off by all the obnoxious toys and activities. I wanted something Toby could learn from, not just be dazzled by the bells and whistles. I can't say Toby learned any Spanish from the language buttons, but the Baby Einstein kept my son engaged even at 11 months, when his willingness to stay in one place was usually short-lived.
Customer Review: Best Activity Center/Saucer out there...my son picked it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister originally bought my son the Leap Frog Learn 'n' Groove (at 4 months), but he found that one boring (we tried for 1 1/2 months). So, we decided to take him to the store (at 6 months) and put him in a few saucers to see which one he seemed most interested in. He immediately started playing with the colorful toys on this Baby Einstein play center. He fit perfectly and he didn't react the same way to any others so we bought this one. We put him in at home on day 1 and he was spinning and playing with the various toys. He was having fun compared to the Leap Frog one before. The toys are great -- good cause and effect -- easy to spin the seat -- and not too many toys to be overwhelming. My recommendation for parents is to wait until your child is almost 5 months and then take them to the store and let them help you choose what will work best for them because every baby is different and what may work for one baby may not for another. I just wish I had done this a month ago so he could have had this play center sooner. But, at least we figured it out and he's happy with his Baby Einstein.Customer Review: Good way to occupy a hard to please boy

We purchased this item used and it is so far the best toy we've bought thus far. Your child can safely use this exersaucer (or any exersaucer for that matter) as long as he/she can't walk and isn't too tall for it. My son loves all the toys, not just a few. He really enjoys the animal buttons, although gets frustrated when he can't make it play music right away. You have to push the same button four times consecutively without pushing any other buttons. That is a difficult task at this age. He only loses patience when he's tired though. The other toy he really loves is the dragon puppet. I stick my hand in it and talk to my son in a different voice. He loves the interaction and the dragon was the first toy he sort of "kisses." He also pulls himself up and stands holding on to the exersaucer and plays with the toys that way. I put the stabilizers down so it doesn't rock and it sort of unofficially functions as an activity table. The exersaucer shows no wear even though my son is the second child to use it. It washes clean very easily and the seat is removable to throw in the wash if need be.Customer Review: The best investment EVER!!

We bought the caterpillar activity center about a week ago, and I absolutly love it. My daughter is 5 months old and was getting to big to play under her activity gym. (I would put her under it and a minute later she would be turned around, out from under it, and trying to kick it over!) Anyway, my husband was skeptical at first and it took some convincing, but he decided to give it a try. We took our daughter to the store to try them out and she Loved the Baby Einstein caterpillar. We also have read research that says if babies are exposed to other languages at a young age, then as and adult they will learn foreign languages faster and easier. So, a few hours later and a very easy assembly, our daughter couldn't be any happier. Her hand-eye coordination has drastifcally improved and she is even doing better at sitting up without assistance. She plays with all the toys, and we couldn't be any happier. If you don't own this, Go out and buy it today! It will not only make life more fun for your child, it will make your day much easier. Everyone loves a happy and entertained baby!
