Customer Review: Wonderful Exersaucer from a mom of three!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK...this is my first onliine review so bear with me.
I did my reasearch when I decided to replace my middle child's evenflo Exersaucer with a newer one. I came very close to buying the ultrasaucer but then readd many reviews that it was unsafe and the toys were overstimulating, hard and not infant appropriate. I decided to get this one. And I am very happy I did. First of all, we are big fans of Baby Einstien. I put this together in about 30 minutes, it was a cinch! The seat cover is a little tricky to get off once it is on there (misplaced it on the rings and had to redo) but it does come off with a little patience. I think my misplacement of the seat cover on the plastic seat itself took me 15 minutes of the whole assembly time. It goes together without a problem. The ribbon issue that I have read about from other reviewers is no longer an issue because they have obviously corrected this hazard by revamping the toy and there are no ribbons attached to it now. The toy that does have sounds is battery operated and you can replace them as opposed to other exersaucers that when the battery dies, there is no replacement. My four month old son is sitting in this as I type andd very amused and entertained with the toys. I like these toys because they are not very over powering or over stimulating. There are not as many toys as on other models but the toys that are on it are just the perfect and I love the colors! He seems to love it too! So I reccomend this product whole heartedly. Will update as he gets older! Hope he remains this entertained!
Customer Review: What a fabulous exer-saucer!
Summary: 4 Stars
I looked for an exer-saucer for over 2 months that was 100% American made and assembled. Wal-Mart was the last place I looked and to my surprise I found this wonderful exer-saucer. It looked colorful & well made. I did look at the reviews on other websites before we purchased this one. As my husband was putting this together our son wouldn't take his eyes off of the colorful attachments laying on the floor. From the moment we put him in this exer-saucer he has LOVED exploring all of the accessories. He loves to pull the star down and "gum" it- as he is teething. The "3 rollers" make different sounds and he loves the variety of noises (not frustrating for parents ears). I can not get over how enthralled our son is when he plays in this saucer. Typically he would play with his toys for 10-15 minutes...TOPS. Now in this exer-saucer, I can set him in it and make dinner or take a shower for 30 minutes or so and he happy as can be. I HIGHLY recommend this product!
We have just recently purchased this exer-saucer, my husband and I can not testify to the durability of this product YET. So I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5. The only improvement that could be made is that it could bounce like some of the other exer-saucers. But in the grand scheme of things, that one minor feature doesn't bother our son. He has a Johnny Jump Up that he can use for jumping purposes.
Again, I highly recommended this exer-saucer. It is a fabulous play center for any mom looking for a fun way for your children to play and learn!
Customer Review: My daughter loves it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this for her at 3 and half months. We had a playmat, but she was rolling over and ending up on the floor so it was time to upgrade. We looked at a bunch, some that had lots of little toys all over it, some that bounced, the leapfrog ones too. I liked the look of the Baby Einstein, and already had videos to tie it in with. In the store, we sat her in it, and instantly I could see that she was engaged. She was just learning to master her grabbing technique and her eyes were intensely looking at the sun - which rattles! She is now six months and is overjoyed with with all of the features of this toy. From the three rollers that have different sounds (bells, beeds, and snappy sounds) to the puppet and sun that she likes to chew on, the globe she likes to spin, and finally the animal buttons. Those are great, each time she touches the button it does something different. The middle, which is a duck, quacks, on the first touch, then says "duck", on the second touch, says "duck" in spanish(pato), and third touch, plays classical music (each time the music comes on she smiles and wiggles!!). The same idea applies for the other 4 buttons, which are a cow, dog, cat and lion. A wonderful toy that fully engages your child, and as their mind develops, offers new perspective to the toys they were simply chewing on months before, soon she'll look through the little book they have and be able to identify the animals! This was the best purchase I've made for my baby, and it's was around $10 less then the Leapfrog toy.Customer Review: I'd give it SIX stars
Summary: 5 Stars
I never take the time to write a review unless something is either really great or horrible, so rest assured that this product is awesome. My 6 month old LOVES IT! He likes to try to put all the things in his mouth and loves the animal noises, the english and spanish animal names and tunes that play on the musical toy. He plays with every toy on what we call "the stimulator" and looks up to us and laughs. It's even more fun when we get to play along with him.
He also gets tons of exercise, since he's not able to crawl yet, but always wants to stand and bounce on our laps, so this is the perfect way for him to feel independent and mobile. He jumps up and down in it like crazy, and I get a couple minutes of hands-free time to write a review like this. I am very against using this, or a swing, bouncer, tv or any other related thing as a "babysitter", so I take him out the second he looks like he's had enough stimulation, and everyone's happy.
Also, to be a true review, I have to add that I checked the other ones out at Babies R' Us before buying, and not only are they not as good, but they are significantly inferior to this one. Leapfrog is the only one that comes close, but even that one pales in comparison. Baby Einstein has done a great job with the whole package. The colors are great, the toys are sturdy, age-appropriate and mouth-friendly, and it's high on the educational factor as each toy works a different fine and/or major skill.
buy it buy it.
Customer Review: Tried all at the store, this is the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
My baby is 5 months old and LOVES this toy! However, with these kind of toys, I think it really depends on the baby to decipher which toy is really the "best". I took my baby to babies r us and she "picked" this one. She could really care less about the rest, which either seemed to bore her (Exersaucer Mega) or annoy her (Smart Steps- the mobile hanging down hit her on the head and was in the way, not fun).
As I am a mother who feels guilty letting toys "babysit" your child, I feel like this toy at least offers some great qualities which enhance my baby's motor skills and speech. I worked with an Occupational Therapist for a couple of years, and many of the items on the play center are items we used at the facility to enhance motor skills. I take her out of it after 15-20 minutes because some doctors believe these things can damage their spine/hips if you leave them in for too long, and she cries when I remove her.
I also love how it is interactive. The puppet allows great bonding between parent/child as well as the animal sound device. I dance when she presses on the song and it encourages her to do so more.
This was incredibly easy to assemble. Took me about 5 minutes and comes apart easily to store. Seems very secure for child and doesn't appear to have any parts that could harm my baby (ie: where she could get fingers stuck). I absolutely love this playcenter and would highly recommend it to any mother looking for a little break without feeling guilty!
