Customer Review: LIFESAVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a first time mom, and my daughter is now 7 months old. We got this for her in November @ 4 months, and it has been my most "worth it for the money" baby purchase. Since she was a newborn she always liked to be held so that she could stand, either on your lap or otherwise, so when she was old enough to have control over her top half we though this would be a great purchase and it was. The first time we put her in her saucer, she was so excited to be able to play with toy from a different perspective. The height adjustments are perfect, and haven't had any problem as others have. She loved every toy on it, and as she learned to turn herself in the saucer, she would discover the other toys like they were new again. Now she's a pro at spinning and playing with the toys, and loves the sound center. We have Baby Einstein time where she watches her BE DVD's and plays in her saucer. I would never get anything done around the house if it werent for this purchase. Its good to know that your baby will be safely occupied if you need to leave the room for minute. I definitely recommend this to ANY parent. My mother even bought one to keep @ her house she loved it so much.Customer Review: Wonderful saucer
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter has been using this since she was almost 4 months old, and 4 months later, she still loves it. My only complaint is that the "book" pages are a little hard for her to turn. This does not seem to frustrate her, she eventually gets it just right, or moves on to another toy. She loves to manipulate all of the toys. There are plenty of soft textures for her to chew on, and the harder toys are well designed so they do not scratch her or hurt her gums. She seemed to recognize the dragon from the video and laughed when I said "blah!!!!" while moving the puppet. She learns cause and effect with the noise-makers. It will be interesting to see if she uses "vaca", "perro", "pato" and "leon" instead of their English counterparts when she begins to talk. It is fairly easy to carry the saucer up or down stairs, depending on which room I need it in.
Update- my daughter is 15 months old and still enjoys this toy. However, when she was learning to stand, it was a little tipsy. Also, the braces that pull out to make it more steady are a little jagged, so when she crawled underneath it sometimes they would scratch her. Still a good toy, though!
Customer Review: Awesome!!!

We got 2 of these for our twins. They both loved them from the start. There is such a wide variety of activities. Some were too advanced when we first began using it, but they eventually learned how to play with each of the items on the saucer. We kept the feet up to make it easier to move the saucers around. My daughter (a wild child) used to slam herself back & forth an would scoot across the carpet. It was quite a sight. Even after they learned to walk and refused to be confined in the saucer, we kept one of them in the room and removed the seat so they could continue to play with it. Now that they are 15 months, we finally had to remove it completely due to lack of space.
My only criticism is with the attachment of a couple of the toys. The rubber starfish (a consistent favorite) and the book were easily detached as the babies got older & more coordinated. The starfish wasn't a big deal, but the book has pointy hooks on the back and could potentially be dangerous if thrown or fallen on.
This toy is easy to assemble & disassemble. I traveled with it several times with no problem. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend.
Customer Review: Superior to Exersaucer
Summary: 5 Stars
I orginally was given the Exersaucer Mega as a gift for my five and a half month son, but decided to exchange it for this product after researching both the Exersaucer and the Caterpillar Entertainer. There were quite a few parents who wrote in about the certain toys on the Exersaucer having to be removed because they pinched their child. Another major concern was a choking incident with one of the anchors that came loose on the exersaucer. When I inspected the item at Babies R Us, it was apparent that this could happen very easily. In fact I am surpirsed that Evenflo did not have to recall the product or supply a replacement toy to owners of the Mega Exersaucer. The toys on this entertainer are softer and appear to be higher quality than some of the toys on the Evenflo Exersaucers. Don't be lured in by the number of toys on the exersaucers. At least four of them do nothing to stimulate your child. Each and every toy on this entertainer encourages gross motor skill development. The only toy that my son is not all that interested in is the puppet. However that may change as time goes on. I would highly recommend this product.Customer Review: Every infant needs an exersaucer
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter loves this. I bought it for her when she was 4 mos old. Even on the lowest height setting she had to stand on her tip toes. Not for long though now she rotates, jumps, pounces pulls and chews on the toys. The buttons that make the animal sounds are her favorite. The only con lies with the issue of portability. It is not easy to break down and transport. It is cumbersome. Even taking it from room to room requires some manipulation to fit through the doorways. That said, I would still buy it again. My suggestion is to take your infant with you to the store before you purchase any of these bouncers/saucers/entertainers. Choose a store that has various models on display. I had planned to buy the Evenflow saucer, however, my daughter seemed overwhelmed by all of the toys on the Evenflow. There were a few saucers that really didn't hold her attention at all. That is how I decided on the Baby Einstein. She instantly began squealing and playing with the toys. One infant's junk is another infant's treasure. For the bigger ticket toys, it is worthwile to know how it will be received before you make the purchase.
