"Good way to occupy a hard to please boy" | 2008-08-26 |
| - Reviewed By neesybeth |
| 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. |

"My son loved it.... But beware!!!!" | 2008-06-20 |

My son loved to play in this bouncer. There are many toys that kept him busy. He loved the star, globe and especially the three soft blocks. However, please be aware there was a recall on this item regarding the three soft blocks attachment. Older models had a plastic tip that if got loose may be a choking hazard. The newer models are fixed but if you have an older model the company with send you a new soft block piece to replace the old one.

| This product was great, until my baby started to chew on the caterpillar and the yellow paint on the balls started to come off. Even if it is not lead paint (which they claim) I still don't want my baby to eat paint!!! What are they thinking painting chewable toy for infants. Just unreal....I am returning this product and looking info different toys. |

"poor construction" | 2008-04-27 |
| - Reviewed By mar7590 |
We bought this instead of buying a walker when my son was 7 mo old. At first it wasn't very attrctive to my son, but then once he discovered the musical toys, he was hooked. Never liked the puppet.
The product arrived without the sun shaped toy. then the legs gave up a month later. The legs are not durable. at first we thought the hinges to be the problem. Called Graco, ordered replacement parts. They arrived within 10 days. However, even after we replaced the hinges, the legs would buckle - the area were the hinge is aparently has gotten wider and the hinge doesn't stay put. I agree with another reviewer that 4 legs would be better than 3.
I also agree with other reviewers that the 3 language feature is useless. My son is 14mo now, over 25lb and he still plays in it for 15-20 min stretches. Hence 4 stars, otherwise the construction warrants 3 stars

"Baby loves it but stabilizer foot broke a month after purchase" | 2008-02-24 |
| - Reviewed By kcoshea |
| Overall we are happy with the purchase. Each week our daughter seems to discover something new about the toys and is captivated once again. The animal noise maker is a big hit and the noise/music is not annoying like some toys, plus it can be turned off which is a great feature. The only complaint I have is that one of the red stabilizer feet that keep the saucer from rocking broke after only a month (I would guess it was less than 10 hours of play time). We have to prop up one side with a book when we don't want her rocking. |

"Great exersaucer!" | 2008-02-12 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3DYBJNAHYWSYX |
I bought this for my 4 month old and at the time he was a little young. Got tired too easily in it. However, now at 5 months - he loves it! He uses his hands to press the buttons - his favorite is the round musical toy with lights and sounds. It doesn't really allow him to jump which is ok. But, he does manage to turn a little with his feet and move the inside chair to find the different toys. For the most part, I turn him after a while so he doesn't get too bored with one toy. I will agree with two cons listed from another review: One of the toys on the activity center (the book to be exact) wouldn't fully snap into place during assembly and bulges in the middle a bit. It is staying put, but it has definitely got a manufacturing defect. - And lastly... if the child spits up or drools (which happens ALL THE TIME), it's hard to clean up the mess because there are so many little crevasses and tight spots on the surface. Overall, this product is very entertaining, and very safe to allow mommy a little time to get things done!

"What a fabulous exer-saucer!" | 2008-02-02 |
| - Reviewed By User: A2LXEJSQEMO8FI |
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!

"Love this Gym" | 2008-02-01 |
| - Reviewed By User: AV1CW88Y7GRS6 |
| My 5 month old son LOVES this gym.. it is fun, educational and it keeps him occupied for long periods of time if I need to get something done around the house. It has many things to do on it.. and it also teaches both English and Spanish words. His favorite is the little round twisty things that make noise when you turn them. This item is a little more expensive but worth the money.. it's sturdy and durable. The reason I took away a star was because one of the little leg attachments along the bottom that make the gym stand still.. kept on falling through the hole because the plastic piece wasn't strong enough. I had to place a napkin inside so it wouldn't move. Now it's fine. Still in all, I recommend this item to any Mom.. also a great shower gift idea. |

| This Entertainer has served so many purposes! My baby started using it around 5 months old and still loves it now that he is 8 months. We purchased a stationary bouncer as well that he began using at 4 months. He lost interest in it around 6 months. In this Baby Einstein Entertainer, he has so many options for what to play with and what to look at. The sounds and toys offer such a variety of fun and stand up to his happy beatings. Well worth the money! |
