User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great toy
This is great. We bought this when our daughter started sitting up and couldn’t safely sit in her bouncy chair anymore. She loves it!! She doesn’t really bounce yet.
As to the paint issues people have mentioned: We have not noticed this at all. I even tried to scrape the paint off and it didn’t come off.
We gave it 4 instead of 5 stars for a few reasons.
1) our daughter started out in the middle height setting and has almost outgrown it. She is not even in the 50th percentile (@ 6mos old) and I think she will outgrow it before she starts walking.
2) Putting it together was not hard except for screwing on the stars (the springs are underneath). They can be really hard to turn.
3) It is priced a little high.
It can be a little over stimulating when she is tired. We took the toy off that was under the hanging part. We rotate that toy with the other interchangeable toys to keep it fresh for her. She loves sticking her fingers in the empty spot as much as playing with any of the toys! I guess that’s the same as when kids would rather play with the boxes than the actual toys.
Other than that we really love this. It was SO worth the money!
5 Stars Baby Keeper
I bought this for my great-grandchild as per request of the mom and dad so I can’t really say how good it is as the baby is yet to be born. Picture wise it looks like fun and will keep the baby busy for a good bit. It folds up nicely which helps the parents to cart it along with them when they visit friends or family.
5 Stars Baby loves it and mommy loves it!
The 6 month old who received this gift loves her exersaucer. It has so many lights and moving objects that she is always happy to be placed in it. She laughs and turns as she plays with all the new toys that surround her. It seems perfect for a baby to stimulate, educate, entertain and help development of hand – eye coordination. It’s fun for baby and a nice break for Mommy.
2 Stars not as thrilled…
I am not as thrilled with others when it comes to this product. One of the springs in the globe got off track and there is NO way to fix it. We have tried and tried to undo the globes and fix it but it is impossible. It is also a little insane how many batteries this piece takes…Looking back now, I would have chosen a different model/brand.
3 Stars Like It But Don’t Love It
My five month old daughter has been using her exersaucer for a month.
Pros: Very colorful and stimulating. My daughter enjoys her exersaucer for about 15 minutes a day. There are many different activities for her to play with. Every day, she discovers something new to push, pull, or chew on. It is fun to watch her progress, and I am confident that the exersaucer has improved her gross and fine motor skills. The seat turns easily and she enjoys that it rocks when she moves around.
Cons: It takes way too many batteries! The iPod-looking device has buttons that are difficult for an infant to push. The yellow paint of the stars on the clear domes that cover the springs flakes badly. Her hands will often be covered in the flecks. One of the buttons on the puppy piano has a white kitten on it, but the button will tell you that the cat is orange when pushed. I am sure that this won’t confuse my child any time soon, but it seems to be a silly mistake.
