I wanted to wait to write this review as I had read other’s kids didn’t like this play centre at 4 months and returned theirs, where as the others who purchased at a later time, their kids seemed to love it.
I went and purchased mine at 4 months anyways because my son had outgrown his infant bouncer chair and was desperate to have a place to safely put him down. I’m glad I waited on this review, cuz at 4 months my son SOBBED every time I put him in it. The only time he seemed slightly okay, was the squeaky owl toy if I did it for him. ONE month later, he could occupy himself in it forever!! Every single feature (besides the bowl at the moment) is used by him and each provide different developmental features which I also love.
My favourite part is this toy is seeming to teach him a lot of developmental milestones that usually are refined at later months. I’m not sure at what point he will get sick of this stuff, but with each toy being detachable, it gives me the opportunity to rotate toys off and replace them with some of our own toys to give him variations and “excitement” to this activity centre; A feature I’m so thankful comes with this because often times the toys cannot be taken off. Only thing that could make this better is if the suction clamps could be taken off the toys so he could use them both on and off the table.
This activity centre looks great in any living room as it’s not clunky, and the vibrate colours are saved for the table top toys. The added bonus that it will eventually convert to a full table with purchasable chairs makes me feel like I can get some long term use of it, especially considering the price tag. Unlike some I have never had a toy break or be damaged. I’ve wiped this thing down pretty aggressively at clean-up and my son although only 5 months, by all means is never gentle with any of the toys and I haven’t had one break or break suction.
Highly recommend, and genuinely believe its worth the value.
Edit to add: After my son outgrew the activity centre, we converted it to a table. It has seen so much love and not a single thing on it has been damaged. We are now on to baby #2, and have converted it back to the activity center. Just like my son, she is loving it at 5/6 months old and can do 15 minutes in it no fuss!
