This product is absolutely AMAZING ! I threw my 3 month old in the display model as a joke to raise my wife's blood pressure and he* went nuts! and started playing with all the toys like crazy, he doesn't sit up yet on his own so seeing everything from this view and having a slight support from the foot base was great for him. He started spinning himself around and going from toy to toy like a mad child. Everyone in the store had to stop and watch him and I had to buy it because I have never seen him so active and excited on his own.
Best investment I've made, it also turns into a table when he gets older. It's made out of great sturdy material, So dads if you want to buy your son/daughter this Gold Gym membership to get a true workout, this is a solid buy!
I also think this will hands down enhance your child's motor skill development.

My baby was born with missing limbs and only one semi usable finger. Recently she has started getting frustrated when given toys since she is unable to grab things. I bought this for her when she was 2 or 3 months old for christmas. My main concern was that she would not be able to okay with tge attatchable toys or that they would require too much force to be played with. I out it together this morning and out her in it. Every single toy that it came with was easy to play with for her. I only wish the bottom were stretchy so she could jump
PROS:
- Great quality
- Easy to use toys
- Eye catching, gender neutral, not tacky colors
- Sturdy
- Grows with baby
Cons:
- Wish the base straps were stretchy so she could jump
This is amazing for all of the reasons included in the product description. Want to know what isn't written there? In addition to serving as a great source of entertainment, and let's be honest, giving mama a much needed hands-free break, this unit is basically a MAGIC POOP PRODUCER. My eight-month-old has struggled with constipation ever since she started on solids but a few minutes in this bad boy and, without fail, we have a special delivery. We literally call it the poop machine and we send her for a ride anytime she's gone a day or so without a deposit. Best feature ever!
So yes, the design is very clean and sophisticated compared to most bouncers, the toys are easy to move around for a "different" play experience, and it's awesome that it grows with the child. But it's the poop factor that makes this item one of the best baby purchases ever. Yes, EVER! Everyone should have one of these. In fact, we originally bought a Fisher Prive Jumparoo and returned it for this one.
My son absolutely loves this... he is only 10 weeks old and was already frustrated with not sitting up. He just didn't want to be a regular baby anymore. So this seat helps him to set more upright (with supervision of course). He is happy and playing with each of the toys. The little keyboard is his favorite and he understands that he need to hit the keys to get the music to play. I love that all of the toys have suction cups and can be removable or movable. I look forward to the opportunity to have more items for purchase so that I can change up his toys. I also moved the base level much lower so that he will not try to stand too early. I plan to bring it up higher for him when his legs are stronger to handle it.
UPDATE: My boy is 19 weeks now and still loves this thing... he is in it for play time throughout the day. The only thing I wish is that Skip Hop would create more of a variety of toys to suction on to the table top. Anyways, this is amazing... so much so that I bought another one to put at grandma's house as well... I love that my boy can use this for the years to come, that is really the great part about it.
I've been through 3 excersaucers and 1 jumperoo with 2 babies. This is my favorite. I assembled it with no tools in 5 minutes! My 6 months old loves it! It looks super cool and minimalist. I wish my house looked as good as this thing does.

I wish I could give this more stars we love it!!!
It keeps my baby entertained and learning. It's not bulky and it's very easily moved from room to room.
This is not a jumper (I'm not sure why some people think it is.). It helps baby learn to balance and I love it more than a jumper my baby hates all the jumpers. I think they were too overwhelming.
I love that the seat can be removed for cleaning and I love that it can turn into table.
The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the hole that the piano leaves when you turn it into a table.
But I love how the toys are removeable and can be changed around. Love the colors as well.
Overall one of the best purchases I've made for my baby so far.
We are very happy with this purchase! We started our daughter in this the day she turned 4 months and its become her (and our) favorite gadget for her. She had good head control at that point- they need to be able to hold their upper body up with some assistance. I haven't seen many activity centers that start at 4 months and if they do, I would worry we would only use it for a month or so. This one evolves over time to help justify the cost.
The toys are simple looking but all have unique movements that challenge in different ways for different ages. The look of it is modern, clean and pleasing to the eye. Some activity centers are monstrosities.
While skip hop does not sell extra accessories, I did buy a sassy brand spinning wheel with a suction cup that suctions on to the table like the other toys that come with it. I actually like that I am able to add toys from other brands. Its easier to incorporate toys my baby actually likes that way. Its just another way its adaptable.
I agree with others that the bumblebee bowl does not have a very strong suction. It is a little pointless. Thats about the only negative I've run into.
Regardless, the bowl is not a huge deal. I am still very pleased with the purchase!
Our five month old loves it! We received it yesterday and immediately put it together then placed our daughter in it and she instantly started playing with the toys. I also really like that it's not obnoxiously colored or decorated. It goes so nicely in our small home without making it look like a toy store. Thank you skip hop!
My son has been using this since he was 4 months old as he was always obsessed with using his legs. He was a little too small for it at the start and didn't have the core strength so we wrapped some swaddles around him to keep him upright. As he grew he became more sturdy and by 5 months he was standing straight and banging away at each of the stations. Now at 6 months he sits perfectly still with no assistance and is trying to walk with support - I absolutely attribute this to this activity gym. At the moment his favorite part of the activity gym are the beads that he likes to move up and down, which I find absolutely incredible since he is still so young. This is definitely on my "must buy" list for babies.
One minor complaint, and as mentioned by others is that spit up/vomit does get stuck under the glass viewing window and there seems to be no way to get it out to clean.
Great company. Great product. If you're on the fence about purchasing, just do it! You won't regret it! My baby loves it and it's a very attractive product. I love the music on the piano and baby girl loves pushing the keys. I bought the sassy wonder wheel and attached it also. It's a great addition. I only wish skip hop had more additions because my baby is so high maintenance. Meaning she gets bored easily. Overall, I researched many activity centers and I'm very glad I chose this one. It was even easy to travel with. I just unclicked the legs from the table and it laid flat in my car. I'm very impressed and glad I chose this one! Money well spent!!!!
