News For Parents - As your baby grows and begins to progress through stages of development, one of the hardest tasks as a parent and perhaps source of costliest mistakes is deciding which activity centers and playsets to purchase for your child.
Sometimes you will find yourself buying two products that overlap, sometimes you’ll find yourself in a situation where you might need something extra as your baby enters in between periods of growth.
One item that is a must have for babies is an exersaucer, from Evenflo
Evenflo makes many exersaucer models, but the one we chose was the Evenflo ExerSaucer Triple Fun – Jungle because it starts out as an activity mat, which then can be converted into a fully functional exersaucer and finally to a creative learning center once your child can walk on their own.
The activity mat setup was simple. It’s basically a soft green leaf shape mat that attaches to the two activity bars from the exersaucer and a great secondary activity mat for a finished basement or upstairs play area for your baby. The mat itself is very basic and you probably want a nice activity mat in the begining as your primary play area.
Once your baby can support their head, neck and back, they are ready for mom and dad to conver the matt into the exersaucer. Setup was not a snap and does require a screwdriver, patience and close attention to the manual. There are spring loaded legs were the most difficult part of the setup only because you have to match the springs exeactly in the right locations inorder to make sure the legs of the saucer can’t buckle and move while your child is jumping around. Other than the spring assembly, installation was a snap.
Why is this exersaucer better than the rest? It’ simply has more activities for your child with two overhead activity bars and removable and interchangeable components all around your baby. Our baby started using his exersaucer this week and has been going absolutely bonkers with it, in fact when his time is up, and we take him out he has a fit because he wants to stay in. Maybe when his muscles are a bit more developed, he can spend more time, but we can tell that his new favorite place to be is in his 3 in 1 jungle.
Once your baby outgrows the exersaucer, the unit turns into a stationery play center in which the child can move about and play at different areas in S shaped activity desk. This product will last through the whole first year of your child’s life opposed to other systems that they will outgrow once they start walking. It’s great for 1-12 month olds.
