Bright Starts Entertain & Grow Saucer - Pink

The Bright Starts Entertain & Grow Saucer has been used since Victory was just 4 months. At first we had to put a pillow under her feet to keep her legs from dangling but around 6 months she no longer needed the pillow. This saucer has 3 height settings, an overhead toy bar with 2 toys, 4 toy links and 5 other fun activities. The seat rotates 360 degrees allowing your child to access all of the toys. There is also a removable infant insert that I couldn't get to stay on but doesn't hinder the performance, I would use a rolled up blanket instead. This saucer is recommended for babies up to 25 pounds that are able to hold their heads up unassisted, do not walk and can't climb out. The assembly is minimal and takes only a few minutes. Victory is now 11 months and still uses it from time to time however she is mobile now and doesn't seem as interested, in my opinion babies from 6 to 10 months would enjoy it the most. The toys are not battery operated and this saucer does not play music. Overall I think this saucer is a great buy and would buy it again if I had to. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.


Baby Trend - Baby Activity Walker with Toys, Kiku

This baby walker accommodates babies from about 6 months up to 30 pounds or 32 inches which ever comes first. It is not battery operated and seems very plain but if you are looking for a simple walker this may be the one for you. The toy bar is removable and there is a large tray which is great for snacks and other toys. Victory did have some trouble getting it to move on the carpet but it seemed to do ok on bare floors. As far as height goes this walker has 3 adjustable height settings but did not go low enough for Victory. She was around 28 inches tall at the time and even on the lowest setting it seemed like she had to stand on her tippy toes. The wheels are multi-directional which allow the baby to go back and forth as she pleases. The best thing about this walker is it's ability to fold flat for storage. I can easily slide it under her crib, our couch or even in a corner somewhere. This walker is a very basic walker with no extra bells and whistles and is not as attractive as some higher end models however it is very reasonably priced and does serve it's purpose. That being said I probably would not buy it again and would opt for a higher end model. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.
