Baby Einstein Discover and Play Activity Center Review

by col

The activity center is great once your child has good head control. I have read that it is used for babies 6 – 12 months. However, I have to say my daughter was using it by 4 months and enjoying it! Once she could reach the base and had head control, she began playing in this activity center. The vibrant primary colors will surely grasp your child’s attention. The textures will stimulate his senses. He will want to probably chew on the bright yellow sun and the orange star, but that is great for oral stimulation. It is so important that your baby discovers various textures. Your child can work on gross and fine motor control while sitting/standing with support, reaching, grabbing, and banging the many different pieces. He can work on learning the concept of cause and effect by hitting the buttons to hear the animal names (in English and Spanish), animal sounds and music. By the way, the seat is machine washable, swivels 360 degrees and has a 3 position height adjustment. A physical therapist once told me that a child should use it for only 15 minutes/day.
