OVERVIEW Activity Centers, also known as "exersaucers" and "play centers", can provide babies with their first source of independent play, long before they can sit up on their own or reach the toy bars on swings and bouncers. The stationary sets also provide baby with a safe place to play, provided they can hold their head up and steady (younger babies who do not have good head control could end up doing a face plant or head-butting the center, and could really hurt themselves). Most babies are ready for an Activity Center at 4 or 5 months of age.
Moms will delight at the almost overwhelming amount of distraction and amusement available to babies at the crucial time when they are too young to sit up or crawl but demanding more stimulation. Your baby will use it several times a day, every day, for months.
Activity centers are available in many shapes and sizes and come with a variety of toys and activities that allow baby to bat, spin, touch, press, twirl, shake, open and slide. Many centers also come with a variety of lights and sounds to stimulate your baby.
