Tiny Love 5-in-1 Stationary Activity Center

My 18 month old twins were a bit premature, and they've really taken their time beginning to walk. I'm pretty sure it's mainly just because they figured out how to get everyone to do things for them and don't care to try since they crawl so well. One guy just started walking a couple weeks ago, and the other is perfectly happy to cruise on furniture. We did have one mobile and one stationary bouncer style activity center for them until recently, but I believe they are detrimental to their progress with walking at this point so I was actually looking into activity tables to encourage them to be fully upright and mobile. For my six year old, we had one that converted into a fun, engaging activity table after she had outgrown the seat. Unfortunately, the ones I have for my current toddlers don't grow with them so I was actually quite excited to receive the Tiny Love 5-in-1 Here I Grow Stationary Activity Center. My daughter's didn't have as many toys to look at as this one does, and it definitely didn't have the super cool ability to transform the bouncer base into a matching mini stool. The meadow creature themed activities are thoughtfully well made and highly engaging with sounds, colors and lights, but without the usual gaudy baby toy look to where I wouldn't like having it in my modern style living room. The stool is awesome to help teach coordination and balance, as well as fine tuning baby's gross motor skills. Of course mine would let me show him how to sit on it, but decided almost right away that he'd rather use it to stand on and grab things from overhead and drop various fun things through the small hole in the center of the seat. Those activities build reasoning and coordination skills too though so I'll take it and simply make a mental note to set it up clear away from any walls or tempting cabinetry. The Tiny Love activity center may not be the first developmental toy to come to mind for your older infant or toddler, but I think you'd be surprised.
