There are nine stimulating toys within baby’s reach on this Baby Einstein activity center to help develop important sensory and motor skills. Ergonomically designed, the seat makes activities strain-free for independent learning, but the 3-position height adjustment grows with baby as they become more engaged and have interactive playtime with parents.

Graco Baby’s activity center hosts items that teach colors, shapes, textures, animals, music, and more. The language feature has a bevy of simple words played in English and Spanish to encourage talk-back, repetition, and retention. The pièce de résistance of this feature: with each word ("gato" or "cat", for example), there is a real-world photograph, rather than illustration, of the animal which is associated with it, making it easier for babies to recognize.

The Baby Einstein activity center offers three motion options. Its stationary position is nice for snack time or interactive play with others (the hand puppet attachment being ideal for this). The gentle rocking motion provides a soothing sensation for agitated babies, while the 360-degree swivel feature allows access to the entire tray when baby is playing alone.

Baby Einstein Activity Center toys include:

• Green dragon hand puppet
• Blue bead-filled, spinning globe
• Shape tower with cloth triangle, circle, and square
• Set of three spinning wheels that rattle, squeak, and chime
• Orange rubber teething star
• Yellow sun rattle
• Horseshoe loop with five colorful, moveable beads
• Plastic book with pages featuring animal pictures
• Buttons that play animal names, sounds, and music when pressed

The fabric seat pad is removable and machine washable. All metal and plastic parts can be cleaned with regular soap and water. Three AA batteries (not included) and adult assembly are required.

Editorial Reviews
There are at least 8 stimulating toys within hands’ reach with this latest Baby Einstein creation, together offering enough interest and diversity to teach new colors, textures, shapes, musical scores, realistic animal depictions and sounds, and a bevy of bilingual words. The marquee feature: with each word or sound ("chien", "gato", or "cat", for example), there is a photographed, rather than illustrated, animal which is realistically associated with it. Simple words cited in several languages encourage talk-back, repetition, and retention. A hand-puppet offers interactive play with big people and a textured array of shapes, sizes, and colors aid sensory development and hand-eye coordination. Ergonomically designed, the seat makes activities strain-free (for children up to 30 pounds or about 32 inches). Learning and playing is therefore more independent, but that’s not to say parents shouldn’t join in the fun. Requires adult assembly and 3, AA batteries. --Diane Beall

Better then the rest
We decided that for the holidays we'd make a big toy purchase for our new son, something he could enjoy for a while. It had to educational, fun, safe and worth the money. The Baby Einstein Caterpillar Entertainer is all that. At first we were looking at the ExerSaucer - Ultra and ExerSaucer - Delux, but after much research found that the toys had server major problems including being too high for babies legs, shape toys that could hurt baby, sound toys that could barely be heard and with no replaceable batteries and too many toys/ toys that over stimulated baby. With the Caterpillar, it seems like the developers looked at every problem the Exersaucer had and made sure it wasn't the case with their product. The toys are all baby friendly, the electronic portion comes with an off, hi and low sound option and the batteries are replaceable, there is a puppet connected so older siblings or adults can play along with baby and there isn't so many toys that the baby gets over stimulated or confused. Not to mention the toy doesn't rely on electronics to entertain your child but instead also offers 8 other activities in bright friendly colors that encourages baby to play and learn. The seat is still a little too high for our son, (about 2 inches) but a phone book beneath his feet does the trick. We were so excited about this toy that we couldn't wait for Christmas to give it to him and were glad because he loves it.

Thank God for Baby Einstein
This is a lifesaver. I originally purchased the Leap Frog Learning Station which my son absolutely loves, but he is a big boy. At 30 inches and only 7 1/2 months, he has far outgrown the Leap Frog, so we needed something just as fun and educational that would work with his height. Fortunately, this entertainer grows with your child up to 32 inches which still gives him time to play and learn. All of the other enteratiners have a max height of 30 inches =( I highly recommend this product especially if you have an above average child as we do!

Choking Hazard-Product Recall
BEWARE THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN RECALLED
My baby choked on the plastic coating of the blocks on this toy. The plastic coating came off and she choked on it. It was very scary and she could not breath for some time. If you look up this recall it is only listed as "Soft Tower Blocks" but it is part of this toy. If you already have it, remove the block tower and call Graco for a new one. Throw it away. My baby almost died and I would not want anyone else's to die. Check out http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07176.html for more information.
