The Evenflo ExerSaucer Mega active Learning Center provides hours of activity for your little one while helping them grow, develop, and flourish. Evenflo has managed to improve upon the award-winning ExerSaucer with new features and accessories.

| The Evenflo ExerSaucer Mega active Learning Center is designed for education and entertainment. |
The assembly process is fairly involved, and you will need to set aside at least 30 minutes to get it all put together. I would recommend checking out Evenflo's website for video instructions for assembly, as the paper instructions that come with the ExerSaucer are not as intuitive as necessary. Once construction is complete, the ExerSaucer Mega becomes the ultimate activity center helping baby develop body and mind. Inside the Learning Center baby can bounce, rock, swivel, and spin. Made of durable, molded plastic, the learning center can be used indoors or outdoors. Three height positions allow the toy to grow with baby, and the seat locks in six positions to provide stability.
With nine toys and 12 songs and sounds to entertain, baby will be delighted. The surrounding tray is designed to ensure that baby has access to all the toys and also includes a removable, dishwasher safe snack tray. The Evenflo ExerSaucer Mega active Learning Center was created to help children reach ten developmental milestones:
- Tactile development
- Visual development
- Object permanence
- Hand-eye coordination
- Gross motor skills
- Fine motor skills
- Object exploration
- Cause and effect learning
- Musical development
The ExerSaucer Mega active Learning Center's legs fold, and the built-in handle makes the ExerSaucer portable and compact. The seat pad is removable and washable, and the manufacturer recommended age is four months until walking age with a maximum height of 30 inches. --Scott Teal

With eight age-appropriate toys and 12 songs and sounds to entertain, the ExerSaucer Mega delights babies while helping them reach ten developmental milestones. First, the bright colors and varying textures of the circus-theme toys encourages both tactile and visual development, while the different games help them understand the concept of object permanence.
Playing with the toys improves hand-eye coordination and object exploration skills while honing both gross and fine motor skills. And the fun songs aid baby's musical development, while the interactive design helps baby understand the relationship between cause and effect.
Sturdy, Innovative Construction
Made of durable, molded plastic, the ExerSaucer Mega can be used indoors or outdoors. For added safety, the seat locks in six positions to provide stability. This innovative model also includes a built-in handle for easy portability and a removable and washable seat for a clean, hygienic play environment.
Safe Design That Grows With Your Baby
The ExerSaucer Mego boasts three adjustable height positions so it can truly grow with your baby. In addition, the surrounding tray is designed to ensure that baby has access to all the toys. There's also a removable, dishwasher safe snack tray so baby can eat and play while remaining in an upright position to help him progress to walking.
True Portability
One of the ExerSaucer Mega's most convenient features is its Smart Fold legs, which fold significantly smaller than non-folding models for travel and storage. This is especially ideal for play dates, out-of-town family visits or moving the toy from an upstairs bedroom to a downstairs playroom. The quick-folding option also makes it a snap to store the ExerSaucer Mega when it's not in use.

Customer Reviews
Great Entertainer at a reasonable cost.
I bought this exersaucer when my son was 5 months old and had enough head control for an upright toy. We already had a jumperoo that I had received as a gift, but it looked like my son was not really that interested in it,I really wanted something that would entertain my son for a bit so I could have a few minutes to do something I thought an exersaucer (with so many more toys than the jumperoo) would be even more fun. I also felt that the exersaucer would be a bit easier for him to use at first since at its lowest setting it's lower than the jumperoo and therefore better for slightly smaller children.
At first, the bright colors were a bit overwhelming to him.he would stay in it for a little while then start crying .Not wanting to pack and return this heavy item i would put him everyday in it for a minute or two then gradually working up to 10mins a day.
By the age of 9 mths my son started playing in this saucer and would stay up to 45mins playing with it.My son was particularly interested in the spin wheel with little balls in it also the car with a horn on the top.He also liked the small rubber soft toys that hang and would chew on them. By 10mths he was rocking the saucer vigorously and seemed to enjoy that a lot.
As for assembly and storage, the exersaucer is slightly different than the jumperoo or the aquarium cradle swing, and I've found it much easier to move from room to room than either the jumperoo or cradle swing. It also easily collapses into a relatively flat circle, which makes it good to pop in the car and take along as a portable entertainer. Assembly was easy except for installing the lower (green) legs into the yellow base.
Overall, I highly recommend this exersaucer. It is not that expensive as compared to the other ones out there and with the frequent Toy's R us coupons drop the price down furthar.These items also have great reasale value and I have found I can easily recoup most of the price of items like these later on by reselling it.Great for keeping baby's attention while you cook or clean etc I would say if you have the extra cash to spare get this item you won't regret it.....
Fun play time
I bought this when my baby was about 5 months old and she loves it. One good thing about it is you can switch around 5 of the toys (switch-a-roos) so that they are in different positions. Yes, this did take 30 to 45 minutes to put together, but there really aren't many baby toys that don't take at least that long to assemble!
As far as the reviewers saying that their younger (3 month old babies) were overwhelmed by the exersaucer or hate being in it.....well...the exersaucer really isn't supposed to be for very young babies. I think the youngest age range is around 4 to 5 months! But if you are going to put a younger baby in it and the baby is "overwhelmed", just remove the switcharoos. In addition, babies all have different moods during the day, so try putting your baby in the exersaucer when they are in a happy and playful mood. Even my now almost 8 month old has times when she does or doesn't like to be in the exersaucer. And even some days where she doesn't like being in it and some days where she loves being in it. That's not the fault of they toy that the baby is not ALWAYS amused by it.
I have 2 reasons we rated this as 4 stars instead of 5. The first is that after about 3 monhts, we have yet to figure out how to fold it flat. The second reason is that it is extremely difficult to find replacement swith a roos. After 3 months of my baby playing with the same toys on it, I think it's time for a change. The evenflo website does not sell them directly, but lists Babies R Us as being the only retailer that carries them. Our Babies R Us does not have them and the online Babies R Us doesn't seem to have them either. I found one website that does carry them (http://www.baby-wise.com/), but they don't carry the ones that evenflo has on their website. I really wanted the apple book one. My older baby would love flipping the "pages".
So one of the selling points of the exersaucer is the switchable toys, but yet they are difficult to find and very limited in what is available. And most of the switcharoos don't even do anything. They are just meant to grab and stick in the mouth, rather than having any parts that can be manipulated by the baby.
These are so difficult to find that I have been continuously looking on ebay for them and they are never even listed for sale on there.
If it weren't for those two things, I would have given this product a 5.
Pretty fun; food dish seems like a waste and challenging to assemble
Our son has a blast in this thing. However, instead of the food dishes, they should have put another toy there. Can't see putting something in those dishes while he's playing anyway; it would create quite a mess. My dad assembled this thing and it was a challenge.
