Evenflo Exersaucer Bouncing Activity Saucer, Sweet Tea Party

Wow, this was bought 7 years ago and was such an important thing for my son. He spent so much time in it and never got tired of bouncing and spinning. The toys were his favorite.

After reading many reviews, I decided to chance it and purchase the ZOO. I'm not sure what styles some of these reviews are based on because they don't seem to apply to this item. The toys are very safe and secure, with no strings to wrap around necks, and no crevices to pinch tiny fingers. There is no extra padding on the seating area, but most other seats like this don't offer that and it hasn't been a problem. My 7 1/2 month old bounces just fine in this and doesn't get sore. She loves the fun activities - and so do I! This zoo has one I haven't seen before: a lion face that slides in and out. It was the first thing she wanted to play with and kept her occupied for over ten minutes. I am not using the overhead bar because the toy safety guidelines clearly state that if your baby can push up on hands and knees, this needs to be removed. My daughter was 29" at her 6 month checkup and I was concerned that she wouldn't be able to use this toy, since the maximum height is 30" or feet flat on the ground, but even though she is very tall, her feet are still on tiptoe so I am pleased she can enjoy this toy for a while. The only part I think is strange and would choose to do without, is the rocking feature of the base. It kind of tilts every way and maybe this is to absorb impact for heavy jumpers, but the little legs that fold out to refrain this feature don't work too well...but it's not a huge issue. It does't rock THAT much... This was very straightforward and easy to assemble. There is a handle on the base for picking it up to move it across the room, but I often just grab a toy - they're secure enough to lift the lightweight frame. My daughter spins easily in this and the seat is roomy while still being supportive. There is plenty of room in the leg holes too. I am happy I purchased this, especially for the price.

Got this for my 6 month old daughter and she loves! Lots of bright colorful toys to play with! Fairly easy to assemble!

Perfect. Fun colors and activities.

I've owned all the entertainers out there, all the way back to the original Exersaucer so my review may be a lot of comparisons.I love this new Exersaucer, I'm so happy they brought back a more basic option. The first 5-6 years of Exersaucer was great, plain up to a few toys. After that exersaucers became overwhelming, noisy, overstimulating. That was one of the reasons I switched to the Jumperoo when it first came out, less toys.I also thought the jumperoos folding legs would make it more compact for travel as well but it didn't, this Exersaucer (without a bunch of tall and bulky toys like previous models) collapses as small, if not smaller.All of my kids that have had Exersaucers instead of entertainment centers, jumperoos, etc have also really enjoyed the Exersaucer (for non intended) when they started crawling. They'd climb in the bottom and rock and when they were pulling up the exersaucer was the perfect height and can be stabilized with the legs.This Exersaucer comes with 3 removable, interchangeable clip on toys (that on previous models I've even stuck in the dishwasher to clean) that could easily be left off or switched off to keep the toy even less stimulating and ever new. It also comes with a toy bar that has 3 monkeys that can be pushed back and forth like the bead maze that is loved by so many babies and toddlers alike. This is even easily removable. Plus a spinner with beads to make a soft gentle, non electronic noise. And lastly a mirror so baby can admire themselves, a huge baby activity (even if they don't realize it's them).I love the new easier to remove seat to making throwing it in the washing machine that much faster.There's even a small "tray" area. The biggest thing that draws me back to the Exersaucer is that it fits small 4 month olds on the lowest setting. The Jumperoo or any walker we've tried have been too tall and required a pillow (not recommended by the manufacturer) under their feet.The only reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5 is that I wish the mirror were bigger, it's almost useless with its small size and since babies love mirrors I feel like it is a great idea but not useful at this size. And because I feel like the 3 stabilizer legs to keep it from rocking are less stable than they used to be (I think it used to have 4 maybe?), it doesn't rock but does lean slightly as baby leans. It's fine for stable babies but if baby is just big enough to try it out their upper body control may not be good enough for that bit of tilt. We're using it for a just turning 4 month old and she's fine with it.As I read through other reviews before buying I noticed several poor reviews were that it didn't have lights or sounds so I'll disclaim that your mileage may vary based on what you are looking for. I prefer not having lights and sounds, babies can be easily overstimulated.

I work in a daycare and we have one other Exersaucer that is old with missing toys, so we needed a new one. I saw the Zoo Friends Exersaucer and bought it for the cheap price. It arrived quickly and was fairly easy to assemble. No tools or batteries needed for this model.It's fantastic in my opinion! The seat cover is made of plastic but has a second layer of cloth under to make it strong. It's held by several clips on the seat and very durable. The entire thing is made up mostly of durable, thick plastic. There were no sharp edges or pieces that could hurt baby. As long as you follow the directions, trust that your baby is safe.The colors are very bright and friendly for baby. Be aware that the toys on this model are simple and are not electronic or need batteries. They do not sing or light up, so go for another model if that's what you want. I, however, love the simple toys. They're fun and entertaining without all the noise. The toys are rattles and teething toys you attach wherever you like on the tray, and you can always move them around, along with the large bar with monkeys. You can remove it if you don't want it.The height adjustments are very helpful. All of our little babies are between 9 and 10 months old, and the second peg works fine for all of them. It also has the red stabilizers on the bottom to keep it still. Babies are able to jump easily with or without the stabilizers and it's a very good entertainer for what you pay for it.I would definitely recommend this.
