Evenflo Excersaucer Mega - Farm —
We have the Barnyard style of the Exersaucer Megasaucer. We've been putting our baby girl in it since she was about four and a half months old, though in the beginning we had to stuff blankets around her to support her. By five and a half months she could support herself just fine and could play with all the toys. She especially loves pulling the toys toward her to chew on. Now, at just over seven months, she'll happily play in this toy long enough for me to make dinner! Now that she's getting more mobile, this is the only place I feel safe putting her when I can't watch her like a hawk. She's so quick to get into everything these days.
I like that the toys are replaceable, and also that there's enough room for me to set a few other toys that she enjoys. She quickly gets bored, so being able to provide a variety of toys for her to play with helps keep her happy longer. There's also a food tray and cup holder, which will be useful for snacks as she gets older.
I don't like the huge size, since we have a fairly small house, but it's a small price to pay. One problem is it's very difficult to get it to fold up. I suppose this makes it safer, but it's so hard to do that it's not worth it. She's also pinched herself a couple of times on one of the toys (the cow with beads on it), though it seems to be more startling for her than painful. It would be easy to replace this toy, but she loves it so we leave it on.
