Baby activity centers buying guide
These all-in-one, molded-plastic play stations typically resemble traditional walkers but without the wheels, which makes
them a less risky way for your baby to have fun and get a little exercise.

Models come with either a solid flat base with four legs that contain the seat, a rocking base (three legs with a center brace below the seat), or a pedestal support (walk-around models). Some, including all Kolcraft models, become a walk-behind walker (beginner walkers can push it in front of them), although we don't recommend using it in that manner because a baby could easily push one down the stairs. Prices range from about $40 (Bright Starts) to $130 (for the Evenflo ExerSaucer Triple Fun, a play mat and activity center in one that converts to an activity table). The major brands, in alphabetical order, are:
- Bright Starts (www.brightstarts.com)
- Evenflo (www.evenflo.com)
- Graco, sold under the Baby Einstein name (www.gracobaby.com)
- Kolcraft (www.kolcraft.com)
