When Ryan was about Rebecca’s age he loved using a walker to scoot around the kitchen. We never had an exersaucer or activity center for him though and I always wished we had. Both sets of grandparents had one at their house and Ryan loved sitting and playing in them…
So when I found the activity center from Kolcraft that is a 2-in-1, I was super excited. It’s basically an exersaucer and a walk-behind walker combined.
Adorable, right? They also have it in pink girly colors. You can see the wheels in the photo above that allow it to be the walk-behind walker once your child is old enough. Until then, it sits stationary in the base for play time!
The Kolcraft Baby Sit & Step 2-in-1 Activity Center has plenty of toys and feature to keep your little one interested and having fun. The seat spins 360 degrees and the base rocks slightly. The activity ring is filled with things to develop motor skills and include lights and music:
Rebecca is 7 months old and really does use most features on this already. Her favorite is the spinning wheel, the mirror (of course!), and the little book with 2 flip pages. My toddler son likes to come over and “help” her play, haha… he pushes the buttons to make sounds and drops balls down the little slide. He’s also the one that discovered you can put balls in the holes of the legs!
The seat height is adjustable to grow with your child. You can start using it around 4 months of age, when your child can sit unassisted and support themselves with their legs. You can use it as the walk-behind walker around 9 months or when they your child is ready to walk! Rebecca is starting to try to pull herself up to stand so I’m afraid she’ll be an early walker, just like her brother!
You can also lock the base to keep it stationary with some simple push buttons labeled “rock” or “brake.” There’s a safety strap to be used in the activity center mode, too.
You can buy this awesome activity center that really grows with your child for $99.99… sold on amazon.com and walmart.com. Make sure you find Kolcraft on facebook and twitter, too!
That thing looks neat we have one but not near as many toys. It also doesn’t turn into a walk behind. I wonder if I can talk DH into it. Hmmm….

Kolcraft really does make the BEST entertainment center things. I loved the one we had for Addison!

This looks like a fantastic exersaucer! Ours has lights and music too, and I don’t think we could live without it!

I love this… We have one from my daughter that was super obnoxious! This one looks nicer, maybe I will check it out! And the baby doll on the table in the background made me laugh! 🙂

We got an activity center for P around 3 months because he seemed bored with just laying on his playmat. It is amazing how much he can interact with it even before the recommended age! She looks like she is having fun 🙂

I really like this one. We have one already but I feel like it doesn’t have enough activities. This may have to go on the Christmas list for the grandparents!!

We love our bouncer, but this is awesome! I love that it grows with baby. Thanks for the great review!

Ooh, this looks great! I love that it has the option to lock it in place!
