Develop Baby's Walking Muscles
The Around We Go Activity Station is a unique take on the stationary activity centers that are so popular for infants today. While some activity centers have a seat in the center for the baby that's encircled by an activity tray, the Around We Go station is configured to let baby "walk" around the toys instead.

The activities are positioned on a sturdy, plastic table. The baby seat, which is supported by two wheeled legs, attaches to it. Baby sits in the bucket-shaped seat with his feet firmly planted on the ground. He can learn to push off the ground, propelling himself around the table to get to the activity of his choice.

Unique Toys for Creative, Challenging Play
The Around We Go station is also fresh and unique in the activities it offers. It includes many of the favorite "stand-bys" of other activity centers -- bendable stalk toys that encourage tactile exploration, spinning and moving characters that help babies learn about cause and effect. Babies will find these toys entertaining and educational. But we were especially delighted by the magnetic drawing board that includes cute character shapes that let babies make their own, erasable drawings. And the piano keyboard, which has three play modes, features fun, upbeat music that's actually catchy to listen to. It also plays piano tones and cartoonish, animal voices.

Perks for Baby and Parents
We love the ingenuity of the Around We Go station's set up. Rather than keeping your baby stationary like other activity centers, it helps him satisfy his urge to move; he actually can make himself go from one point to another by using his feet. This gives baby vital, leg-strengthening exercises in a much safer and secure environment than baby walkers. There are perks for parents, too: you can lock the baby seat in place in front of the included snack tray to let him snack safely, and the seat fabric is easily removable and conveniently machine washable.

One drawback: this toy is a bit cumbersome, which may present a problem if your living space is limited. However, the seat easily detaches from the table for more compact storage. In fact, when your baby is able to walk on his own, he doesn't have to abandon this toy: simply remove the seat, and he can play at the table independently.

This toy requires adult assembly. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver, as well as three C batteries for the toy piano.

play station
Buying this product, was the best decision i made. my kids kids enjoy playing in and around it. it has improved their mobility and fine motor skills. i will recommend this product to parents who are looking for a quality playstation for their child.


Not bad, but could use some TWEAKING for safety!!
Just wanted to send a review on this item. A great friend of mind has a child just 2 weeks older than mine and she purchased this for her son. While I LOVE the ability for the child to spin around the stationary center, she did mention to me that quite a few times her sons tiny fingures got stuck in the dolphin spinner that caused him to cry in pain and discomfort. She did contact the company and they replaced it with something else less dangerous. Please keep that in the back of your mind that it could potentially cause you or your son/daughter some trauma to their little fingers when playing!! otherwise, a pretty neat invention!! Thanks for reading!


Great Product
I bought this activity station for my grandson and he loves it....my daughter can get ready for work while he plays in it and doesn't cry for her. It keeps him occupied and he loves all the different activities, I get a kick out of watching him play with the different toys.


Have been using since 2 years and still going on-Best Buy!!!!
We bought this one for our daughter when she was 5 months old. She just loved it. It gave her the mobility while still keeping safety in mind. I dont believe in using a moving walker, it is just too unsafe. This one is great. She loved going around the center piece, which is also awesome. After she started walking, we took off the side moving part and she is now 2.5 years and still plays with the center part. Now we will be soon using it for our son. So it is the best investment we have made in toys.


not what i expected
it was very easy to put together but my 7 month old isnt very entertained by the table he wants to get out of it after less than 5 monutes and I only had this toy for a week. If you have carpet I wouldnt recommend it its hard for it to rotate. I only give it 2 stars because it was simple to put together but as far as the toys on the table to entertain a child they could of been better.
