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.

User Reviews for Bright Starts Tropical Fun Around We Go Activity Station
Better than the stationary ones
Bought this about 3 months ago. We already had a stationery saucer thingy for our 4 month old to sit in. He sat in that just fine, but after about a month, he was itching to move around like in a walker. Upon receipt of this bright starts activity thing, we put it together and him in it. Big difference, he\'s actually intrigued by the toys, walks in circles around them to get to different ones. He actually makes choices as to which toy to play with instead of being stuck in one spot and able only to play with the toys he sees immediately. It does take up more room than the stationary ones, but it\'s so much more fun for the baby that I\'m all about giving up space for his growth.
This is easily THE BEST purchase we have made so far for our baby!
I can not say enough good things about this product. I purchased it about 2 months ago when our baby was just over 5 months old and she took to it right away. Now she is 7 months old and she absolutely loves it! My wife and I put her in it every morning when we get up and every evening around dinner time. She spends about an hour each time playing without interruption (and sometimes longer)! She isn\'t crawling yet but when we put her in this she just flies around. Her little feet just move and move! And she LOVES the piano! We also own a princess walker and a johnny jumper but they don\'t compare to this at all! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this to anyone and everyone!
Great product !!!
Our little one is only 3 1/2 months so she really doesn\'t play to much in it yet she just can\'t reach the ground. We have from time to time put her in it a couple of times and she is so intrested in all the toys the music is great and sense she can\'t fit in the seat sometimes I sit with her and we play with all the different toys and buttons. She loves it so far I think when she is a little bigger it will be a blast for her.

This is an amazing activity center which any child should enjoy. I bought a station for my 9mnth old baby. She loves it!!!!!
needs some space, but tons of fun!
we own a slightly different model than the one shown, but we love this product! our 9 month old walks in circles around the table, playing at all the stations. the piano gets most of the attention, which is ok with us because the music is better than most infant toys. it is a space hog, and you have to keep in mind it extends your kiddo\'s reach quite a bit. i\'m also pretty sure he will be able to drag it across the wood floor shortly, although he hasn\'t done this yet.
