My 6 month old is playing in his activity go round right now. He loves it. His favorites seem to be the piano and the little spinning dolphin. I’m very happy with the product, and my baby loves it!

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.

Fun toy; wish the seat were lower
I bought this for my son a month ago when he was 5 months old. He's in the 75th percentile for height but his legs were (and are still) not long enough to get the thing to move the way it was advertised. I can understand it not working correctly for a smaller/shorter child, but in theory our son should have fit it better. I was surprised that there was not a way to lower the seat any more than there is. My point is that there will probably be a very small window when he is a) able to maneuver the chair around the base, and b) under the recommended safe weight limit of 25 pounds! But I'm giving it 4 stars because this toy holds his attention and he really enjoys being in it. I'm planning to ignore the weight limit anyway (within reason).


okay toy - big size - toys are a little boring
Takes up a lot of space, which is okay, but even bigger than an exersaucer...the little piano is fun, but the rest of the toys are boring, my toddler doesnt like to play at all with it and my 8 month old gets bored after about 8 minutes....If I could do it over again I would get a stationary bouncer one!


Awesome activity center and very entertaining!!!
We purchased this for our 5-month old son based on the positive reviews on Amazon. We were a little skeptical at first because he wasn't able to fully stand in it and move around, but he seemed to enjoy the banging on the piano keys, tugging/pulling at the other attachments, and could easily spin the seat around to view whatever he wanted. Flash forward four weeks and I do not know what we would do without this activity station. Our son absolutely loves everything about this item and is now even figuring out the added benefits of being able to walk around in it. The piano is pretty friggin awesome and he now knows how to turn the "music sheets" to play different sounds and tunes. The long flexible attachments are turning out to be great teething toys as well and the others seem to keep his attention pretty well. The greatest attributes of this toy are that it is light-weight, compact and it keeps our little busy body pre-occupied for at least 20 - 45 minutes at time which is almost border-line miracle status! Words can not accurately explain how much this thing has helped with the development of our baby as well as help maintain our sanity and assisted in freeing our hands to get things done around the house. I know that everyone's baby is different but this activity center is about as close to perfection as one can expect in a toy.


Highly recommend it
This is one of the best items I got for my baby...He is super active 6 months old who gets bored in a matter of 15 seconds from anything. This activity center gets him busy for at least a couple of minutes while I wash the dishes or prepare food. He beats the heck out of the activities, moves and screams when anything moves in it and laugh. It is awesome.

The only negative point is that it locks, so he can't go 360 degrees continuous...which could be a good part because if he does, then he will be all over the place...another downside is that the four rubber pieces don't seam to connect on the bottom so my baby moves everywhere even though the base does not have wheels.

Overall great item for super smart and active babies.


A MUST FOR ALL PARENTS!!
I bought this for my first Granddaughter when she was a baby about 3 years ago. She loved it. Her baby sister is now using it. Then I bought this as a baby shower gift for a friend. Their son loved it. Then they bought this for their friends, and so on, and so on. I know at least 7 babies that have used this and they all loved it. It's great before they start walking, then the seat comes off so they can use it as an activity center once they become walkers. My son takes it apart all the time and they haven't had any issues of it being easy to put back together. I have a baby shower for a friend at the end of this month and I will be purchasing this again.
Buy this - you will love it!!!

awesome!!
As soon as we put our baby in the jumper, we was entranced. We have not had much luck with the activity mat, he would only stay there for a few minutes at most. But with the jumper, he absolutely loves it! It's absolutely great and I strongly recommend.

Info: Our son is 3 months old and 16.5 lbs.


Love it!
This item arrived today and we love it! My son is 3 months old and loved jumping and spinning around! It was like it gave him a sense of freedom and put a huge smile on his face! Seems sturdy and safe. love it!


a very useful article
I bought this item for my nephew Richard and i'm very satisfied... It's a very funny play. Richard spends much time on Jumper and enjoys. I'm a italian customer!!


Not a good fit for old houses
We were very excited about ordering this product and even had it sent overnight so we could try it out. Unfortunately, the clamp that secures the jumper to the door frame does not accommodate the moldings in older houses. Our house was built in 1918 so the mouldings are pretty substantial but not crazy large and the clamp will not fit over the moulding..it misses by 2 inches so, we'll be returning this product.


Perfect jumper, great value
Very sturdy and nicely built. I see some three and two star reviews complaining that the height is not adjustable, what happened to creativity.... If it is too long, tie a knot. If it is too short, just use some extension ribbon. It is very flexible and covers a wide range of doors frames and kid sizes. If you are on the extreme sizes and happen to bought it, just take 5 min... Altering it to fit your use is not that difficult. Kids love it, lot of times they just fall asleep after playing in for a while. I dont advice, leaving the kids to sleep in it, but it is so comfortable. For the price, you can't ask for more. Has soft rubber bumpers to protect the kids when they hit hard objects. Very well thought and designed product.

@ From a Real Customer Experience …

I purchased the Precious Planets Play Yard and it arrived September 26th, 2009. It was easy to put together and the colors are bright, just like the other Precious Planets products. It is adorable, but, I wish they had the sheets to match. Any of the sheets that I have found so far are not the same shade of yellow, blue & even white in the play yard. Hopefully, Fisher Price will make the sheets available in the near future. I do highly recommend this play yard. It is colorful, well built, & easy to assemble…

Loved It
Very happy to have this. My baby loves it and it is so cute how it could be used as a bassinet as a little baby and then its a play pen. Love it.


Fisher-Price Play Yard
My daughter is absolutely delighted with this product for her baby and will recommend it to all her friends!

Amazon has delivered an excellent service and i will be back again for other things to buy!


A Great Deal
I have used the play yard for about 7 months now and it has been great. The changing table has saved our backs. My husband and I are very tall and the changing table is the perfect height and size for changing our son. The colors are also great. It is very cheap for the quality and usefullness!!


Play Yard
If you enjoy the Fisher Price Precious Planet line and are looking for a playard this is the one to get. It's not to fancy and not to Plain just right.


SWEET
I loved the theme so I bought it for a friend along with the two swings, two high chairs & two bouncers. My friend & her babies love the set, no complaints. Shop around for prices.
