We originally bought this in 2015 for our first child. The first time we put him in it he gravitated right towards the globe and spun it like a wildman. It makes a pleasing noise, as do most of the toys. He always loved how each toy did something different and the noises and lights were a real hit. He loved the faces on the animals and how everything is within reach & sized for tiny hands.
We now use the same Exersaucer for our twin girls and are purchasing a second because they love it so much (and insist on having all the same toys). Clearly it lasts well and ours will be enjoyed by many babies in the family for years to come.
Us parents love having a place where the littles can be upright and playful instead of reclined or on their tummies. They love to interact with us while playing in here and it's also easy to keep them entertained while doing a quick chore. All of our babies loved to bounce in here, and it's great that you can adjust the height as they grow.
The ONE DOWNSIDE is that they battery life in two of the toys is absurdly short, specifically the scrolling screen & the elephant/car piece. Generally the batteries for these die within 48 hours, even when the toys are turned off after each use. With our son we would remove the batteries and add them back in before he used it (a pain as they are velcro'd on and the battery compartment requires a small screwdriver). We finally gave up and he didn't care: the elephant still moves up and down and the car still makes a pleasing sound without the batteries. We put a set in once with the girls and gave up when they died the next day. Interestingly, the other battery powered piece - the tall arch with the helicopter/balloon - lasts for a really long time without being replaced. This toy is a favorite and really makes the activity center as fun as it is, so thank goodness for that.
All in all a great buy and a fun piece that our babies and relatives' babies have loved and will continue to get good use out of!
