Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 My son loves his Fisher Price Intellitainer. It is like an exersaucer. He doesn't like it as much as he did before he started crawling but he still loves it! I think the thing with the walker is it could tip if it is on an uneven surface or near stairs but if you are supervising your child then I'm sure it is fine. Good luck in your quest for cool toys. lisa 9 month old son, DOC band PS: I looked on their website to try and put the link so you could see it but I couldn't find it. We bought ours at Big Lots (as I saw it there and knew it was a great exersaucer that other places would have been more). We also bought it before he was born so I don't know if they still make it.Rita <ptrita@...> wrote: So we aren't supposed to "overuse" bouncy seats and swings...Have any of you found any really cool/fun toys to use in lieu of these things?
