Stage 1: Exploratory Fun for Newborns
Stage 1, for infants from birth through four months, is an activity mat that's designed for helping babies develop focus and learn to reach and grab. Infants can lie on the mat and interact with the toys on the toy bar that arches above, which includes three delightful toys that jingle, rattle, and buzz. The toy bar also plays music -- mommy or daddy can turn it on. The activity mat is quite compact in size, making it easy to use in a variety of spaces throughout your home.

Stage 2: Helps Baby Prepare for Walking
Stage 2 is the classic Exersaucer activity center designed for babies 4 months old until they can walk independently. The activity center stands on sturdy plastic legs that connect the circular activity tray to the saucer-shaped standing platform. The baby sits in the rotating bucket seat in the center with his feet reaching the saucer. He can push off with his feet to turn the seat around to reach any of the activities, which include the toy bar from the activity mat, as well as several other fun, interactive toys that move, spin, and play music.

The spring-loaded legs let baby bounce, helping him develop strong leg muscles, and the saucer itself wobbles, allowing baby to practice balancing in a safe environment. Note: your child needs to be able to hold his neck up independently to be ready for this toy, and he must be under 30 inches in height.

Stage 3: Interactive Fun for Toddlers
Once your child is able to walk independently, he'll be ready for the Stage 3 "activity table." It is simply a reconfiguration of the Stage 2 ExerSaucer: the standing platform is removed, and the activity ring is reconfigured into an S-shaped table. Its enlongated shape encourages young toddlers to walk from toy to toy.

Safe, Secure Fun
There are plenty of toys on the market to help your child exercise his legs, but we especially like the versatility and safety of the Stage 2 Exersaucer. It gives babies a safer place to develop his leg muscles than infant "walkers," and it provides a lot more stimulating activities than most baby "bouncers" that we've seen. And we are delighted that the Stage 3 configuration means babies don't have to abandon the fun activities once they start walking.

We really like infant activity mats, and this one provides plenty of stimulation with its toy bar. But we wish the padded mat was a bit larger, and, like some other activity mats, that it provided more enticement for babies to practice their "tummy time."

Stage 2 requires quite a bit of adult assembly: in fact, the manual has 11 pages of assembly instructions, and it is quite labor intensive. But once it's put together, your child will be able to use it for many months, and it is much easier to reconfigure into the Stage 3 activity table.
