She can use it until she’s 30 pounds or learns to walk. (You can wipe it down with a washcloth if it does.) The height adjustments are spaced well-she just now fits the lowest setting, giving her plenty of room to grow into the next two heights. The only fabric parts are the seat, which is machine washable, and the padding on the toy bar, which doesn’t get all that dirty. The toys are all plastic and are easy to pop out, which makes cleaning easy. So far, we haven’t left her in it for more than 20-30 minutes as a time, as she’s still working on her balance and gets tired, but she hasn’t gotten bored yet and is excited to go back in every time. Where some saucers have a toy and then an empty tray space, this one has toys all the way around, so whichever way baby spins, she can reach at least two toys to play with. On the plus side, each of the three toys have off switches as well as the two volume settings, so you can turn off the noises if they start to bug you. Fortunately, I had enough of both types on hand, but it would be nice if the toys took the same type of batteries if you had to go buy them. One minor annoyance I had is that there are three toys that require batteries. She’s not quite big enough to consistently push the buttons, but she loves the spinning toys and the mirror. Almost all of the toys have parts that either move or make sounds, so whichever one she plays with, there’s a reaction when she touches it. Her eyes were like saucers! There are so many toys on this! I considered putting on just a toy or two at a time, so she could get used to them slowly-but I was too excited for her to see everything. The spring kept popping back up when I tried to do it by myself, and I couldn’t get the screws in. I had my husband hold the spring down, so I could place the screws with one hand and screw them in with the other. You have to hold the spring in while securing it with the screws, which in reality requires more than two hands. The only other sticky part was attaching the springs in the legs-the part that makes it bounce. I did the first one wrong it took me several minutes and a screwdriver jammed in as a lever to undo it, so I could fix it. The first step was probably the hardest, involving hooking a spring to the interior of the feet. The instructions are adequate, but you do have to carefully study the diagrams to make sure you are putting in the pieces the right way up (or out), so that the next pieces fit in. Instead, I went straight for the ExerSaucer stage. But for those with younger babes, it’s great to have that option to start with. Most of the parts click into each other easily.Īt 6 months old, our baby girl has grown out of liking the playmat stage, so I didn’t set it up for that layout. I have to admit, my excitement about the arrival of our Evenflo ExerSaucer World Traveler Triple Fun Saucer did quail a bit when I opened the box and saw how much assembly was required.
