Having a large, colorful and possibly noisy toy center is something most first-time parents of newborns hope to avoid, but as an infant grows more curious and begins to sit up, it's easier to see the appeal of giving them their own baby-centric indoor playground. One cute feature: A clear panel lets your baby stare down at their own feet as they step on the toy piano and activate it.

Time spent on the floor in a safe environment exploring freely and playing is more conducive to your baby's motor, sensory and cognitive development," Oledzka says.Why we love it: The Little Tikes brand is renowned for quality and durability in its products and the Fantastic Firsts 3-in-1 Switcharoo Table has both in spades. The jumpers with all the different toys and the option to hang more toys are great," said Good Housekeeping Institute Executive Director of Textiles Lexie Sachs, a mom of two young kids.

It features a double-secured hook design, a powerful spring for smooth bouncing, and a high carbon steel frame. This jumper — and many others on our list — requires some assembly, and a few online reviewers found it a bit time-consuming. The sheer number of fun songs is unrivalled in any other activity centre on our list and the interesting activities for children to play with are numerous, with buttons to push, flips to switch and cute animals to play peek-a-boo with.Each activity centre featured includes different toys in all shapes and sizes, many have musical and light options, some include soft toys and some are removable, so you can switch up activities for your mini explorer. What it is: A jumper with a rotating seat, 4 activity stations, 5 height settings and a 3-key piano with lights and volume control.

The walker has lights that project from the dome onto the floor, and the activity board slides up for table play and is filled with fun features. We just assembled it last week and the seat base leans to the left making it so only one of my baby’s feet is able to touch the ground.
