Baby Einstein around we grow 4-in-1 discovery centre
Best: Overall
This is so much more than a traditional walker and is ideal if you’re looking for something multi-functional. It can be used from six months upwards and we found it perfect for those wanting to manage all those different baby transitions. First up, the seat function attached to the activity table is a good fit for those who aren’t quite walking. The seat can be adapted as your little one grows and the activity functions are incredibly varied: there's everything from musical piano keys (which light up and introduce babies to colours and animals in three different languages) to a range of sensory toys which are great for promoting fine motor skills.
This also comes with wheels so it can be used as a sit-in walker as babies become more confident (they can use the walker to rotate around the table’s different activity stations) which then detaches to form a stand-alone art table for toddlers and older children. When not sitting, the height of this table is ideal for helping babies pull up to stand and the clever distribution of activities really encourages them to cruise around the outside of the discovery centre to build their confidence. If you’re looking to invest in one new item for your baby or toddler’s playroom, we would definitely recommend this one. Not only is it great in building confidence but its versatility means it can be used for years and years.
