The Bounce Bounce activity center is constructed with sturdy yet lightweight molded plastic. Standing on three wide legs, the toy has a bucket seat in the center for the baby, surrounded by a triangle of fun, interactive activities. The bouncing platform is attached to the sturdy legs with short bungee cords that allow the baby the perfect amount of bouncing and wobbling, helping her develop balance and strengthen her leg muscles in a safe and secure environment.
The seat, which is height adjustable, rotates 360 degrees. When your baby is seated, she can use her feet to push off the platform, turning herself all the way around to play with the toys.
Fun Toys Offer Exploratory Fun
With an adorable, pastel bug-and-flower motif, the activity center's toys are cute -- and they're educational and functional as well, providing plenty of exploratory, interactive fun for infants. They include bendable stalk toys, with interesting textures and spinning balls, a removable, plush butterfly with pretty chimes, a hanging mirror, sliding, caterpillar-shaped beads, and more.
We especially like that a water-filled teething toy is included. And the light-up keyboard, which plays six different melodies, helps babies learn about cause and effect while providing creative auditory and visual stimulation.
Convenient, Space-Saving Design
Baby activity centers are a wonderful and safe way to help satisfy your baby's need for leg exercise while providing plenty of educational stimulation. But so many of them are really cumbersome! So we especially like the streamlined, compact size of the Bounce Bounce activity center. Even though it's smaller in size, it still provides baby with plenty of fun things to do. Other perks: the removable seat cover is washable, for those inevitable spit-ups and diaper leaks, and the activity center includes a snack tray for convenient playtime snacking.
With its lovely pink, green, and lavender colors, this particular model is definitely geared towards girls. It certainly is cute and pretty -- but if you're not keen on "girly" stuff, or if you intend to use this activity center for a boy, Bright Starts also makes a unisex Bounce Bounce center in primary colors.
The toy requires some rather serious assembly. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver. 2 AA batteries are required for the keyboard.

"What goes up must come down." - A saying that is so familiar that you seem to forget especially when you are happily jumping off the trampoline. Suddenly, you realize that you are lying on your back after a hard fall. Or worst, your child falls hard on his back 10 feet from the air after jumping off from your newly purchased trampoline.
Year after year, tens of thousands of children had been rushed to the emergency room simply because they forgot all about trampoline safety and gravity. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that in 1998, 95,000 Americans had been involved with trampoline-related accidents. The worst was that 75 percent of them were children at the age under 14 and under. Injuries ranged from simple bruises to broken bones and trauma. Fortunately, death was a very rare occurrence.
Nevertheless, you need to know how to protect yourselves and your children when using trampoline.
Trampoline basic safety tips are the following:
1. Setting up
Read carefully the instructions and users manual provided by the trampoline manufacturer. Take note of the weight capacity, materials used, and other safety accessories that must be purchased.
When setting up your trampoline, choose a safe place away from trees, low ceiling, swimming pool, and furniture. As a rule, place your trampoline on an area with at least 6 meters (20 unobstructed feet) of ceiling or any overhead obstruction and a minimum of 3 meters away (10 feet) from any obstructions on all sides of the trampoline bouncing surface.
When you did not finish the set up, keep your trampoline in places where your children do not have access to. Since children are more excited to use it than you do, they may try it whether it is complete or half-built.
2. You and your trampoline
Do not jump off from the trampoline.
Control your jump at all times. Keep it low especially if you are only a beginner.
Learn how to land before jumping off.
Do not bounce when you are tired. Observe a period of rest after jumping for a while.
Never use the trampoline when you are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. (Never use prohibited drugs.)
Do not attempt stunts such as twisting somersaults, multiple somersaults, back flips, and other acrobatics on your backyard trampoline.
