TINY LOVE 4-in-1 ACTIVITY CENTER
We just loved this activity center from Tiny Love! The best thing about it was that it took less than 10 minutes to set up. The other thing that we love about it was that it was a jumper, walker, push-along and activity center all in one. It is a huge space saver to have so many function in one center. It has simple locks to change it from stationary to walker or jumper. This will for sure keep baby busy for hours while you get Christmas dinner on the table! Ages: 6mo-14mo
