Overview

Description

The Explore and More allows for self-directed but contained play for when you need your hands free. It converts to play station for cruisers and finally a toddler table.

The bouncing seat rotates 360 degrees so your baby can turn to play with different toys, easily attached to built-in toy loops. A plastic “discovery window” gives little ones a fascinating view of their own feet—a feature unique to this toy—promoting spatial awareness and teaching cause and effect.

The Explore and More has over 25 activities developmentally appropriate for your baby including:

  • Musical, light-up piano
  • Peek-a-boo owl that pops out and hoots
  • Spring cloud with colorful beads
  • Swaying trees
  • Hedgehog bead chaser with spinner

It also comes with a melamine Bee snack bowl that suctions to the surface.

It’s sturdy but small and light enough to move from room to room, assembly is easy, and the legs detach for storage.

8 Questions
Is it a bouncer?

Best Answer:  This is an activity center, not a bouncer.

Does it have a time limit?

Best Answer:  It's intended for ages 4m+. This has a limit of 25 lbs (11kg), or over 30" (76cm).

Does the seat spin?

Best Answer:  It does! The seat is designed to stretch for bouncing and rotate 360 degrees, allowing your baby to turn and play with various toys that can be easily attached to the built-in toy loops.

I’ve seen a lot of people saying parts, especially the piano, break easily and that they don’t sell replacement parts. Has this issue been fixed? I don’t want to waste our money if it’s not going to last or the parts break easily and then can’t be replaced?

Best Answer:  Skip Hop hasn't released a different version of this activity center.

What does the “Cruise & interact” stage refer to? Does it come with wheels (cruise)?

Best Answer:  The "Cruise & Interact" stage is designed for toddlers who are starting to walk and use items like low tables or couches for balance. This activity center lets them move around the outside using the included toys or other items when set up as a table. The activity center doesn't have wheels.

Does it come with the chairs when converted to the play table?

Best Answer:  This activity center does not come with chairs. You'd want to purchase the Explore & More Kid Chairs separately.

How long can a baby stay in the activity center? Starting at four months?

Best Answer:  This activity center can be used from about 4 months of age through toddlerhood. Most babies will outgrow using the inside seat portion when they are able to pull-up and stand independently, around 9-12 months of age. The activity center can still be used as a table and play space through the toddler years.

What’s the difference between the two Skip Hop activity centers? Is one better?

Best Answer:  The only difference between the Explore & More and the Silver Lining Cloud activity centers is the design and colors of the toys. Functionally, they both offer the same features.

My velcro baby LOVES this activity center! It keeps her occupied so I’m able to get some things done around the house. And I love that it grows with her. Definitely a worthwhile purchase

Not enough parts to buy.
I have this Activity Center. But I don’t have a seat now for it and I'm really sad that I can't buy this separately.

I thought I was going to be able to leave a glowing review here, then this morning...
My 6-month grandson was sitting on my knee playing with the little trees (?) on the activity center with his feet. Next thing I know, he has a cut on the top of his foot. I may be an overprotective grandparent, but I find that unacceptable.

Investment purchase!
Got this for our 6 month old and she absolutely loves it! She wants to sit up and stand all the time now so this really let's her get some energy out and have some independent playtime.

Activity table must and problems.
My son loves this product, however he was able to rip the cloud toy off. I’d like to be able to buy interchangeable toys for it.

Our daughter really like this table. She is still at the highest setting for the foot platform but that doesn't stop her! Will definitely be purchasing the chairs for when this becomes a regular table

Love this for my 8 month old, but the cloud broke and I’m so sad about it. It was her favorite part. The rubber piece broke in half

Not great customer service
Bought as a Christmas gift. Piano doesn't work. I contacted customer service they are saying a replacement isn't available. Sending a $25.00 gift card doesn't help the fact that part of my granddaughters activity center is unusable.
