Safety 1st Melody Garden Activity Centre

Not designed for a walker. OK for stationary activity centre. Not worth the money – The reason I'm giving it a one star is because my son can't use it as a walker at all. The wheels are impossible to move as the back ones don't swivel. So now i have to go out and get another walker because I in fact purchased a stationary activity centre. The product is made for much older babies, which doesn't make sense because the weight… Read more

capacity is 12 kgs? The adjustable height has three settings, and it's way off. My son has been on the first setting since he was 4 months old. We had to use a pillow below so his legs aren't dangling. He is 7 and a half months and still barely touches the floor. Other walkers we tried at the shop and at mum's group had different heights that catered for actual 6 month olds.

My son enjoys the centre but he enjoyed every other one we tried also.

There are more affordable and cheaper options for a walker a centre together. I wouldn't recommend buying this product at this price. I feel that the product is misleading and doesn't perform as the product states it does.

I doubt that there are babies out there who have walked in this so called "walker"

Wish we just got a plain old simple one – The guy at the shop said this was their most popular walker, so I quickly looked up reviews and they looked great so despite it being the most expensive one i went ahead and bought it. However I wish I had take a moment and really thought about what would have been best for my son. This item is very bulky and therefore difficult for my son to… Read more

maneuver and doesn’t fit through doorways etc without constant frustration & assistance - which was the whole point in me getting a walker. If you want a play station with bells and whistles that happens to move a bit - this is for you. If you want a walker for your child, to go on small adventures it needs to be agile and this isn’t the item.

Best Buy - My son loves it! – This is an excellent product. We purchased it after my son used his cousin’s and we haven’t looked back. My son uses this every day when I need to have a shower or cook etc his face lights up when I put his legs in. It’s very supportive of his posture and his leg strength is great as a result of him using this. Highly recommend.

Baby loves it but it's not practical – I'm a bit disappointed with this activity centre it doesn't roll very well the brakes make it hard for them to go in a side way direction - the rocker is hard to pull out to use - the seat is a pain to get out to clean - I think for the price it could be a much better design. You wouldn't want Bub to have an "accident" in it just taking the seat… Read more

apart alone is a nightmare. On a positive Bub absolutely loves the toys and it's the only activity centre she's been able to really play with properly so far (I've had a few) - she's 17 weeks not big enough for feet to touch yet but the toys are definitely keeping her amused. It will do the job but with just a few small changes it could be so much better.

Loves it but not built for dribble – My daughter loved this i re used it again with my second daughter only yo find out the key board isnt very resistant to a little dribble it has now stopped working other than that good value for money lots of different features and feathers for bubs to play with

Good product, hardly used – We bought it, hoping to encourage our baby to walk, but it worked only for short period time. Mostly it was used as pusher, toy and barrier

Baby loves it! – My baby started crawling at 6 months and we got this at 8 months. I wish I had it sooner as my baby loves playing around in it and is super fast on her feet in this thing. There are heaps of toys to keep her entertained. We got this on sale for $139 and it is worth every cent!

Great toy! – Our baby loved it! First the stationary position was a great activity, the toys are fun and accessible. The walker stage was perfect for our very active 5-10 months old, inside the house and also in the driveway. We thought it was safe and we haven't had any fear of tipping over.

Awesome walker! – After doing heaps of research and shopping around for a walker/activity centre.... we decided this is the one we really wanted for our bub! Heaps of toys to keep bub entertained - with music too! Functions well, swivel chair glides with ease! There's also tray tables under the removable toys for snacks! He loves it, we love it! Worth every penny! Highly recommend this walker! Very pleased with this purchase!

Great! – My baby loves being in the walker! It gives her a new perspective on the world and a safer view of her toddler sister! I know she will grow to love it more as she grows. It has lots of different activities and music. My toddler loves playing with it too, which can be a power struggle haha.

Lifesaver!!! – This is one of my FAVOURITE baby purchases. I got it on sale for $119 and it has been worth every cent. My son has used it everyday from 4 months to now at 9 months. It's been fun to watch him grow and learn how to play with the centre. He now runs around - or should I say bashes around in it. He's a late crawler so this has been a godsend since… Read more

he can still follow me around the house. If he's not in it he's squarking for me to pick him up and take him everywhere, so it gives him his independence and me my sanity. He plays for ages in it!! It's also great that you can have it stationery or a rocker - although I don't use those options. Also I love that it has the safety stoppers so he can't go down stairs etc. Highly recommend!! Good to use at many ages, can wash the seat, change from rocker, to walker etc, fun for my bub I find it a bit hard to clean all the cracks and crevices

Excellent Helper – We loved this walker as we wanted an activity centre that had the option of staying in one place. We still use it in the mornings when everyones getting ready for school as he's in one place and noone bumps him or trips on him. You can take the toy tray out and use it as a feeding tray for fruit and bikkies then wipe clean and put the tray back… Read more

in. Being able to have it as a play centre or a rocker or a walker was the bonus for us as we are highset and didn't want the wheels on at all. Our little guy is 13mths old and we have had a great time with it. Am giving it to my new nephew in a few months and i know it will be loved there as much as it was here. P.s.- you can have the music on soft or loud. Take the seat out and wash it and dry it whilst he's sleeping. This was our third walker over 7 children and probably the one we love the best. The option of wheels off and rocker mode.

Wonderful Walker – My 4 mnth old son and I really like this walker. Loads of toys all within reach because of the swivel seat. Can be moved with ease. My 4yr old daughter loves to ''help" with the keyboard too. Do watch that you lift bub out towards rear as legs can scrape at front but once your aware it doesnt happen. And also left microphone off until bub a litlle… Read more ·  3

bigger as i read previous review, but overall great price, great item! Would happily reccomend. Bought online from babycarenursery.com, fast and good value shipping. Height adjuster in legs, swivel seat. The tabs where the seat locks in do scrape legs, but once aware it didnt happen again.

A fantastic product – My little girl likes to spend time in this walker Plenty of interesting toys to keep her entertained & with the swivel seat they are all in easy reach. It is very colourful and bright helps her practise her new found skills and knowledge. What else can i say except I recommend this walker/play station to anyone. Great value for money

Its dangerous and should be re-called – I loved the look of this activity center when i purchased it for my son; Its bright, colorful and i loved that it was a rocker and walker all in one. I began to put my son in the activity center one month ago when he turned 4 months old. Within this month his arm has become lodged in between the microphone holder and parrot on three separate… Read more

occasions, today being the last and final time. I have also found that when i lift my son out of the material seat his legs get caught and he is left with red marks on his thighs.

I do not recommend this product to anyone.

Fantastic! – This walker saved my sanity! All of the walkers I saw were so very boring just plain cars with nothing to stimulate them & my bub hated lying down on his play mat so this was pretty much the only option for me! The music gets annoying but I think that's the way with all baby toys, I would just turn it off sometimes cause I'm evil lol... But my son… Read more

loved this walker from a little bub just sitting and playing to a full on 10 month year old cruising around the house, it has so much to play with all the different sounds, different materials to feel and animals to play with. It's a little more expensive but if your having more then one bub or can afford I highly recommend! Everything from sounds to different materials to feel.. Easy to assemble & has really lasted! Not too much fun to clean, but hey what is! You do need to be careful with chubby bubba's like ours as you can scrape their legs but we did it once and learned to be careful never happened again...

A must have if your looking at a walker – Excellent my son has used it from three months an still using in at ten months with hours of entertainment and many more to come. becasue it;s a rocker a walker and the seat rotates he was never board. he was able to move freely and safely around the house. loved the music of the keyboard and the animals attached, Able to use frm a young age… Read more
