Intellitainer (infant activity center by Fisher Price)

I found this Intellitainer on craigslist and brought it home on 2/1/06. The previous owner was selling it because their son had outgrown it and was walking.Astrid was getting bored with her Ultrasaucer but at the time wasn't standing on her own yet, so it looked like a unique alternative to an Exersaucer. Instead of spinning kids in a circle, it allows them to walk up and down a track, turning themselves 360 degrees to play with sounds, music and toys. She really enjoyed sitting in it before we left for Florida, but now she's standing.But it's still good b/c she likes to pull herself up on the side and play with the toys. I might even remove the seat so that she can walk inside and play with the toys.Astrid just loves to be standing because she can reach all kinds of stuff now.

The front of the Intellitainer has an arch with the alphabet, and hanging toys/chimes.The one side that Astrid is grabbing has a clock the flips over with a mirror on the other, movable parts/shapes, and a rattle.

The opposite side has an electronic book with nursery rhymes that either can either be read out loud or sang when the pages are turned. It also has two buttons for musical instruments, the ABC's, a spinning cylinder, and a bus (that plays "Wheels on the bus go round and round.")Astrid loves turning the pages of the book. You'll hear just the first part of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and then suddenly it'll switch to "Jack and Jill" and then "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as she turns the pages as fast as she can.

Now that she's standing it might not last as long as I hoped, but since I bought it at a discount anyway, I can turn around and sell it on craigslist when the time comes.
