“I have a 4-month-old and was wondering what your professional opinion is of getting him an exer-saucer to play in! I know your views on walkers and I am definitely not going to get him one of those so do you think an exer-saucer is ok?”
My kids loved to play in their “exer-saucer”. This is basically a round table with a kid-sized hole in the center with a swivel seat. The child can sit and play with a variety of activities around the table, turning himself at will. Parents often ask if these are safe for the child’s hips or back – don’t worry, these toys are fine.
