3.0 out of 5 stars Safety Concern, November 9, 2003

This review is from: Evenflo Portable Ultrasaucer (Baby Product)

This product is indeed a necessity and a great way to stimulate your child. One note of caution: there is a taller plastic piece shaped like a jester's head that has 3 rounded points at its top. My child smacked himself in the eye with it and caused damage and swelling. I intentionally kept this and another taller plastic piece off the exersaucer for over a month until I felt my child could handle himself OK in the saucer. But, within 2 days of placing both those pieces back on the saucer, he had an accident. It could have been worse with severe, permanent eye damage caused... I have now pulled this "jester" piece off for good.

I did a lot of research before buying this Ultrasaucer for my 5-month-old son. I have to say that, unlike the other "walkers" that I purchased in the past for my daughters, this one gets 5 stars from me! Here are some of my favorite features:

It's portable! The legs collapse EASILY to let it fit in between the seats of your car or even the smallest of trunks. A great way to take it camping or to Grandma's house. It even has a carrying handle, to make it even easier! I'd say that, when folded, it's about 10 inches thick, so you don't need to own a minivan or SUV to transport it in!

Chock full of toys at a decent size! Some of the others that we looked at had a lot of wasted space on the play bar. This one has literally crammed as many toys as possible onto the play area, keeping baby entertained longer. The great use of space on this item keeps it from being as gigantic as some of the deluxe saucers out there, which is great in our large but narrow living room!

Great teethers! My son loves the fact that there are 4 different toys on here long and flexible enough to get into his mouth!

Rotates easily! Some of the others were a pain to swivel the seat, but this one turns so easily that even my 5-month-old son can turn himself with his own fat little feet!

Unique, durable colors! This isn't your usual pink-and-blue. It's all rich colors: red, purple, turquoise, orange and bright yellow. No pale, washed out coloring to show the dirt-this saucer will look clean and new long after the others are faded and dingy!

EASY height adjustments! All of them *say* they're easy to adjust, but most take Arnold Schwartzenegger to do. This is the only one I've ever used where I was able to easily pull out the adjustment lever on each leg and raise or lower it as often as I needed to. A great asset, since my 2 year old often likes to climb in it when her brother's asleep! And unlike some of the others we tested, the lowest setting on this one lets his feet easily touch the bottom.

Big enough for any child! My 5-month-old is a chub (18 pounds), and he still fits in the seat just fine. Some of the others had leg holes too small to fit his pork chops! My 2 year old daughter also fits in it easily, and since it's approved up to 30 pounds it's plenty strong enough for her. A good choice if you also have a jealous toddler wanting to use baby's seat!

Engrossing toys! No two toys are alike on this Ultrasaucer, and each one is fascinating to my son in it's turn. When he gets bored with one, we simply rotate him a bit, and he's stunned to find a whole new set to play with!

Castle theme is so original! How many more toys does he need with flower-shaped beads on them? And while there are two sound/light toys and two that rattle, none of them are loud; this toy doesn't drive me crazy to listen to for long periods of time, and I can still hear the TV!

Overall, I think that you just can't beat this Ultrasaucer by Evenflo. It's well-made, easy to assemble (extremely), foldable, and probably the most original stationary entertainer you'll find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great investment!, June 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Evenflo Portable Ultrasaucer (Baby Product)

My husband and I went back and forth on whether to purchase a ultrasaucer for our 4 month old son. He loves his activity gym, but we were concerned about him spending so much time on his back. We decided to purchase the Portable Fun Saucer to help him gain more neck and upper body strength/coordination.

Several of my friends have previous models of the Evenflo saucer, and I have to say, that this model is much better. First off, it's portable. I was concerned that I'd have to muscle it open and shut, but I was surprised to find that it folds quickly, quietly and without too much effot. It easily fits into the backseat or trunk of our Honda Civic for those trips to Grandma's house. It will even fit back into the box it came in if you remove the toys from the tray. This version also has more toys than previous models.

The castle-themed toys are colorful and creative. My son loves the King/Queen musical toy, the spinning dragon ball and what baby doesn't love to look at himself in a mirror?!?! He even loves exploring the plastic caps that cover the springs. We keep the stationary legs up, but will lower them once our son is a bit bigger and can handle bouncing and rocking.

Yes, the price is enough to make any sensible parent gasp, but believe me, it's worth it. Our son will get a good 8 months of use out if it and if/when we have more children, they'll get to use it too!
