The "Circle of Neglect" (Just Kidding): Why We Love the Skip Hop Activity Center
Okay, parenting joke: we call them "circles of neglect" because they let you go to the bathroom in peace. But the Skip Hop Explore & More 3-Stage Activity Center is actually a thoughtfully designed tool for motor skill development.

3 Stages of Use
Most baby gear lasts 3 months. This lasts 3 years.
- Sit, Swivel, Bounce: For infants who can hold their head up. The platform adjusts for their height.
- Cruising: Once they are walking, the seat comes out and it becomes a play table.
- Toddler Table: A clean, sturdy surface for drawing or snacks.
Not an Eyesore
Let's be real—most activity centers look like a unicorn exploded in a plastic factory. The Skip Hop has a clean, modern aesthetic that doesn't scream "baby takeover" in your living room.
The Piano Window
A unique feature is the clear "discovery window" by the foot piano. It lets babies see their own feet hitting the keys, which teaches cause-and-effect in a way other centers miss.
Verdict
If you buy one large piece of plastic for your living room, make it this one. It earns its square footage.
