I've just got a jumperoo which is very much loved. I won't buy a walker that he can sit in due to the poor reports about affecting walking, and the lack of space for him to get very far. As I've got the jumperoo I just don't thinkhe needs an activity station too.

Haven't seen the baby einstein one so can't comment on that.

Tyler has these two:
He prefers the jumperoo to the activity station as I think he needs to be able to sit up 100% unaided to use the activity station and it's more "musical" than anything else (I personally prefer the jumperoo too). I would recommend going on ebay though as I got both of these from there at a fraction of the price they normally are.

I won't be getting a walker as I have these two items and have also heard a few bad reviews on them. Plus he'll only get 2 steps then have to turn around !!!

TJ has the groove station but its at my mates and I need to pick it up!

It was my nephews and he loved it.

We won't be getting a walker - personally I'm not keen on them, plus we don't really have the room anyway

we have the einstien it is really good but sooo expensive we brought it when we had vouchers, elena-mae hated it but ru lovesit and enjoys spining round and playing with all of it what she easpecialy likes is the sound part it has pictures of a cow duck dog cat and you press it once it says moo/miow/woof ect press it again it says the word, then again says the word in spanish then if you press it a 4th time each button plays a different peice of classical music, ru gets soooo excited when she presses it enough times to get the music. she can happily play alone for about 20 mins! but that said it is a gamble cos i was gutted when ell hated it....all that money! thankl god we had another one lol

We have the Leapfrog Groove station too and both my boys love it. It was expensive but we got it when it was in the sale and wouldn't have got it otherwise but i think it is the best money we have ever spent on any baby item!!

Oli was in it from 5 months to well past his 1st birthday, doesn't seem that long ago since we put it away. Now it is back down and Joey loves it too, he is just starting to get the power to be able to turn in it but he loves sucking on the microphone :lol: When Joey isn't in it, Oli will climb in himself to play in it still and he is 2 next week :lol: he does look funny when he is relaxed back in the seat and has his feet sticking out over the sides :lol: Thankfully he understands that he can't go in it when joey is in it

My eldest had a walker although if i remember right he didn't use it much and didn't have any problems walking.

I have a Jumperoo and Ruby loves it, especially now her feet fully touch the floor. I also have a walker, but Ruby's feet still dangle in it. I was given the walker and will put Ruby in it, as all my other friends lo's are walking fine and they all had one. I also have wood floor, which I think makes it easier than carpet. The walker's wheels all go fully round, so shes never going to be just going back and fourth xx

The jumperoo sounds fab and all the reviews online are good, might go and see if i can have a look at one today and persuade my dh to buy it! x
