This table is made of sustainable bamboo and silicone—but this has its limitations. Upon receiving, you'll want to open the box immediately to allow the table to ventilate, as bamboo is sensitive to moisture. The table is not treated with chemicals of any kind, so it's important to keep it dry at all times. Rest assured that it can be disinfected with a mild cleaning solution and should be patted (not rubbed) dry.

This type is a multifunctional toy which can be used as an educational table. It boasts various sounds with numbers or certain words for the baby to learn. Feeding Poison: Children propped up in a walker can more easily reach dangerous objects such as medication or household cleaners. Dr. Le also notes that falling will occur and is expected. "Reminding your child that trips or falls are OK and normal helps them understand it's part of the learning process," she says.

Thankfully, there are a variety of activity centers and push toys on the market today that are much safer than sit-in baby walkers. But before a child even begins to crawl, parents should baby proof the home to provide a safe environment to explore and play. The Jumperoo came in second in the Best of BabyCenter Awards poll, with 20 percent of voters (135) choosing it as their favorite. Again and again they mentioned how much their babies love bouncing in it: "My kids love to jump and this kept them entertained" was a typical comment. Other parents appreciated the "nice colors" and "so many things to play with" to encourage babies' fine motor skills.

Baby walkers, which are sometimes called "mobile activity centers," are not recommended by the AAP, who says that these devices send thousands of children to the hospital each year. These devices have wheels so babies can sit in a fabric or plastic chair while they roll around, and they have no benefits, says the AAP: Though parents often think they will help children learn to walk, they can actually delay when your child starts to walk. Use sit in mode only for a child who is able to hold head upright unassisted and who is not able to walk or climb out of product. Use activity table mode once child is pulling up to a stand, taking steps, or walking. We absolutely love the Skip Hop activity center. Each tabletop toy can be removed easily for cleaning. The platform can be moved down as your baby grows, then it turns into a table once your baby is a toddler."
