Advantages: Keeps baby entertained for hours! Disadvantages: Price is quite high
AVAILABILITY AND PRICE
*****************************
The Leapfrog Learn and Groove is brand new for 2005 and was only available in most of the shops from March.
They retail at around £80 and are available from places like Mothercare and Argos.
I bought mine from Argos online which cost me £85 including postage and packing. This does seem a little steep but one month on I'm already realising it was worth every penny.
REASON FOR PURCHASE

My sister in law bought this for my twins for christmas, I thought it was a bit expensive to be buying them but I didnt argue and now I am sooo glad I didnt. My children love this activity station, They go in it at least once everyday and they have so much fun.
We got ours from Early learning centre and it cost around £80, which is quite expensive but definately worth every penny, I owe my sister in law big style for buying the babies this.

Advantages: Keeps baby safe, happy & in one place, portable, wipe clean & washable Disadvantages: It is a large item / toy
We bought the Leap Frog Activity Station as an early Christmas present for our almost 4 month old son quite recently and I have to say it is our most valued item for him the house!
The station itself looks a bit like a traditional sit-in baby walker but it's not. It is a stationery activity centre in which the baby sits/stands in the middle and is surrounded by an array of things to play with.
It has five items/toys for your baby to play with:

Advantages: Keeps baby very entertained and safe Disadvantages: Is a bit cumbersome and awkward to 'flatpack'
...first Christmas and found the LeapFrog Learn and Groove DJ Activity station - ideal as both her parents are DJs.
It is a lovely activity station with 5 basic toy elements - record player, number piano, microphone, mirror ball and juke box which I will explain individually shortly.
Alex hates lying down now and wants to be upright all the time - a bit of a pain when you are trying to do other things such as the chore that is housework - and ...

DJ baby in da house. Review ofLeapFrog Learn & Groove Activity Stationby
xxsaxonyxx
Advantages: Safe and great fun, teaches abc's and 1,2,3's. Disadvantages: Expensive.
My dad bought this for our 7 month old girl's Christmas. She loves it!
Unpacking and building***************
The 'donut' as i call it is very easy to set up, just click the three legs into the top part and thats the main bit done. Click all the music sections into their spaces on the top and hook the fabric seat onto the frame. Bingo! All set.
Oh... batteries, three AA is what you will need, they are not supplied which was a bit of a bummer.

Advantages: A fantastically entertaining product for baby that will last Disadvantages: Quite pricey, but worth it all the same
When my son turned 4 months old he started to get very frustrated because he was becoming more aware of the world around him, but wasn't able to participate in the way that he wanted! He hated lying on his back at this point; I would have to walk him around the house shaking toys at him, and I was running out of ideas. Then I found the Learn & Groove.
This toy is absolutely fantastic. It is a complete playcentre for your baby that is suitable ...

Advantages: Allows baby to see the world from a new angle, bouncy, lots of music and noises

A must have buy for any busy mummy! I bought one of these as my daughter was very late sitting and walking as she was a prem baby and I though it would encourage her development.

Sing it baby!! Review ofLeapFrog Learn & Groove Activity Stationby

Advantages: Great for young babies who want to get up and move, stable support Disadvantages: Can be expensive - shop around, Huge toy takes up space
This toy is excellent and we were lucky enough to get it new in a 'sale' for £55.
I would suggest parents buy this from as young an age as possible or that they feel comfortable with (around 4 months) as it will entertain baby and stop them getting bored or frustrated with lack of movement. It certainly has a short life span for such an expensive toy because as soon as baby can stand/walk alone it is no good.
It gives 360 degree mobility and ...

Quick review of Leap Frog Learn & Groove Activity Station Review ofLeapFrog Learn & Groove Activity Stationby
bigred23
The grand parents bought this for our little boy for Christmas when he was 5 months old. He absolutely loves it. We call it the UFO. It gives my partner time to do jobs as he can't get out of it. The other thing we have notice is that it has helped him to get stronger and his concentration has got better from using this. He would start off only 5-10 minutes in this before he would moan and lean to the side. Now he can stay in it well over half an hour and he supports his head and back better. It is not cheap but worth every penny.

Advantages: very entertainin,educational and catchy music. Disadvantages: hard to clean the surface.
this is my fold away baby sitter, when my baby was old enough to sit up she came with me where ever i needed to clean, she even play in it if i needed to have a bath or shower. it is very entertaining and educational. my daugters first word was ba- ba-do-ha one of the entertaining phrases the activity station sings, it is very musical and has 2 settings one a-b-c and he other is do-ray-me. it sings the a-b-c and my daughter already knows the basic ...
