5/5

This is a great toy full of fun activities , well built

My 9 month old daughter absolutely loves it!

We love this activity center! It is a little short like other reviews mentioned. My 18-month-old kept trying to spin it so I mounted it on an 18” diameter Lazy Susan and secured it with museum glue. Kid is super happy he can spin it without issue!

My 10 month old LOVES this toy. There are so many elements that delight him - spinners on rails, flaps, gears, animal faces. The problem is that the toy is not stable at all and when he tries to pull up on it, it falls over on him unless I sit there and hold it. Furthermore it has pointy wood edges so you really have to watch a younger child like a hawk while they play so they don't fall over and hurt themselves. Once my son is older I think this will be a VIP but for now it's for limited supervised play only.

This is a great toy! When I got the pieces out of the box, my 8 month old immediately tried to grab them all and play!This toy has a lot of great aspects. It has four bead mazes, two spinning gears, a set of two abacus counters, one bendy flower, two critters that crawl beneath the tree, a tree house with two doors, and eight double sided critters who crawl along the treetop. Whew! It's a lot of activities. However, I'd say it's the perfect amount. My baby can play happily with this toy for 20 minutes or more. He doesn't seem overwhelmed with the options.This toy promotes logical thinking and demonstrates object permanence. It's great to see him make these discoveries. One thing I observed was that since this toy has double sided critters, my baby moves the critters and peeks around the walls to see it moving on the other side. That's a great lesson for babies! And as for object permanence, one of the bead mazes, and the two critters beneath the tree, can be pushed through the openings in the walls. When you move the them, they can seem to disappear to the other side of the tree. When baby peeks around the wall he can find them again.Those are the main developmental benefits I observed with this toy. Other notable details: it's a good height for a sitting baby between the ages of 6-18 months. I has lots of cute movable animals, including a bee, a bird, a ladybug, a butterfly, a monkey, a bear, a dog, a frog, a snail, and an ant. The printed design on the walls include a side with apples and worms with a treehouse, a side with birds and their nests, a side with yellow blossoms, and a side with plums and the other side of the treehouse.Okay, lastly, this toy was relatively easy to assemble. It literally has five parts and some screws. Just line them up, and screw it together! My only complaint is that the screws were stubborn to tighten, but it was doable. The toy is very sturdy, however, baby cannot safely use it to sit to stand. The toy is simply to light for that. So watch your baby if they are going to attempt to use it for that purpose.

Granddaughter loves it! This is the second Manhattan Toy activity center I've purchased. Solid construction. Hours of play and little ones can't lose (or swallow) the pieces.

My son loves it. It's a smaller than expected for the price but he likes it. Easy to assemble. Box was was broken when arrived but nothing was broken. Colorful, not to heavy.
