Toy Tuesday: Non-Toxic Alternatives to Baby Exersaucers

When your baby reaches the stage where an exersaucer would seem appropriate for play, parents looking to avoid plastics may find this to be a challenge. Many of the exersaucers sold in popular toy stores are completely constructed of plastics and may be lurking with harmful chemicals. Unfortunately, I have not found any wooden form of an exersaucer but there are some other great similar options to keep baby entertained, stimulated, and happy.
Kidco Go-Pod Portable Activity Seat
This is one of my favorite alternatives to the bulky, plastic, traditional exersaucer. The Go-Pod can be easily set up as well as folded down for baby's play. All of baby's toys that you already own can be arranged as you choose around the pod and held into place with nylon loops- no pre-selected plastic toys here! It is also an ideal activity center for small spaces or on the go since it easily stores in a carrying bag. Some additional features include:Floor pad - keeps baby's feet from touching undesirable surfacesLocking button - ensures Go-Pod is locked in place and safe for babyFour seat height positions - grows with baby for appropriate leg/feet positioningDrink and snack holders
