KidCo - GoPod Adjustable Height Travel Activity Seat with Floor Mat, Portable Baby Chair, Baby Activity Center (Pistachio)

I bought this for my niece who is at my house two days a week. When I bought this she was 5 months old and she fit fine. It's been 5 or 6 weeks and it's working out great. I don't have small children and I'm single so being able to put away my baby supplies is important to me. The first time her mom saw it she thought it looked very strange, but once she saw her playing in it she was sold. This folds up easily, is very lightweight and easy to carry around the house even with a baby under your arm. The top has loops to attach toys so you can swap them out easily and change them to meet your babies needs. I think it's sturdy and solid. My niece is very active and I have noticed she moves about a bit if she's jumping. I have no worries of her tipping over, although she has scooted next to the coffee table and can reach to grab things. I have hardwood floors and I somewhat solved this problem by putting a small rug with a rubber back underneath. More than once she has "leaned back" and quietly chewed on her tows and then drifted off to sleep so it must be comfortable. It's difficult to describe how the baby sits in the unit. She is "sunk in" so to speak. There is enough support for her to stand and she sits (somewhat reclined) when she wants to. I have fed her her cereal while she was in the seat and just immediately wiped up any spills. The fabric is a nylon canvas and I have found it easy to keep clean with a wet washcloth. I chose this over a bouncy seat or walker because of it's portability and the fact I can pack it away as easily as a folding chair. I think it's excellent. I have purchased a pack and play, bouncy chair (which she has already outgrown) and have a Bumbo seat a friend borrowed me and so far this has been the most valuable. Even if she were my own infant, I think it would defiantly be worth buying for regular use.

Worked amazing for travel! Little one seemed to be comfy and love being inside it was great when we went camping and so easy to clean up when done!

As a mom of twins, I've struggled with handling two active babies at once, at home and on the go. This activity seat has been a real lifesaver - I no longer have to hire someone to help me! I now keep two in the car and two at home. It goes where bouncy chairs and exersaucers cannot. GREAT FOR SMALL SPACES - I've found tons of uses for this seat - at home, it keeps my babies safe in the foyer and within view while I take things to and from the car. It keeps them busy and happy in the bathroom while I get ready or while bathe the other twin. In the dining room, it keeps them entertained while we eat. When not in use, I just close the seats and tuck them into a corner. GOES ANYWHERE - The seat weighs just seven lbs and comes in its own carry tote with shoulder strap and storage pocket. Closed, it measures 30" x 6" x 6". The attached floor pad keeps their feet from touching any dirty surfaces. Two of these should fit easily in a 32" duffle for travel (if it can be carried on a plane as the picture on the box shows it would be great for layovers - I haven't tried this). A great one: High Sierra 32" Drop Bottom Wheeled Duffle EASY TO SET UP - It's a cinch to use - no assembly required, it pops open in less that 15 seconds. Open, it locks into position into a sturdy seat with an ample top - 24" x 24" - just make sure the push pin in the bottom front left leg is out so the seat is locked. AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS - On the go, it fits easily in the trunk of your car and can be used in a pinch when the parking spaces between cars is too narrow for a double stroller (so I don't leave one baby alone in front of or behind the car in a stroller while I put the other one in the car seat - I put one in the GoPod next to me). It's also great for doctor's offices. And my favorite, for getting one or two babies and a stroller safely up and down stairs (put one baby at the bottom in a GoPod, the other one at the top, bring the stroller down empty). VERSATILE - Five loops on top can be used for hooking toys (not included) - just make sure they have plastic loops (not strings) - any toy from an activity mat or from the brand Lamaze works well. my babies love the Lamaze Freddie the Firefly, Colors May Vary AGE & WEIGHT - The recommended weight capacity for the seat is 12-26 lbs, for ages 4 months+ (can hold head up to walking age). I'm not so sure about that. I use it for my 7 month-old twins who can sit almost unsupported and they barely reach the floor in the lowest setting. The top of the seat comes up to their armpits. For my 27" 18 lb daughter, who can't reach the floor, I found that putting a rolled up hand towel or blanket in front of her keeps her from wobbling around in the seat. For my 28" son, who can reach in tip toes, the towel in back seemed to work better. The disadvantage is that they tend to want to lie back if they're not able to stand - again, a rolled up towel behind their head helped (bit not ideal). For an average size baby (50% for weight), this seat should be usable up to 18 months. SEAT - The seat diameter is 10 .5 inches and about 10 inches deep. The leg holes are toward the front so your baby sits in it (doesn't hang from the crotch). However, the fabric is flexible, so the baby can tip forward if she's not touching the floor - an important consideration as a younger baby would be swallowed up by the seat. The "table" top is also not level (it sinks down with the weight of the baby), so don't plan on using this for eating or for putting sippy cups in it (regardless of what it says, though cheerios should be Ok) GROWS WITH BABY - There are four height positions, each about an inch apart. At the lowest position, the bottom of the seat is about 6" from the floor, the top, 16". In the highest position, the bottom of the seat is about 10" from the floor, the top about 20". I do wish the instructions were clearer for adjusting the height - it's not readily apparent as it extends above where the crossbars on the corners intersect (not below). It's not hard though, just press the button on each leg and, while holding on the leg, raise the top plastic piece in each corner - a picture on the box shows how. The push buttons that lock each leg in place can be tricky but if you rotate the top corner piece a little it makes it easier to slide and lock the bars - fortunately you don't need to adjust the height each time, it closes on any setting. SURFACE CLEAN - Finally, the material. It's a synthetic canvas-like material that should hold up over time - similar to a duffle's. It's surface clean with water and mild soap (no bleach), air dry. Not practical at all for feeding a baby. I've found that putting a burp cloth on top helps keep it clean as both my babies are teething and drooling a lot. Although it has drink and snack holders, I'd be careful what I'd put in them. In all, a great baby product that I would highly recommend. If it could be used for eating it would be perfect. ** UPDATE 9/8/11 - these seats were great during a recent evacuation for Hurricane Irene, as they held the babies while we scrambled about and then fit in the car with all the supplies - they fit well in the small interior room we used to ride out the storm. This said, my 32" tall, 22 lb 15 month babies are now in the last setting for height, and I expect I'll be able to use these for a couple of more months. I've found that now that they're able to cruise they have figured out how to slide the seat around several inches on the kitchen floor by jumping and twisting around in it. They are also trying to tip it by pushing forward and backwards (not successful yet but one end did lift off the ground a little). Keep this in mind and never leave them unattended or near stairs or near a coat rack. Not sure how to remedy this but it's still the only activity seat that will hold them **

Very light, with bag makes convenience. Having this on my shoulder with my diaper bag is really not bad, totally doable. Bring this with me to my older daughters play group which make it convenient for those times to occupy baby and keep safe from running munchkins. You can easily add toys to the loops and fold them in it without making it bigger. Only negative is for smaller babies they weigh it down if they can't stand up. My son is 4 months and the lowest setting is just a bit too tall still but a stiff blanket at his feet helps just to support himself without standing completely. Lookong forward to camping with this. The quality is nice and is easy to use.

Excelente calidad

I got this portable bed for my grandson, excellent and safe solution to take to the park, or just when he is visiting, can attach toys on the side, very happy with my purchase, keep in mind that is a portable like play station for baby's , my grandson is 9 months old, is from about this age, so they can play for some time, light and can be taken everywhere.

Great for babies who haven't learned to walk but want to be part of the action. We used it for our daughter while camping. It packs up like a camp chair and stows away nicely. It was great for beach days and sitting around the campfire with the little ones. The handy mat underneath keeps the little ones feet nice and clean.

We still use this and it’s come in handy on the go. Easy to set up and take down. Just wish the fabric was able too come off for deep cleaning in the washer. Sometimes just a wipe down is not very sanitary. (Baby’s get messy) 😉

Works so well. My Granddaughter lovesit. Easy to clean
