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.

We have had the Go-Pod for a couple weeks now and LOVE it!! I saw reviews saying that babies couldn't reach the floor, but my son is 4 months old and can already "sit" in it and his feet reach the floor with no problem. He is a large baby (about the size of a 6-month old, 27 inches). The height is adjustable, so I'm wondering if those people just didn't move the height to the shortest level?? I'm pretty sure that we could move the height up a notch and he could still reach.It literally takes me about 10 seconds to set the Go-Pod up one-handed (but if you're taking it out of the storage bag, maybe it would take 15 seconds, haha). I love that it is so light and so portable! We also have one of those heavy Fisher-Price bouncer seat things...it is so NOT portable. I can easily set up the Go-Pod in the kitchen, my son's room, etc. and he can "hang out" while I do housework.I also saw reviews complaining that the Go-Pod kind of sinks down toward the middle...that's true, it does, but I don't really think it's a problem. The Go-Pod is made of the same type of nylon stuff that they make camp chairs out of, and the camp chairs sink down when you sit on them too. If your baby were to "stand" (as oppose to putting their entire weight on the bucket-seat), it wouldn't sink down. But it's not a table, so I'm not sure why people think the top needs to be flat. The top of the bucket (I'm calling the part that you sit in a "bucket" because I can't think how else to describe it) comes up past my little guy's armpits, but the bucket is a bit wider than him so he can move his arms without problem (either inside the bucket or up above it). And his head is definitely higher than the top of the Go-Pod, so he can see everything.There's 4 nylon loops on the top, so you can attach any kind of stroller toy with a hook/loop (it's nice because you can switch toys out).I considered giving 4 stars instead of 5 because since my son isn't very good at sitting on his own yet, he usually leans against one side when he's in the Go-Pod. But we've found that we can just prop him up a little with a towel (or just let him lean...he doesn't seem to mind). It would be nice if the Go-Pod came with some sort of pad to help prop up little guys (you can buy a pad if you don't like my towel idea; I've seen them on amazon).And although we haven't used it outside of our house yet, I can see that it would be awesome at the beach, camping, outdoor concerts, etc. When it's in the bag, it is just like a camp chair, so you can basically take it everywhere.

I just love this thing. I didn't want our house to look like Toys R Us threw up all over our living room... plus I needed something that could travel with us...Pros:Easy: All you do to open and close it is to push the four corners together and pull the four corners apart. So easy. Perfect for people who don't want to have to "put all the toys away" every time baby's done playing... but also don't want a crazy messy living room. Essentially, it's the stationary activity center for the lazy (er, tired) parent!!!`(I put it away with the toyd still attached.)Light: Super-light for travel... or those trips downtown to free movies on the lawn of your city park... Very easy to put it in the travel bag it comes with...Good for baby: Love the loops for toys.Good fit for baby: My baby is 16 lbs and now fits in here. It allows her to stand up, but also sit when she gets tired. She looks a little funny because she's shorter than the edges right now, but the surface slanting down toward her is good b/c it allows the toys to fall toward baby instead of away.Can grow with baby (and save you money!): Because it just has loops, you can change out the toys as the child develops. (I think you can also adjust the height?)Cons:Colors: I'd love more color options. Basic black would have been nice. Or raspberry? I'm such a color-freak that I put off buying this for a long time and almost didn't buy it...The "camping" masculine tones just aren't really doing it for me.Loops: I do wish there were some loops that were closer to the center for the tiniest of baby toys. My wee one gets really annoyed when she can reach a toy, but can't put it in her mouth.Overall: hands-down a must-buy...
