Room to Grow

Here's another seat with lots of bells and whistles: The Doodle Bugs Around We Go Activity Center from Bright Starts has toy dragonflies that bend around, fish that slide, and a frog with swirling beads. Your baby can rotate around the table to reach all the fun. Once your tot grows too old for the seat, it's detachable so she can still enjoy the play table. ($90)
