Let me just come right out and say it. Your infant needs a baby gym, and I’m not talking about a weight bench and little infant dumbbells.
I’m talking about a multi-purpose activity center for your infant to play, learn, exercise and entertain themselves. From increased coordination and motor skills to cognitive development and independence, the benefits of your baby having a gym are numerous.
Not to mention, an activity center keeps your infant busy and occupied, giving you a much-needed break and a little time to breathe (we’re looking at you dad). So without further ado, let’s dive right into the world of baby gyms.
