Yes, for infants using an activity center that allows them to lay on the ground, on their backs, and play is a great choice. They come in different forms. Most of them have hanging toys, beads and beautiful things to keep the baby entertained. You can do this for several hours at a stretch; however, your child’s neck can strain if you keep them in this position for longer. Always take them out, go for a round and then let them in again. It is wise to do it only for some time while you are busy and not make it a habit. If you need to do it, then making sure you place a comfortable baby blanket to aid their neck and back is essential. Make sure you buy something that your child will like to play with even when they are slightly older. To know this, you can always borrow from a friend and see how it works for a couple of days. If all looks good, then go ahead and buy.
