Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not great customer service Bought as a Christmas gift. Piano doesn't work. I contacted customer service they are saying a replacement isn't available. Sending a $25.00 gift card doesn't help the fact that part of my granddaughters activity center is unusable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 5-star product, but no replacement parts Love this activity center! My 2 grandchildren have used it through all the stages and we are currently enjoying it as a toddler table. Sadly, the seat began to tear and the company doesn’t offer replacement parts, so we will have to discard it when we are done using it as a table.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No replacement pieces My child got the fabric seat wet and it go mildew spots. I requested a fabric seat cover replacement and customer service said it was my fault for "improper storage" when it was in my living room. Note that it was still under the 2-year warranty. The activity center is good but it is expensive and if anything breaks, the whole thing is useless because they do not offer any replacement pieces.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from worst warranty policy - buyer beware Like so many of you mentioned, the cloud toy broke. Skip hop refuses to replace under warranty or even let me pay for a new cloud toy because it has been over two years since purchase. Are their toys meant to be used by one child only and then dumped? Do they want us to contribute to the ever increasing landfills? Doesn't make sense to me. I will think twice before ever purchasing another skip hop toy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Baby loves it, but need toy replacements Spinner toy broke and I really wish you could buy the toys separate to replace it. Hopefully skip+hop will make this possible soon! My baby loves the play center.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great toy - Replacement pieces would be great! We really love this toy but I wish replacement pieces were sold. Unfortunately the gray piece that the babies stand on has warped from my son jumping on it as an infant. Now we are trying to use it as a table and the gray piece doesn’t sit flat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for sibling interaction! Once our niece and nephews were done using this, our daughters took over ownership. This is The Best, it grows with the child(ren), it’s great for the entire family: Baby can play solo or with older siblings, parents can actually get things done. The girls are older now, so they use this as their snack & coloring table. His should be on every baby shower registry!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great activity center! I bought this during thanksgiving, and my daughter loves it. She’s 6-month now and will grow with it. So far she likes the flapping trees most.
