Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair
It’s baby’s very own place to sit and discover new things! This “magic” ABC seat knows when baby sits, activating songs and phrases when baby stands. Press the light-up remote or flip book pages to hear numbers, shapes and more. Lift the cushion to reveal more fun surprises.
The chair includes Smart Stages™ technology, an exciting new way to change learning content as baby grows. Every baby develops at their own pace, and Smart Stages™ gives you the ability to select the stage that’s best for your child! There are a variety of developmentally appropriate songs, phrases and sounds within three levels of play – just slide the switch or enter baby’s age for automatic level changes.

Standing over 3 feet tall, this play set ramps up the zipping, zooming racing fun!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, however all opinions are my own.
Mattel does have some great toys. I really both the Yellow Stages Chair and theFisher-Price® Little People® City Skyway. Both would keep little ones busy,
Thanks for the great suggestions. They would be great choices for our little nephew!
