Evenflo ExerSaucer Delux – Wild Thing Reviews
This product is a good, inexpensive baby saucer. Our 4 month old rapidly got bored with the bouncy seat and the play mat..they get tired of laying on their backs yet aren’t big enough to crawl around so these saucers are great for that. However, I didn’t want to spend $100 or more on something that my rapidly growing child would outgrow or get bored with in just a couple of months so this evenflo saucer fit the bill. There is some assembly required and the directions were woefully inadequate. The instruction manual is in two tone monochrome and the pictures are small. Step 4 of the assembly instructions says: “Align triangle on the back of the seat ring with the red diamond.” Folks, I looked and looked and my wife looked..there was no “red diamond” anywhere. I knew from the picture where it was SUPPOSED to be but it wasn’t actually there. Being logical and working in the software industry I tend to freeze up when the instructions can’t be absolutely defined and followed. Eventually I just put the thing together using intuition and a quick reference of the color picture online. It’s not rocket science but why does Evenflo have to cut corners with their manual? Just charge a few bucks extra and create a manual that doesn’t suck.
Anywho, our baby likes the toy and it occupies her mind for now. I used super glue to glue the posts to the base of the saucer. I don’t plan to disassemble this thing any time soon and they seem loose and cheap and look as though they could slide out of place. I also used olive oil to lubricate the contact points of the post and upper tray. If you don’t do this, the child’s bouncing will make an annoying plastic on plastic squeaking/crunching noise. Also, you may want to wipe the thing down with clorox and wash the seat before using. No telling what the factory in China uses as chemicals to manufacture these parts. The product itself is apparently made in the USA but the parts are labeled China.
