Fisher-Price Intellitainer H0086

Date Published: 4/7/08

The Fisher-Price Intellitainer H0086 has a number of features sure to keep even the most active babies busy.

While this entertainment center stays grounded, a baby can still move and explore, thanks to a seat that swivels 360 degrees. Plus, the seat slides, a thoughtful feature that allows a baby to use his or her leg power to travel back and forth.

Three of the Intellitainer's four sides are packed with interactive toys. We find the toys are a hit with our tester, who enjoys turning the pages of the plastic storybook and listening to one of three nursery rhymes. There are hanging toys to swat or pull, as well as beads to slide, a rattle to move, buttons to push, and music that plays. While most entertainers offer similar interactive toys, we find the Intellitainer has more toys than the average entertainment center. As a result, our tester stayed busy--and content--for a longer period of time. The activities teach letters, numbers, colors, shapes, first words, opposites, and more.

The addition of a seat that swivels and slides seems to satisfy a baby's need for locomotion and adds an element of physical and mental stimulation. The fact that the Intellitainer frame stays stable and immobile is a benefit; no need to worry about a curious baby on wheels motoring toward a stairway or other potentially dangerous area. A built-in snack tray is a handy addition and we like the ability to adjust the seat's height as a baby grows.

Two modes of play also help this entertainment center grow with a baby; there is one mode for younger babies and a "learning" mode for older babies that offers another level of feedback and interaction from the toys.

Overall, the Fisher-Price Intellitainer H0086 is an entertainment center that offers fun, learning, and entertainment for a baby.
